Change in Regulations
Regarding Rifles.
Men Will Welcome the Order.
Drilling Begins Again
In Co. A.

Hawaii having lost in the interna
tionaI shooting contest with the First
Regiment, Infantry, of California, will
now have to present their San Fran
cisco champions with trophy. Con-
sui Wilder has been empowered TO Sc
Iect a suitable token. Colonel Fisher
will forward 10 him by the Picking the
sum of 800, with instructions TO draw
for more, in case that amount should
prove insufficient to purchase the SOU
venir he may select.
The Hawaiian team will also send
forward the inscription 10 go on the
trophy. For the present, return
match will not be asked for.
The proposed match between the
First Regiment and the Sharpshooters
has been declared off, for the reason
that suitable time for the event could
not be decided upon. Negotiations will
likely be reopened between the heads
Of the two organizations in the course
of two or three months.
AS the annexation maSs-meeting Of
the militia has been declared off, Com
pany A will have drill tomorrow even
ing.
The 50O-yard range of the Sharp
shooters Company at Kakaako VIII
most likely be completed this week. II
will be a very complete affair-a de-
cided improvement on the old arrange
ment. The Sharpshooters have been
cut out of long-distance practice since
their range at Kalia was despoiled by
the new beach road.
Company G. will meet this evening
for the transaction of business and
drill.
Company B had a very enthusiastic
meeting last evening. There was a
splendid attendance. Lieutenant Colo
mel Fisher was present. Captain White
reported the company out of debt, he
having loaned a balance of $145 10
square matters up. This information
was greeted by three cheers for the
captain. Lieutenant Colonel Fisher
donated $40 to the fund to be raised 10
reimburse Captain " mite.
Three new members were elected.
They were: Alexander X. Lewis, c.
]. McCandless and II. d. Sloggett.
Sergeants Atherton, Weldon and
Hagerup received their commissions.
Appropriate resolutions on the resig-
nation of Colonel Mclean were read
and passed.
After this week men will no longer
be required to carry their guns to the
Armory on drill nights. A rack of 40
rifles will be kept there at all times
for the use of the company whose night
it is to drill. Later, arrangements lo
keep the uniforms in the company
rooms will also be made. Then the
men will be able to go and come with
out guns or uniforms, equipping them

The first battalion of the First Regl-
ment will challenge the second battal-
ion today for a 20-man rifle contest
The idea of such a match will be to
prepare for a return shoot against he

MACS HEAD LETTER.
Written by Humorist,
"BillJ."

A few Snlpe ana yellow shank
have been seen, reminders that
the long disagreeable winter is
past; also the sand spur is evil
dence of Spring, and they will
be in time for the barefooted
youngsters next Summer. 1t has
been the most trying time to both
health and nerve l have ever
known down here. Ever since
September we have had only
North and Northeast winds, with
an occasional puff from the
Northwest, that would almost
snatch you ald-headed. You
know the chances to dodge are
very small here. 1t is either
stand out and take it, when it
comes with the force of that
Fitzsimmons liver Irregulator he
handed Corbett, or be overbur-
dened with real estate-for if
you get behind these sand hills
when the wind comes, as it has
done several times this winter,
you would be covered up in ten
minutes.
Cottage renting thus far has
been slow, but the outlook for
Improvement is said to be en-
couraging. l hear that Mr.. J G.
Williams, of Edenton, has rented
the Wood cottage oh Ocean Av-
enue. Mrs. Bette Winston will
occupy her cottage on Ocean
Avenue and will be down early
i'll June.
Messrs. c. w. and F. M. Grice,
the proprietors of the Mays Head
Hotel, will be down in a few
days to put call bells, electric
lights, elevators, &C., III good
order for the big crowd they ex-
pect this summer.
Nearly every family on Mays
Head have had the gripp this
year, but the warm weather has
brought them out and all hands
are Oh the lookout for soft>crabs;
a few have been caught
1t has been very dull at the
Hotel this winter. Very few
guests thus far. General de Bill
lily has been with me since the
summer, and l think he is des-
tined to be my companion

cottage ON Chowan Avenue for
sale. Quite nice place, but a
four room house is not large
enough for friend J. Messrs. w.
d. Rea and P. L. Rea, who have
comfortable cottages on same
Avenue, will be down the conn
ing summer. I hear Mr.. NJ. F.
Bond with family will go North.
Fish are becoming plentiful;
croakers, spot and trout, and
about the Ist Of July will be our
best fishing.
Progressive Eucre and Five
O'clock Teas are all the go down
here now.
We have had no wrecks thus
far this year, but we are all a
church going people and believe
what we have been promised:
"Ask and it Shall be given unto
you"

occupy too much OF your valu-
able space this issue, III back
