Connally. Troop B, First battalion, and ].
r Martin. Troop A. First regiment.
There was much friendly rivalry dis
nlaved in the competition for these tempo
rary honors, and the Horse Guards Of At
lanta secured three Of the coveted posi-
tons the Liberty Guards and Georgia
Hussars one each. That no mistake was
made in the selection is evidenced by the
faithfulness with which the duties devolv
ing on these several gentlemen has been
performed.
Troop H, First regiment, and c and
D of the First battalion, were assigned
for duty in target shooting to-day. Capt.
Postell and Lieut.. Minis gave the men
their undivided attention, and some of
them having never before used the car
bine, profited considerably from the in
struction and suggestions rendered. In
Troop H the following qualified for the
2oo-yard range and shot therefrom: Lieut..
Thomas, Sergt C. w. Hopper, Corpl H. G.

cred that the range is rev to ALL and
quite a number were unaccustomed to
adjusting the sights and manipulating the
wind gauges it may be said that fairly
good average scores we're made.
