The High School defeated the Royal
school in a football game at the base
ball grounds Friday. by score Of
20 to o. Robert King was captain OF
the winners and Richard Rice led the
losing eleven. There were no injuries.
The Royal boys were heavier, but had
no skill at the game to speak of and
declined to play the second half The
star play of the day was made by En-
Chang of the High School, who made a
run of 60 yards. The feature was the
perfect interference of the High School
team.

Collision Settlement.

There is no longer any question as to
where the fault lay in the recent col

Kaala, which resulted quite seriously
for the latter. The steamship COM

ON new TARGETS
Latest From America at
Kakaako Butts.
Placed by Sergt. Elvin--Figures Like
Soldlers-Much Better Scores
Can Now be Made.

A new target, SKA feet, has been
placed at Kakaako butts for the Sharp
shooters and the Military, this in the
shape of the upper half of a man in
position on the ground, the whole fig
ure taking two feet The target as
used by the United States Army has
the figure of the man at the bottom
but on account of the difference in faci-
lities here, Sergeant Elvin, who has
charge of the butts, was forced to place
the figure in the middle of the target
which, being six feet high, allows two
feet above and two below. On the tar
get as used by the United States Army
any shot striking the figure, counts 5
the spaces of either side, 4, the two
foot space in the middle, and the last
at the top, points. The change made
by Mr. Elvin gives the fiugre, 5; the
spaces to either side, 4 the two-foot
space below, and the two-foot space
above points. The target with the
figure at the lower part was found
impracticable on account of the fact
that the frame surrounding it was shot
to pieces as well as the sliding appar-
tus.
The Sharpshooters and Military men
are very much pleased with the new
target. OF course there is much more
chance for scoring SIS but then, to have
anything resembling a figure to shoot
Sharpshooters have already made sew
eral SOS for the target has been VI
since Saturday. Lieutenant Ross Of
Company G succeeded in making 49,.
Here is part of what recent num-
Der of Harper's Weekly has to say
about the new target:
I'm the Spring of the present year
as the result of the recommendation
of the Army Small-Arms Board, ra-
dical change was made by the adopt
ion of the silhouette target. The the.
DRY of this target is that the soldier
should be trained to shoot at a mark
such as the enemy would present. The
bulls eye, or, as it is now called, the
figure" in the 200-yard target, is
therefore the silhouette in black, on g
white ground, of a soldier lying down
head on" In the 50O-yard target, the
figure is kneeling; in the S00-yard
target, the figure is standing; and the
100-yard figure is that of a soldier on
horseback. The tendency of all troops
being to shoot high, an endeavor is
made in the new target to overcome
this tendency by placing the figure al
the bottom instead of in the centre.
1.-THE divisions regulating the value
of shots are entirely different, and the
area of the figure is much greater than
in the old bull's-eye.
''The effect on the scores of this
greater area in the central objective is
most apparent at 200 yards. At this
range the figure is compact and COM
paratively regular in shape, and the
element of chance enters less than in
the other targets, in which it is evil
dnt that a shot either close to the
arm-pit in the 500-yard or high up be-
tween the legs in the S00-yard, is clos
er to the centre and unquestionably
better than one which chance might
lodge in the elbow, or in the foot OF
the figure, but which counts for more
1t is at 200 yards, therefore, that ac-
curate holding is surest of counting"

they were soon made easy when Mr..
