CRACK SHOT OF THE ARMY
Richard N. Davidson of the Sixteenth
Infantry Holds the Record

Philadelphia Times: The theory that
q blue eye shoots best has been ex-
plOded. The champion marksman of
/ the United States army has a brown
/ eye. With these two brown eyes-he
/ shoots with both eyes open-he has
! beaten all shooting records at all dis
tances, in all positions and under all
circumstances.
The champion marksman is at Tam
pa. Fla, with the Sixteenth infantry.
His one bronze medal and his six gold
ones bear the name of Richard n. Dav-
idson. These medals testify that he is
the best shot in the whole United States
army. His comrades are proud of him
and are willing to pit him against the
world.
Davidson enlisted in 1886. In 1890 he
iwon a third-class department bronze
medal for craftsmanship. His comrades
guyed him. saying all his time would be
occupied in furnishing his medal,
whereupon Davidson replied that he
would win medal that would not need
furnishing.
And he did.
In 1891 he won the first gold medal in
the team belonging to the department
of the Platte. IN 1892 he again carried
off the first medal in the same de-
partment with score that has never
been beaten or even equalled since
InlS famous score was $50 points out of
possible SEQ Later, al Fort Sheridan.
Chicago, he captured the first-class
gold medal for moving target practice,
the object being at a distance of 500
yards and moving as fast as a man
moves in ordinary walking-three miles
an hour In 1898 he was awarded the
first distinguished marksman" gold
trophy the Buffalo medal. This is the
greatest honor possible to a marks
man in the army. His score was 621
points out of possible 800.
These prizes were all won with a
Springfield rifle. There has been no
contest since the new Krag-Jorgensen
rife was introduced in 1884 However.
Davidson is willing to try the new rifle
in contest with any marksman in the
United States.
This crack sharpshooter is also ia
nous as the most rapid marksman in
the army. In what is known as g half
saw back position in a skirnnish he
has fired an average of u shots in 30
seconds, while others could discharge
only seven in the same time While
making these rapid shots he holds his
gun in a peculiar position, which has
caused him to be known throughout the
army as "Gunsling Dick"
A remarkable fact in connection with
this wizard of the rifle by the way.
is that he has very weak eyes.

ODDITIES OF NAVY LIFE.
Some Things the Fresh-water Sailor Must Learn In the
Service.

Some of the fresh water" sailors of
the naval militia have had to learn a
good many things since they became
members of Uncle Sans war navy.
Their experiences have been those of
every civilian who enters the naval SER
vice in acquiring the real salty flavor
OF the sea. The moment he steps foot
on board ship he realizes that he is in
deed stranger in a strange land
He discovers that he must learn a
new language ana cut the tenor of his
future existence by a different meas
ure from that to which he has been
accustomed. The very first thing he
notices is that the cardinal points of
his home compass are lost to him. He
no longer goes upstairs, but or deck.
Fer downstairs he goes below; and in
stead of front and rear he finds that
in naval parlance they are fore and
at.
