sEE SEA GIRs =. NTEST.
The Skirmish Firi..->cores Not Yet
hHs.En


Sea Girt, n j., September 6.-There
was another large attendance at the
third days shooting on the Sea Girt
range.
The principal interest conferred in the
skirmiSh firing contest which was the
chief event OF the day. This brought
out strong rivalry between the Georgian
teams and the teams from the District
of Columbia.
The scores in this contest were to
count on the regimental n
trophy match. The scores that were
made today will not be made known
until tomorrow. There were ten teams
of sixty men each, near the 700 yards
line at unknown distances, and attacked
the silhouette targets. These targets
were in the shape of three figures, one
a man kneeling, the hitting or when
counted four; another standing, which
counted three, and the third prone,
which counted five. The men made
two runs, having twenty rounds each
to fire. They made five halts, going
forward and five in retreat. These evo-
buttons were done at bugle calls. The
targets We're so placed that he sun
shone brightly on them, often times
making it possible for the markSmen to
see at which to shoot. There were
twenty-four men in line, being two
yards apart, but they did not maintain
their line correctly. Upon arriving at
the 300 yards range they could not see
the targets, which was due to their not
keeping their distances. In many cases
the men in the rear ranks found them
selves opposed by the persons of those
in front. The scores will probably be
low owing to the bad light upon the
targets and the failure of the men to
keep their proper distances.
The corrected totals for the 200 and
500 yards stages Of the interstate reg
imental match were as follows: Sec
