SHOOTING AT FIT. WILLIAMS.
Echoes Among the Numerous Islands
Caused By the Gums.

Although the weather was very uncer-
tain, the officers at Fort Williams decid-
ed yesterday to make an attempt to pro-
ceed with the trial of the big guns for
the Inspection of Lieut. Col. REILLY of
the ordnance department. The new po-
sition finders recently adopted by the
United States government were used to
get the position of the target, which was
stationed about $500 yards from the fort.
1t was floating target and drifted about
two miles an hour with the tide.
The first shot was fired from No. gun,
the finest gun mounted on the aefenses
around Portland It wen9 30 yards
short and 10 yards to the right of the tar
get, which was the worst shot fired.
Shot two was fired from No. gun and
went about I50 yards short and 20 yards
right. Shots three, four and five were
fired from No. and No. z guns They
were the most successful, every one
striking within the danger line of the
target and had vessel been IN the place
OF the target it's career would have been
finished.
Brown prismatic powder was used and
proved very satisfactory. In the target
practice held last summer the powder
used was affected by the dampness in
the powder magazine and part of 1t was
blown out Of the gun before it had time
to ignite but there were only four or five
very small pieces found after this prac-
tie.
The two new and expensive position
finders recently put up at Fort Williams
were not used as there was not enough
firing to warrant their use. With the
instruments now in use vessel can be
placed in few minutes and the orders
for firing the guns follow in rapid or
der, while with the old Instruments they
had to be set up about three miles apart
and, by the time they were IN position
and the guns aimed, ready for firing.
vessel would be in close range Of the
fort
With this trial and the one held with
the monitors at Fort PrebIe the defenses
in Portland harbor are proving them
selves to be all that can be expected of
them ana the city of Portland, alth ough
not the most important city in the Unit
ed States, is as well protected as any in
the country and almost as secure as the
chief cities of the world.
The next target practice to be held is
to take place at Stroudwater rifle range
with the rifles used by the United States
army. The boys win most likely camp
out for about a week as the practice viii
last about six or eight days and sham
battles may be in progress, which win
prove a very interesting spectacle for the
inhabitants Of Portland who desire to
have a realistic idea of battle.
