Revolver Club FIourishing.
The practice Of the Washington Revolver
Club is developing some fine scores. In the
contest at the 2O-yard distance, with ex-
tended arm, the shooting Is done with the
regulation 45-caliber army revolver, reduced
charges Of powder and round bullets consti-
tutng the ammunition. The recoil Is thus
considerably eliminated but it nevertheless
requires an excellent degree, of holding to
find the two-tnch bulrs-eye at the distance
given.
The following are the scores in the match
for the cash prizes: F. c. Healy, AZ: Lieut.
W. M. Farrow. 43; Lieut.. F. W. Holt, ~;
sergt A. Whitacre, ~; Maj. James E Bell,
