Numerous stories Of crack shooting
in the civil war have been handed
down, but quite as often as otherwise
what passes for special shot is sim
ply a chance out Of dozens. 1t Is said
that General Sherman himself fired the
eral Leonidas Polk on Lost mountain,
In front Of Atlanta, in 1864. Several
shots were fired from certain Federal
battery in Shermans command at
group Of Confederate officers who were
boldly accommodating the slope Of the
mountain, exposed TO fire. Polk was
the chief Of the party and was instant
ly killed. Perhaps the shot was aimed
at him especially. At the battle Of An
tietam, in 1862, Captain Millers bat
terry of Washington artillery Confed
erate) and Captain Weeds United
States battery both tried TO do some
crack shooting OF the kind on the same
narrow field Miller's guns fired at a
group of Federal officers which includ-
ed General Mcclellan, but none Of the
party was touched.
If General Polk was the victim Of a
cannon shot especially aimed at him.
II was the only conspicuous instance of
the kind in the whole war. Rifle bul-
let's brought down some great men in
the war, notably Reynolds. at Gettys
burg; Mcpherson, at Atlanta; Sedg
wick, at Spottsylvania; Stonewall
jackson, at Charlottesville. and AL
bert Sidney Johnston, at Shiloh. Reyn
olds, Mcpherson and Sedgwick prob
ably fell under the aim Of sharpshoot-
ers who recognized their game, but
the others were mere chance shots.

The long range naval and seacoast
guns are counted upon to do wonders
In the way Of accurate shooting, but
up to the present results have not been
marvellous. At Santiago the Ameri-
can ships ran close in to the Spanlards
10 use them up. and the telling shots
Of destruction were fired at or under
1000 yards. When the Brooklyn and
Oregon were chasing the Colon, the
Oregon landed a 13 inch shell Just
ahead of the Spaniard and another at
about the same distance In her wake.
Then the Spaniard struck her colors,
for the sharpshooting Americans were
gaining in the race, and It was only
question OF time when one of the 1000
pound missiles might blow the Colon
out Of the water. These two shots
were made at over 1900 yards range.
The English are careful Of their naval
gunnery and are at present boasting Of
q feat at 1000 yards range, about
which there can be no mistake. The
target was floating and was u feet
square. The time allowed was two
minutes, and out OF l3 shots fired the
gunner landed IL on the target. At the
time Of firing the steamer carrying the
