To Judge from the record established dur
ing January 1t appears that far greater in
, terest is being taken by District National
. | Guardsmen generally in rifle practice than
| ever before since the organization Of the
brigade. The several teams engage in
the company, battalion and regimental
matches in the gallery with easerness and
| enthusiasm, and as a result several high
score records were broken. The command
ing general and the inspector general OF
rifle practice are very much gratified with
the condition of things and will do all IN
their power to keep alive the existing popu-
larity of this most important feature of the
training of soldier.
, AS heretofore announced. a special com
petition IS to be held at the close OF the
, present season of indoor practice, the par
Elephants to be those guardsmen who make
| the high scores in each of the ordered
matches in the gallery each month. Attrac-
| tive and valuable prizes will be the reward
| Of the successful competitors.
