'iio wen FORMED, with large head
black hair and eyes, and a command
ing presence. His tastes and habits
were simple and democratic in the hest
sense of the word.
An excellent portrait of the late
General Samuel d. Leavitt of East
port has been hung in the office of the
adJutant-general at the Capitol. Cen
eral Leavitt was Acknowledgement of
Maine in 1879, having been elected by
the Legislature of that year.
Ad1utant-General Farnham went to
Portland. yesterday, for the purpose of
inspecting the new rifle range which
the city has provided for the Use of the
National Guard of that city. 1t cost
$500.
The range has been constructed with
six targets. Four of these are for use
at the range of 200 yards md other two
| for 500 and 800 yards. The 200 yard
| targets are placed twenty feet apart
and are plainly numbered !, ., and 4.
1t will be easy for the shooters to keep
on the right target, if they keep in
| mind the number of the target they
| are aiming at, though as q matter CT
| fact it is said that there is rarely a
| match in which some man does not
lose Il point by making a bulls eye on
the wrong target, forgetting to take
notice of the number plainly displayed
The SOC and 600 yard targets are
| placed farther out in the same general
direction, 300 yards beyond the 20O
yard targets. When it is desired to
| shoot at soc yards the final point will
be moved back a hundred yards.
The targets are built in modern and
approved style with every safeguard
known. The stray bullets which miss
| the targets for any reason go out in the
| field beyond and bury themselves in the
hill at the rear. There is very little
| chance of an accident.
