are Il genial gentlemanly crowd that
can represent their city in good shape.

fired on the range and this will doubt
less be in the neighborhood of $4,000
when the company goes into camp. In
SpectOr Second Lieut.. w. |. Stirling

J of the boys are not far behind Lieut..

These men have been shooting som,
during the past year and their records
would indicate that they are fully
| capable of making some one go some
| to win out at camp.
And the baseball team must not be
