through the several ranges with a
rush. So expeditions was the work
that all the team matches of the in
terstate shoot, save that for the De
Renne trophy, We're concluded. 1t had
been feared that this could not be ac-
complished, but the Improvement in
the weather permitted it.
The matches concluded were the
company team match, the cavalry
carbine match, the visitors regimental
match and the interstate regimental
match. The DeRenne trophy match
will be finished to-day, the Georgia
team having yet to shoot.
Guards Showed Up Well.

vannah Cadets were second, with COZ,

Hussnrs Were winners.
In the cavalry carbine match the
first prize was won by the first team
of the Georgia Hussars, 465. The Lib
erty Independent Troop was second,
with 42S, and the second team of the
Georgia Hussars third, with 1882. Tho
prize for third place, however, reverts
TO the Effingham Hussars, as the Geor-
gia Hussars wanted to avoid a pro-
test. This grew out of an extra man
having been allowed to run the skir-
mish on the second team, when one
of its members did not show up.

the first prize was won by the Sa-

South Carolina won the visitors reg
mental match. Good shooting was
shown at the 200 yards range, and
there are some marksmen among the
South Carolinians who would show up
well in 200 yards contests against the
Sayannahians.
The De Renne match is led by South
Carolina. The trophy is now held by
the Guards, and it is not thought it
win go out of Georgia.
