First Regiment.
Second Regiment.

In the interim between now AID May Is
when the ordway range will ,pen, the
rifiemen of the District militia who have
made records of over 90 per cent in their
indoor practice will turn their attention
to preparation for the match for the Burk-
hardt medal to be held on the evening oil
May IA.
Capt Thomas F. King is busy ascer-
tanning what men have scored over 80
per cent, a task rendered difficult because
of the fact that all of the records of the
january practice were destroyed in the
fire at the Center Market Armory during
that month.
There will be many more entries this
year than there were last In consequence
the contest will be especially spirited.
Lieut. w NJ. Farrow, inspector of rife
practice of the Fourth Battalion, won the
Burkhardt medal last year.
May Go to Canada.
Colonel May is much in earnest about
sending a team representing the First Reg
iment to compete in the big shooting
tournament to be held in Canada during
the coming summer. This will prove an
inducement for First Regiment rifcmen,
and will incidentally bring the standard of
craftsmanship in that command up to a
higher standard.
Attention will be turned to the seIec-
tion OF a site for the annual cncampment
and other matters connected with that
event as soon as the appropriation for the
maintenance Of the National Guard during
the ensuing fiscal year is available. AS
stated heretofore, the encampment will be
held at some point near Leesburg, Va,
possibly on the site occupied last year.
Company commanders are in hustle OF
preparation for the annual inspection and
muster, which will occupy all of next
week Indications are that ii will find
the guard in a higher state of efficiency
than ever before.
