a great deal OF interest has been man
ifested in the revolver match between
the experts of the National Guard, as

lice Force team. The best shots from

one well worth seeing. Ever since the
men were assigned places on the teams
they have practiced hard and faithfully.

result.
None OF the men have made high
scores in the practice thus far. but It

few records and establish some new fig

that their opponents have all the best of

conceded that no great advantage rests
with either team. The Guardsmen think
the policemen are doing their preIimi-
nary work under the most favorable CON
ditions.
Regular Practice Required.
The entire police force. numbering
over 600 men. who are all required to
90 through a certain amount OF pistol

number about dozen men. who. when

policemen Will use a smaller revolver
than the Guardsmen, which. while It does
not shoot as large a ball or make as
large a hole in the target. is regarded
as an advantage. The weapon. because
OF its Ightness, gives the guardians Of
the law a decided advantage over their
opponents. They also have an unlimited
amount Of ammunition The Major and
superintendent Of the police force and
bis lieutenants regard the match as an
official affair, and have therefore given
them an ample supply Of ammunition.
