System Of Marking,

Inc CANADIAN system or marking targets
was put into practical use in the interstate
regimental match yesterday, and proved a
very satisfactory way of announcing the
shots. The new system has been in use
during practice matches, but yesterday was
the first competition in which it has been
used. Owing to the lack of experience of
the markers in the pits, for the past several
days considerable time was lost in exhibit
ing the results of the shots from the firing
line, but with the employment of additional
help in the pits the system has been greatly
improved and the faulty points overcome.
The new system consists of dummy tar
get. worked In the same manner as the tar
gets at the Ordway range. On the left side
of each target are placed two marking disks
on pivots One side contains the black CEN
ter, with the value of two; black cross with
white background. g. on one target, and on
the other target red center, indicating 4,
and white center. indicating 8. AS soon
shot is fired the target is pulled, and
its value indicated on the small disks. In
the meantime the target has been pasted
and placed in position. ready for another
shot.
District Boys Shoot
After the New York marine corps, navy
and Pennsylvania teams had finished scor-
ing at the 50O-yard targets the District men
prepared to battle for honors at the long
range. The LIST Regiment team in this
stage of the game defeated the team from
the I'd Regiment. finishing with an aggre-
gate total of 276. winning by six points.
AS the contest narrowed down the interest
and excitement of the spectators was
plainly visible. The team from Massachu-
sets. which finished first in the 2OO-yard
stage. was the last team to take its place
at the long range. From the time the LIST
Regiment from the District finished with
such lead over the team from the I'd
until the last shot had been fired by the
Massachusetts 1t was one long suspense
The big gain of the District boys placed
them in the winning class, and to this end
all eyes were turned. to be in readiness to
cheer them.
Cooks excellent score Of 40 at 200 yards,
which he made in the morning was shared
in by Lieut.. Holcomb of the United States
marine corps, who scored ten consecutive
bull s-eyes at the 5O0-yard range in the
same match He was the only Competitor
to score a possible throughout the match.
When he arose from his position on the
firing line he received congratulations
from spectators who had been watching
his work with the rifle. Lieut. Holcomb
was a member Of the team which repre-
sented this country last year in the Palma
trophy match, which took place in Canada.
Scores Of District Teams.
The individual scores of the District
teams In the interstate match, which was

District rinemen have the reputation of be-
ing the best skirmishers who ever partici-
pated in matches OF this character on the
Sea Girt range, and they will again at
tempt to demonstrate their ability as ex-
pert shots with the rifle.
The match is open to teams of six men
from the regimental. battalion and sepe-
rate company organizations of the organ
lied militia and Naval Reserve OF the
states and the United States army. navy

great dominions in Africa and Asia, and even in
Europe.
OF course everything that is calculated to in
to establish herself as the protector of Arabia,
viii meet with strenuous opposition on her part.
Her Foreign Minister, Lord Lansdowne, an
nounced the other day in Parliament that
under no circumstances would England
permit any other power than herself to
absh fortified naval stations or military
strongholds on the shores of the Persian Gulf,
either on Persian, Arabian or Turkish territory,
and for the same reason she is obstructing the
construction of the railroad which is to connect
the Mediterranean with port the Persian
Gulf. The utility of this railroad indeed is not
very apparent, and it is doubtful whether from
economic point of view it could ever be rem
dered remunerative unless constructed in con-
nection with the restoration of the ancient irri-
gator. works of Chaldea, which in olden times
rendered the valley of the TigrIs the most fer
tile and the richest spot in the world. In fact
the entire country known in olden times as
Chaldea is interSected with hundreds of canals,
many of them cut through rock, and which if
repaired might in conjunction with a railroad
render the valley of the Tigris and of the Eu-
pirates second Egypt But England will be no
party to the revival of the prosperity of Chaldea,
to the construction of the railroad to the Persian
Gulf or to the repair of the irrigation works In
the valley of the Tigris until she has secured
control of Arabia and is able to undertake the
works in question on her own account.

FLOWERS FOR PRESIDENT.
Hoo CGniUal Idea Is UOrked Ont
on the Pacific Coast.

In his visit to the Pacific Coast President
Roosevelt has received form of welcome
which he viii not soon forget. The people #
some of the California cities where he was the
guest Of honor apparently endeavored to bury
him with flowers judging from the way in
which he treated. They also gave him an
exhibition of floral beauty in the festas which
were arranged that has probably never been
equalled in this or any other country. As the
name indicates the fiesta is sort of carnival
which originated among the Mexicans and
Slaniards. 1t has been taken up by the Cal
fornians, and the wealth of buds and blossoms
which Southern California especially produce
has been used in lavish decorations. The carni>
val held at Los Angeles during the Presidents
visit to that city was an example of what cou
be accomplished in floral adornment. Not only
were arches erected in various parts of the city,
but vehicles of all kinds. and even the steeds
ridden by the Presidents mounted escorts were
partly covered with blossoms. while the stand
from which he reviewed the procession was so
covered that he seemed to be literally buried UP
to his neck. Nearly ten thousand carnations
alone were used to decorate this stand.
Probably nowhere in the world has the weav-
ing of flowers and foliage into various designs
become such a fine art the Pacific Coast
and naturally the women are experts at it. The
displays made at Los Angeles as well as Other
cities largely due to the efforts of com
mittees of women, who with scores of assist
ants devoted themselves to the work When one
of these towns in the flower belt decides to don
its most attractive attire the first thing done is
to drape the fronts of the buildings in bunting
and flags, although frequently immense festo9na
of green are added.
The street decorations list of floral arches.
of which three four usually erected at
corners and other conspicuous points. First a
wooden framework is put up This is covered
with natural groundwork, upon which is fast
ened the various designs. Sometimes the back
ground is a mass of flowers of one or two varIe-
ties which be inserted so closely together
that the arch appears composed entirely OF
them. The groundwork is then relieved by i'm
