EXCELLENT SHOWING

IN ORDWAY RIFLE MATCHES.
Regulations That Will Govern the Con-
tests-Range Officers Detailed-Dis-
tinguished Marksmen Announced.

The showing made by the National Guard
of the District of Columbia in the Sher-
man statue unwilling parade last Thursday
afternoon gratifying to headquarters
The occasion marked the first turnout of
the local brigade since the return from
camp. August l. last The only occurrence
that marred the general good effect was the
fact that one of the battery horses baked
while in front of the reviewing stand and
DELAYED the movement of the column for
few minutes. But the local battery must
depend upon unframed hired horses every
time 1t parades. and therefore such happen
ings as that last Thursday must be ex-
pected.
General Harries denies with emphasis
that he engaged in any sort of a contro-
versy with Lieut.. Col. Lauchheimer of the
United States Marine Corps while at Sea
Girt. N. j.. last month. 1t has been re-
ported that General HarrieS and Col.
Lauchheimer had rather spirited CONVEX
sation. based upon alleged improper con-
duct by the Marine Corps team during the
skirmish team match Not only does Gen.
HarrieS deny the report that there was frlc-
ton of any character. but he adds that his
relations with Col Lauchheimer have al
ways been of the most pleasant character
and that there are no indications that they
Will not continue to be as agreeable.
Marylanders Will Compete.
Information from Baltimore is to the eff
feet that Major Samuel ]. Fort. the brigade
inspector of small arms practice of the
Maryland National Guard, under instruc-
items from Gen. Lawrason Riggs. has Wis
tied the headquarters of the 4th Regiment.
and Capt. Bowie who is the prime mover
In rife practice matters in the 9TH Regi-
ment, and apprised them of invita- ton
from the National Rifle Association q the
District of Columbia to participate In the
coming tournament at the Ordway range.
The major saw Capt. Pennington. quarter
master. and Regimentai Adjutant Capt
Burck of the 4th. and told them that the
general wanted the 4th to Send team of
six men to compete in the open matches at
Ordway.
The same information was conveyed to
Capt Bowie of the 9Th, and Ma ior Fort
urged tie captains to use teams in the neld.
Major Bell of the District of Columbia
Guard is very anxious 10 have the Mary
anders present to participate in the
matches, and during the tournament at Sea
Girt he cordially invited Gen. Riggs to enter
teams from the Maryland Guard. ior
Fort says that both regiments will surely
send teams. and that they will enter the
skirmish match and the Mosher match.
The matches mentioned will both occur
Thursday. October %, so that the marks
men from Maryland need spend but one
day at Ordway.

be picked from the eight men who shot in

month They were Capt. Bowie. Sergts.
