ILLINOIS ON THE
TARGET RANGE
5ATTLEsHIP PROCEEDED OUT
YESTERDAY FOR HER AN
NUAL TARGET PRAc-
TIcE.

The battleship Illinois. one of the
finest ships Of the fleet, proceeded out
to the target range yesterday morning
to engage in her annual target prac-
tice. Owing to the exceedingly rough
weather, however, it is hardly probable
that she began firing during the day
When the Kearsarge and Illinois re-
turn to port other vessels of the fee
will go out.
All of the SHIPS of the Sect have
moved further up the harbor, and are
now anchored much further towards
the east than heretofore. In fact the
vessels are practically in the same
positions that they occupied on tneir
visit last year, and form pretty sight
as much palmer view can be obtain
ed of them, owing to the fact that but
few ships are anchored in that portion
OF the harbor.
Marine guards have been detailed
on Palafox wharf by Admiral Evans
and each day they will herefter patro
the wharf and keep order among the
bluejackets. This was done last yeal
with good effect.
