RIFLE RANGE SEA GRIT, N. j., August
29.-The national team match, in which the
District of Columbia detachment of rifle
men Is most deeply concerned, started this
morning and general interest is centered in
the work of the rflemen. At the conclusion of
the firing at 200 yards slow fire the District
was in seventh place. There are thirty
seven teams competing. New York, which
won the match the two years 1t has been
held, jumped to the front at the start this
morning, and at the end of the 200 yards
stage has lead over the next team, Maine,
Of two points.
The match will not close before Friday
night. Gen. Harries, commanding the Dis
trict Of Columbia militia, arrived here this
morning in time to personally observe the
work of his team in the opening stage of
the big competition. He will remain in camp
for several days and will attend the an
nual meeting of the National Rifle Asso-
citation of America. of which he is one of
the vice presidents, next Thursday evening.
The totals of the tirst-named teams at 200
yards were: New York J12; Maine 80;
New Jersey, 500; Ohio. 500; United States
infantry. 5o4; United States Marine Corps,
ooI; District of Columbia, 4G!: United
States navy, 494, and United States cavalry,
ass.
Lack of practice in skirmish work proved
the undOing of the ritiemen from the Dis
trict of Columbia in the national individual
match, which completed last night
However, the members of the District
team gained valuable experience for the
national team match by participating in the
individual contest, so they do not feel at
all badly by reason of the fact that none
of them captured a prize. Several of the
Neutrality-suspicious. who maintained positions
well up among the leaders through slow
and rapid-fire stages, took decided drop
after the skirmish runs had been made.
Furthermore, the majority of competitors
from the District withdrew from the match
after the skirmish. These included Lieut..
Col Reichelderfer. who one Of the top
notchers in the slow and rapid fire Trouble
with his eyes was the reason for the voun-
tary retirement of Reichelderfer.
The national capital was not the only suf-
ferer from the skirmisiI runs. Capt Cor
win of New York, who led in the match up
to the skirmish stage, then dropped from
first to eighteenth place. Private Durward
of Massachusetts, on the other hand, jump
ed from very low place the list to the
top and walked away with first prize by
reason of excellent skirmishing. The Dis
trict men who finished did not do at all
poorly, taking into consideration the size
of the field of more than 600 competitors
First Sergt. C.. E. Groome, landed in 3Sth
place, with total of 3S7: Private r. L.

Last week.
Nov. 23d was the date of the last
meeting of Grattan Grange and it
was truly Grange meeting in en-
thusiasm and fra .ernal spirit. With
the officers aud members at their
post a thoroughly interesting busi-
ness session was enjoyed. The class
of candidates was given the second
and third degree and after a short
recess the following program was
rendered:
Quotations by members.
Select reading-Roy futile.
Song-Choir.
Recitation-Glenn Smith.
Solo-Sarah Clemens.
Paper-Mansell Slayton.
Topic for discussion-Mr. jerks.
The above numbers were greatly
enjoyed and com biued in forming a
pleasant literary hour.
Word has been received from the
State Inspector of Drills that Graf
tan Grange degree team has been
chosen to give the first degree at the
State Grange in Grange in Grand
Rapids next month. There we're Ii
teams competing for the position of
giving this work and we have been
chosen as one of the four teams to
give the four degrees. We think we
feel safe in saying. in age we average
the youngest of any degree team in
the state competing for. Worthy
Master E. p. Nash gave us the as
sumed named, The Grattan Grange
Kid Team. Although organized but
few short weeks with Brother Keel
er at the helm, we realize a great
deal of work has been accomplished
and all are looking ahead to a pleas
ant session at the State Grange.
The state Inspector informs our
Grange that we have the largest
average attendance of any Grange in
the state. This surely speaks favor
| able for the interest and grand good
work that is being accomplished in
these meetings for they are more
| than social gatherings and we find
much help is realized in the educa-
tional avenues which parallel our
daily walks through life. The
Grange with its literary hour is a
school for the uplifting OF our young
people.
| A special meeting has been called
for Saturday evening of this week
for comforting the fourth degree on
the class of candidates. A general
lsupper will be served and good at
