In the annual report of Gen. F. C.
Ainsworth, the military secretary, it
is stated that New Jersey with a total
strength of 4741 in the National
Guard had the following marksmen
qualified in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1905: 165 experts; 80
sharpshooters; 931 marksmen; $50
first class; 2S7 second class; $40
third class, and 2.O79 fourth class;
making a total of 2,662.
Target Practice.
In referring to the target practice
throughout the country General Aims
worth says: Reports received show
that there are 557 state and private
ranges generally having been con-
structed by companies at their home
stations and at their own expense.
During the calendar year 1904 many
old ranges were remodeled and 112
new ranges were built. Nearly $40,-
200 was expended from state appro-
..,+s.-. go, 4If- u,,rv,ouN E1a,Ta,
states have no permanent ranges of
any description, and only 20 states
have facilities for firing up to and in
Guiding 1000 yards. Thirty-seven
states have adopted special course
"C' as laid down in the firing regu-
lations for small arms, 1904. Only
is states report facilities for all or
CARNATIONS to practice, and part of
these at short ranges. There seems
to be a disposition on the part of the
authorities of some states to appro-
pirate funds for the proper carrying
on of small arms practice. To meet
these conditions appeal might be
made to congress for the purpose of
obtaining legislation whereby part of
the annual allotment provided by
section 1861 of the revised statutes,
as amended, could be used for the
construction and repair of ranges.
