Camp Notes.
Through the efforts of Capt George TAFT
several Of the western states have affiliated
with the National Rifle Association Of
America.
The management of the range has con-
structed seats for spectators along the fir
ing line. which is proving more satisfactory
than the camp stools.
The District boys build camp fire every
night in front of Maj Henderson's tent.
1t is the objective point of rifiemen these
chilly evenings. They are always welcomed
by the District men.
Each company street is designated with a
neat sign Of the name of the state team.
The Washington state team adjoins the
street occupied by the District of Columbia,
being rather a coincident.
The absence of Hal LeiZear Maurice Ap-
pleby and Maj Harvey is noticeable at the
present meeting at Camp Perry.
Sergts Groome and Bischoff by reason Of
their good scores in the first stage of the
favor with the walters in the mess hall
these days.
Through the courtesy of the Hospital
Corps from Washington. D. c.. the District
camp is provided with filtered water from
the syphon filter which the corps Is ex-
perimenting with.
There Is never any fear Of lack Of medi-
cal attention In camp. There are three
physicians. Drs. Reichelderfer. Henderson
and Young.
Ifs" and lands" are plentiful these DAYS.
especially after big match.
Lieut.. George w. England, formerly Of
the District National Guard. has arrived at
the range. He will act as range officer
during the national matches. He was
warmly received on his arrival by the Dis
trict boys.
The Ohio National Guard. which is en-
camped on the grounds. gives band con-
cert every evening. which can be plainly
heard in the District camp. When the
band stops a phonograph in one Of the
company streets starts up.
Sergt. Bischoff was for several years
connected with the District Naval Bat
talon. His experiences on cruises perforat-
ing floating targets has evidently had some
good effect on him. H r.
