The Montgornery True Blues held . target practice yesterday afternoon at the new rife range near Pickett Springs in which the new Springfield rife was used for the first time in this State. The shooting was at distances of 200. se9 and soc yards and the scores MiAde Rwere excellent. Captain W F. wefss and R. E. Hunt practical . iy tied for first place.
 Especial interest attached to this practice because of the fact that it was the first demonstration in Alabama of the shooting qualities of the new arm. The members of the Blues expressed themselves as delighted with the easy manipulation and accurate fire possible with the rife. and say that 1t in every way surpAsses the old "Krag" formerly in service. In this connection it may De noted that the Blues were the first company in Alabama to drill with the new Springfield.
 There are several points of differ Jbnce in the Springfield and the Krag. but 1t is in the Eapidity and ease with which the former can be loaded that 1t exeells the old weapon. Whereas in the Krag, cartridges were inserted singly. in the Springfield they are ln- serted in clips of i've. an arrangement much more convenient. The bullet used In the Springfield is more point cd than that used In the Krag and possesses greater penetrative power.
 The sights of the Springfield are gauged up to 2.s00 yards as against 1000 yards in the case of the Krag and the extreme range of the new rife Is of course greater, being 4,227 yards or nearly two and one half miles. Tn every feature the Springfield Is supe- rior to the Krag.
 The object of the rife practices. of which that yestsrday was the initial one. Is to determine what members of the Blues will compete with picked men from other eompanIes of the State in the preliminary competitions for selec- ton of the Alabama represent atives in the national rife shoot which will be held during the summer Those mem bers of the company obtaining the
