NAVAL sHARPSHOOTERs.-Cnly about one
fifth of the enlisted men of the navy we're able
to engage in small arms target practice this season
The results have been gratifying far as they
went and the percentage Of skilled marksrnen'
sharpshooters and expert ri1emen is greater than
ever before The fact that the Atlantic fleet was
on the Pacific Coast. where there we're no facilities
for small arms firing excluded all Of those vessels
from entering their crewss in the contest II
is hoped that when the ships arrive on the Atantc
Coast it will be possible TO have small arms firing
on the range at Guantanamo following the h7aVy
gun practice which will take place on that station
There may not be time for this. however in view
