 made. The firing was done from 200 up to 1000 yards. and finally, just be- fore dusk. slxirmish firing was per- formed Capt. Sam c. Pelham being the coach.
 All who shot yesterday. visitors as well as members of the Montgomery companies said they admired the Cen tral Alabama rifle range. It Is 1,500 yards long and SO yards wide, with an actual range of 1000 yards. graduated to 200 yards. There are seven targets. Both the targets and the pits were in charge of Capt. George IT. Todd, Jr.. of Battery B. the Montgomery Field Artillery. and they were managed with skill and intelligence that greatly as- sisted the officers supervising the con- test. The members of the artillery are not participants in the contest, and the help of Captain Todd and his asso- ciates is of the greatest value. The manipulation of the targets Is in- teresting. They are huge discs placed upon elevators operated from the bot tom of the pits. so arranged that while one is being fired upon the targeteers- employing such a word for Captain Todd and his associates--may be pre- l pairing another to be raised upon the other end of the run of the lift. Upon the discs may be bulls eyes and rings, or silhouettes of figures. Each target is the silent and irrevocable score of | the contestant. E Protecting the men in. the pits is a huge embankment of earth nine feet | thick.
 The weapons used in the contests are | the modern Springfield rifles. They | are believed to be the most effective style of firearms known. Program for Today.
