the best on Lake Erie is as good as the

realizing what lake vessels are and what

few-perhaps twenty-vessels on all the

quickly and cheaply as the best lake
steamers. No salt water steamers move
as much freight a given distance with as
small fuel consumption. There are many
boats on the lakes which can carry ten

There is no sidewheel steamer on the
coast and none in Europe. as far as we

shown that the yachts on the lakes are as

NEWS OF THE LOCAL
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN

The brigade rifle team of the National
Guard of the District of Columbia has
returned from Camp Perry. where it
competed in the army and National
Guard rifle matches.
Among the fifty competing teams in
| the national trophy match the local rep
representatives finished ninth--a record
of which the District guard officers are
very proud
Brig. Gen. George III. Harries expressed
himself yesterday as being very much
gratified with the showing made by the
team. The first four places in the match
went to the regular service teams.
Among the National Guard teams, OF
which there was one from nearly every
state. the local guardsmen took fifth
place.
The winnings by the service teams
was not unexpected. it is declared. be-
cause they have such wide fields from
which to draw recruits, and the members
being in the regular service. have no
limit of practice preliminary to the
matches. This gives them. ii is claimed.
