The Rhode Island National guards

ably efficient work has been done in the
sub calibre practice at the mortar bat
terry, especially at Battery Sedgwick,
where the local company is at work.
The men made fourteen hits out of
sixteen shots at a moving target, a
record which was highly praised by
Major Blake, commandant of the fort
at Dutch Island.
The record made at Battery Sedg-
wick was at $500 yards range, with
Capt. Bowden A. Babcock, assistant
battery oommandant. The work in the
mortar pits was under the direction of
Lieut.. Oliver r. Williams, assistant
emplacement officer
Some of the shooting was done dur
ing a severe thunder shower which
passed over Narragansett bay Thurs
day afternoon, and the high percentage
of hits made was all the more remark
able on account Of the weather condi-
tiens.
