REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.

The revenue cutter service has adopted
designs for medals to be issued to officers
and men for proficiency in small-arm
target practice. The awarding of medals
Tor target practice was authorized by
Congress during the last session. Each
officer or man who attains 80 per cent or
more Of the highest possible score in the
marksman's course will be classified as a
marksman and will receive from the de-
partment a marksman's pin Each officer
or man who holds the qualification of
marksman and who qualities as sharp
shooter will receive a sharpshooter'
medal. An officer or man who holds a
sharpshooter's medal will receive a date
plate for each additional year in which
he qualities as a sharpshooter.
The department is carefully supervising
the systematic course of instruction in
small-arm target practice now followed
IN the revenue cutter service and stead
lily increasing efficiency in this work r.
being attained. Record practice is re-
CURED Of each vessel once in each period
of six months and the department pub
fishes to the service the names Of the
three vessels making the highest scores.
The issue of medals is expected to foster
an interest in target practice on the part
of officers and men.
