When the District Of Columbia rifiemen
returned to their street in camp after
breakfast this morning they were in time
to observe a heavy, dark cloud roll up
from the west with every indication that
a stormy day was ahead. There was q
sharp scurrying of men to tie the tents
ed imminent. In ten minutes 1t had all
passed over. leaving a dull leaden sky
with f1tful wind that made shooting con-
ditions difficult at 1000 yards. However.
the District rifemen took their places
facing the targets to which they had been
assigned, and with the other forty-three
teams began the work on the second day
Of the national team match shortly after
o'clock.
Conditions Exceptionally Poor.
When the fourth pair shot over the
1,O00-yard range this morning the con-
ditions were exceptionally poor, and the
scores made showed the effect Of what
the riflemen had to contend against. The
fourth pair OF Ohio men, who have shot
over the range continually all summer
and who should, therefore, be familiar
with all conditions. only made s. ndty-T Tne
two District Of Columbia men mace
seventy-seven points. The highest pair
had eighty-three, 1t being two men oil
the Massachusetts, team.

Capt Heidenreich had top score at both
ranges. having made Al out of a possible
50 points at 200 yards and - at 600
yards. In view of the fact that only
three possibles were made at 600 yards
out Of the $40 men who shot in the
match q score within one point of a pos
sible was splendid shooting.
Difficult Conditions Prevail.
Conditions under which the national
team match is being shot this year are
more dinicult than they were year ago.
