Regular Officers in Charge.

The handling Of the camp for the rifle
men-and, in fact of the range-this year
has been entirely in the hands of officers
from the regular army. As soon as a
team arrives on the ground the team
quartermaster reports the arrival 10 the
post quartermaster.
He also makes out requisition for the
supplies that are needed, and these are
issued as promptly as possible In less
than two hours after their arrival most OF
the teams are fairly comfortable.
The officers of the tournament are Col.
r. II. Evans. 18th United States Infan-
try, executive officer; Capt. William III.
tant; Capt. Preston Brown. statistical OFF,
GER; Albert s. Jones of Washington,
financial officer. @
A fine, big concrete mess hall has been
built on the ground since last fall. There

A section of the big dining room is par
titioned Oh. The guest walks i'm the rear
of the screened partition and helps himself
to a knife, fork. spoon and tray. Then
he gives his order to the cook. who carves
and dessert. and walks along to the end
of the screened partition. There he is
confronted by the cashier. and to him
he pays the amount of his bill.
Under the new system here of con-
Quoting the various competitions. the
starting of several big matches on one
day and continuing them two or three
days, makes it unsatisfactory. Different
stages of the matches may be shot on
one day, but until the match shall have
been completed the result is as uncertain
as though no stage had been contested.
The disadvantage of having number
of the big matches all going at one time
is evident when II comes to the statistical
work Because OF the immense size of the
range IL Is practically impossible to OBJ
tain any definite results until all score
cards have been turned in. the statistical
officers have had an opportunity to fig-
ure out the scores and the bulletin is
made.
