G. D. c., completed their tour of duty at
the target range Friday. June is. and will
he followed tomorrow by the 1st and ID
divisions of the Naval Battalion. The
1st Separate Battalion will complete the
organizations assigned to duty at the
target range and will report during the
last week in June.
While the attendance has not been as
large as expected. the results have been
most satisfactory due in great measure
to the thorough course in aiming and
sighting exercises inaugurated last win
ter in the rifle gallery, and continued at
the target range for the benefit OF such
men as have enlisted since the close of
the gallery season.
The 1st Separate Battalion is making
strenuous efforts to break all records for
attendance, and to further that end the
officers of the battalion have contributed
$40 TO be given as prizes to the men who
make the highest score in ordered prac-
tice, experts and marksmen excepted
This has resulted in an increase in the
attendance Mondays and Saturdays. on
which days the range is open for volun-
tary practice.
