Isbister, for he found large part of the station force on hand to say fare well to him, while the warmth of their good feeling for him was impressively expressed in the gift of handsome gold watch, Hamilton movement.
 The gift was one that came volun- tarily and unanimously from the en- tire force at the station, indicative of the general popularity that he had en- joyed with the railroad employees in the three years he had been with them. On behalf of the force, MT, Isbister presentd the watch with a few words that expressed their regret at having MT. Jewett leave, their appreciation of his kindly treatment while with them, their pleasure at the better position to which he was going and their best wishes for his future success.
 MT. Jewett, who has been appointed assistant superintendent with the Am erican Thermos Bottle company, was much affected. but made a brief but suitable response
 He was also presented a beautiful pair of gold cuff links by the three coal shoVeling contractors of Allyns Point-Andrew Jackson, Antone c. SOures and Frank Williams-for which he also expressed his sincere thanks.
 coincidence in connection with his retirement from the railroad company was that the day on which he checked up finally happened to be the twen- tieth anniversary of the day he first checked into service with tn railroad company.

FIFTH COMPANY MAKES
 HIT IN FINAL SHOT.
Range Was 61,oO Feet and Ten Inch
 Gun Was Used.

At a. III. Saturday morning the range and gun sections of the Fffth company were ordered to the ten-inCh gun at Battery Barlow, for the pur- pose of firing two trial shots. Battery Commander Captain William G. Tar box and the range station CtGcer, First Lieut. Charles R. Nichols, secnyed the necessary data, and First Sergeant c. A. Turner, as chief plOtter, had the field of operations all mapped out on the plotting board. There was some delay of a few hours owing to small sailing vessels passing through the line of fire, and as they have the right of way nothing could be done until the firing zane was clear. The first shot fired fell short 20 yards, as signaSled by the tug with the target, and after correcting range the second shot wenf 10 yards over, but if the target had been a modern battleship the shot would have struck it's deck and caused havoc It was therefore considered hit by the regular army officers. The range from the gum to the target was 6,100 feet.
 The company will report at the bat tery at ' a. m. Monday to fire two more shots with full service ammuni tion and good resudts are looked for.
