Fire. Troop Leads in Shooting.
There is every reason for the mem
bers of the First Troop Cavalry to
feel proud of the record made by that
organization in rife practice at Sea
Girt last year, as the report issued re-
Gently shows that the Workmanship of
the troop is highly ~commendable. Be-
sides surprising the creditable record
made during the year 1911, the troop
made a better showing last year than
it has since 1904, when it attained a
figure of merit of 1872. The figure of
merit for last season is 1925. This
is the rating system as worked out
under the new system which went into
effect last year, but if worked out ac-
cording to the system in vogue in pre-
vious to last year, would make the
figure of merit for last year 1915. The
troop won the first prize, the National
Defense Trophy, and has the honor Of
leading every other organization in
the State Militia. This trophy is dis
played in the armory in Newark,
where the members hope to re-
tain it for many years. The record of
the troop for the number of men to
qualify in the expert class vas also
broken, % members qualifying. Be-
sides there were 6 who qualified as
sharpshooters and 50 as marksmen.
