FIGHT WITH SILH0UETTES
Theoretical Field Fire Problem
Worked Out with Full Regi-
ment in Attack Line.
tBy Telegraph TO The Tribun, J

Camp Fielder. Sea Grit. y. j.. Aug IA
storm which threatened TO turn into one
of the Atlantic Coast famous nor'easters
struck Sea Grit tonight. The national
guardsmen. after a hard days work,
contented themselves with staying under
shelter Of the canvas and amused them
selves as best they could.
This morning the entire regiment, repre-
senting an army proceeded against a
theoretical army Of 10000 men intrcnched
in the rifle pits Under command Of
majors, each battalion advanced against
the silhouette figures which were raised
from the pits. The disappearance OF a
row of figures denoted the effectiveness OF
the guardsmen's fire and they were per-
mitted tc proceed fifty yards. When they
remained stationary for a given time ii
showed that the silhouettes had not been
killed by the bullets and the soldiers were
forced to retire a given distance.
The theoretical field fire problem was
worked out by every regiment IN camp
this year. but the 4th Regiments problem
was far more complete than that Of the
two preceding regiments. from the fact
that the entire regiment participated in
the movement. while before only picked
company Of sixty men was permitted TO
play in the game. Each man was given
thirty rounds Of ammunition and the fir
ing the smoke and the victorious cries Of
the soldiers as they advanced against the
"enemy" was like a real battle
The regiment was reviewed this after
noon by Governor Fielder and his staff.
II was the first review of the year for
the ith Regiment and Governor Fielder
expressed his admiration for the appear
ance Of the men Of his home regiment.
Major William G. Higgins until Satur-
day captain of Company G, was presented
with a loving cup this afternoon by the
members Of his old company. Major Hig-
gins, in accepting the cup, said he would
never forget the associations with the
men of Company and that he was more
than proud of the fact that he had made
them the finest shooting company in the
world
The 4th Regiment will break camp
shortly after noon and leave for Jersey
City at o'clock. Two hours later the
q Regiment. from Trenton, will arrive ana
pitch tents in preparation for week Of
military training.
