Plattsburg. n. Y, June 22.-The
rockies finished their practice instruc-
tion in the rife ranges to-day, and
slightly more than so per cent or them
qualified for record shooting. Army Of
Gcers considered the shooting one OF
the most remarkable exhibitions by
green civilian rifemen they had ever
seen. II meant that after four days
experience. out of $50 men, many OF
whom never pulled trigger before
more than 500 made scores OF oo rs
per cent Of the possible perfect score
These 500 will be allowed to spend
tho rest Of the week at the targets, and
will get a chance TO win honors as
marksmen, sharpshooters and experts
Those who did not qualify for this Will
spend the rest Of their week setting up
tents for the July camps. This was de-
cided on to-day when IL was seen that
the great impetus given TO recruiting
by the Mexican situation was going TO
make II impossible for the regulars to
get the tents up in time.
High Score, 2os; Low. ,.
In the four days shooting the highest
score was made By Lieutenant Thomas
L. Murray, Company b, from Marion,
Ohio. Out of a possible 225 points he
made 20s. The lowest score was that
OF Dr.. NJ. J. Murphy, Of Providence,
R. l., the camp fat man. He made a
score Of 2. After shooting four ranges
he quit, there being seven ranges in the
course.
ut is a waste Of ammunition for me
TO shoot any more" he said, laughing
at his own bad aim. The targets he
shot at we're at 200 and 800 yard ranges
and we're about by feet. In making
his score Of DR.. Murphy managed to
hit one target once.
His i'll success was attributed TO the
fact that the shooting was prone and
kneeling. His rotundity makes it i'm
possible TO assume these positions with
case. The perfect score for the four
ranges he shot would have been l25.
The second highest score was made
by Raymond Hertshorn, of Company c,
also an Ohiosn, from Perrysburg. The
remarkable feature Of his score was
that he had never shot a gun before.
! His success was due 10 his native sc-
curacy and steadiness and TO the few
days OF training he had here.

In connection with the parcel post
feature of the office there will be an
interesting display, consisting of var
ious receptacles which can be used to
advantage as containers for parcel
post shipments. Some of these arti-
cies have been invented recently and
have been the means of greatly facil-
itating shipments by "Uncle Sans
express" Among these articles are
containers for butter, eggs, meats,
liquids and other products.
All of these containers will be in
the display, as well as the names and
addresses of the companies from
which they can be secured in either
large or small quantities. Demon
STATIONS will be given as to the most
advantageous methods of packing ar
ticles and complete information will
be obtainable as to the articles that
may be shipped and how to ship
them.
