Although the war department has decided 70 hold the national rifle

Although the war department has decided 70 hold the national rifle matches this year at Jacksonville, af- ter having decleired the event off ear Her in the season, Rhode Island will not send a team. Preparations were begun early in the target season to select a team and the conditions were published, but when the matches were declared off nothing more was done in that line and the question of a state team was abandoned. The rifle shooting season of the Rhode Island National Guardo closed September Is and the range wass -disrnantled. To at tempt to select a team now would mean a lot of trouble and expense and with no prospect of securing a satisfactory team. There has been no training for a team and besides sev- eral of the states best shots have been at the Mexican border during the greater part of the rifle shooting season.

STONINGTON
SpecuIating as to Future of Damaged Steamboat Wharf Property-Tierney Cadets Membership Increasing.

There are residents of Stonington borough who are firmly of the belief that the old steamboat wharf property Is to be utilized for business purposes of a maritime nature. The old freight house was scorched by fire a week ago and orders came for the razing rather than the repairing of the freight house Then followed orders to leave the property just as it is, as it was to be taken over by other interests, perhaps by the Charles w. Morse syndicate as a steamship terminal or as drydock in connection with the Morse shipbuildine plant at Noank.

 A delegation from Stonington went to Providence Sunday and witnessed the big parade of the Holy Name so- cieties of Rhode Island. They declared 1t to be the biggest body of marching fnen of 9 single denomination ever held in New England, outside the city llf Boston.

 Coleman declared that his home was in Cohoes. N. Y, three miles fsom Troy, where he has sister, two brothers and two stepLbrothers. His mother died when he was quite young and his father died about five years ago. He said that he went to school for a short time after his mothers death and was then put to work in a milh but was not allowed to worK there long, as he was under fourteelp. He remained in Cohoes, three or four years thereafter and then started out to see the world, and for the past four years had been working off and on in the chain of Knight mills, which brought him to White Rock several Glmes. He said:
 Just as soon as I get any money I drink it up. Occasionally I realize my condition and about make up my mind to reform, when I get hold of money and up it goes in drink. The scar you see OIL uly upper llp SOl when I fell against a rail in getting off a freight car.

 "It may be the best thing that be done for me to send me to the state institution, where I will get | clothes, a bed and feed" he said, ''but, Judge, I'd rather have you let me go and give me chance to get work, and keep my freedom.

There is growing sentiment among the organizations composing the Rhode Island State FIremen's League to return to the old custom of having the annual muster on La bor Day. and to hold it in Providence, and no more at the Kingston far grounds, as there is dissatisfaction with the method employed at the re- cent muster at Kingston. Accorqlng to the decision of the judges. the Fire King, of Pawtuxet, was the only ma chine that played stream on ~the measured platform ard was given the first prize of $50 on a play of l54 feet 10 3-4 inches. The remaining $50 of prize money was divided equally among the other seven en- zines that competed, each receiving $21.43. As a matter of fact the Wes- terly Veteran F'iremen's association, Star, should have received the second prize of $100 as it was the only other engine to have the stream measured. The Star threw water eight inches on the paper, giving an apparent play of 150 feet and eight inches, but a take-off of three feet and five and a quarter inches at the nozzle cut that record to 147 feet ? 3-4 inches, and the judges ruled that the Star had not played the requisite number Of feet and so should drop back in the "also ran' class.
 According to the records of the New England States Firemen's League and the Rhode Island State League and several open tournaments, l it has been customary to allow every engine a mark, F, whenever possible.
 The league rulea however, provide that only the water that actually drops on the. paper on the measur- ing platform shall be measured, and that the net play shall be computed by adding or subtracting any draw back or overlap there may be at the pipe. The league rules call for 150 feet between pipe platform and the paper, and the custom has always been to allow a mark to every ma chine that succeeded in getting a drop of water on the paper, even though the talIe-off might reduce the play below the 150 mark.
