Passing of Sandy Hook Proving
 Ground.

The booming of big army guns at Sandy Hook has been one of the great sensations for outlying residents of New York and those taking ship for foreign waters. The heavy ttud of supercharges in long, blue nosed en- zines of destruction was often re- quiem for the passengers of transat- lantic liners going down the bay at sunset. Frequerty bathers at the beaches of Coney Isand and along the Jersey shore would rise dripping from the salty sea to marvel at a sudden tremor of the water and rumbling roar. Often the question had been asked, Was it an earthquake?" and the answer would be, "No; it's the guns at the proving ground"
 An arm would be waved in the general direction of the long, low lying hook reaching out a protecting arm to ward dangers of war from the har- bor with it's thousands of ships stretching for north and the millions of people living in such compactness ! only little distance away, quite with l in reach of powerful naval gun from 1 the sea. Sandy Hook has been the pride of the city's martial defence for twenty five years since 1895. in fact when the first big 12-fnch guns were | SSl up lIlcTS WIln luStT 1cIlIOdS Otoetp- l bearing carriages.

 The gun testing is to be done here

 Sandy Hook does not offer long
 enough range for testing the gigantic guns now being turned out. Twelve inch guns were all that the Hooi
 could stand, and some of those, roar ing out their charges, seemed to shak, 1 the sands til they slid into the sea
 At the new reservation 1-inch guns and bigger as the army develops them
 can be fired with safety. The Govern

But on a day in April a party of newspaper men and officials was in- vited down to see. what had happened.
