FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1893 THESE WILL SHOOT, But It Will Be to Bring Back Trophies, THE DISTRICT BRIGADE RIFLE TEAM Will Start for Sea Girt, New Jersey, Tomorrow. GOOD RESULTS EXPECTED. Tomorrow morning there will be a large decrease in the number of sharpshooters in this city. The trouble will be caused by the exodus of the brigade and regimental rifle teams of the District National Guard. They are going over to Sea Girt, N. J., and are going to bring back with them just 5 many trophies as they can win by plug- ging more bull’s-eyes than do their oppo- nents. Three years ago this summer the brigade team from the District won the Hilton trophy at Creedmoor, the big Long Island range. This trophy of their prowess is more to be desired among crack shots than large jewels, and for the year that it be- longed to the local soldiery it stood in a Place of honor in the War, State and Navy Department building, and was the admired of all admirers, with its noble expanse of embossed bronze and silver. This year the boys are going to bring that trophy back er they will know some reason why. ‘There iz every reason to believe that they have a better chance of winning than they have had for several years, in fact since they did win it. In addition to the Hilton trophy the brigade team will shoot in the match for the almost equally to be de- fired National Rife Association Interstate Capt. W. L. C ‘The teams will be gone from here about @ week. During their stay at Sea Girt they will live under tents and lead a strict military life. ‘There will be no chance for any of the gayeties that the other soldiers who are now in camp at various places are enjoying, for the reason that a rifleman must be in ‘the very pink of condition in order to do himself justice. It will be no ease of “Rifleman, shoot me a fancy shot.” There will be few chances for individual records, for in matches like those on hand it all depends on team work. What doth it profit the team if one man scores all bulls’-eyes when the man that follows him makes just as many misses? While they are gone the whole detach- ment will be commanded by Maj. Geor H. Harries, the inspector general of rifie practice. About forty men in all are ex- ted to go, for in addition to the brigade Yeam there Will be a team from each regi. e ment, from the engineer corps and sixth’ battalion who will compete in the regimental matches, and there will be a large amount of surprise about headquar- ters if they do not bring back with them a reat many rewards of either team or in- lividual excellence. Capt. Jas. E. Bell. ‘The sixteen men, principals and alter- nates, who compose the brigade team are Corporal Morris Appleby, company B, third battalion; Capt, James E. Bell, inspector ritte practice, second regiment; Private Robert P. Carlton, company A, engineer corps; Capt. William L. Cash, inspector rifle ‘practice, first regiment; ‘Col.

All of the heats rowed yesterday Were finals, the preliminaries having been finished. Just before the opening heat the executive committee went Into session at the Detroit Boat. Club to consider the charges against Oarsmen Curran and Gray. The charges wete preferred by one McConville, a But- falo saloon keeper. Curran and Gray were called before the committee to state their side of the case. It is alleged that McCon- ville wagered $100 on the pair in the race at Hamilton.
