White, who is a farmer near this city, wc make the following extracts: I am in Philadelphia again tonight and am sure tired. We were out on the rifle range today and had an of ficial firing contest with 30-30 rifles. The targets arc out of sight and come up for 30 seconds. A bulls eye counts 5; the first circle 4; second cir cle 3; and so on down to nothing. In rapid filing I scoied 74 pointfi filing five shots laying down, five squatting, five kneeling, and five standing. All from the 200-yard lange and using the peep sights. At slow firing I scoied 92 points out of a possible 100. This was for mark manship, in which I qualified, and for which I have $1 per month added to my pay. Tlieio were only four of the eighty contestants who did better. This aftci noon, those who qualified in marksmanship tried out in shaip--hooting. I was the only ono making tin' requited scoic. At fiOO yards I ha I thiity seconds In which to fne ii c shots, then ninety seconds to run the -100-yaid lino set my sights and load. Fired fivo times squatting, Kin to the 300-yard lino nnd fired five times kneeling, lan to the 200-yard line and fired five times standing. I pot G8 points out of a possible 100 in this tost, nnd then scored 82 in twenty hhots fired from the 500-yard lino. I am supposed to get an additional raise of $5 for making good in tho sharpstootors class. i Some of tho fellows did not get their five shots out before tho target disappeared and of course lost. I signed to go over to Fiance as an interpreter of German. Somo of tho boys signed for French and somo for Italian. If I get this appointment it will probably pay a good salary. I am gun pointer on va 7-Inch gun now and when wo go to sea again I w ill try out for marksmanship with it.
