1U inauguration. This Interest wai
not oonGnod to private markemon.
The National Guard of the skatoof
Naw York at onoo began a regular
pwotloe , rellavod by individual , com
pany and raglmunt contoatn , which are
still oontiuned , and other elates , not
ably Now Jereoy , constructed ranges
and instituted regular target practice
among their militia. The lack
of skill shown by the beginners
proved the necessity for the work
If anorgonliad cltlzon oldiery conld
be expected to do effective firing in an
aotlvo campaign. Drills and the man
ual of arms might nerve for a parade ,
bat it was found that nothing bnt
actual firing at battle distance could
teach the men the use of their plecea
and fit them for doing and economical
aerrloo on the field. The oucceaa of
Oreodmoor first turned the attention
of our regular army oflhora to the deficiency
ficioncy which existed among the
troopn in rifle firing , nud a contest for
teams from the military divisions
was accordingly instituted at that
range in competition with the
atate militia. In April , 1880 ,
Colonel Liidloy issued his manual of
target practice for army teams. Up
to this tlmo arm/ contests hud boon
held at Oroodmoor , bnt in 1831 Gen
eral Sherman issued a gonornl orfhr
mapping out a regular drill in target
practice for the entire army , proscrib
ing the conditions under which it
should bo exorcised and instituting
competitive contests.
In 1882
1882TIM
TIM rHEHBST STSTEU
of rlfla praottoo w&a adopted Under
its provisions regular target practice U
enforced on all aoldiera daring cer
tain ( period of the year at every
post under the Inspection of com
missioned oflioara. There are three
grades of competition , vie : Depart
ment , Division and Army. In all
these competition ! ! the dlatanosa nto
200 yards , position , standing ; -300
yards , kneeling , and GOO yards , ly
ing. Trrolva omkaiacn constitute
the department team. Of thesa , to
that mtrksmin nuking the best
score , a gold modal is awarded. At
the Division competition the several
department teams of twelve compete
for places on the division team , which
also connirts df twelve men. The lit
prise is a gold uibdal , the next ttroa
also gold modala , while the
remaining eight sro awarded ollror
medals. Every alternate year , begin
ning with 1882 , twelve of tha beat ;
shots from the entire army compote
for the army pr'zjs ' , which consist of
throe gold and throe silver medsla.
The competition for the department
team takes place in Omaha in August ,
and later in the fall the dlvUlon match
will come off at Laaveuwortb.
To carry out this elaborate pro
gramme , much attention has been paid
during the last three years to the
building of suitable ranges in the
various departments , and a gre t deal
of experimenting has been done to se
cure the best results for the lout ex
penditure of money. The construc
tion of the now rlfla range for the de
partment of the Platte has been under
charge of Otptain Ooolldge , Seventh
Infantry , inspector of rifle practice for
the department , and on Wednesday a
representative of THE , BBB accepted
an invitation to inspect the completed
work and witness the practice of the
nen at the various firing point * . The
party which climbed In the governmant
ambulance at the headquarters constat
ed of tha aforaaald BEB man , Oaptatn
Ooolldge , Lieut. Gay Howard , Dr. J.
B. Latt and Major Dennis , an old
Oreodmoor shot and medallist , formerly
of the t New York
ly Twenty-fin regi
ment , and now of Omaha.
Passing np Sixteenth street , over
ruts and hole * and narrowly escaping
disaster from collision with tha ex
posed water pipe on Sherman avenue ,
wo turn Inta the county road by Sara
toga school housoj and after a rldo of
a few minutes duo west strlko the
now
RLTLK EANQH
of the department ot the Platte. The
grounds , which were secured after
considerable difficulty , Ho due south
.of Fort Omaha on the road loading
from the barracks to the city. At
laid oat the range is ISO feat
wide and abant 00 yards long. It
trends slightly north of west and from
tha osat end to the butts rlsoa some
thirty feat. The grounds are carcf ally
and conveniently laid out , Adjoin
ing the road Is a ueat stand for the
use of spectators during the rifle con
tests , roofed and provided with ecata ,
and commanding a fall view of th-i entire
tire field , To the right and front a
email bnt convenient range officer's
bouse la in process of construction
which will be occupied by the official
floorers and connected by telephone
with the markers at the butts. Tae
range looks bright and fresh lu 1U
dross of green , which contrails well
with the adjoining lands. An ambu-
Itnco stands in the road and groups of
soldiers , with their rlflos on their
shoulders RIO sauntering towards the
short distance positions.
Mijor Dannls , with his Remington
rlfla In hand , puts on his planes and
oqnlnts along the field. "A prott ?
good range , " ho Bays approvingly , "if
it only faced to the north. Thou thu
sun wouldn't bother you. " Oiptttn
Ooolidgo explains that as praotloa la
only taken in the morning , the sun
does not have to ba considered , and
direotaonr attention totho proceedings.
At THE FIRING POINTS.
From the grand stand along the
slightly rl ing ground sown with o to
and clover the eye is carried ale- .
five parallel lines of small white posts ,
which mark the direction of the tar-
gats and the distances from the butts.
These are placed at Intervals of 200 ,
300 , 400 , GOO and GGO yards from the
targets , and are each numbered with a
liguro indicating the target to which
they apply. Half way down the range
ban ( jfiiser'd tent , In which sit Mayor
Powell and Major You Herrman at
a Ublu watching the shota sa they
strlko and recording the scores. Far
ther up are a iquad of soldiers lying
on the green airulllug their turn ,
whllo on the opposite side of the
range from the 200 yards firing point
comes the sharp report of the rifles a *
another company arc taking ihglr
practice standing at the nearest range.
The wind Is blowing strongly across
the range , its direction being indi
cated by four red fligs , which stand
firmly out from the stoffj and point
with their tips towards the city. Farther -
thor down stands a large
clock dial , surmounted by a weather
or vane , which indicates the
force of the wind by a hnd
swinging across its face and warns the
marksmen to adjust their wind gnagi )
"to half past one. " As wo look np
the hill towards the bntts , the faces of
five targets apparently rising from thu
ground confront us in the distance ,
one of which wavers , turns and myj-
torlously appears below ground to
glvo place to another precisely llko the
last. A puff of smoke , a report , a
short interval , and a polo , surmounted
by a disc , shoots np from the ground ,
waves across the face of number two ,
and then disappears bslow as rapidly
s it first cacao np , while a change
is made in the group far to our front ,
and another soldier drops into
the pobltlon occupied by the
last marksman. Wo approach the
tiring point and shako hands with
Lieutenant Mason. "A choppy
wind , " says the L'.eutonant
10 Oapt. Ooolidge , wno in
quires ho * many points have been
allowed ou the wind guago and sug
gests that an allowance of tire degrees
vonld carry the ballots more to tno
right. The wind puffs in gusts and
the clock varies trom half past one to
two as a sergeant takes his place nt
the 200 yard post of target No , 2 ,
draws a bullet from his belt , wtita it
in hU month and inserts it in the
breech of his Springfield rlfla. A
sharp report follows. "An Inner
calls out Mr. Dannla who has shot at
Oroodmoor. " ' 'Too "
much to the left ,
remarku Ciptaln Ooolidgo as the white
dhj comes np and the target turns
The captain waves his hand , a red
flag appears on the right of the line of
targets , and firing ceases as wo make
oar way towards
THE BUTTS ,
which occupy the western portion of
the range and contain the targets
and arrangements for recording the
shots. As no plan baa yet been devised -
vised by which a ballot will strike A
target , mark its value , Inform thu
marksman where he baa hit and
erase the mark on the target In read
iness for another ohot , it is plain that
these oacentlals must be accomplished
by human agencies. The problem
then preseuta Itself how the markers
and target tenders can bo Safely ohol-
tared from stray shots and the
bullets after passing through the
targets , restrained from doing any
dnuwpo to travelers bayond the rouge.
The batta at the Fort Omaha rlfla
range , which hnvo been constructed
under Captain Coolldgo'o person
al supervision fully solve the prob
lem and are undoubtedly ths
inott complete in the wool : . Led by
the oiptaln we pss uvouad a high
bank ot earth which atroiches across
the range , and whllo the rod flag elg-
nal ' danger , " and prevents firing
from down the elope , we descend In
the deep trench which con t tins the
Urgota and inarken. The excavation
is olght feet deep , 1C font wldo and
110 foot long , boarded on three aides
and flanked by an abutment of earth
and plank fifteen toot high and ten
ten foot thick , into which
far above our heads the
ballots plunge after passing through
the targotr. The trench is well filled
with soldiers , Lieutenants Treat and
L jden directing the marking.
Through the centre rise five frames ,
eaoh containing two targets revolv
ing on a horizontal axis llko the wheel
of a wagon , so that ono is abort the
trench , while the other fasten ! firmly
bilow In a slat ready to ba elevated
when ( he nppsr one has boon mod.
TI1ETAUQET3
consist of frames of woo'd6x6 feet ,
across which heavy cloth Is stretched ,
and over which a sheet of brown
paper with three concentric black
rings Is putod. This give * four di
visions In which the bullet may enter ;
tha black center or "bulla-eyo , " which
counts 5 in the score , the next ring or
"centre , " which counts a * 4 , the third
or "inner , " for which 3 is credited ,
and the margin between the frame
and largest rlns ? or tha "outer , " which
counts ai 2. Two slzai of targets are
ntid called respectively the "A" and
" 11" targets the frames for each
bolng the eame , but the paper
target varying in size aa
noted. The "A" targets are 4x6 feet ,
with a ball' * eye olght inches in dUme
tor , and are used at the 100 , 200 and
SOOyard ranges. Thp "B" targsts , Ci6
fath a bnll'a-cyo inches in diameter ,
are used at the 400 500 and 000 yard
ranges. On ranges whora firing la
donu ut distances from 7CO to 100
yards a " 0" target Crl2 feet with a
ball' * eye thirty-eight inches in
dlamitur , is made use of , but aa
at Fart Omihi ) , the longest range
la COO yards none of the larger tar
gets are In HBO. While wo examine
tbo targets the rod flag descends. Wo
start nbrvocily as the report of a ride
again rings ont and n sharp "ping"
and spat sounds above our head. Tar
get "No. 2" Lsn been hit , A sergeant
graps , * a lover revolves the axis and
brings it down as the second target
rleoa , to its place. A small hole just
outstdo the bnll'seyo appear on the
pipor. "Four , " calla out Lieu
tenant Laydon. Another sol
dier grasps a polu , on
which Is nailed a rod duo
raises It above the trench and waves
It In front ot the target , thus sig
nalling the shit down the range ; a
third pastes a white paper over the
bullet hole and the target Is ready
again for duty. Another shot.
"Ah , that's Von Uerrman , I'll bet , "
says Lieutenant Treat , as a white
dlec goes up and a "bull's eye" U
recorded. "Tho beauty of this zy.v
tern of targets , " says Oaptaln CoolIdge -
Idgo imprestivnly , "Is their perfect
safety * /Jhera U absolutely no dan
ger In their uio. IIore wo are under
ground , and eight foot below
the bullets with no potslblllty of Icok-
Ing ont to see why the men don't Ore.
That cauicd the death of a soldier nt
Keogh the other day where the vertical
axis targets wore usad in nhbh the
cover la to the side of the target and
the fratnenf the target revolves llko n
screen , Ilcro wo pall thts target down ,
not to the side and the men are per
fectly covered. Tha cloth and paper
targets are easily patched and there line
no splaih from the bullets as is often
the case from iron shields. "
A PKUSONAL TllUL ,
"And now , " said Oapt. Ooslldgo ,
"If you will join as at the COO-yard
firing point , wo will glvo yon a chance
to try your skill at the targets. " Ma
jor Ddunls was dying to make the at
tempt and Dr. Lott was already boast
ing of several remarkable scores that
ho had made 'way down Eist , ' so the
party , reinforced by Major Powell and
Lieutenants Laydon and Treat , left the
trench and made their way down the
range to the last row of posts which
marked the extreme firing distance.
A. canvas spread on the ground af
forded the necessary protection from
the damp and Oapt. Coolidge uftor
adjusting his Springfield rtilo stretch
ed hlrneolf on the pronnd and led oil
with a "center. " Dr. Lott and THK
BEE man tied on a "miss" amid great
applause and Major Djnuls followed
suit through not having properly adjust
ed his gun to the elevation. To plant
a bullet lu a six-foot target over a dis
tance of moro than a quarter of a mile
Is no easy task under the most favora
ble circumstance. Allowance must
bo made for the drop of the bullet ,
the force of the wind , which carries it
to the right or the left , and the olova
tlon of the ground. A variation la
the amount of powder In the shell ,
the weight of the bullet , or the clean-
linens of the bore of the rifl. ' , will
affect more or less the accuracy of the
aim. At least so found THE BBB
representative who , after missing
three tl-nos and almost fracturing his
shoulder from the recoil of the gun ,
contented himself with coaching the
doctor , who , it must bo contested , Is
more of a success as a surgeon than as
a Ions ; range marksman , and plants
pills with a good deal moro accuracy
than ho doea bullets at 000 yards.
Tbo sounding of the call for dinner
from a bnglo from the fort brought
firing to a close , and cleared the
range , and climbing once moro Into
the ambulance , wo retraced our way
to the city.
In conclusion THE BBB wishes to
return thanka for numerous courtesies
received from Oapt. Cbolldgo , the
genial inspector of rlfla practice at the
fort , through whose labors and faith
ful superlntondonco the department
of the Platte can now boast of the
beat and most thoroughly equipped
tifla range in the west. As a result
we look for a rooro at Fort Loavan
worth which will place the team of
. Jv&rtment of the Platte at the
head of all others in tbo dlvltios.

William Jonnlng * finding the duties
of the mayoralty and those cf super-

Mercantile Institution too arduous ,
has resigned his position in the insti
tution , and been succeeded by General
Horace 8. Eldridgo , who formerly oc
cupied that position. General Eld
ridge , who is also president of the
Dosorot National bank , of this city ,
and a "way up" Mormon dignitary ,
Is well known to the business men of
Nebraska and Iowa.
Bait Lake is all agog on musical and
dramatical matters. This week the
well known tradoglan , Lawrence Bar
rett , plays an engagement of five
nights and the Thomas orchestra gives
three concerts in the largo tabernacle.
Ills monster organization will ba sup-
pllmouted by a chorus of 300 local
vocalists. Wo expect a general in-
flax of visitors from all parts of the
compass , from Nevada , Montana ,
Idaho and Wyoming and all paris ol
Utah. The coming of such an or

The "memorable twenty-fourth" Is
only memorable locally. It cele
brates the day when the weary Mor
mon pioneers first entered those arid ,
bnt now lovely valleys. The Salt
Likors regard it as much a holiday as
the Fourth. On the approaching an
niversary there are to be two concerts
given in the largo tabernacle by twelve
hundred members of Prot. Evan
Stevens' juvenile clascef ; one of which
concerts Is to bo devoted entirely to
the rendition of the compositions of
local musical and poetical writers.
With all these ontertalnmonto , con
certs and celebrations ahead of us ,
we are expecting to pass the dog days
