In addition to the official prises above, anumber of men made up a

unofficially that the av/ards will be loads as fellows:
Sgt* Logwood will win 025 for highest aggregate score and 012.50
for highest rapid fire score made by a member of the pool.
Company F* s remarkable record is the result of the most painstaking
effort a$d.skilled coaching and handling. Going on che range July 27th, af
ter completing the regular preliminary instruction, the company fired early
ana late until just before dark thi s afternoon, 'the final record score was
fired. Except for haze due to forest fires, and gog luring the last week’s
firing, weather coalitions were almost ideal. Arrangements ’vere made by the
Post Commander, Llajor F.’4.’5aiiox, whereby all fatigue work was &ken over by
Company Ef so that Company F. Was enable 1 to ievoteits entire energy to
range practice.
i'iy nan-tiest congratu rations go to Captain bavage, commanding the
company, to First Sergeant Martin and th3 other coaches, and to the men of
Company F, " sail Major Maddox today, "It is a pleasure indeed to command
a post where 3uch a record can be mader
''I wish at this time again to congratulate Company M on their record
made last month, although not a3 high as that of Company F, they fired at a
time when it was necessary to interrupt their practice, and 1 was highly
gratified at the results they obtained. I Seel that only by supreme effort
could they hve qualified, under the conditions with which they had to con
tend, ICO/o with 22 experts out of 65 men firing.
,:The entire post seems to have been animated with the spirit which
has enabled Company F co hang up a new worl* d record. The quartermaster,
Lieutenant Edwards, wishing to preserve the traditions of Chilkoot Barracks,
joined in the firing, and at first made excellent scores, but, like a true
quarterraaster, decided that the bull's eye of the target was getting shot
out too soon, and wishing to save property, contented himself 3ith 41s and
a few 3's, qualifying as a sharpshooter. Cneplain Monohan also became in
fected with the shooting lever, and requad.ified as a sharpshooter. Ihe
Ordnance Department, with a supreme effort, qualified IX)^. (£he ordnance
sergeant constituting the entire ordnance data:.hiinrt here.)
Orders iron Regimental Headquarters informed us early this season
that the regiment’s record of more than 98Jo must net be lov/ered; and I will *
be deli gated to renert that this post has made a record cf 100/£ qualified
in riie marksmans’up^ including the highest- known company score in the Army;
end tnc.t even tie non ecu r a "ant brandies, suen as ordnance, finance and quar
termaster corps, have qualified every man firing, either with the rifle
or with the automatic pistol,”
