The conditions under which the above men fired were* according to all who
saw the firing, the worst encountered by any class filing this year. There was a hi
wind all day, especially at 600 yards, and scurrying clouds wuiiid alternately darke ,
the firing point and the target, changing the light conditions completely, often sev
eral times while a man was firing his string. This makes the performance of new men
th6 more creditable* The officers of the post are looking to Pvt • Cobbler, who shot
320 under these conditions, to be one of the contenders for high score next year.
The MOVING PICTURE SHOW will beg^n at 7:00 p©ml hereafter, including tonight *
CAPTAIN R. P. COOK relieves CAPTAIN R. C. WRIGHT as Educational and Recreation
Officer, effective Monday, August 25th, according to post orders issued this week*
