MARKSMEN.
Captain Alfred J. Wolff Now Ranks As a Sharpshooter.

Although the wind was very adverse to good shooting yesterday the members of Co G who had qualified made some very good scores. It was very cold at the range and many of the boys preferred shooting with their overcoats on.

Through a misplacement of the signal flag one of the markers came near receiving a shot and was scared out of a year's growth.

By the shoot the company gains one sharpshooter, Captain A. J. Wolff, who made 41 out of a possible 50, seven first class marksmen and fourteen marksmen. The following is the correct score at each range:
