| of the welcome. Representatives of the Federal Govern- 
fi ment in the persons of military and naval officers, of 
jj the State and city of New York, of the various militia 
j organizations interested, and of the National Board for 
|| Promotion of Rifle Practice and the National Rifle As- 
| sociation of America, together with a number of dis¬
