GAVE TALK AT MANCHESTER... 
ON PLATTSBURG AND RIFLE CLUB 
evening at the Manches- 
ter club, J. McC. Sturgis and. C. W. 
Taintor of Boston, members of the 
Manchester summer colony, gave a 
very interesting talk on their army 
drill at Plattsburg, N. Y., last fall and 
the formation of the Essex County 
Rifle club. Mr. Sturgis told of their 
life in camp during the four weeks 
they were there, going into detail re- 
garding camp life, the drills, hikes, 
rifle shooting and cavalry work. 
He said that a mistaken idea of 
Plattsburg Camp was that it was a 
“millionaires @iime.>) «Theres pwere 
plenty of men who were only draw- 
ing a moderate salary there, and 
when under orders one man was no 
better than another. 
Mr. Taintor talked particularly on 
the rifle club idea and told what had 
been done and what they proposed to 
do, provided enough would take hold. 
At present there are two or three lo- 
cations which have been looked over 
to be used for rifle ranges, but oniy 
one which is at ‘Topsfield, had been 
engaged. 
The idea of the whole thing was 
that in case of war men who were 
able to shoot with some degree of ac- 
curacy were most necessary, and at 
the same time hard to find as the 
modern army rifle is no plaything. 
The army uniform with shoes, 
sweater, etc., as well as the regulation 
army rifle was shown, and _ photo- 
graphs of the camp at Plattsburg and 
various manoeuvers. 
At ‘the present time, the Essex 
County Rifle club contains about 150 
members, among whom from Man- 
chester ‘the following names were 
noted: Charles C. W alker, William 
Hooper, Frank -C. Rand, Andrew 
Carnegie, 2d) |= Warren Merrill, Al- 
fred C. Needham and Raymond C. 
Allen. 
After the speaking, refreshments 
were served, and play resumed in the 
tournaments. The leaders of whist 
are Wing and Wilcox, with a total of 
167 points, and R. Knight and Talbot 
Hoare with 142 points, with two 
more teams to play.
