GOOD SCOEES AEE EXPECTED Murky Day Said to Be Best for Marksmanship?Scores Made in Today's Events. Sounds like war in the big hollow hack of Congress Heights, but it isn't. Merely j of the crack shots of the National | Uiiarrt of the District of Columbia start ing out today in the big three-day an nual rifle and revolver matches. The rifles started popping at 0 o'clock this morning, when the enlisted men's match started with 218 contestants. This Is by far the largest entry in a novice match of this kind ever recorded for the local brigade. This is fine shooting weather. It is hard on the Chilian who has to take an um brella to the range, but the even light of a drizzly day is easy on the eyes of marksmen, and good scores were pre dicted by the old-time riflemen. The first shooting was done on what is called the "skirmish range"?a matter of 20i) yards. The entrants in the enlisted men's match stood in the pouring rain and fired twelve shots apiece at the targets. As the bullet would pierce the paper, the target would sink out of sight behind a mound?"butts" is the military term? nni the marker, who is immured in the ditch somewhere, lifts a signal to show where the leaden pill pierced the mark. The most welcome signal is the whife disc, which indicates the bull's-eye?a score of five A red disc means a four, a black one. three, a black cross, two, w l ile a waving red flag bears the dis couraging news that the bullet flew wide of the twenty-four square feet of target, lied flags were not missing today, but they were scarce enough to do honor t<? the novices of the brigade. Hack of the firing line a scattering of tents, quartermaster's wagons and cot tages gives the range tlie appearance of military headquarters in the fiMd. The men in field uniforms of kliakl have a formidable and scrappy appearance, but, contrary to the usual glimpses of mili tary life, there is an indiscriminate chat ter between men and officers. The best man today is the best shot, be he cor poral, private, lieutenant or captain. In addition to the enlisted men's match the program today Includes the novice match. the company team match, battalion match, regimental match and McLennan trophy match. The novice match attracted much at tention. It was open only to enlisted men of the brigade who have com pleted official scores for 1912. except those who have qualified as sharpshoot ers or experts. Twenty teains had entered In the com pany team match. Five men from any one company shoot -'X? yards, ten rounds per man. From this match selection is : made of teams for the bin Seagirt, N. J., matches in August and September. MaJ. Thomas S. King is the executive officer in charge of the matches. He is assisted by Maj. George I* Talt, chief range officer. Capt. C. R. Sherwood is statistical officer. Scores in the enlisted men's match, the first to be comDleted today, show the forty-six winners out of 218 entries as follows: First, Thirst Sergt. F. R.

The "Applf Tree" Myth Again. To tho Editor of Thi* Star: An item published in The Star of the 23d instant ran as follows: "Gov. Wood row Wilson of New Jersey has corr sented to plant a tree on the historic spot near Appomattox Court House, Va., where the south acknowledged it had reached the limit of its resources in 1865, when Gen. Lee offered his sword to Gen. Grant. The tree is to be planted on the site of the old apple tree," under which the surrender took place. All traces of the apple tree have been re moved by relic hunters, even the stump and roots having been taken away." The above quoted story is not in har mony with the version of Gen. Grant as stated by him in his "Personal Me moirs." page 48S, volume 2, which reads as follows: "Before stating what to<JR place between Gen. Lee and myself, 1 will give all there is of the story of the famous apple tree. "Wars produce many stories of fiction, some of which are told until they are believed to be true. The war of the re bellion was no exception to this rule, and the story of the apple tree is one of those fictions based on a slight foundation of fact. As I have said, there was an ap ple orchard on the side of the hill oc cupied by the Confederate forces. Run ning diagonally up the hill was a wagon road, which at one point ran very near one of the trees, so that the wheels of vehicles had, on that side, cut off the roots of this tree, leaving a little em bankment. Gen. Babcock of my staff reported to me that When he first met Gen. I.iee he was sitting upon this em bankment with his feet in the road be low and his back resting against tiic tree.

The terms of surrender were made in the house of a Mr. McLean, A Appomat tox Court House, Va JOHN BRESNAHAN, Late of the 27th Indiana Infantry. Unexpected Climax.
