Ching, with a score of 133, which wins the silver cup presented by Mrs. Halpin. Riflemen H. V. Croxton, J. Cox, G. Tinney, and N. F. Willoughby win trophies donated by the club. At the conclusion of the service shoot a ten-shot sweepstake match was fired at 600 yards, the top score being made by Rifleman H. Bulford, with 47.
