Extreme variations of light • caused by passing clouds and a strong southerly wind made shooting conditions interesting, and as a consequence no possibles were recorded. With two. shoots gone Riflemen A. Baker and S. Smith have each two limits in hand, while single -limits are held by Riflemen E. Adams, R. K. Johnson, G. Adams, W. Pullar, W. Crimp, and_ J. M'Kinlay.
