In the Catran trophy, the first round ol winch was completed last week, the surprising feature is that although it was a handicap shoot, of the six remaining in it thre'c scored possibles and two scored 49, not taking their handicaps into consideration. This is really e 3 shooting. This competition will be. completed this week, and with the scores so- close it is hard to say who will be the successful competitor. Another feature of this competition is that quite a number of the good shots failed vo, qualify for the final, while one; or two of the medium shots nut on very good scores. Those remaining for the shoot-off are: —Airs Hawkins 50, handicap 1, 50: Airs Rae 49—2 —SO; Miss Ingram 49—3—50; Airs Smith 50 —3 —50: Aliss Lyall 47—3 —50; Aliss Goodwin 50 —2 —50.
