Private Hawkins, of Canada, won the King's Prize, with a score of HiiO. Sergeant I'enby (;J29) was second. , Blacklow (1323) was sixth, Halliday (1321) eighth, Macalister (131.9), Harrison (318). The four last-named are Australians. They won . a badge and £'10 each. Pive other Australians, Semmens, Cross, Green, Garrity, and Calliford, a badge and £5 eaeli. Instead of ten shots at the three last ranges of the King's Cup, competitors had fifteen shots at nine hundred and a thousand yards. Onnmdsen, firing ten rounds, in thirty seconds, was one point ahead of Penby at the end of the nine hundred yards, but he unaccountably missed the target at the seventh shot of the thousand yards and finished with 24. Meanwhile a crowd gathered l'ound Hawkins, who for his last shot required an inner to tie with Penby, but he scored a bull. , I Hawkins's range scores were 100, 48, 46, 68, 68. The winner is a Toronto lawyer. He lias been shooting for six years. It is his first visit to Bisley. He secured a place in the Canadian team as a substitute for an absent man. Throughout he shot with the greatest sang froid, smoking between the ranges and chewing gum while firing. He had a great reception, while the Canadians chaired him around the camp. A. G. Fulton won the Saint George's vase with a score of 119. Harrison, an Australian, won the Elkington Challenge Cup. The Duchess of Wellington presented the prizes. The Australians were greatly cheered on receiving the Mackinnon Cup. Because. I sit on Mount Victoria, And breathe the winter air; I sit on Mount Victoria Because I have no chair.
