The light was good, but the wind was the strongest yet experienced this season, and changing from right to left, and back, continually. There was also a little rain. The two 43’s by C. Rand and W. Symons were very good under such > condition, but shooting generally was very erratic. Scores were as follows: —

In the final results,, four members —Rflmen. C. Rand, W. Symons, Head and McKegney—tied with a total of 93 for two shoots (47 and 46). The winner was decided on the lowest total handicap used by each, and proved to be C. Rand, who used 6, the others taking 7, 9 and 12 respectively. C. Rand, therefore, wins the first trophy, value 30s, and W. Svmons the second trophy, value 10s. ’ (
