Notwithstanding this 4rawb,ack some very good scores were made, the shotting of Captain M'Coxkine-ale and Mr. Rule being particularly noticeable. The former at the 500 yards range made eight consecutive bulls' eyes, including one obtained with his sighting shot.

The following are the scores of those who made 30 and upward this morn-
