MAKES FIRST APPEARANCE IN COMPETITION FOR KING'S PRIZE. The King's Prize was woii at Bisley on July 16 by Mr. C. F. H. Bayly, a 58-year-old ex-company sergeantmajor of the Royal West Kents, with a score of 289. Mr. F. S. French, a former sergeant of the Herts Yeomanry, with 287 points, was second. Mr. Bayly, who is an electrical efigineer on th'e Southern Railway at Bexley Heath, and has for years been secretary of the West Kent Rifle Cluh, said afterward: "The joke of my suceess is that people who ought to know have told me that I should wear glasses, and should have had them ten years ago. They say my sight is decidedly bad." The heroine of th'e day was Miss Blanehe Badcock, the only woman in the "King's Hundred," who obtained a total of 277 points. Miss Badcock, who was making her first appearance in the shoot for the King's Prize, was the most deliberate competitor on the range. Although she was the only woman in the "Hundred," sh'e fired with the coolness of an old-stager. She and Miss Foster, the only woman to win "a prize, run a chicken farm. Miss Badcock said that she was satisfied to he in the last hundred. "I am glad," she rehiarked, "at having go so far. I think with a little more practice I may have a chance of carrying off the prize. It is the ambition of my life to win it."
