Lieut. Marett was top scorer for the day with 91, a good score under the conditions, Lieut. Willis and Private Marett following with 89 each. Lieut. Willis won the championship. The following are the scores of those who finished, the ranges for the first two-inatches being • 200, 500 and 000 yards, and 600, «00 and 700 yards respectively:— Ist - 2nd 3rd Match Match Match Tl.
