MATCH AT BISLEY. NEW TYPE OF BULLET. By Telegraph.—Press Assn,—Copyright. Received July IC, 5.5 p.m. London, July 15. At Bisley, the Elcho Shield was won by England, with a score of 1632. Scotland was second with 1612. A new stream-line bullet was used, and gave great satisfaction. It is very pointed and tapered at the back, instead of bluntened as the present service bullet. The object of the new design is flatter trajectory and greater range. The Swiss hare been using stream-line bullets with great success, and the United States is carrying out experiments. It is believed the new bullet with the same elevation will give a. 'nge of over five thousand yards, compared w-ai 3400 of the service bullet.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
