Again the weather was all that could be desired, and the interest that has been manifested in the meeting was well maintained. The Storekeepers' Cup was the prize to be shot for this morning, at the 900 and 500 yards ranges, and no fewer than 23 members of the Corps competed. Some splendid shooting was the result. At the 200 yards range, Lieut. Tucker and Private Pardon each made $1 points out of a possible 35, Sub-Lieutenant Lanning and Sergeant Vincent being next with 30 each, while Sub-Lieutenant Glass, Sergeant Rex, and Privates Buchanan and Dunman were all credited with 28—an average of inners. This good scoring, however, was altogether eclipsed at. the 500 yards range, where Sub-Lieutenant Glass made a bulls' eyo with his sighting shot, and followed it with seven others, thus scoring as many points as it was possible to make. Wight consecutive bulls-eyes have never been made before in any competition on the range, but even this splendid scoring only caused him to tie with Sub-Lieutenant Lanning, who had two points advantage of him at the shorter range, and here put together 33 out of a ble 35. These totals of 63 will com-wre favourably with the best scores made at Wimbledon in the late meeting at these two ranges, and four of the other com-editors made 30 and over. Sergeant meant made 28, bringing his total at the two ranges up to 68, and not havin won a prize at a previous Municipal Mooting, he had a handicap allowance of five points, which made him even with Sub-Lieutenants Glass and Lanning. The three ties will be shot off to-morrow. It is noteworthy that in this competition, 12 of the 23 aspirants for the prize made over an average of inners, which mus regarded as excellent shooting.
Appended in the full score 5,—Sronexeurens' Cor.—Ranges—200 and 500 yards. *Second Prize, three-fourths of the Entrance Fe ive points.
