The Daily Press remarks that it is well to compare the above with the Shanghai score in the match with A. & B, Companies of the Altrincham (Cheshire) Volunteers the Shanghai team then made a total of 822 points or an average of 82.2 per man, The total of the ten highest scores in the Tnniskilling and Civilian teams is 774, or an average of 77.4. The Press then says "Hongkong would have beaten the Cheshire R.Y. but would still have been a long way behind the very fine shooting of Shanghai on that occasion, and it must be remembered, too, that the above scores are the pick out of 16, whereas in a team of 10 men, the occasions are seldom that some one does not come to grief and knock a hole into the average. However, when we get more suitable weather for shooting, a less powerful sun, and a steady breeze from the other quarter, we must hope for far better results, With steady practice and more of these friendly matches Hongkong may then, and not till then, hope to make a good show against the Shanghai Volunteers,"
