6 for the Battery; at 200 yards kneeling they displayed some most brilliant shooting, averaging for 10 men 28.5aman, while C.G.I. Knowlson's 33 was a really beautiful shoot, which he followed up with a good 30 at 500 yards, totalling 63, top score la the match. Forthe Artillery, Q. M. S. Bourke as usual contributed a valuable score, returning 62, followed by Gunner Symons with 59, who as previously stated had to be counted out. 'The Navy team totalled 375, an average of 57.5 man, one point and a-half over inners; scoring' that is not 6 made every day in Shanghsi, and the Artillery did very well indeed in keeping the difference as low as 58 points, The challengers deserve great credit for gaining such a very decisive victory, and it 1s to be hoped the Artillery will give them a better match when they challenge for the return match, The match, thanks to Commander Percy Royds, was most enjoyable; refreshments were provided, and the teams having cheered one another, every one left the range with the feeling that they had never fired in more pleasant match.
