"Bray" Cup Competition The annual '§.V.C. distance judging test for the cup presented by Col Bray took place on Sunday morning. Thirty-two teams entered, and 31 teams met at the railwpy bridge over the Soochow Creek at Jessfield Park, where they were detailed for exercise in this important branch of soldiering.
The targets were parties from §.V.O. units who were stationed at various points in the country. Competitors were told where to look and the targets were called up by Troop signal to make themselves conspicuous in one way or another, some by marching, some by firing and some by simple movements.
The ranges, of which there were five, in all cases were such as would be practical and effective for rifle shooting in such country as we have around Shanghai, that is to say nothing much over 500 yd. at the outside.
