In the Challenge Cup, the principal trophy of the day, Pte. J. F. R. Loutit, comparative newcomer to the com-any, amassed the useful total of ninety-two points to gain the coveted prize and also earn the distinction of cing perhaps the first man to achieve this honour after such a short association with the company. He beat It. C.'W. Glover by the narrow margin of one point, the latter being the crack shot of the company with many wins in the Challenge Cup to his credit. In the Guests' Cup, Major Tonkin, of the 2/98h Jat Regt, Indian Army, brother-in-law of Capt. G. D. Nicholl and a visitor to Shanghai, despite his own statement that he had not hand-Ted a rife for over twenty years, won the prize, beating Major Douglas and Colonel Graham.
