The average of the percentages of 1898, 1899, 1900, and 1901 amounts as nearly as possible to missing twice out of three rounds. It is true that, taking the year 1901 by itself, a slightly higher percentage then 33.3 in arrived of, bat the statement Capt. Crofton challenges by inunendo is absolutely sustained by the figures. The real fact is that the shooting of individual shipe is in proving, but the shooting demerit of the whole feat is very much what it was four years ago. There has been little recent obange in the average fgurs of demerit in the whole fest.
