MIDDLESEX REGIMENT ATTEND SHOOT
Largest Attendance. This Season
As was only to be expected, the chief topic of conversation or the firing-point and in the Clubhouse yesterday afternoon. when the long Kong Rifle Association held its is...al mid-week shoot, was the grant of shooting facilities on certain Sundays during the season. The concensus of opinion, freely expressed on all sides, was that this concession not only marks an im- portant step. In the history and progress of the Association. but definitely sets the seal of official approval on its activities. At the shoot yesterday afternoon, the Association welcomed thembers of the latest affiliated unit, the 1st Bn. Middlesex Re- giment, and these new members of the Association acquitted themselves well on this, their first visit to the ranges.
The attendance, in spite of the absence of so many mem- bers in Shanghal, was by far the largest yet seen this season. and as a result, firing continued almost until dusk,
Shooting conditions were good, as far as the weather was concerned; wind was negligible, and the light bright and con- stant.
