ANOTHER FINE KNOCK BY PEARCE
HONG
KONG RIFLE ASSOCIATION
(Continued from Page 1)
In spite of these adverse circum- stances, the members of the S,1. b) team increased their aggre zate from 999 last year to 1022, which shoud bring the Colony well up the Prize List, although not so fgh, perhaps, as some expected.
Those members of the Associa- slon, and many others in the
Colony will be awaiting the anal results, to be issued by the NR.A. "some time next month-with-the keenest interest, and it is hoped the measure of success that achieved by those who fired yester- day, will at least be known, before the second annual dinner, which is likely to take place early in February.
