Conditions at Balestier range this morning were excellent. There was a fire, even light (no glare, and very slight wind but insufficient to cuse anybody trouble. The morning was about as good as could be wished for and the ten local riffemen rose to the occasion. Com
ment here is needless, fit the details will be found in the shot for shot record which follows; but it should be said that this year the Blinga. pore men have been consistently good through. out practice, and they have well maintained that consistency in the match, indeed the scores show up above practice average. With al
a little better assistance from Mr. Loog, who co- fortunately fall off to F7, Fingapore might have had an average of ten 96%, which would take a deal of beating anywhere in the world.
