REVOLVER SHOOT.

POSSIBLE BY A POLICE LANCE-SERGEANT,

The Hong Kong and Kowloon contingents of the Police met at a revolver shooting contest at the Kennedy Road Range yesterday afternoon, the former team win- ning by 145 points.

The scores were:--

Hong Kong Kowloon

875 730

A feaure of the contest was that Lance-Sergeant Pennell, of the Hong Kong law, acored the possible 135 points. Inspector Booker, also of the island, was next best shot with 125 points.

• For Kowloon, Lance-Sergeant Brand was the best; scoring 120 points.
