Hongkong, 17th August, 1903.

With reference to your letter No. 447/03/Ex.

$13,560

Add 10% contingencies.

I am directed to remark, however, that his Excellency the General Officer Commanding always understood the term "Rifle Range" used in the correspondence to signify a properly equipped rifle Range, the same as is sanctioned by War Office; and it is regretted that this was not made clearer at an earlier stage.

4.

The accessories asked for are all necessary and are all present at the Kowloon Range, though merged in the surrounding...
