this Colony is the Interport Match. In 1888, shooting against Singapore and Shanghai, Hongkong made 934; in 1809 this was increased to 952; and in 1900 a total of 930 was recorded. Penang was not then included in the Interpart Rifle Match, and is only misking its debut this year--how successfully remains to be seen. I those years the targets were different, this year marking the introduction of the new Bisley targets. In this connection a comparion of old and now targets may not be uninteresting. At 200 yards the bull's eye is now seven inches as against eight inches under the old conditious, and at 500 and 600 yards twenty inches as against twenty-four, other marking, of course, 2 being in proportion.

The weather conditions yesterday wore on the whole good, though hardly what could be described as favourable. During the day the wind changed from right to left and blew in 3 uncertain little puffs across the ranges. A left wind on the range at Kowloon is never found Value,

so satisfactory as one from the opposite direc tion, and when it changed the calculations of one or two members of the team were upsat, though fortunately not so greatly as seriously to affect the result of the shooting. The sky was unclouded, and the slight glare from the san could not be regarded as an adrerne factor 1in the match.
