FUNERAL SCENES
At The Queen's
Thanks to the air mail, the Paramount Films and the Manage- Theatre the Queen's ment of cinema patrons were able to view the funeral scones of His late Majesty King George George V 18 days after the last rites.
The scenes throughout are very impressive and coupled with the soft music of the massed bands, or the Lament of the Pipers one sometime forgets himself that, in- stead of viewing" the "scenes on the screen one is actually taking part in the procession itself.

It is a very fine picture, and one that must have been the fruit of
l'extensive and careful organisation,
as well as rapid production.
But many other scenes are deep- ly impressive, notably, the West End in mourning, the bearing of the coffin along country" roads" from Sandringham to Wolverton 'Station, the arrival at King's Cross

The visibility was poor from start to finish, and the haze which is so often met with on this island, was much in evidence; on the other hand, the wind caused little trouble or thought, and with the steady light, conditions may, with Justice, be said to have been fairly favourable to the competitora.
The feature of the shoot was the cutstanding performance by Lance Corporal Peters, R.E. who, although shooting with the new "1914" rida for the third time only, not only scored a possible at 200 yards, but shot so well at the longer distances, that his aggregate reached three Agures. It is of Interest to note that this is the second occasion within the last fortnight, and since the New Year that the highest possible score" has been made at the shortest distance. at which range, the bulls-eye is only Ave inches in diameter, and incidental-

As regards the century which was made yesterday, this is the first time since the new targets came into use that a three-gure score has been made in the Colony, although Lieut. (E). Berlyn of the Royal Navy made a similar total on the Army Ranges at Kowloon In October 1st.
The Honorary Secretary has re- ceived notification from the
Rifle Association. National thorities that drastic regulations are in course of preparation, and will be published shortly, restrict-
ing the cutting, or mutilation of the woodwork of the "1914" rifle to a minimum, and therefore mem- bers are strongly advised to retrain from making any alterations to their weapons until details of this ruling are received out here.
The Spoon Shoot held yesterday was shot for under the usual King's first-stage conditions 1.e. one sighter and seven shots to count at 200-500 and 600 yards with a highest possible score of 105; the leading scores were as follows:-
