Necessity For Week-End Shooting Facilities

YESTERDAY'S MEET RESULTS

The feature of the mid-week Spoon and Practice Shoot held by the Hong Kong Rife Association yesterday afternoon at the Kowloon ranges was the unexpectedly large attendance of members of the Hong Kong Volunteer Defence Corps, of whom nearly twenty took part in the competition. This is another sign, if one be wanted, of the pressing necessity for week-end shooting facilities to be available, for the Association, for the reason for this unusual attendance "yes-" terday afternoon was that many basiness firms were closed owing to the races, and therefore the members of the staffs concerned were. able to participate, for once, in the mid-week shoot at Kowloon.
