He is a master of length and direction; can spin the ball strong- ly. This will be his second visit to Bagland.

BROUGHT TO CLOSE

Senior Members Shield Won

By The Army

It was a beautiful day for shooting and the scores on the whole were very good. The Senior Members' svent was won by the Army, the team being comprised of Brigadier Bisset, Col. N. M. S. Irwin and Col. Gowlland and in addition to the competitions on the range there, was also claybird shooting, this event providing so popular that al- though it was scheduled to conclude at '12.30 pm, firing went on till well after 1 o'clock.
