SHOOTING SEASON

DRAWS TO CLOSE

Some Suggestions For Next Year

47

The end of the shooting season, which is now in sight, seegis a propitious time to put forward a low suggestions for next sea- son's activities. "

The Hong Kong Rifle Association has extended its operations SO much since its inception, and each innovation has met with"inch' un- come for the qualified success that it is suggested the time has

formation of a Ladies' Section.

From the Color 's very conservative viewpoint this may seem to be, at first sight," a soniewhat revolutionary suggestion. It is not. however, so startling as may appear, and a beginning could be made with miniature rifle shooting.

If this met with the success and support that could honestly be expected, it would not be a difficult matter to extend the movement to 303 shooting and from that to some separate competitions for ladies in the monthly shoots and Annual Prize Meetings is but a small step.

That the feminine element will months of the summer, it is felt take part in the competitions if that much support would be forth- they are given the slightest en-coming if the monthly shoots were There are many whe couragement has been amply de-continued. monstrated by the success which would like to keep their eye in" has attended the formations of all the year round, and an early Ladies Clubs all over England. start on Bunday morning would re- They have already met with con- suit in the greater part of the *siderable success at that Mecca of shooting being over before the sun riflemen-Bley-and the doubters, got intolerably warm. If any, need only remember Miss Marjorie Foster as an example of what a teen-eyed and determined woman can do when armed with a good ride.

Many jokes have been cracked In the past about a woman's in- ablilty to throw straight, but it is pretty certain that, armed with rides and enthusiasm they would be able to find the bull's-eye tre- quently enough.

THE LONGER DISTANCES

A final suggestion is that from, say, the beginning of January onwards, one Wednes- day afternoon per month be davoted to the six hundred. saven hundred and eight hun- dred yards distances, so that competitors can obtain some useful practice at these ranges: Sa preparation for next year's Long Range Aggregates and the Competitions" comprising them, and also for the final stare of the Governors' Prize. Several competitors were deter- red from entering these competi-, tions this year by their lack of practice at these distances and, in some cases, by "stage fright" at the thought of putting up a poor show at distances over which they had never previously fired..

In any case, several indies. visiting the ranges at Kowloon City have been heard to be- moan the fact that they were debarred from emulsting the feats of the men at the firing point and all expressed 'the wish that the opportunity for practice might be given them.

SUNDAY SHOOTS Suggestion number two is that Finally, it will be interesting to the monthly Sunday Shoots, which see what the new handicap lists are always eagerly looked forward will look like after they have been to by scores of marksmen, be con- overhauled by the Committee, and tinued throughout the summer. 1 they hold out the necessary hope Whilst it is agreed that it is desir-to those members of the Associa- able to discontinue the weekly tion who have not as yet won a Wednesday and Saturday after-nett or handicap prize at the noon shoots during the hottest weekly or monthly meetings.

MACAO RACE MEETING

Beautiful Trophy For Main Event

By "Last Quarter”

Judging from the attendanes at the last monthly race meetlar of the Macao Jockey Club held at the Area Preta course, the Ste- wards can well look forward to the presence of a record crowd to- morrow when an interesting programme of seven events will be com- pated for. The eptrics for the various races are most encoursalag and in most cases the best for a long while, and this, feature ald- ed by the brilliant weather and the running for the Governor's Cup will all contribute towards the success of the meeting.

Chief Interest will be centered on the fourth event for which H.E. the Governor of Macho hai presented a magnificent trophy. This race is confined to subscription griffins of the Macao Jockey Club and a large held should be on view. The trophy itself is truly repre sentative of Portuguese art and craftsmanship and was favourably commented on especially as to its Seautiful simplieity of design when placed on display recently in the Gloucester Areade.
