RIFLE COMPÉTITION AT

KOWLOON...

No less than twenty-three com- petitors answered to their names in the shooting sweepstakes promoted by Lieut. Charley and Mr. W. Duoman, on Saturday last, and a very exciting con- test resulted. The conditions were seven shots each at 200, 500, and 600 yards, with the, Martini-Heury rifle, any position. Lient. Charley was eventually returned the winner with the good score of 89 out of a possible 105. Sergeants Norris and Barnes, with scores of 82 and 80, hoing second and third respectively. The wind was not favourable for good shooting, and the light at the last two ranges was very deceptive. Appended are the scores;~~
