Bernard, the late Chairman of the Association, together with many others, approached him with a view to calling a public meeting for the purpose of reviving interest in this sport. That he was quite willing to do, but frst of all, suggested, before calling a publle meeting, that it would perhaps be wise to circulate those de- finitely known to have been previously connected with the Rifle League, in order that their views might be Rought regarding the question of re- suscitation. Accordingly, a meeting was held on December 19, 1928, which were present Mr. T. Swan, Mr.
