Again, right down the same fairway is a drainage ditch, while flanking on the left is a huge nullah, and its total width of all is about eighty yards.

On the other side of the hill (on' the other rifle range) is the 5th fairway, and there is a nullah also flanking the left, and the width of the fairway there is between thirty and forty yards.

The second hole is situated some twenty yards from the edge of the first named nullah, and in playing it from the elevated teo the same runs diagonally across the line of fight. To drop in this nuiinh on the 2nd, however, is the result of a bad or dulled shot, and a penalty is ap-
