...shooting so far this season has been mediocre and yesterday afternoon was an average day, most of the men being extremely unreliable. The best score was made by C. J. Paine '97, who broke 70 per cent of his birds. Next week a handicap shoot will be held for which the prize will be a revolver, and on Monday the second shoot for the Founder's Cup will take place...
