The result of the shooting in this match could not be
made known to-day, as the holders of Enfield rifle,
Intended to compete with those of the small bores at
the 900 yards range. As time would not permit of this
being done it was decided that the shooting should
t.ke place on the following day. The shooting for
Colonel Hansel's prise was also only partly gone
through, and this was likewise left over until the
next day.
