AN UNMATCHED SCORE,—As a fitting con.ellision
to a rifle shooting competition which took place en Mon lay
among the Netherley and Portlethen Volunteers at Nether-
ley House, by Aberdeen, the seat of Mr. Horatio Ross, the
old deer-stalker" himself, and his son, Mr. Edward Ross,
G " the champion shot," had a quiet trial of skill at long dis-
tances on Tuesday morning, when the following extraordi-
nary scores were made :—" Tho Old Deer-stalker" (Mr. H.
41088)-800 yards, 10 shots, 13 points ; 900 yards, 10 shots,
10 points ; 1,000 yards, 10 shots, 11 points ; 30 shots, 34
points. The Champion Shot (Mr. E. Ross)-800 yards, 10
shots, 15 points; 900 yards, 10 shots, 14 points; 1,000
yards, 10 shots, 14 points; 30 shots, 43 points. There were
no trial shots, and the champion's miss at the beginning—
he fired first—may be accounted for by the strong wind
which blew throughout the trial. No superior shooting
having yet been seen in any of the competition returns,
the eboye goon of 43 may be set down tie unmatched.
