true in order exonerate the committee in charge
| Of the arrangements on the shooting ground from
| the blame OF having carelessly exposed human life
! to needless danger.
The shooting commenced yesterday morning pune
tuay at seven O'Clock, all the changes as suggested
by the visit OF superintendent Kennedy the previous
