GOOD Average. Scores on Had Day.
Yesterday afternoon five members Of the
Columbia Rifle Association went out to their
range at Benning's for practice for the match
which Is to occur on Friday, the 18th instant.
The ligh. was excellent for rifle practice at
long range, being what Is termed gray light" 4"
without reflections and shadows and no mirage,
but In all other respects the afternoon was not
good for high scores, as the breeze was
"choppy" and unsteady and the temperature
was low and raw. The breeze In strength
was from / to points, aud in direction from
half'past one to four o'clock. The scores, how.
ever, averaged high, and would stand in front
rank among the best OF rilemen anywhere,
and. considering the day, are pronounced ex.
cellent. 1t is hoped the club will have good
average weather on Friday next, the day of
the bronze badge match. so that some Of its
highest scores may pass to record in the annual
report Of the National Rillo Association OF
America. Tho following is the shot.for.sLOt
record Of yesterdays shooting:
