In justice to both teams IL should be slid
that an unsteady breeze, amounting almost to
a gale blew across the range, which, besides
causing considerable deviation of the bullet
(even at 200 yards, made it almost impossible in
the standing oli-hand position to hold the rifles
on the targets Without this explanation the
scores could not be considered respectable, us
both teams shot far above those figures every
time they practiced for this contest.
At the close Of the team contest, the wind
having partially subsidized, a subscription match
was made up, with twelve entries, the highest
individual score to receive half of tho sub.
