Gibson, Captain Of the Canadian team, re-
piled that he WAS not surprised at
their being beaten, but lnuch dis
appointed at being beaten so bad
ly. They were not, however, sent over
to fight a smalLborc match with thu crack
shots Of the mother country. Small-bore
shooting was practiccd by very few IN the
Dominion. Still, rs it was known that
some Of their best slnaJl-borc men
were coming over, and as Sir
Henry 1lalford suggested friendly long
range match, lie thought that, whatever
might be the result, it could not but be very
pleasant to fight side by side with
the home country team. Although
beaten, and beaten badly, he must say
that the victory represented fairly enough
what the mother country conld ITO when pit
ted against Canadian long-range shots, ami

give better account of themselves. The
