Gus valuable prizes. The distance for revolver
shooting was 80 metres, or 33 yards the diam
eter OF the target being ~ inches. which was
adopted after large number OF designs had

done with the 45-calibro revolver and the win
ner OF the first grand prize was Georges Nande
OF Paris. who made the fine score OF 5b out OF q
possible 60 lie WAS awarded 200 francs.
Mr. Conlin secured Que OF these targets and
reduced II 10 his l2-yard range, to onablo hmeri-
