Yesterday being the first Sunday of the
month large number of marksmen assem-
bled at Harbor View The day was not a
good one for high scores. A thick haze
prevailed for the most part of the day, and
it was often very hard to distinguish the out
lines of the bulls-eye.
The California Club was we'll represented,
and some good individual scores were made.
II. II. Brown shot in splendid form while
the light remained steady. When at the
end of his first 'string of five" he showed
the excellent score of lis points, he received
tie congratulations of his comrades on all
sides. Believing that the opportunity of
fered. he started out for the purpose OF
breaking the record. Many of his friends
believed he would accomplish this result,
and when he finished his next string with
another us his friends were enthusiastic in
the belief that the record would be broken.
But just here the light on the targets
changed. A thick haze overspread the
sho0lng-range, and it was almost impos-
slble to shoot with any degree of accuracy.
and what promised to be brilliant score
was cut short by the laws of nature. TAX
ing into consideration the wretehed light,
Mr.. Browns score of 436 points is certainly
an excellent showing.
The targets used on the range are the
25-ring targets. All styles OF rifles are al
lowed, ana the pull of trigger is at the
pleasure of the marksman.
