place in the shooting box and it was soon
seen that the magnificent score of Johnson's
would be equaled. If not surpassed. As
shot after shot was placed in the black the
interest of the observers became intense,
and much excitement prevailed. This did
not in the least interfere with the good
shooting Of the tried marksman, and when
