Judging from the weekly prac-
tice scores made by this gentleman
and by many other members of the
club, it is remarkably poor show
ing. 1t can easily be accounted for
when the conditions under which
the match took place are con-
sidered.
In the first place it was an ex-
tremely windy day. A strong south
wester was blowing across the
ranges, not steadily, but in fierce
gusts. In the second place the sky
was overcast with masses of driving
clouds. AS a result, the targets
were at one moment quite in the
shadow and the next the sun, break
ing through the riffs in the clouds,
cast an almost binding light upon
them. Under these circumstances
it may be called a very good score.
Mr.. Ballentine's victory places him
as the first winner of tie prize gold
medal offered by the club. The
member winning this medal three
times is to be final possessor.

THE IMMIGRANTS.
They VIII Be Allowed Their

When the case of the sixty-two
Chinese charged with attempting
to land unlawfully came up in the
District Court Monday afternoon,
Acknowledgement Brown asked for
a remand, but did not set any date
for the hearing.
1t was afterwards learned that
the reason for the delay was that
the Board of Immigration was in
favor of allowing the men their
freedom providing that they accept
the conditions of the new Restric-
ton Act now in force, one of which
is that they viii not engage in any
pursuit other than that of planta-
ton laborers.
1t is understood that the immi-
