There were but five to enter the final
match of distinguished marksmen, and ow-
ingto the dense atmosphere the smoke hung
close to the ground, and this, together
with the gathering darkness. made it al
most impossible to see the targets.
Notwithstanding this. however, some good
shots were made. The ranges were the
same as in the former matches, and without
the two skirmshes the contests resulted:
S. 1. Scout, 22, 25, 25, 20; total, 90.
