 nish contestss. by the way The shoot at Wallingford this year Is going to be really advantageous one for all those who participate. Not only will the crack shooters of the regiment be given an opportunity to surpass themselves, but new fields in shooting will be opened to them. All this was decided Friday night at a meeting of the com mittee appointed to make arrange 1nents for the shoot. and of which Ma jer Henry Norton, Jr., is the chairman.
