We Eat Again !!

So says Capt. Fred Boyce and his
team of marksmen. The last shoot of
the season contest of the Gun Club &C.
Cured on Wednesday afternoon, bring
ing the contest to remarkable close.
Can't Christie and his team were conf.
dent of victory this time but instead of
wiping out their defeat in the first
contest, they must again provide the
supper. When two rifle teams composed
of twenty men each, engage in a
contest and the score results in a tie,
the result is almost unprecedented. A
total of 600 shots were fired, yet the
final score gave each team mark of 815
out of possible 1900. Confronted by
this result, it was decided that the two
captains should shoot five rounds each
to determine the matter. Capt Christie
won the toss-up and elected to have his
opponent shoot first. Nothing daunted
Capt Boyce stepped up and turned out
score of 81. Capt. Christie followed
With score of 20. Thus the final
results made Capt. Boyce's team the
winners.
