RESULTS ill YESTEHBATS Hlill MMTBHES

Yesterday ushered in the annual matches of the Provincial Rifle As- sociation and for the first time in years theweather was unfavorable. The heavy downpour of rain all morning caused the postponement of the matches until one o'clock. At that time it was fine but for the next two hours the light was var- iable and made conditions difficult to many of the marksman; howev- er some excellent scores were made.

The MacKinnon Drug Co., Match was the first fired, it being ten rounds fired at a six inch bulls eye at 200 yards, possible 50 points. It was won by Eric Coies, Milton with the excellent score of 49 points out of 50, with A. Gormiey, a newcom- er, second, and several others close up. The MacKinnon match was foi- lowed by The Prowse Bros" Ltd., Match, seven rounds each at 200. 500 and G00 yards, possible being 105 points.

In this match .. some remarkable shooting was done. To begin with Mr. G. M._ Moore scored a possible at 200 yards, following it up with 34, at 500 yards, making a total of’ 69 points out of 70.

Another good score was that of Capt. A. W. Allan who had 6B points out of 70. R. L. Coles having a like score. At the 600 yards Capt. Allan scored all bulls but one this givins him 34 points which added to his 68 made 102, a new record for the Prowse Match. It will be remember- ed that last‘ year Capt. Allan and Col. MacKinnon each scored 101 in this match which was a new rec- ord, Col. MacKlnnon winning be- cause of having the best score at the long range. Capt. Allan's shoot yesterday is certainly worthy of the greatest praise and stamps him as a marksman able to compete favor- ably with any in the this connection it may be stated that there are some remarkable

Traffic Halted In i Metropolitan Area

(Special to the Guardian)

NEW YORK, Aug. 2. —New York City and other parts of the metro- politan district were storm swept to- day for the third time within six- teen days by wind, lightning and rain that crippled all kinds of trans- portation. - flooded streets, sewers and cellars, and in general demoral- ized the normal activities of those communities where the storm was worst. \

Lightning struck a trolley car at Maplewood, N. J., injuring seven men and women, also hit the Sold- iersand Sailors Monument on Riv- erside Drive and set fire to four houses in New Jersey. Floods re- sulting from the inadequocyof sew- ers to discharge an extraordinarily heavy rainfall covered the Seventh Ave. subway tracks and delayed op- erations, also filled the New Haven railroad out at Mount Strain, N. Y. delaying trains for two hours.

- Bus and trolley service were delay- ed by flooded streets throughout the metropolitan area.
