MEETING iii

Tiic 59th animal prize meeting of tlic i’. id. l. itifle Association was completed yesterday and it was in all respects a most successful one. Tiic number of competitors was tlic largest since 1014 and the uliiount of prize money distributed was also tile largest,

Thc olilcinlm-secrctury rango oilicer, markers and rcgistcr kcopcrs and also the statistical brunch gave the utmost satisfac- tion to all competitors. The result was a smooth pcrfcttt running mcctiiig aiid one that will be look- cd back on wlili pleasure by those who took part in it. .

'l‘be program of yesterday was thc largest of tlic three days and included the Moore and McLeod Ltd. Mutcii 10 shots at 300 yards. the second stage uf the MacDonald Lirlcr Match. 7 shots eucli at 300 and 600 yards and tlic Iaflillcfl Challenge Trophy Match.
