Report oi’ Chairmen of Council

Gentlemen:

lit is my privilege to report to you tonight a short account. hi’ the activities of our Association during the year 1938.

With a favorable Sprlngthoughts of our members naturally turned towards rifle shooting, and when arrangements ulcrc made for prac- tices in connection with the Inter- Maritime shoot which was t0 be field at St. John, N.B.. June 16th, a. goodly ixunlbel" of rlilemen tum- ed out. Rifles were careful! tuned up for shooting and some inin and coaching given the bEQIXLWhlC it was known would have to shoot exceptionally well to take the measure of the New Brunswickers and Nova Scotians. In the prac- tice some exceptional scores were made and our high averages. sent by Canadian Press to New Bruns- wick and Nova Scot/la, created con- slclsrablc interest.

The competition, which was the 53rd in cur Inter-Maritime shoot, was one of time keenest ever con- tested. resulting in a tie in points between Now Brunswick and our- selves, each having secured 7'70 points, with Nova scotia well to the rcor with 754 points. We out- scored New Brunswick at the 200 with 260 points to their 250 and tied them ut 600 yards with 258. s0 ihe Rance Officer had to go back and lock up the 500 yards scores. There it vms found that New Brunswick had the same margin- l0 points-over Us as we had over them at 200. and they were a- warded thc trophy. at credit must, be given to our team for conscientious pirac- Lice and good periffliflnimbe incom- petition.
