Alban S. Emery, who has com- peted in every D.C.R.A. meet since 1922 and is a former Blsley snot. scored 9. perfect 25 to win the shootoff and beat: out 11 other rif- lemen who earlier in the day scor- ed 122 of 9. possible 125.

Ten rounds are fired in the match from the 300-yard range and 15 from 600 yards.

A few evenings ago I sat. in a boat. near the head of n large mill pond. As the sun sank behind the treesmnd dark shadows crept across the water broods of black ducks edged out. from the shoreline weed fringe into more open water. I spotted three broods aver- aging eight. or nine that followed their mother to the opposite side of the pond. It was hard to make an accurate count as the night sha- dows hung low over the water and the birds resembled a ragged line of large black corks drawn on a string. They'd string out and then bunch into knots. Two of the families were almost, as large as the

Semple then came back to drive his namesake to mother win in the second heat in the time of 2.14 4-5 The final heat was won by Willard Kelly's Milldnic.

Sam Kennedy's Cari Aubrey won top honors in the 2.21 Face by winning the first. and third heats. cnrl Aubrey came from far back in each heat to win.

Dean Swift won the second heat of the Pace and was on the way to winning the third when he broke at the top of the back stretch on the second trio around.
