THE BRUCE RIFLES.
LADIES' CHALLENGE SHIELD TEAM. The second competition by the Bruce Rifles for Ladies' Challenge Shield representatives took place last Wednesday morning at the butts. There were nine competitors present, and we noticed the absence of Lieut. Reid, wha thereby forfeits all chance of becoming one of the team. This is very much to be regretted, as he is undoubtedly one of the best shots in the company, and was almost certain to be a representative. The weather on Wednesday morning was very dull, with a light baffling wind from the rear, Which greatly interfered with the shootiug. The following are the highest scorers : —
200 400 500 Tl. Prvt. Clark 16 17 17 — 50 Grant 16 17 17 —50 „ Caider 15 17 16 —48 „ Moore 15 16 16 —47 Sergfc. jM'Latchie ... 15 16 16— 47 Capt. Sootfc 16 17 14 —47 Prvb, Matheaon ... 17 17 33 — 47 „ Tough 15 17 13 —45 The totals so far are — Clark and Grant, 99 each ; Scott and Matheaon, 97 ; Moore and M'La chic, 96 ; Caider, 95 ; and Tough, 92. To-morrow morning the thirl and final competition will take place.
