Franklin, of Weber, who had tied for the Carbine Cup .in the Volunteer and Rifle Club Matches with 96 points each, fired off i.five shots at 800 yards yesterday, morning; , V The result was a victory for Captain Kinc, who scored 24 points (54555) as against'll points (40025) by his rival. In his first'shotCaptain Eisg scored a bull's-eye, following with an inner .'and three'bulls,, missing tho. possible (25) by one point, a fine performance. Franklin, was probably nervous at having to,enftr the lists against such an old campaigner, and lie shot badly., Ho first registered an inner and then twice missed the target. He finished with an outer and a' bull, his total scoro being .11. Captain 'King's' exceptional record as a rifle - snob -was.' re-' ferred to in yesterday's, issue of . The .
