Godley, accompanied by Mrs. Godley and Lady Sybil Grey, paid another visit to .Trentham yesterday afternoon and watched the firing at the first range in the Service Championship Match. Shooting runs in families, it is said, but it is rarely that a father and two sons areseen in the King's Fifty. That is so this year, however, Mr. G. 'Loveday and his two sons gaining the dfsTtinction. H. Loveday, a younger son, takes second place, the father, G. Loveday is thirteenth, and Cpl. L. Loveday, a King's Prizeman of two years back, is No. 44 on the list. An error has been discovered in the official Bisley aggregate. Lieutenant H. Simmonds. of Blenheim, who was omitted from the original prizfi.-list, has 255 to his credit, entitling him to second place. •• s
