MINIATURE RIFLE SHOOTING

TEAMS' CHAMPIONSHIPS The completion of another round of matches marks another stage in teams championships and also in the individual championship points in both grades. With only one, two, or three matches for each team to be fired some exceedingly close and interesting finishes are anticipated. This particularly applies to the first half-dozen in the A grade and the first four in the B grade individual placings. Regarding the teams championship, the results as they appear in the A grade competition are not likely to be materially altered, but the finish of the B grade competition would be difficult to forecast, and as the winning team in this grade is due for promotion to A grade next season, the contest between C.F.H. No. 1 and Citizens’ No. 1 teams (both having lost only one match to date), which is to be fired on Hudson’s range on September 11, will be looked forward to with interest. The positions of the teams at present are as follow: A GRADE.

The loaders in tlic individual championships in both grades are ■as follows: A GRADE.
