O. Mutch, with 102 and still to shoot, requires 100 to win. President J. Prendergast, who last week scored 101, started off for a good score with a fine 11 shot possible at 500, but crashed at 600yds., the dull light beating him. The following were the leading scores (conditions 11 shots at 500yds, 10 shots at 600 yds, and one optional sighter at. each ' range): —
