LIEUTENANT DUNCAN'S SUCCESS

Brilliant shooting marked tho concluding meeting of tlio No. 1 regimental, district nt Pt'iiroso on Saturday. Thero wero approximately 400 individual competitors, R deereaso tif about 200 on last year's entries. However, there was a record number of competitors in tlio Vickcru nnd Lewis gun sections, 21 teams taking part, yliilo 21 teams also entered for the lido teams' competition. Tlio competitors tamo from a district extending from Swanson in tho North, to Otaluilm in tlio South. Most of tho senior cadets on tho hulls enmo from tlio Auckland Grammar School and othor secondary schools,, and from tlio artisan units. Weather condi-

tions wero pei'fect. In tho opinion of Major A. C. Finni3, Clticer in cluirgo, tlio scoring wan exceptionally high and compared very favourably with past performances. Particularly lino shooting was dono by Second-liioutenant lv. J. Duncan (C.U.0.) in tho rillo section, and Corporal V/. M. Tongue (C.1t.0.) in tlio Vickers gun section. Tlio Kohn Silver Cup, donated by Mr. A. Kohn for presentation to tlio Bitisan cadet making tho highest scoro in matches 3, 4, 5 and 6, was competed for for the first ilime, and was won by Corporal W. Brsicegirdlc, of the 22nd Company, with a scoro of 150. Tho Kohn Cup will henceforward bo competed for annually, tho winner to retain a miniature of the cup. Tho Kohn Trophy, a told modal awarded to tho senior cadet making tho highest scoro in matches 1 and 2, was won by Sergeant L. C. Rice, oi tho Auckland Grammar School, with a scoro of 88. This is the last occasion on which this trophy is to bo awarded, the miniature of tho cup superseding il; next year. A novel attraction that appealed to many was the "Bunnypool" range, and most of tho younger boys tried their skill on this difficult target. Abbreviations used in tho detailed results are as follows:—Auckland Grammar School, A.G.3. { Mount Albert Grammar School] M.A.G.S.; Soddon Memorial Technical College, Tech.
