SHOOTING COMPETITION — D COY. (NEWTON-STEWART.)

The concluding monthly shooting competition of this company took place on Saturday at Knockbrex range. The weather while warm and bright was, nevertheless, unfavourable to good shooting, owing to a strong fluky wind from the right rear, which prevailed all the afternoon. The scoring was in consequence below the average. The distances on this occasion were 300 and 600 yards, 7 rounds at each, N.R.A. targets and scoring. The following are the prize winners: —1, Bugler Thos. Walsh; 2, Sergeant Thos. Agnew; 3, Sergt. James Anderson; 4, Corpl. John Agnew; 5, Private Wm. Love; 6, Priv. Robert Agnew; 7, Sergt. John McFarlane; 8, Private William Campbell; 9, Corpl. James Owen.
