respectively. 
In the cup shoot the targets are thrown as 15 singles and 5 
pairs. . ■ 
The day was a trying one for target shooting, there bein^ a 
strong southwest wind blowing directly across the traps which ■ 
caused the targets to soar and dip badly at times. The' attend 
ance was not up to our average, only twenty-three shooters show- 
ing up for the afternoon, that being our low water mark on 
attendance for the year so far. Many of our members are now 
^oing away on their annual vacations, and we don't expect so 
large an attendance S3 we have been having until after the middle
