“From a comparison of tlio two tables it will be 
seen that with Walker's shot, Messrs .Scott’s guns 
showed a marked niperloiiti/ over Mr. Greener’*, 
both in average and in the highest score made. In- 
deed, with the left barrel, in hi* third shot, Mr. Scott 
got a selected group pattern of 239 and a penetration
