In the duck shoot the birds remained more or less low for the first 20 minutes. 
Some of the butts were nearly 2 miles’ walk from the edge of the lake. Conse- 
quently although people walked as fast as they could, the bugle for the com- 
mencement sounded 10 minutes before they could get to the butts. After 
this gun cases had to be opened so that some of the best part of the shooting 
was missed. *
