piece of work under the conditions. He broke 48 out 
of his last 50 shot a.t and finished high after a rather 
bad start. Scores were made as follows:

A blazing fire in the large open fire-.place in the club 
ouse was most welcome to the members of the Nemours 
Trapshooting Club yesterday afternoon, between shoots. 
In spite of the bright sunshine a biting, high wind 
gave the shooters an uncertain chase for their targets, 
for it persisted in either flattening or raising them at

Wilson, vice-president of the club, proved most inviting 
to the ladies as they gathered round the fire to chat and
