V The results of this Competition were not published u11til early i11 January and did not reach ns until some Weeks later. The delay was dn-e to the large entry from all parts of the Flnnpire and the long work of checking the targets. The total number of boys competing was 16,786 representing 622 eorps. Of these units Canada furnished 67 with a total of 2,142 boys. And it is gratifying to note that the highest proportion of expert shots 'came from this country. The conditions, under .whieh this Competition is shot, were changed in l924 to concentrate on mass efficiency in- stead of produeing small lC3lllS -of expert shots as in former years. The Senior Shield, award-ed to the eorps in which Senior Cadets predominate, is based on the combined seore of both Senior and Junior Cadets. to which is added a handicap allow- anee ot' .025 per ead-et in ex-.C-ess of 50. In this eonnpetition the results were as follows: l. New Zealand 649 Senior, 26 Jnniorl net average 65.337, handieap .ti2, gross average of 88.99 per eent. 2.

Finals. Middleweight. Burns max. heat London. Although the latter fought very pluekily Burns was older, more experiena-ed and taller. and won fairly easily. ' Vlfelterweight. Cartwright heat Lazier. This bout was exeellent. lloth boys boxed well and the hout was not won until the final gong. In the first round Cartwright gained a margin ehietly by getting under llJi1Zl6l'7S guard hy rights to the hody and at the same time by countering -effectively his opponents speedy attacks. In the seeond round the hout continued fast with Fart- wright ou the defensive, showing real seienee hy drawing his opponent 's attawk and avoiding the same with mininuun of effort, thus multiplying its effect, and then eouuteriug quiek- ly. There was no slowing' up in the third round. llazier made a good point, hut C'artwright quickly shook oit the ettet ts of this and retained the lead whieh he had gained earlier. Lightweight. Gwyn heat Burns ma. This was also a good hout. The three rounds did not seem long enough to luring out their best, for hoth hoys defended themselves earefully to the ex- elusion of initiative and attaek. Hwyii, although having the longer rea-ch, did not make proper use ol' it, and hettered Burns' seore hy only a small margin. Featherweiglit. Stone heat Martin ma. This hout, postponed heeause Martin was ill, was quite up to standard. Stone won on points. Bantamweight. Kiugsmill heat llefries. The lattery although having a better style, was not ahle to ward oti' the rushing taetits adopted by his opponent, who gained the vel-diet on points.

TRINITY COLLEG E SCIIOOL RlCl'ORiI3 19 In passing it will be observed that the Sm-bool is ineligible to compete for the Junior Shield as our eorps will invariably have more Senior than Junior Cadets. To obtain seeond plaee in sueh a world-wide -eompetitiou is a performance of a high order and we enthusiastieally eon- gratulate th-e boys and Sergt. Maj. Batt. From the results obtained in these competitions an Ilon- ours List of the best 50 eorps in the Empire is drawn up. Ranking in this list is based on the handicap pei-.fentage, as given above, irrespective of the proportion of Senior and Junior Cadets. In this group VVingham takes first plaee C24 Senior, 56 Juniorsj with a score of 93.61. Cthis eorps won the Junior Shieldl, and the School ranked sixthl. A third Honours List of the best 100 teams or units Cwith a llllllflllllllll strength of 10 to qualifyl is drawn up. The standing is based on the net seore without referenee to pro- portion of Senior or Junior Cadets. In this list the St-bool ranked 27th. It will be seen that in this list a small unit has an ad- vantage over a large one. South Afriwa ranking lst. has a platoon ot' 25: Hreat Britain 2nd. has a troop of 33. ete., whereas we fir-e as arom- plete Corps of 100 strong. The leading Canadian unit in this list is VVinnipeg with a tiring of 80 Juniors, whieh took 3rd. pla-ee. The standard' of shooting eontinues to improve.
