+-----------------------+----+-----+----+-----+-----+-----+
Mrs. Horniblow won the silver bracer with the highest score, as there
was a tie between her and Mrs. Kinahan in points. This was said to be
the case at the time, but it does not appear to have been so from the
published scores, as Mrs. Horniblow had the advantage by one-half a
point. Mrs. Horniblow appears to have won 2 points for gross score, 1
point for a tie with Mrs. Kinahan for total hits, and one-half a point
for a tie with Mrs. E. Lister for hits at 50 yards--total, 3-1/2 points.
Mrs. Kinahan won 2 points for hits and score at 60 yards, and 1 point
for the tie in total hits--her total being only 3 points. Miss Betham
won 1 point for score at 50 yards. The annual report of this meeting was
never issued by the Hon. Secretary, the Rev. O. Luard, so the actual
state of the case cannot now be made certain. Of course there may have
been an error in the unofficial accounts published.
Mr. W. Rimington won the Champion's gold medal with the highest score,
as there was a tie in points between him and Captain C. H. Fisher, each
having won 4 points. Mr. W. Rimington won 1 point for score at 100
yards, 1 point for score at 60 yards, and 2 points for gross score.
Captain C. H. Fisher won 2 points for score and hits at 80 yards, and 2
for most total hits. Mr. E. A. Holmes won 1 point for hits at 60 yards,
and Mr. O. K. Prescot one point for hits at 100 yards.

On this occasion it was decided by the Committee that in future the
Champion honours at their meetings should be decided by gross score and
not by points. A handsome silver cup, value 50 guineas, collected by
small subscriptions from numerous archers, was presented on July 29 to
Mr. C. M. Caldecott, of Holbrooke Grange, near Rugby, who had acted for
many years as judge at these meetings.
Only thirty-six ladies and sixty-nine gentlemen shot at this meeting.
