Harvard Shooting Club.

WEEKLY SHOOT YESTERDAY.The weekly shoot of the Harvard Shooting Club was held yesterday afternoon at Watertown. The rules governing one of the matches have been changed for the purpose of making the scores more even, and the scores surpassed even the hopes of the directors. Heretofore the handicap in match B has consisted of birds given to those who were not prize winners. Yesterday the men shot at different distances, according to their averages in former matches. The result was that the scores, though even, with the exception of the two highest, were rather low; two and three predominating. Three matches were started with the following score:

MATCH A-FIVE ENTRIES.C. Greene, 8

R. H. Post, 4
