COLONEL
BLAIR
WAS
IN
YUKON
King's
Prize
Winner
First
Tested
Skill
as
Marksman
In
North
VANCOUVER,
Sept.
6.
(By
the
Canadian
Press)
The
British
Em-
ner
of
the
King's
prize
and
grand
aggregate
at
Bisley
this
summer,
first
tested
his
skill
In
marksmanship
in
the
Klondyke
during
the
gold
rush
days.
"The
Klondyke
wasn't
the
typi
cal
hell-roaring
gold
camp
of
frontier
days,'
'said
Colonel
Blair.
"There
wasn't
the
gunplay
up
there
that
made
other
camps
no
torious,
but
those
who
had
guns
used
them,
and
mostly
In
a
very
peaceable
and
useful
way.
Instead
of
shooting
each
other
up,
we
used
to
rig
up
a
target
outside-
the
-bar
rooms
and
then
shoot
for
the
drinks.
It
was
one
pf
our
most
popular
sports."
i
That
was
merely
the
beginning
a
notable
career
as,,
marksman
for
Colonel
Blair,
who
has
distinguished
himself
at
a
score
of
rifle
meets.
Colonel
Blair
told
how
anyone
interested
in
rifle
shooting
would
naturally
be
interested
In
the
Bisley
meet.
"No
other
rifle
shooting
competition
has
so
much
color
as
Bisley,"
he
said.
"Tmy,
It
Is
an
interesting
spectacle.
Representatives
attend
from
all
parts
of
the
Empire
and
one
met
many
old
friends
and
made
new
ones
at
this
meet.
Canada's
success
at
Bisley
this
year
was
due
in
large
measure
to
the
fitness
of
the
men
holding
the
rifles
and
to
the
ability
of
the
team
coaches,
according
to
Colonel
Blair.
