A Running Commentary on the Final of the King's Prize by C'apt. E. H. ROBINSON Relayed from the 1,000 Yards Range. Bisley Camp
THE King's Prize at Bisley is. quite strictly speaking. the ' blue riband ' of the world of marksmanship. It is to rifle-shooting what the Wimbledon Singles Championship is to lawn tennis ; what the Diamonds is to sculling: what the American Cup is to yacht-racing. Bisley brings together marksmen— picked marksmen-from all over the world, and the cream of them compete in the battle royal for the King's Prize. Its winner, one'may be certain, has attained the highest possible excellence of marksmanship. This afternoon the final of the King's Prize will be contested at Bisley. and the first news of the result, with an account of all the preceding events, will be broadcast by Captain E. H. Robinson , late R.A.F., who himself won the King's Prize in 1923.
