The following significant paragraph appears in District Orders in connection with the announcement of the awarding of the . Government medal for the best shot TflF Otago:--"No. 40 Corporal C. \V. Norris, Bluff Guard Rifle Volunteers, and No.-132 Sergeant J. R. Forrest, Alexandra South Rille Volunteers, having tied with 298 points, the Officer Commanding the District' recommended the awjird~.>of : the medal to Corporal Norris, on :,tso: grounds of the far greater general efficiency, of., the company and battalion to which he-belonged." Truly, this appears to us to ,be' rather an extraordinary way of deciding a shooting tie. It niay well lead to a perninent question of ,|,'Town versus Country" with the officer commanding the Otago military district despising the efforts of country volunteering. No wonder country corps are thinking of ' disbanding!
