The firing was not so good as was expected on account of the strong southerly wind which was blowing a gale at the time, stirring clouds of dust, and making it impossible to take a correct aim. Sergt. Ansell won the range prize at 400, with a score of 20 points ; Sergt. Camp won the 500, with a score of 20 points. Lt. Morgan superintended the firing. The folfnwincr wpi-a t.lifi winners :—
