An unfortunate bungle has happened in connection with bheChampion Teams match. Tho regulations provide that the scoring cards in different matches whoae aggregates make up the Champion Team match should bo handed in when tho prize lißb is issued. The Queensland team was placed first, though the New Zealand team scored 23 points more than the former, they neglected to hand in the scoring cards as provided above. It is not yet known whether the Council of the Association will revise the list.

Riflo Club match of ten shots at 500 and 600 yardß; open to teams of five men : The Auckland Club takos bhe firsb prize, £50, with a Bcore of 381, and the New Zealand team fifth prize of £15 with a score of 360, bub the question of eligibility crops up as in the Champion match.

The Council of the New South Wales Rifle Association has fined the New Zealandors for a breach of tho regulations in the Champion Team match, and has awarded them the first prize in the Rifle Club match. Tho' MartiniHenry Rifle Club, of Petono, Wellington, has been awarded fifth prize. The question reserved was one of bona fides.

An analysis of the prize lisb for the week shows that the New Zealand competitors carried off 48 individual prizes, exclusivo of the prizes in the continuous matches.

For the intercolonial match, which will bo fired to-morrow, ten men a-side, 500, 600 and 700 yards, fifteen-shots at each range, the New Zealand team is the favourite.
