RIFLE MATCH.

The rifle match between the Christchurch City Guards and No. 2 Company Prince Albert's Light Infantry, Bath, took place at Hillsborough Bange on Saturday afternoon. The firing was commenced at 2 p.m. The afternoon was bright, but very cold, and the ground very damp. Owing to the number of shots fired, the match was not finished until 4.45 p.m., the light being then so bad that it was with some difficulty the men could see the target. This fact will account for the low score made at the last range. The conditions were ten men aside; ranges 200, 300, 400 and 500 yards; seven shots at each range; position, any; no sighting phot; Wimbledon targets and scoring. The following are the 6cores :—
