(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
.-O AMARU,' March 9. Major Sommerville has completed the arrangements for trains to run out with the competitors at the Rifle Sleeting each morning, and bring them back to town in the evening. The rauge is close to the railway line. A telegraph line will not be constructed, bat bicycles will run at intervals in to the Telegraph Office in town. The rauge is about completed. It is laid off so as to protect the competitors from much of the inconvenience resulting from shooting with the eun shining in the eyes, and the targets have the sea as a background to the range. The idea of entertaining the visitors at a picnic or other function has been abandoned, as the Government declines to bear any part of the expense.
