THE TRENTHAM MEETING.

YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. ! (rBESa ASSOCIATION TEI-CGRAiI.) TRENTHAM, March 4. Tho conditions were almost ideal for tho shooting to-day, when tho competitors went en the mounds, and tho marksmanship at tho 800 yds range in tho Otago Match was excellent. .No fewer than seven possibles wero recorded, and eight "all-buts" were returned. Tho "possibles" were scored by Pickering (Linton), White (Auckland), Carter (Nebon), Clark (Rangitikei), Flynn (Auckland). lia.ll (Linton), and H. Loveday (Ohura). Much interest attached to Oliver's shooting, as he was leading in tlio aggregates after tho close of yesterday's firing. Ho secured a useful ■it at the shorter range, but fell nil to pieces at the Joooyds range, his board reading 0342"J31 lot> —"i". It should bo stated that the wind increased considerably after the men had commenced at the lOvOyds range, and two competitors completely failed to find tho target. The Taranaki Match, ten shots at 1000 yds, the semi-iinal for the belt, was fired alter lunch in bright sunshine, and a light rear wind, and again the experienced marksmen held their own. On the Sommerville range the best score was made by Mansfield. He secured -1 for his siguier, which he retained, and, with the exception of one three, the remainder of his .score was made up ot bull's-eyes.
