Tho Wellington Match, at 500 yds., was commenced in a dull, but rather good, light, but with a tricky drift wiud, which called for an ■allowance of.about three degrees. Later, about ialf-past ten, the breeze freshened from ho rear, but kept .fairly steady. The shooting again was generally.of,'a high order, although an exception was Rifleman Milroy, who was leading, with Col.-Sergt. Higgins, for the aggregate. The Nelson champion rung on only 36 points, and he was .passed by Fte. Mackay, of Dunedin, who made the first "possible" of the morning. The Dunedin man started with a "magpie." as his sighting shot, and then' piled .ten consecutive shots well into the bull'seye., Pte. W. Jackson, Linwood Rifles, was the second'marksman to achieve a similar honour, and then followed, later, Capt. Potter, Auckland, and Pte. Fisher, .Wellington,' and Rifleman Halliday, Karon, each with the coveted ten bull's-eyes. . Amongst 1 those who made 49's in the first stages of the match were Pte. Grindell, Napier, ,who followed this up later with 4G at the GOO yds. range, which made him winner with a total of-95 out of , a possible 100. Tho same match was. won last year by Lieut: Bolton, with 91 points. . Other. 49's were by Rifleman WiUoughby, Gladstone; Pte. Patrick, Auckland; while 48's we're made by Sergt. Rait, Gisborne; Pte. Winterbottom, Dunedin; Capt. Rearle, Dnnedin; Lient Hollard, Petono; Sergt Morgan, Auckland. Sergt' Ching, Nelson, made 47; Rifleman G. Hyde,. Opaki, 39. . An ..excellent scoring-board at the 500 yds. range of v this match was as follows. —

Law, Dannevirke, and Feasey, Wellington, 47; and Pte. Farley, Auckland, Rifleman Marshall, Karori, JSfarbey, Duvauehelles, each 46.
