RIFLE SHOOTING
SUBURBS CLUB,
Afc Broadway, Miramar, on Saturday afternoon members of the Suburbs Defence Rifle Club fired a match over 300 and 600 yards. A light southerly breeze was not very troublesome, and the shooting conditions generally were rather good. Deputy-President H. R. Hunt and Riflemen C. Milroy and"J. Smart each made 47 at 300 yards. At 600 yards Rifleman F. Stacey shot with good judgment and compiled a useful 47. Rifleman C. Milroy added 45 to his aggregate and finished up with top rifle score for the day (92). The provision of an extra marker enabled members to terminate the match by 4.30 p.m. Competition for the various aggregates is very keen, and some very exciting finishes may be expected. Detailed scores are as follow: — 300 600 Hep. Tl. IP. Stacey , 44 47 7 .98 R. Mottram 43 43 7 93 C. Milroy 47 45 0 92 J. A. Bitters, 46, 42, 3—91; H. T. Peat, 44, .42, 5—81;-H. R.
