RIFLE SHOOTING
PETONE RIFLE CLUB.
The Petone Rifle Club flred the opening match in the long range series on Saturday with two shoots of ten rounds each at SOO yards. The conditions generally were good, and the scores were mostly consistent and at times good. There was a very good attendance. The outstanding scores were N. Craig 49, A. Ballinger and W. M'lver 48, A. O'Donnell (twice), W. H. Ballinger, D. J. Outney, and A. Ballinger 47; N. Craig, with handicap, was top, and also wins the C Spoon; W. M'lver and A. O'Donnell both win A spoons; and H. L. Rulo the B spoon.
The veteran champion, A. Ballinger, again topped the score, and is shooting as well as at any period of his career, and must be reckoned with for the championship. Details: —
