KIFLE SHOOTING ■•. ■ ■' ■ ■•.. ♦ ' — -■ SUBURBS CLUB I The Suburbs Defence Rifle Club fired a practice match over 300, 500, and 600 yards at Trcntham on Saturday. Typical Trentham weather was experienced, and the scores suffered accordingly. The scores are not a. good indication, of the merits of the riflemen, many of whom took advantage of the practice to experiment with ammunition, rifles, etc: The weekly teams match was "won by W. G. JTeUingham's team, with the score of 317. Results:— ' 300. 500 000 yds. yds. yds. Tl. L. Fellingham 34 33 29 '96 T. Goodall 30 34 30 94 R. Churcher 31 27 2S 86 K. Blair 27 27 31 85 L.

' • ■ WELLINGTON ASSOCIATION At the recent annual meeting of the Wellington Rifle Association the following officers were deleted:—Patron, the Hon. the Minister of Defence; vice-pat-ron, the- Officer Commanding the Central Command, Colonel I"1.

That the usual high standard of marksmanship was maintained throughout the season %s evidenced by the performances oFmemosrs of the association at the various prize meetings. Wellington again had the distinction of having the winner of the King's Prize in Rifleman H. V. Croxton, who has now won this coveted honour on three occasions. Only one representative match was fired during the season, when' two teams representing the association met and defeated two teams representing the Australian Naval Squadron. The annual competition for the Union Shields between teams representing the various • clubs in the association resulted in Karori winning the Senior Shield and Old Nayals the Junior. As all targets and equipment on the Trentham range have now been repaired or renewed, the present season should prove even more successful. OLD NAVALS. CLUB The Old Nayals Defence Rifle Club fired at 300, 500, and. 600 yards on Saturday, the shoot counting for the Rabe Cup, j President's Cup, and the fifth round of the first series. Owing to/a difficult head wind scoring was very mediocre. The result of the President's Cup competition was a tie as follows:—President W. Mcßain 87, Rifleman F. Monk 87. Riflemen M. Hugo 85 and P. Franklyn. 85 were runners-up. Scores:— 300 500 .600 Yds. Yds., Yds. Hp. Tl. W. Mcßain .... 26 31 30 5 92 M. Hugo ....... 27 30 28 6 91 F. Monk ...... 33 30 24 3 90 J. Stephens .... 29 25 28 8, 90 F.
