SHOOTING.

DUNEDIN HIGHLAND IIIFLES v. I p TI.MARU CITY. is The annual match, Timaru City Rifles v. \ " Dunedin Highland Rifles was fired on 0 the latter's range on Christmas morning. s The changeable light and gusty wind ■ which prevailed made shooting very difli- ! cult. In the absence of Captain Dempster, i who had to leave the range early, Sergt. Melville formally welcomed the visitors. Captain Hoys, in reply, thanked Sergt. Melville for his kind remarks, and congratulated the local team on their win. Three cheers for both teams were, then given. On Boxing Day the two teams held a. picnic af Hroad Bay. The showery weather prevented anything in the- way of sports being carried out. but. the outing w;ls voted an entire success. The con- j ditions of the match were. :—Eleven men a 1 side : lowest score counted out ; seven shots and two sighters at 200 yds and 500vds. Scores : —Highland Rifles.—
