AORERE DEFENCE RIFLE CLUB. This Club had quite a “field” day at Rockville yesterday, commencing at 10.30 a.m. with rifle practise, and winding up in the early hours of this morning with a ball. SHOOTING. Quite a large squad of members of the Club assembled at the Range m the morning aud fired a match between the old aud the new members, which resulted in a wiu for the “ old bauds’’ by a margin of 43 points. Some very good individual scores were made, but the'firing as a whole was hardly up to standard, ['here was a fresh wind blowing, aud the weather was cold and showery. The following are the scores —ten shots at each range, possible 100). Old Members.

A private match between Messrs H. B. Riley aud J. Hickmott, the former winning by 4 points, and a scratch match between squads of six aside, helped to put in a long day’s useful practise. The Corps was in charge of the President, Mr G. Hickmott, senior. CONCERT. In the evening, at the Aorere Central Hall, the executive of the Club presented a very lengthy concert programme to a house crowded to the doors, notwithstanding that the heavy rain which set in about dark must have kept away some dozens of intending patrons, including quite a number from Collingwood. The efforts particularly of the Misses Malloy, Nalder aud Delaney, and Mr and Mrs Maden materially contributed towards the success of an eutertaiumeut which was of more than ordinary merit, and richly deserved the encomiums passed upon it.
