THE PRIZE RIFLE FIRING.
The firing for the district prizes took place yesterday, at the range of the Rifle Volunteer Company, on the beach. The weather was unfavorable. A strong wind blew during the firing at the 400-yard range, and heavy showers fell during that at the 500. There was also a very heavy surf on. We subjoin the total score of each competitor : — Capt. Kennedy 37 Corporal M'Kain 36 " Northe ... 36 Capt. Buchanan 34 ' Private Cresswell 34 " Collinge 32 " A.lrvine 32 " W. Smith 31 « W.Parker 31 l " Caulton 31 I " Garry 30 « C.Villers... 28 I " P.

The firing for the inland district comes off to-morrow.
