VOLUNTEER FIRING.
TRADESMEN'S PRIZES. The firing for the above by the Napier Artillery Company took place yesterday morning, at the Tutaekuri range, at 7 o'clock. The weather was all that could be desired. There were 30 competitors, and the firing was not completed till 10 o'clock. The shooting was very good considering the number that took part in it. Gunner Ross, as will be seen by the score, took first prize, with a score of 34 points, 4 over centres, and Gunner Sturm the last (tin plate and spoon).
