The.ctf fekfeti match'linndtinced for Saturday did not come off, but as there were a good many players present, excellent practice "was htfd^ The ground appeared to be in good condition* ' Volunteers in 'Hawerft will be glad, to learn that the new rifle range was laid off this morning. , It has been decided to erect two targets, one for the 200 and 300 yards, and the other for the 400 yards ' range, and this morning also. The positions of the targets and marking butts, &c. were pegged ofl. As no fatigue , party turned up on Saturday, the officers will no doubt, be forced to employ labor to carry out the work, a circumstance not very creditable to the corps. • A deputation of Normanby residents — consisting of Messrs. C. E. Gibson, Beresford, F. Hunger, -and F. H.,Brett— waited upon ihe ' ' Reserves Trustee to-day, and urged him t6 press on the leasing and settlement of the Tirotiromoana reserve. Mr. Mackay received the deputation very cordially, and. explained how anxious he was ,to further the objects of the deputation in every way. ( The difficulty, however, was this; that portions of certain reserves were already leased by the natives to - private individuals, qnd until those •leases, if there were any on this reserve, had' been' confirmed, or the reserve declared'clear of leases by the "West Coast Commissioner, he (Mr. Mackay) could not deal with it. Matters having been talked over, the deputation thanked Mr. Mackay for the courteous reception and frank explanation given.
