Ross f69 Govenlock 466 King and Cutler were creeping up. King got a "buH," and so did Halliday, Cutler* a 4, Ross a 5, and Govenlock a 2, the score reading: — Halliday 480 King 47/ Cutler 4/5 Ross 474 For King to win Halliday would have to miss, but he scored a magpie and placed the belt beyond doubt, the large crowd behind his mound loudly applauding. King finished with a "bull," and Cutler with a 4, the finish being:— Halliday 483 King 482 Cutler 479 Ross 479 Instead of firing off the tie Cutler and Ross tossed a penny to see who would take third prize, Ross' winning. Captain Sotheran, who started in the forty-sixth place, made a fine shoot, one off the possible, and finished seventh. President Masefield finished 22nd, having made only 26. He missed the target with his sighter, and his score read: 4033450034. He started with a score of 435, and finished with 461, or 22 behind Halliday. He wins a badge and £2. A. SPORTSMANLIKE SPEECH. At the conclusion of the Empire Match Lieutenant Dak en, Commander of the New South Wales team, heartily congratulated the New Zealanders on their win. "The score which you made/ he said, "would beat any team in the world tinder the conditions we have been firing under. The conditions are unusual to us, but we are quite prepared to admit you have the better men, and we are all glad to see the best men win. I can only again offer our hearty congratiilations on your magnificent victory." Mr Dakin also took the opportunity of thanking the Dominion Rifle Association, on behalf of the National Rifle Association of New South Wales, for what he described as the splendid manner in which the team had been treated during their stay. All the officials had shown every possible kindness, and, apart from the weather conditions, their stay had been an exceedingly pleasant one. He specially referred to the courtesy and attention shown by Camp Quartermaster Captain Mabin. The team gave three very hearty cheers for the New Zealanders, and one for Colonel Collins. Colonel Collins said that naturally he was very pleased that New Zealand had won. He would like to have seen better weather conditions, and he thought Trentham might have been more generous to the visitors. He reminded the1 team that the New Zealanders who had recently gone across to New South Wales had been treated with great kindness. (Hear, hear.) He hoped it would not be the last match fired between the two countries—that there would be many such, if not in Wellington or Sydney, then in other places—and we wanted to see the matches between the Commonwealth States and New Zealand continued. He called for three cheers for the visitors, which were heartily given, and one for their commander. UNITED SERVICE MATCH.
