SHOOTING.
Saturday's shooting match between a team of ten from the Submarine Mining Corps, Wellington, and a similar team from the Palmerston Guards resulted in a win for the visitors by 43. Tho weather was fine and the match was thoroughly enjoyed by both teams, although the shooting was not of a very brilliant order. The ranges fired at were 200 and 500 yards. The following are the results: —
Ever since the world began, man has been contriving instruments for the reproduction of sound. Nature's sweetest music—the sighing of wind through reeds, the laughter of a brook, or the lapping of waves —these have caused men to stop and ponder. We see the result in such' instruments as the violin, the harp, the flute. But most effective of all, perhaps, is the piano. Imprisoned within its four walls hide the magic works which breathe forth the harmonies of tho world. Almost anything can. be achieved on tho piano; it is the triumph of the musical world ! Just to run one's fingers along the keys of an instrument such as the Broo.dwood, the Ronisch, or the Lipp is a supreme delight. The Dresden Piano Company, Wellington, who are the agents for these, andindeed every instrument of high repute, will gladly tell you about their easy timepayment system, which makes it simple for everyone to possess this kind of instrument —the piano. Local agents, G. H. Bennett and Co., the square.—Advt.
