BULLS LEWS

MINIATURE RIFLE SHOOTING. (From Our Own Correspondent.) BULLS, Sept. .6. On Tuesday evening the Ohakea Miniature Rifle Club journeyed over to Bulls in quest of tho McKolvio Cup which Bulls had taken from them, and in a most exciting match tho holdors were lucky to retain tho trophy, winning by tho narrow margin of two points. One of tho visitors dropped a snot in tho first rango and tho local team had an overwhelming lead of 17 points, but in tho second range Oliakca Club came to light with a phenomonal score of 548, being 15 up on the homo team. But for their misfortuno in the first rango Ohakea would have scored an easy victory, but they can console thom-solvos-with tho thought that th’ey put up tho record score of tho season, an average of 68.5 per man. Tho following are the detailed scores:—
