NELSON RIFLE ASSOCIATION

13th ANNUAL MEETING,

The Nelson Rifle Association held another successful meeting yesterday, very good weather prevailing. Excepting when the eight men leading for the aggregate went down, the wind became very choppy, which puzzled the exchampions and put them right out of the running. Vice-President R. Ken ning won the Belt, with Rifleman 0. J. P. Howard and .Sergt. Frank a close second, Rifleman Howard winning the shoot off. The meeting was got through without a hitch or accident. Sergeant-Majors Colclough and Redmond, and Mr. F. Gledhill, secretary, are to be complimented on keeping things right up to date. The champion and runner-up both used B.S.A. aperture sights. Appended are the prizewinners 200 YARDS MATCH.
