RIFLE MATCH.
CITY RIFLES V. H.M.S. CURACOA. The return match between teams from the above, took place at the Mount Eden range on Saturday, when the City Rifles were the victors by 46 points. The shooting of both teams showed an improvement on that of the first match when the totals were : City. Rifles 719, Curacoa 619. It is just possible that after the Curacoa's men have finished the course of musketry instruction which commences to-day, another match will be arranged and very possibly the Curasoa's team will be victorious. The following are the scores : — CITY 111 FLICS TEAM. 200 yds 600 yds 600 yds XI. Lieutena'it White ..30 30 32 92 Sergeant Rose .. .. 3» 2!) 31 90 Private F..
