FIRING WITH BALLCARTRIDGE.
[BY TELEGRAPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Masterton, Sunday. During the encampment of the Masterton Rifle Cadets, on the show ground, complaints were made by residents in the vicinity that firing with ball cartridge had taken" place. Captain Norton was called upon by the A. and P. committee, and pointed out that they held a Morris-tube competition, the ammunition being Gaudet's .303 practice ammunition, which was used at a range of 25yds, and was completely harmless at 80yds, and is in use in most drill-halls, and many private residences in the colony. The committee, however, decided to prohibit ball practice of any kind in future.
