I'r:« ; Ta;:,xu School Cadets uxcd for the North Island challenge shield on Tuesday at .'he Tararu range, ad very good shooting was made at the fine i, I wo ranges, but owing to a strong. breeze springing up during the firing at the 20 )ydss fchu total score made was somewhat reduced, and not quite up to last year's shooting by the same company. Th? scores were as follows:—Sergeant. Bob. oson, 61; Colour-Sergeant Schofield, 59; Corporal Sparke, 56 ; Corporal Challis, 57 ■;•'. Corporal Smith, 55; Private Ludwig, 59;..' Private Andrew, 56; Private Poulgrain,ss; Private Ellis 53; Corporal Bennet 52. The strong breeze springing up dr.;i-;f;j the later portion.' of the firing- was very unfortunate for this corps, as from the shooting at the first: two ranges it is very likely they would have iv i a good chance of winning the trophy had ,''e weather continued moderate.
