Consequently, the contest will be between the Chnstchurch and Auckland representatives. lie conditions .ire 12 men a-side, 10 shots at 300 yds and 10 shots at 500 yds. Each team will fire on its own range. In future, however, if such matches become annual fixtuies, it is probable that the competing teams will shoot on the, one range.
