Favour went to those '? who shot first at 300 yards, as the weart ther became inclement and the light was decidedly poor nearing the conclul*" sion of the shoot. At 300 yards the wind * c varied from zero' to seven degrees right, ; o* but still worse at the longer range, the id variation being from 8 to 16 degrees. ’* The best score of the afternoon was reached bv Rifleman J. C- Carter, who incidentally won tho spoon competition, he was closely followed by Rifleman T. - Warburton. i The Petone Club have been consider- , ably strengthened by the enlistment of Jr R. C, Barkie, a member of the New Zea- ”■ land Team to Australia who has ese* tablished himself as a keen shot. *• The rain, which came down at the lat- -- ter part of the shoot, was a decided 58 deterrent to fine shooting, and under the circumstances the scoring on the whole : was very creditable, .Results of Saturday's shooting are:-
