N.Z. RIFLE ASSOCIATION MEETING.
[by telegraph.] Rifle Camp, Nelson, March 1. The members of the Rifle Association, together with all the local companies, mustered for church parade yesterday,, arid attended the Cathedral Church. This morning all the members arrived in camp at about 10 o'clock, and the morning has jbeen occupied in the men getting into quarters. At 2 o'clock there will be parade, at 3.30 the first match will be commenced. The arrangements for firing are completed, the ranges being almost the same as last year ; but it is probable that a longer time will be taken in mark-ing-the shots, on accounts of altering the butts with a view of increasing the protection of the markers. Col. Packe is in command, and Major Lean is Camp Adjutant, whilst Capt. Webb is acting as Secretary, Mr. Stevens being unable to attend. •;
