RIFLE SHOOTING.

KAITANGATA DEFENCE CLUB. The Kaitangata Defence Rifle Club fired the second shoot of the second competition for the Lee Cup on Saturday. The conditions were fairly good, a clear though dull light and a breeze which did not vary much made it easier shooting for some than usual, though at one part of the afternoon the breeze was fishtailing, and spoiled a few scores. Three ties were decided at the close of the day’s shoot. Three competitors had to shoot for two places in the first competition; two for third in the Cooke Cup match and two for third place in a club match. J. H. Frazer secured second and W. Carson third in the first competition, F. Carson beat J. Kyle in the Cooke Cup match lie, and J. Maekie defeated J. H. Frazer for the club match. J. H. Frazer is. still leading for the championship with 491, W. Carson 483 and F. Carson 476 being his nearest attendants. For the Lee Cup, with five shoots gone, the positions of the leaders are as follows: —J. H. Frazer 319, AV. Carson 310, R. Kitto 309, F. Carson, G. Frazer, and W.
