On Monday evening the Returned Soldiers’ Small-bore Rifle Club completed another snap shooting match, and finalised the novelty shoot, 'A Trip to Timnru.” The scores in the snap shooting were: W.

In tlie final stage of the novelty shoot, W. Meikle, J. Allan, and G. Ferens were all packed and ready to move when the “guard’s whistle blew.” W. Meikle, at Otuio, required a 93 to take him to Timaru, J. Allan and G, Ferens, waiting at Makakitn, required 94 each to pass Pareora, where they were liable to run into trouble. W. Meikle, evidently the more experienced traveller, managed to arrive safely at Timaru. with a good 93, and won the competition.
