TRENTHAM RIFLE RANGE
"TRICKIEST IN THE WORLD." SYDNEY, March 20. Lieut. Dakin, secretary of the Rifle Association, on being interviewed, said that~the Australian team had formed the opinion that the Trentham rifle range was the trickiest range in the world. The team'was puzzled and beaten entirely by the conditions prevailing during the meeting. The 'changes "of light and their effects on the elevation were such as the men had never had the slightest experience of here. , Under the prevailing ..conditions he considered that the score made by the New Zealanders would have beaten any team, in the world. On any Australian range he would not have the slightest fear with the same team, which under normal conditions here would prove equal to any New Zealand team. The general appointments .at Trentham were excellent, especially as regards 'the telephone, which was e.o up to date as to put the Australian' ranges to shame.
