Earl AVinterton, M.P., ivhohas just gone on a voyage to South Africa ior btneht el his health, has a lively sense of humour, and "nas recouniod ii ohoico story against liimself. Before succeeding to tue earldom he .was known as Lord Tumour, under which name he figured m some noisy scenes in the Ho use. ~ A few montiis after his father's death ho -was thus ad-drcss-jd at dinner by a ieliow-gues„:— "I ought to know you, but 1 can't recall your name." "Oh, I am Earl AYinlerton," was the reply. "of course, of course, said his neighbour at table. "Why, I have been couj founding you all the evening with that I ass Tumour." Tlie Defence Department's scheme j of, fonnuig district <a: group rifle clubs j associations in the military districts throughout New Zealand has not ap- : pearcd in n. favourable light to quite a number of riflemen ia Auckland. Go- . vernment control oi championship , meetings has ijequently been objected to, and the Auckland .Rifle Association i has refused to affiliate with the Aucfc- ; land District Rifle Association, which ; was recently formed by the Defence .aufciniritUs. S.-id one o' : the \u.ki.ini ; Association officials: "AA r e cannot see ! ivhy any Government or anybody should say how wo aro to spend our ; own money, especially when the Ge- ; vernment does so little. It gives the I men for class firing 100 rounds a 1 year, and 100 rounds a year is of no I earthly use to a iimi who d.;.sirOi= t" ! make himself a first-elass shot. " The ] objectors cannot see any reason for the I Government to run prize meetings for I which the men subscribe the "prize money.".
