"' . This match commenced after nine o'clock. Men were formed into five squads under the usual squad officers. The shooting, on the whole, was good; the 200 yard range being completed, at noon, the firing stopped for dinner. The protest, it is rumored, against Skinner, was considered last night by the officer commanding, but the decision will not be made known until the presentation of the belt and prizes. It is. also »Aid that Skinner has admitted that the sight was filed, but not by him. The day was not over bright, with a little wind blowing. From the scores it will be seen that the superiority of the cartridges used by the

men in this match enabled them to make better shooting, as eack man pleased, himself as to what ammunition he used, and none used the same as that supplied bjr the Government daring the Champion matches.
