Lieut Bentou, of the Feathers ton Rifles, who tied lor first place for the Mayor’s Clack on Saturday had not a chance of completing his shooting as the final stage was fired oB on Monday morning early. It is a great pity that there is no proper organisation at these meetings for successfully carrying out the programme.

Retire protest entered against Lieut Davey the highest scorer in the Wellington match, was considered on Monday and he was disqualified fur firing out of his turn, come* quently the prize, by the rules, reverts tu the Association ; he also loses the stb aggregate prize £1 10s and a bronze medal.
