MINIATURE RIFLE SHOOTING. A match for the AlcKelvie Cup was fired at Bulls on Friday night between Bulls (holders) and Feilding clubs, Bulls retaining the trophy with the splendid total of 1090, Feilding only putting on 1063, and being defeated by the good margin of 27 points. For the winners, double possibles were scored by L. Anderson and N. Amon. L. Huddleston also shot well, with a brace of 69’s, and R. McKenzie’s 138 included a single possible. Feilding’s score d.id not contain a possible, but the visitors (after being 24 down on the first range) shot up well at their second attempt, improving from 521. to 542. a really good score for a new club.
