N.Z.R.A. MEETING.
(Per United Press Association.) TEENTHAM, March 10. The weather is very fine this morning, with scarcely any wind, and better shooting resulted in the first event of the day, the final range of the Fime Mc?i Toamri Match, in which Wilson (Petonc Rifle Club No. 2) made the possible. The Opaki No. 1 Rifle Club were favourites from the start, and justified the opinion by topping the totals by 11 points.

Followed the Teams' Match, starting at the 500 yards. The weaiher was perfect, and at this range ami 600 yards the shooting showed great improvement, and was consistently goodl Though no "possfbles" were made, JJic scoring demonstrates that the men can shoot quite as well without all 'the paraphernalia allowed in the other matches as with it, for no extraneous aids were •allowdd. Causley and Maingay made all outers at 500 yards; Cliing made 33 at 600 yards, and there were several 32's and 31's. Cliing and Winslade scored 64 each at the two ranges, which was top score. There were numerous 62's.' The 200 yards will be fired this afternoon; each range 7 shots.
