.:■' -, —4 _■:.■ ■ ; ANNUAL MEETING,. The annual meeting of the Wellington District Defence Rifle Clubs' Association was held at the Central Drill-shed last - night. Mr. F. J. Lissington presided. The annual report (already published) was adopted.

Field, M.H.R.- (re-elected); president, Dr. Mason (re-elected); vice-presidents, Messrs. F J. Lissington, W. H. Ballingcr, \\: J. Welch, F. W. Cpnnoll, W. H. Tisdall, W. A. Grace, W. E.
