DISTRICT RIFLE CONTROL.

■ A CAMPAIGN FOB FUNDS. A meeting of tho Executive Committee of tho Wellington Eiflo Association was held at tho Drill Hall last evening, President H. Marshall (Karori Rifle Club) in tho chair, to discuss a proposal by the chairman to hold a picture show in tho Town Hall to raise funds. Outlining his scheme Mr. Marshall mentioned that tho association last'year had given the best prize list and programme yet put on for a Wellington meeting. As it was tho function of a rifle association to encourage rille shooting as far as possible, he hoped this year to see the association improve on this, and place several matches on tho programme for cadets. Hayward's Picture Enterprise, Ltd., had generously offered to supply a programme of films free of charge. Mr. J. Turner seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. A strong and enthusiastic sub-committee was set up to carry out the project, tho members being: President Marshall (Knrori) chairman, Rifleman 11. 0. Browne (Karori) secretary, Lieutenant C. fiasquoine, assistant secretary, President Hobbs (Eastbourne) treasurer, Major M>athioson, Lieutenants Hugo and Nicholson (senior cadets'!, .Major Beere, Lieutenants Bolton, Wilkinson, Miller, and Kenny (sth Regiment), President Burridge (Potono), Gallichan (Suburbs), Macdoiiald (Highland), Deputy-Presidents Judd (Karori), Mr. Laclilan (Potone), Newton (Suburbs), Shannon (Highland), secretaries Croxton (ICarori), Ays'on (IVtone), Fellinghom Wilkie (Upper Hutt), Pitt (Highland), and Rifleman Turner (Suburbs). It wits decided to hold the entertainI inent on Wednesday. August 25. A trophy will be presented to the senior cadet company selling most tickets. Inquiries were received from Christchurch, Marlbovongh, and Nelson, for c/uiies of the programme of tho next Wellington rifle meeting which looks well for tho future of tho association.
