assist tho Defence Department. In tho Servico matches attlio meeting every man tired. He was of opinion that there was a certain valuo in hull's-oyo -shooting, and held that w'hilo they wanted to do their,duty in Service matches, they wanted the sport of hull s-eyo shooting. If the'association was to go on they had to largely depend upon "nflo clubs, and tliosb.clubs had to. depend 'Upon those Territorials who beoanio imbued with a lovo'of riHo shooting. Good as tho present Territorial Service was, it hardly tended to make niemhors keen riflemen A certain amount of ammunition was given them; but the grant should ho increased to allow thp men to get more practice. Speaking directly to tho coinpotitqra, Colonel Collins deprecated references "'to "-Tricky Tronthm" . when they got back to their clubs, and so discouraging tho young allots. Every man should endeavour to bring at least ono tyro to each mooting. Tho Hon. It. Heatg;i Rhodes said it .gavo him great pleasure.to bo present, and on helialf of tho Government, convey congratulations to the winner, and to Colonel Collins, for his conduct of the meeting. Tho Primo Minister, (tho Kight Hon. ,'W. F. Massoy) ..regretted that ho could not bo present, and Colonel Allen had also, telegraphed- to' that offect. . Ho heard that reputations: in thp shooting world had been lost, and reputations gained, at the- meeting; Ho hoped, that those who had-lost their places-, would como again next year to regain them. Ho Itoped that "the-growth of ieritricß at' tho meeting would go on till tliey got to the old numbers of a fow years ago. The Government and military authorities were very sympathetic with rifle clubs, and had shown this on many, occasions. Colonel Wolfe had been appointed as riflo club -inspector, and his services were already appreciated. Mrs. Godley had shown her'.sympathy by organising- competitions for cadet corps. The Government recognised that the '-.'shooting men were' valu-. able. They wero tho second line, of /defence, though he hoped they", would nover bo called upon for their services. The Government spent a, considerable; amount assisting rifle clubs,! apart froni the present meeting, and ho hoped members would realfse.the serious side ■• of shooting, and deroto. time .to .-.the ■'service matches! There was no desire on tho part of the Government to wipe out. bull's-eye shooting, although they recognised that riflo shooting was in a transitory stage. Moro up-to-date methods wero being introduced at BisIcy, and New Zealand did not want to bo' behind. .•"-■. .-■ ■

• In conclusion Mr. Rhodes congratu-' luted Mnsefield on his win, congratulated Marlborough on possessing such ii shot.' He said ho was also pleased to see the Hon.. Colonel Baillie and Mrs. Baillie -present. (Applause.); ■Colonel Baillio .spoke a few'words, congratulating Masefteld on his ■ 'success. • " ■■'.■•■'

-'"■■'■.. The Runncr-Up. , -~'.i, ■•*» Lieutenant Herbert Siniuionds'-is 'the sou of Mr. H, Ai Siraonds, no*, of Pictou, and was born at lioiomiko, on the Pictoii Road,' twenty-seven years ago. Hjis association with tlio rifle commenced ilvu years ago, when he joined the,Pioton: Volunteers' as a private', rio soon gained "promotion to the' rank of sergeant, and six months ago signed on with tho Territorials', when ho obtained his commission as a lieutenant, lie developed si capacity for shooting very early iu his volunteering 'experience-, making some good scores on tho Waikanae range, iio is an lion, member of the Liukwater liiflo Club, which won tho senior charijpioii shield of Marlborough last year. To .what extent Lieutenaut Simnionds assisted in this (achievement--may bo judged t[iat of tho six club matches fired during thp season he won tlirco • and finished up only four points behind tho leader in tho' club aggregate. Four years .ago heoamo to Treiytliam lor the first tiraoj and from a beginner did remarkably well. Iu 11)10 ho secured inclusion in- the final 50. .In 1912 he was only two points'away, and last year four points away. 'In 1912 he was'leading in the Service '''Championship' until the final shoot, when ho fell away into seventh plaso. This year 'ho canio from-seven-, tcenth place intq -five,'and only wanted , ' tlirce hits to win'. Lieut. .Siiiimonds distinguished himself on the WaiiKanui rango some two years' ago, arid this year ho shot into prominence at tho Greytown meeting a-few weeks ago. In. recos'nition of his consistency as a shot, Lieut.' Simnionds was the -first chosen for tho United Service Match, and Ins also been selected to represent' New Zealand iu the Empire Cup. Match, if that Imperial event takes 'place in Molbourno this .year.

Tho Third Man. , llifloman Herbert Loveriay, of Ohura, •is one- of the, youngest' men on tho ground, being onlv'li) years of age. He is a member of tho Loveday family, whose uamt-:is now a , household word in shooting' circles. Ho lias been shooting in. local and Dominion matches for four years, during which time he has jikcud quite a fonhidalilo list of victories to his credit." .He canity to Trontliam three years ago for iWfiret time, when he shot in company with his father and brother, and- although only 'a lad iii knickers, secured'prizes/ aggregating £3 .10s., in addition to 'which he only missed being included in tho Kind's l'lifty by ono point. He, however, saw his brotlier Leslie win the Belt, and'as. ho was considered almost as good a shot at hnir.e tlicro woi'o "thoso ' who believed that championship honours might well lo within liis reach 'in the near future. His performance at tho last Auckland meetin" when ho put 'on W successive "bulls," clearly illustrates his aptitude with tho' rifle, and ci;o with such a plenitude of inborn skill should have a long and successful career on our ranges. It'is interesting to noto that Rifleman Loveday's father, Mr. Georp Loveciay, onco a member of tho celebrated Woodvillo team, has twice represented'tho Dominion at Bisley and in Australia. His ejder eiste; wlio is regarded as good a shot as any meaner of tho family, holds tho ladies' championship ot 'Hamilton and Ohura.
