SPORT WITH THE RIFLE

WEEK-END CLUB MATCHES. - KARORI CLUB. The Karori Rifle Club fired the third match of its first series on Saturday afternoon last, at ranges 900 and 1000 yards. The conditions were anything but pleasant,' a strong rear wind blowing down the range, .bringing with it clouds of dust from the camp, and making it difficult at times to see the targets. With variations of win'd from 5 to 15 degrees right,' good shooting was out of the question. The best score off the rifle was made by Rflmn. D. Mason. The results are as follow: — 900 1000 yds. yds.
