Shootinn Match—Sailors Versus W.N.R. Rifle Club. An enjoyable time was spent at the Y.M.C.A. rooms on Thursday night, when the members of ,the Women's National Reserve Miniature ' Rifle Club ■ met a team from tho New Zealand,, and afterwards entertained the.ni at supper. As the ladies use aperture sights, and it is recognised that these offer advantages over open sights for-miniature shooting, it was arranged that after half the shots had been iired the rifles should be changed over. This, while quite fair, proved disastrous to the ladies, for though they shot well-with their club gnns, establishing a lead of 53, they were utterly "killed" when it came to using the'service rifles, with which they had had no previous experience. The Navy men, on tho other hand, happy under all conditions. romped along with the club rifles, "washed out" their doficit, ■ and established a lead of twenty-nine for themselves. For the ladies, Miss Anderson shot brilliantly, making the possible with the club rifle, and 37 with tho service rifle. The' highest scorer for 1 tho Navy was Bugler Every, 42 with the service, and 41 with club rifle. At supper a prize donated by Miss Flicker was presented to the highest scorer for tho Navy, while the' presentation of a "booby" prize (represented by' a member of the vegetable kingdom) to ,tho lowest, scorer, created great amusement.
