[Mr. H. Marshall (chairman of- the New Zealand Rifle Clubs'. Association)' has received a cable message from Bisley dated July 15, stating that tho New Zealand representatives (Loveday, Croxton and West) all qualified for the final hundred in the King's- Prize. This is regarded as a fine achievement. It was Anticipated that one or two of the trio might get into tho final hundred, but for all three to get there gives New Zealand a good fighting chance for a place. The final hundred is selected iu this manner: There might be 2000 entries for tho King's Prize. After reaching a certain 6tage, all are eliminated save the ton 300. These co on for another qualifying stage, when tho final 100 is arrived at, and from these emerges the winner. Mr. Marshall, in common with all riflemen, is intensely gratified that the New Zealand shots nave done so well in this great match.]
