THE VOLUNTEERS.
The firing in the second stage for representatives, took place at the Rifle Range this morning. During the firing at 400 and 500 yards the morning was good for shooting, at 600 yards the sun came out with a yellow light, with a slight wind from the left rear, quite baffling the competitors.
* Corporal Hutchinson, of the North Dunedin Rifles was disqualified, because the pull of his trigger was than Gibs.
