The day on which they shot (says the ‘ Lyttelton Times ’) was exceedingly unfavorable for shooting, bang bright with strbng gusts of wind Mowing at ■ intervals across the range. Perrin, of., Kaiapoi, who fired to-day, also failed to reach the minimum. Canterbury is thus without a representative this year at the Colonial prize contest. , The match between the Dunedin «vnd Christchurch batteries of Artillery has been fixed for the 7th inst. . The conditions are ten men aside, with seven shots at 200, 300, and 400 yards, any position, and Wimbledon targets. ~ The highest score made by the Nelson cadets was 56 by Sergt. Hood, Bugler Leaper being second with 45.
