RIFLE SHOOTING.
MEETING AT PUKEKOHE. A very successful,rifle meeting was' held at Pukekohe for the Territorials and Senior Cadets of the local Squadron and Companies on, the 7th and 14th. Competitions were provided for the younger Cadets on the miniature range which has been recently fitted up at the Drill Hall, and the main meeting was held at Mr J. Adams’ paddock for Service rifle shooting. A very noticeable feature of the meeting was the excellent shooting on the part of the Cadets. These lads, in a great number of cases, showed marked superiority over their Territorial comrades in arms.
