[BY ELECTRIC TELEGBAPH —COPYRIGHT.]
(per press association.)
Sydney, January 10. At the annual meeting of the National Eiflo Association the Federal and State Ministers were not present owing to Mr Dickson's death. Mr Collins responded on behalf of New Zealand to the toast of kindred Association. Lord Hopetoun visited tho range during the afternoon. Sydney, January 11. The shooting to-day was very in and out. Owing to the high wind it was difficult to hold on to the target, Robison and Loveday obtained £3 each in the Queen Victoria match; Ingpen, Tobias, Cox, J. Wilson, and Robinson £1 each in the Hopetoun match. Bobinson, who stood pretty well in the Queen Victoria aggregate, had a bit of bad luck at tho 900 yds. The stock worked loose and he did not notice it and he only got 9 points. Loveday mistook his range in the Roberts match and broke up. In tho N. S. Wales match Scott (N S. Wales) and Carter (Victoria) tied with 49, Dodds won £2 with 46. Robinson fired well in the Roberts match, putting on 30 and 31 at the 700 and 800 yards.
