RIFLE MATCH.
A most interesting match took place at Hillsborough on Saturday, being that of Ex-officers v Present. The ranges were 200 and 300 yards s 200 yards standing, and 300 any position; five shots at each range. It will be observed that the ex-officers were victorious by nine points. The result of this match should impress upon the present officers the fact that a long course of steady training., such as the ex-officers have undergone in days gone by, will tell after they have left active service, even for a considerable time. The following is the score, EX-OFFICEBS.
