VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY CARBINE MATCH.
The challenge recently sent by Captain Muir, of the B (Dunedin) Battery of the Volunteer Artillery, to all the other batteries to fire a carbine match has, as will be seen below, resulted in a victory for the challengers, the Ohristchurcb, E Battery, occupying the second place in the scoring. The highest individual scorer was Captain Muir, of the Dunedin Battery, with 72 points, and the lowest Gunner Joyce, of the G (Invercargill) Battery, with six points. The following are the total scores : B (Dunedin) Battery 617 E (Christchurch) Battery 598 H (Nelson) Battery 593 D (WellingtDn) Battery 590 A (Auckland) Battery 576 J (Oamaru) Battery 563 Q (Invercargill) Battery 531 K do Battery 455 L (Port Chalmers) Battery 324 It is the intention of Captain Craig shortly to send a general challenge to all the batteries in New Zealand, and, looking at the honorable position taken by the Christchurch artillerymen at the recent contest, the competition between Dunedin and Christchurch is likely to be a very keen one.
