WANGANUI.
Government Prize Firing. —That our riflemen have not entirely lost their skill from want of practice, is evident from the scores that a few of the Cavalry Volunteers made yesterday morning, the highest of which was forty, made by Lieutenant W. T. Owen of the Wanganui troop, who has, so far as is yet known here, made the best score in the Colony. His shooting was, however, surpassed yesterday by Mr. Summerville, who gained the 3rd prize of a former year, and who, in practising yesterday, made forty-four. Whether he will be equally successful in fir - ing for the prizes remains to be seen.— JVmcjanui Chronicle.
