S 0 THE EDITOR OF THE HAWKE'S BAY TIMES.
Sir,—One of the renditions for the firing for the papier Rifle Volunteer challenge belt I think preposterous, viz., with respect to one member being compelled to win the belt four times in succession, or eight times at intervals before the same becomes the absolute property of such winner. The Rifle Qlub Cup has only to be won twice (not necessarily in succession either) to become the private property of any member, and yet no one person has done so. If this condition of the Rifle Volunteer Belt is adhered to, I venture to predict that another belt will not have to be procured for many a long year. I think, too, that before the belt is shot for, a little practice should have been given to the members. As things *tand, the chance of winning the prize lies in the bands of a very few.— 1 am, &c., Volunteer.
