Rifle Shooting.

— LEVIN DEFENCE RIFLE CLUB. On Saturday afternoon the Levin Defence Rifle Club fired their third competition for the third series of trophies, which were kindly donated by Messrs C. Frechling and G. Millies. The match also counted for Mr F. Glaekin's silver cup. The day was fairly favourable for shooting. but the .sun shone rather on the warm side, which made it uncomfortable for marksmen. The wind was somewhat tricky, and with the smoke drifting across the range at times made shooting rather difficult. Conditions were seven shots and one optional sighter, each at 500 and (i!K) yards. Following are the scores:— 500 (500 vds yds Hp. Tl. Bf!ni. Rutherford 28 *32 — (50 llflni. 0, Jones ... 28 30 2 60 Rflni. P. Jones ... 30 29 — of) Rflni. L. Ingram... 32 2(5 -'">8 Rflm. J.
