SHOOTING

fPER PRESS ASSOCIATION-- COPYIUqiJT.I TRENTHAM, This Day. The morning was dull with a strong tricky win front the right rear. A start was made with the last lap in quality for inclusion in the King’s Fifty tu firs off on Wednesday. When the men went down for the Otago match, ten shots at 800 and 100 yds, half using the former distance on Somerville Range and half the 1000 yds of Seddoti Range, heavy shifting clouds caused difficulties in finding elevation, especially at the longer distance, WitK the result scoring began very patchily. Of the first lot down only one, Hallidnv, got all liis shots on the target artd they only totalled 30 out of 50. Yellowlees ‘ 31 with a. miss for the last shot. Anion ' the early shots at 800 yards Page and A. C. Milroy were the best with 48. A H the morning progressed, the sun came out fitfully for awhile and then settled ; down steadily to its shining task. The wind, however, remained intractable and scoring continued uneven in character. ( The only steady feature about the bus- ( iness was the inflow of half-crowns for challenges which were profitless to the competitors. , WELLINGTON, March 6.
