CORRESPONDENCE.
To the Editor of the " Evening Mail " Sir.— ln th_9 morning's Colo nist there isau article advocating the purchase of the site of the late prize firing, with most of which ail will agree. The writer, however, goes on to argue :— "In the intervals between the meetings the ground would be available for practice, and no one can fail to see that there would be a marked advantage to the men accustomed to the range when the annual contest took place." I sincerely .hope, Sir, that the impression will not be created by the foregoing that the Nelson marksmen are desirous of the range being permanently fixed here in order that they may have advantages which competitors from other portions of the colony are unable to avail themselves of. In case such au idea should'get abroad it may be as well to give publicity to the fact that the rules of the Association strictly prohibit any practising on the ground [selected for the annual firiug.— l am. &c, Nelsonian. Nelson, March 27, 1879.
