THIS was the general opinion after the visitors had shot with conspicuous success on the opening day of the . Victorian Rifle Association's annual meeting at the Williamstbwn range, even though conditions towards the close of the day were anything but conducive to good marksmanship.. Competing against the best shots m the Commonwealth, the men from the Dominion were well m the prize money/ and by winning a match and an aggregate, made it decidedly a New Zealand day. The Prank: Stuart match of ten shots at three hundred yards was won •by F. H. James (Napier), who found the bull seventeen times before breaking on a magpie. yiW: . . Mclver (Petone).., won the -'Argus" arjd • Australasian aggregate ■with ayscore of ;142. •■■':■] He has placed himself m an excellent position fo"r the important Syme.
