Several very fair individual scores were made on both sides, but taken as a whole the firing was not very good. However, a good team might easily be selected from the troop. We understand that a rifle match is being arranged between Nos. 1 and 2 Companies Patea Rifles, which is to come off on Saturday week.

The entertainment given at Hawera on Friday evening last, in aid of the Hawera Institute, was largely attended, and wo understand that the splendid sum of £2l was realised.
