VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE.
A match was fired between No 2 Company Rifles and the Patea Light Horse on Saturday last, resulting in favor of the former. It was arranged that seven should fire a-sido, but owing to some misunderstanding as to the day, only live of the Cavalry turned up, therefore the average was taken for the two absentees. The ranges were —l5O yards, 200 yards, and 3UO yards ; any position ; two-leaf target. The following is hie result : No. 2 Company. 130 200 300 yds. yds. yds. Total. J Thomson ... 19 10 15 53 M.
