The wind) which was gusty throughout, varied considerably in strength, and the competitors had much difficulty in fixing the windage. The wind changed at times from dead rear to left rear. The most remarkable feature of the day's shooting was the collapse of Dnunmond, who entered on the day's shooting with 376, occupying eighth position. Counting in bis two sigliters, he bad to-day 22 shoots, but 'failed to find the target with a single one of them. Captain Potter, of Auckland, commenced the. day with a clear lead of ten points, and finished up in the twenty-third position, 10 points behind the leading scorer. In the ll.iwke's Bay Match.
