JAMES WINS.

_ | A THE CIIAMPLOXSHI.P FOR 1013. ROOTS, OK I'ATEA, WELL IT. 1 AXDFOKD THE SKKYWE CHAMPION j A IU'INOI'S WIND. [ THE PRIZE-GIVING SPEECHES. j By Telegraph —Press Association. j Trenthain, Last Night, i The weather was cloudy and there j were strong puli'v roar winds for the j JiiiaL■ day's shooting. Proceedings were | commenced with the Service Championship. which provided u spirited contest between Sandford (Christchurch) and j < .MeCiilmont (Opaki), the former eventu- : aly winning by six ]>oints. ■ After lunch to-day the clouds cleared , away, but the wind increased somewhat, ] and, becoming very puffy, it was very | disconcerting to the fifty who fired for the King's Prize. The Hon. W. F. Massey and Mrs. Massey, Hon. 11. H. Rhodes Mr. 0. R. Sykes and Dr. A. K. Newman, M.P.'s, and members of the Empire Trade Commission were among the visitors to the range. iInterest in the Belt contest was somewhat lessened, owing to the long lead ; (7 points) established by James, but he might easily have been beaten. Marenzi need only have scored 40 to have won, and Loveday and McMurray only wanted 42, but none of these marksmen proved equal to the task. McMurray recorded two misses, and these lost him the Belt. With two shots to go, James had only to hit the target once to ensure a win, even allowing for bulls-eyes from all the rest of the competitors. There was >i spirited nice for the next two positions, and after everyone had walked away, thinking Williams was second and Roots and Frank equal for third, Cameron, shooting on the end target, rang on three successive bulls-eves and just got into second position;": This change in poMtijjjro known to !)!) per cent, of those present until Cameron was called on to come forward for the runner-up's prize..'- wh6 >wa.i second to James at the eonimeni'empnt :of the match, finished toirth, >wMle liaiiis, who was the excellent .seoro. of" 44y-and! finished third- n fine recovery.'--- . : s >%•; As proof of ihe of 500 shots fired there Vers; oio ; fewer, than 113 misses.- One competitor missed eight times, another: seven,two.-.others: six.
