SECOND DAY'S SHOOTING, SOME FIXE PERFORMANCES. By Telegraph—Press Associatian. Trentham, Last Night. - For the second day's shooting bright sunshine continued all day. A light, left wind broke from the north, but was not troublesome except to those marks-: men who shot towards the conclusion of the 300 yards' range in the opening match of the 0 series. Aided by good light, some, excellent cards were returned, possibles at 300 yards being made by Cameron (Oipaki) and Captain Matbc son (Wellington), and at the 500 yards by Barklc (Suburbs*, King (Opaki), Head (Akarana), McMnrrav (Te Awamutu), and Hunt (Suburbs!. At the 000 yards' range no jiossibles' were recorded, but Masetield (Sounds) maintained a good average Hcoro awl won with a total of 101. Henderson, a fellow club mate, was next with Hit, aria Guy (Kaponga) handed in third card, also 90. Evidently the last range proved a formidable hurdie for some good shots, as none of those who scored a possible at the shorter ranges were included amongst the tirst nine. In the Auckland match (the first for the belt), there was some fine, individual shooting. F. W. Chi;. 8 (R.N.Z.A.), late of Lyttelton, wound up the shoot at the first range with 48, while at 800 yards he planted on ten consecutive - bulls, his total being 98, which-, won, him the match. Mcintosh, one of the famous Opaki team, returned a card of 07. White (Christchurch), who made a tooßßible at tho longer range, 9ft.
