THE LATEST.
This Day's Shooting,
This day, 1.30 p.m,
A full meeting of the Executive Committee was held last night, when the protest against Marshall's score was fn'ly discussed. Evidence was heard on each side, and after a careful consideration it was decided to disallow his first two shots, thus reducing his score from 72 to 66, and thus throwing him out of the match. In consequence of this the other winners all advanced, one step, and Crossman, of Nelson, comes in winner of the last prize. The decision of the committee has given general satisfaction. The concert in the dining tent was kept np till half-past ten, several good songs were sung, there being some excellent singers amongst the volunteers. This morning's Match, No. Eleven, was commenced at half past eight. The present is the position of the Carbine Men for the Belt.
