The Navals competed at the Bango on Saturday the sixth competition of the aggregate for the prizes presented by Messrs Holden, Hart, the Carbine Champion, and the Captain. The shooting was on the whole up to the average, but the relative position of the men in both sets has not changed. The ranges were 300, 400, and 500 yards ; seven shots at each range. Appended are the principal scores in both sets, also the five leading in .both aggregates :—
