RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION). Wellington, Last Night. It is understood that the Government has promised to grant the New Zealand Rifle Association the usual concessions for their next meeting, which begins at Wanganui on the 23rd February, 1899. It is expected this will be the last meeting of the Association under its present management, the Commandant of the Forces having recommended the discontinuance of the usual grant and the allotment of the money so voted under a new plan, viz., that it be divided for shooting purposes amongst the various districts, to be competed for by volunteers only. The Association has a large liability to meet, for which the trustees (Majors Sommerville, Collins and Donald) are personally responsible, but if this meeting turns out as successful as is anticipated, this debt will be wiped off.
