At the commencement of the competition this morning, the weather was dull and misty, but luckily there was no wind, and in this condition of things the shooting at the 200 yards' range was got through. When shooting at the 500 yards, matters in this respect improved, and the light became excellent, Corporal Rex, of the Artillery, proved the winner, with the high score of 65 out of a possible 70, which, we believe, is the highest score ever known to have been made at the Range. Corporal Rex has been lucky this meeting, having also won the Municipal Challenge Cup.
