The annual rifle meeting of the S. V.C. Artillery, took place on Saturday and Sunday. There was a splendid entry and a good turn-out. The meeting opened at 2 p.m. on Saturday in bright sunshine otherwise favourable conditions, the wind blowing fairly steadily from the south-east. Sunday morning, however, when the competitions were continued at 8:30 a.m. the weather was most unfavourable, shooting being carried on in heavy rain, with a westerly wind blowing in fitful gusts. The ground was a perfect quagmire, which made shooting, particularly in the quick-firing competition, anything but a pleasure, and seriously handicapped the competitors in the "Dewar" Cup competition, almost neces.
tating a postponement of that competition. Later in the day the rain stopped, but the light remained dull. In spite of these disadvantages, the shooting was consistently good throughout the meeting, evidenced by the appended scores.
