RIFLE MATCH AT EPPERSTONE.

On Saturday last, a rifle match took place on the above range, between the "A" Company R.H.R., and "E" Company (Thorneywood) 4th Notts. The competition was between eight men per company, and the conditions, Bisley targets and scoring, 200 and 500 yards, seven shots at each distance.
