This day. The Coronet has arrived from Waipara. The Wellington races commence to-day. The s.s. Wellington sailed South yester day with Canterbury boats and excursionists from the regatta. It is believed a reconstruction of the Cabinet before Parliament meets is con templated. The challenge by the Wellington Rowing Club to row the Lyttelton Club for £200 ■was declined. The crew of the Electric Spark have challenged the crew of the Queen Mab, the winners of the four-oared inrigger gig race. The barque Cyrus arrived to-day from Newcastle with five hundred tons coal. Authentic information states that on the arrival of Mr Vogel he will be requested to become Premier. Should he accept the office Mr Fox will no longer remain in the Cabinet. Should he refuse to become Premier Mr Fox will retain office until Parliament is called together. In any case Mr Fox and the Ministry will advise the calling together of Parliament as early as possible, but Ministers will not call Parliament till May, the House being prorogued till April, and several Provincial Councils meeting in that month.

Position, standing. It was expected that the Otago and Christ church men would pull up greatly at this range, but they were unsuccessful, Hay, of the Auckland Rifle Brigade, winning the first | prize with a score of 17 out of a possible 20. He made three bulls-eyes, a centre, and an outer. Richardson, of Otago, took the second prize with a score of 16 points.

In firing off, McLeod, Wales and Sutton made bulls-eyes, the rest making centres and outers. In firing off again McLeod and Sutton \ade bulls-eyes and Wales a centre. Wales consequently took fifth prize, and McLeod and Sutton fired again for second and third. They tied three consecutive shots. Then Sutton made a bull's-eye, taking third place and McLeod fourth. The following are the scores : — Hay (Auckland), Ist prize, £10 ; score, 17 points. Richardson (Otago), 2nd prize, £6 ; score, 16 points. Sutton (Marlborough), 3rd prize, £4. score, 16 points.

Hoskins (Thames) leads by eight points over Southerners for the champion belt, gold cup, and £50 prize. Stone follows with a lead of seven points, and Thompson with five points lead. All these are Thames men. Hoskins at the last range made six conse cutive centres and is shooting splendidly. Wilson, Clode, and Buchanan, of Otago, are firing well. The fourth match comes off this afternoon, and the last one for the belt to-morrow. There is great excitement amongst the Northerners. A SECOND EDITION WILL BE ISSUED SHORTLY.

Yesterday. The weather to-day was unfavourable for firing. The matches, however, proceeded with success. The second match (infantry) occupied all day. The Auckland and Thames men stand well, and odds are offered in favour of either a Thames or Dnnedin man carrying off the champion belt this year. The result of the firing so far is as follows :— Second Match (Infantry).—Eanges, 400, 500, and COO yards ; seven shots at each range. Position, any. Targets, (5 x 6ft. centre, 4ft. ; bull's-eye, 2ft. square. Hosldns (Thames), Ist prize, £20 ; score, 64 points. Stone (Thames), 2nd prize, £16 ; score, 63 points. Thompson (Thames), 3rd prize, £14 ; score, 62 points. Clode (Southland), 4th prize, £12; 60 points. Oates (Wellington), sth prize, £10; 95 points. Elder, A.C., 6th prize, £7 ; 59 points. Buchanan (Otago), 7th prize, £6 ; 59 points. Murray (Thames), Bth prize, £5; 58 points. The next highest but non-successful scores were : —Adam (Otago), 5S : Douglas (Otago), 5S ; Mclean (Thames), 56 ; Taylor (Dunedin), 53 ; Boardman (Auckland), 50 ; Leigh (Thames), 50 ; Battle, 47 ; Gordon (Thames)) 45 ; Captain Wales (Dnnedin), 45. Aggregate Scores.—The firing up to Wednesday night showed the following aggregate scores : —Hoskins (Thames), 81 ; Stone (Thames), 81 ; Thompson (Thames). 81 ; Murray (Thames), 75 ; Oates (Welling ton)] 74 ; Clode (Southland) 73; Wilson, (Otago), 73 ; Matthews (Taranaki), 72; Richardson (Otago), 72; Elder, A.C., 72. The Otago men are not likely to carry all before them this year. Muir, o* Dunedin, from whom great things were ex pected, is only 45, and Captain Wales is low down. It is thought, however, the long ranges will make a considerable difference. Some who scored well at the low ranges, epecially Boardman of Auckland, and three of the Dunedin men, fell off to a marked degree as the distance was increased.

The Advertiser's special reporter sends the following particulars of Tuesday's firing : —The contest for the colonial prizes opened this morning. The weather was dull till ten o'clock, when it cleared up and the sun shone brightly. The competitors mustered at a quarter to eight, and weie conveyed to the ground in nine traps. There were 80 com petitors, only seven of which were cavalry, the rest being infantry. The latter told off into five squads. The first match was judg ing distance by cavalry, dimming, the champion last year, was nowhere. The prize men are—Douglas first, 15 points ; Gilpin second, 13. Then came the Judging Dis tance Match of the infantry; one shot at each of five ranges The shooting was bril liant in the extreme, the Auckland and Thamesmenshowingup wellto the front. The men were marched about the field, and had to shoot without any knowledge of the dis tance, yet no miss was made by the first thirty-five men. Five men made 19 points, out of a possible twenty ; six made 18, and fourteen made seventeen points. The ties at 19 were fired off, and resulted as follows : —Boardman, Auckland Rifle Brigade, first McLean, Thames Scottish, second ; Jamie son. Otago, third ; Wilson, Port Chalmers, fourth ; Thompson, Thames Naval Bri gade, fifth ; and Prouse, Wellington, sixth Stone, of the Thames Navals was next, with thirteen points, but he does not get a prize The other Thames representatives made the following scores :—Captain Murray T S.; Lieut. Hoskins, No. 2 H.R. ; Corpl. Buttle, T.S. ; Vol. J. Leigh, Nol. H. R., each seventeen points. Vol. Haresnape No 1 H.R., sixteen points. Vol. Par tington, T.S., Vol. Gordon, T.N., and Vol. J W Leigh, No. 1. H.R., fifteen points. Vol Grundy, No. 2. H. R., thirteen points Vol. McLeod, T.S. ; Vol. Colemen, No 3. H. R twelve points. Of the Otago crack shots Captain Wales made fifteen points, missing the first shot. Muir only made ten missing two shots. Richardson made 15 Mills of Auckland only made ten. lne ranges were afterwards measured, and found to be respectively 296 yards, 400 yards, 243 yards, 348 yards, and 162 yards. All arrange ments were very satisfactory, and great praise is given to Major .Gordon. The Thames men stand a good chance for the belt, if they can keep up their positiontm the heavy match 400, 500, and 600 yards, which comes off to.morrow when the Otago men hope to pnll up. The contest wmbevery close. The Government has agreed to defray the cost of conveying extra representatives to the range.
