THE RIFLE ASSOCIATION'S MEETING.

Tho Thames Men,

A NUMBF.it of the Thames competitors have already arrived, and soveral of them were out practising to-day. It is to be regretted that Lieutenant Gordon, thrice Carbine Champion of the colony, will not be present; indeed, in carbine men, tho Thames ia much weaker than in previous years. However, by P. Weir, Floyd, Cameron, Gill nnd others the Thames Naval Artillery will bo worthily represented. All tho men named are old representatives, though we understand that this meeting will bo the first at which Weir will appear as a carbineer, the rule having been his weapon at previous meetings. Ho has been shooting grandly of late. A few days ago he made 92 out of a possible 105, at 200, 300, and 500 yards. It is worthy of note that Parslow and Webster, two of tho Auckland Artillery representa tives, first learned to shoot under tho banner of the Thames Navals. Champions Present. Wo aro informed by Mr Stevens that tliero will be no fewer than a dozen champions present at tho meeting, including Kennedy, the present holder of tho Kifle Championship. Gordon, tho Carbine Champion, has left tho Volunteers. Amongst tho names of tho champions aro : —Payntcr, Hoakin, Skinner, Bell, Hamlin, Bullinger, Barriball, Hutchinson, Okey, Purnell, Thomas. Tho Kongo.

Tho range is well advanced, the 1C sets of targets being now in position. Two of the sets, however, Nos. 0 and 10, will not be available owing to a clump of trees intervening between them and tho firing point. The connection of the butts with tho firing points by moans of telephones was being completed to-day. The Volunteers will be con voyed to tho rango by tho 7.15 a.m. train. Wo have boon requested to intimate that persons visiting the rango should take tiekots for Grecnlano and not for Ellerslie.

Tho Entries. Tho total number of ontrios received up to the present is ICB—IO4 rillo and G-t car bines. This number will, however, bo slightly augmented. Tho Mavlborough list is not as yet in, and thn Wanganui entries are incomplete. Tho Staff. Hon. Major Baillie, Chairman of the Council of tho Association, will oxercise a general supervision over all the arrange ments for the meeting. He will bo seconded by Mr R. J. Collins (an officer of tho Treasury Department), who is also a mem ber of the Council. Mr Collins has had great experience of colonial shoot ing meetings, ho having been present at tho colonial prize-firing hold at Auckland fourteen years ago. Amongst the members of tho Council who will nlso be present at tho meeting are :—Messrs Purnell, E. T. Wildraan, E. Davy, and E. Hamlin. Wo regret to learn that Mr Wildman is indis posed, but he hopes to be able to leave tho Thames for Auckland in the course of a day or two. Subscription List.-'. Tho subscriptions collected up to the present now amount in round numbers to Ll6O. We have been requested to mention that Volunteers having subscription cards should hand them to Captain Payne on or before 5 p.m. to-morrow. The canvassing for subscriptions was resumed today.

UNION OF PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES.

[BY THIKGRAFH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

Wellington', this day. At tho meeting of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Now Zealand yesterday, representatives were received from the Church of Otago and Southland. Tho Rev. J. Stevens conveyed the fraternal greetings of the Church in the South Island Such deputations, he said, helped to bring the churches closer, and to give information regarding the work carried on in each. In Otago'they had 50 ordained ministers, while in the North there were 75. Otago member ship was about 10,000; in the North it was only 5,000. In Sabbath-schools the attend ance was about equal. In Otago they col loctcdabout three times asmuch as the North. Their general income last year was £33,000, showing an increase oyer tho former year. Professor Salmond, in speaking of union with Otago, said that the Synod had always b>en in favour of such, although there had a'ways been a majority against union. lie believed that the endowments in tho Otago Church had nothing to do with the question, and that geographical difficulties had also been put aside. The great difficulty lay in the fact that the Otago Church was com plete, and that they, a largo unit, would be impossible to maintain such. At the last Otago Synod, it was decided by a majority of six to keep the Union Com mittee in existence, and to hand tho union question down to the Presbyteries and sessions fortheir earnest consideration. The matter must be settled this year one way or another. The Rev. Mr Cameron joined with the other members in conveying their paternal greetings. The Otago eternities, on the motion of the Rev. Mr Treadwell, re ceived the hearty thanks of the Assembly for tlieir excellent addresses.

This morning the report of the Church Trustees was given in and adopted. The report of Committee on Union waa called for, and reaffirmed the decision of last As sembly, Rev. J. Pateason (the Moderator) and Mr James Smith were appointed de puties to Otajo next year. Mr Stee'e (student) and Air Hay wero authorised to bo examined, with a view to obtaining liconses. The report of tha Board of Examiners was adopted, Presbyteries wer« ordered to visit congregations presbytenally next yeaifl - .
