RIFLE

TEAM FOR AUSTRALIA

BRITAIN'S PART IN MEETING NEXT YEAR

TOUR BROKEN TO VISIT SAFRICA

London, August 6.

The National Rifle Association is to send a team to Australta, at the special invitation of the Common- wealth Council of the Rifle Asso- ciations in Australia, to take part in the rifle meeting which is to be a feature of the 150th anniversary celebrations of the inauguration of the first Australian colony by the landing of Adml. Phillip.

These celebrations, beginning on January 26 next year and continu- ing nearly to the end of February, are being organised on a very large scale. They will include pageantry and a number of athletic and sport- ing events.

MAIN PRIZE

The main individual prize at the rifle meeting, to be awarded for the King's Aggregate, is to be 500 guineas, presented by Mr. J. Woll- cott Forbes. It was his gift of £5.000 which enabled an Australian team to attend the recent Bisley meeting for the first time since 1928..

At Bisley the Australians won the coveted Empire Trophy, and this the British tearr will endesy- our to recapture while in Australia.s British rifle tearns have visited Aus tralia twice before, in 1907 and 1920, and on both occasions the Ein- pire Trophy was competed for There will also be matches är each of the Australian States.

SOUTH AFRICAN VISIT The team is to leave England on- October 16 The voyage to Australia will be broken by a tour of South Africa, where several matches will | be shot.

Rifle shooting is not a spectacular sport, and therefore does not com- mand "gates to help pay the ex- pense of sending teams abroad. The South African and Australian tours will cost at least £4,000, toward which the team of 14 have them- selves put up: £1,500, and most of the Council of the NRA many members have subscribed.
