ANNUAL RIFLE COMPETITION.
The 17th Annual Rifie Competition in connection
with the Dorset Volunteer Association took place at
Maiden Castle, on 'Tuesday and Wednesday, under
the most favourable circumstances, the weather being
delightfully fine. A lirge number of prizes were
offered, and the honour of winning these was sharply
and closely contested. Q iartennseter Newman was
the hon. secretary, and we need hardly say his
arrangements for the shooting were perfect. He was
early on the ground and carried out his onerous duties
in his accustomed affable manner. A number of
officers were in attendance, amongst whom we
noticed :—Colonel Steward, Colonel Memel, Captain
Harmer, Major Falwacser, Captain Hodges (Dor-
chester), Lieut. IL Williams (Dorcheeter), Captain
Lloyd Jones (Wimborne), Captain Mac Lean (Port-
land), Lieut. Whetham (Bridport), Lieut. Gason

Sub-Lieut. Riggs (Gill i ngharn), Captain Stone (Poole),
