THE LLOYD-LINDSAY COMPETITION AT
WIMBLEDON.

Dorset men did not 0001 e off oo well la this competition
at Wimbledon on Friday as they have done stamper:ahem
The Lloyd.Lindaay pins for yeomanry cavalry has been
the means of introducing at Wimbiedna • series of
conkers that moot be of oonaideriabis value lc their
bearing oa future cavalry operations. The importance
that is stnched to them by soldiers of distinction may be
estimated by the fact that ail the prominent military
leaden of the present have taken a strong interest in
them. In pint years Sir Daniel LIAM., Si, Garnet
Wolmiey, sod other officers of renown have been present
at these 1:011to:tg, and on Friday Sir Evelyn Wood was
among thine whom critical eyes watched all the operations
with dam scrutiny. Thom can be no doubt that the
Lloyd-Lindeay competition has done • crest d- at to
promote the efficienry of yeomanry regiments, and to
bring the man of that service much more together then any
other movement could poseibly have dole. The effect of
this hes been observable year after year, and the "madams
to which many of them hays attained leaves little to be
desired. On Friday 10 nein c.mpetel. Eleven had
entered, but the Esat Kent met with a miehap to one of
their hors s which prevented them from taking part j, tie
match. First to Mart ware the Dorast 'soden, who rods
their threc-quuters of mile and fired their five rounds at
each °ultimo, in g cod time, but made indifferent practice
at the Wiwi. Jumping the hilt flight of hurdles coming
lame one of the harms fell with his rider u ador him, but
fortunately no serious accident odium I. A man who has
hunted among the rotten banks and blind ditchee of
Blackmoor Vde knows how to fall without guatidning
much injury. The Sherwood Nangerscame next, and rode as
followers of Midland hounds always do. They proved that
shooting had not been a neglected art among them. Next
cams part of the Troop of Oxford Yeomanry, who shot
best of all, and kept their formation well. The second
faction of this troop neither redo.. brilliantly nor made
ths same good practice at the targets. flee came one
section of the men of Ayr, who had brought their horses
all the way from Scotland. Their time was quickest
of all, but they sacificed something of accuracy
In their desire to make rapid shooting. The
York Maws. on the other bated, gained nit leg by
deliberation, making only Of teen pawn in all, and losing
five of thews by hada, taken half a minute Inviter than
the stipulat time to getover discourse. Tie Dorm& find
section were more rapid in firing, balder °twit in'i'ffmtat
practice. Then came the crack Isom of Ardh ire, who rode
the some horses as their comrade. Keening well
together, they jumped the first flight of hoed'," In a per-
fact line, and with • workmanlike finieti that euggested
lone training across •-auntry with Lord Bailin en's hound.
At Ine hundred yards they put on thirty Poirot and still
In perfect formation they rode to the longer die:ince and
mewed twenty. Gowns home their soldierly beer jug and
admirable horsemanship were still more conspicieng. The
Warwickshire man also wer• worthy of the r- p itation
their coloty has long held, Beth buns kept good time,
and made croditabte_ecores- - The following is the result:—
