TEM CAMP AT
DOMITT TO Ti ROWE

Notwithstanding the attractions of 'mania we comPetl-
tilts, and other events of a one interests tht t invariably
mark the last shooting day of a Windt. ic a meeting,
visitors and Volunteers seem to tied the per!, rondo a or
mounted riflemen more to their taste than he twaask
details of ordinary marksmanship. The cot ree marked
out for those who bad entered is Loyd-Linde sy awl the
Meecin competitions was lined with spectatt es, who it
not quite so strong numerically coin previous • 7.511, Were
apparently deeply inter 'sled in the procied Logs. The
National Ride Association wisely introduced a variation
in the monotony of the cc.c.e,itt,iby „at., owing the
mounted sections from the Lloyd.Lindisay wi lb the dis-
mounted squads for the Melvin prism end the spectator.,
therefore, had an opportunity of c mooring t be relative
rapidity sad accuracy of cavalry and infa airy when
employed in Out cam. Idol of service. In Ii -evening •
C. 117111 of six furlongs, and firing at two eats gee by the
way, it would seem at first that mounted met t have the
best of it, especially when the infantry are all owed only
two minutes extra, and it. thtt two minutes h IVe to are
four rounds more than the horseman. They I tare, how.
ever, the advantage of being able to get tbei r shots off
more quickly when they do arrive at the firing • *lasi and
they are not delayed by the trouble of moo ntlng and
dismounting. As a matter of fact, the infantry • who took
part in the competitions Friday showed that th 17 ward 47
needed any time allowance to place them on • a equa:ity
with the mounted men, and their practic at t he targets
were certainly infinitely better. While tb • cavalry
frequently overran their time by many second, i, and loot
points in consequence, the foot equade were rarely longer
than the twelve minutes allotted them for the whole
couree. The time allowed for their taking two flights of
hurdle. and firing at two ranges by the wet was ten
minutes In the came of mounted eections, and twelve in
that of infantry ; but the latter had to /kw *eve, i shots at
each distance-500 and OW yarde—while the I'o !mar tired
five only. The first eection of Dorset Yeomen, who have
latelL,,sZtartwfal at Wimbledon more than on ce before,
reared mounted and smart looking .• of old,
r-i-cierger bore tOe stamp of a sturdy ht =VT, and
every man carried himself with the easy fir, PUIII of a
practised crom-coountry rider. When the, got the word
to go all were off in admirable line, and b nt for the
unisoldierly lifting of a hand at the hurdles, al I took the
first ohstatle in good etyle At the first in rget there
seemed to be • little too much eagernees ti beg it. and the
burry had the effect of making many of the shots drop
low. Presently, however, they settled down t t deliberate
shooting, and at the •Ntond range they overdid this some-
what, for they stayed there until the lest mo ment, and
though they raced home at speed, taking the hurdle. in
their stride, they dropped five points, by be fug half a
minute behind time Their moldier() style of ri dints how:
ever, and the precision of all their movement I, ought to
have made up for tire As it was, they OWL wed to put
on the way beet of all the Veontany section. t diversion
was created by the tint Warwickshire section, t Itrough the
eccentric behaviour of one of the chargers, a tit% went
kicking down the comae, to the amnseete nt of the
onlookers and the imminent discomfiture of its rider.
The man, however, stuck on gallant's, and canto :bt up with
hi. comrades in time to take part in the shootin g when his
turn came. Finishing in lees tiroe than the I 'erect, and
nearly the same as their own first mead, tb sy tied the
former in total number of points, though th ey did not
, score so many at the longer range.
I Wednesday at Wimbledon recalled the amok ing days of

have been oppressive but for the flue, fresh bn one. There
bee been • number of visitors In camp, the an zaction, of
coarse, being the Lords and Commons match, which was
postponed from Saturday. Since 1859 the mid h has been
abet annually, except in 1565, when Parlismen t happened

The Kolapore Challenge Cup produced an ex :cellent and
highly exciting contest between the Mulish and Scotch
and Canalise' teams, and, as in so many o ther of the
eompetitions, there was on both sides an imp. ovement on
but year. shooting. last year the home t. am won by

competition of the picked en of the th red branches

colossal trophy was won by the repreeentativi team from
Ireland after. contest which occupied the greeter part of
the day, and produced some of the best shooth ig which has
been witnemed on Wimbletion-nommon during the present
meeting. -Zr Henry Halfoni and kr. Evans did well for
England •, but the performarices of Messrs. Rigby and
Fenton in the Iriah eight were truly remarkable. The
former in 15 shots only dropped 10 points and at 1,000
yards he made 13 bulls in soccession. Ireland ha. now
won the shield two years in it uiceesion, and her champk ins
were fully entitled to the congratulatory cheers which
were awarded them at the clomp of the competitinn.
