C. COMPANY'S ANNUAL PRIES SHOOTING.
Our volunteers had a day of variable weather on
Thunday last, although there was little or no rain.
Oocusionally the sun would shin* out, and than there
would come a shady time; but the wind wee still more
baffling, being most uncertain „ requiring the promptest
judgment in allowances; and between this "flab-tall"
wind and the skirmishing contest, some of the beet
shots =me to grief. Corporal Barnes was very lucky
ID the first competition, winning the Mayor's
airsatu
but In the woad he was far tele successful,
not get on the target at SOO yards. The skirmishing
contest was most favourable to Laoce•Corporal ChW
who put 25 on his score, and thereby beat Sta.
Sergeant Osmond, who had been more successful than
Mr. Chick in A. and 8., Mr. Osmond losing the

The marking was performed by the marker of the
corps, assisted by three men of the lath Brigade Depot,
under the charge of Sergeant Gosling, and it gave great
satisfaction. Captain Hodges WM in weimand of the

OHAFTEBBITAY,

Tin World says the erectors of homes on the Benet-
Stanford eet.te at Brighton have made the mistake of
building them too large. Consequently there are many
houws at three, four, and five hundred a yeer that have
been standing empty for a long while. If moderate-
size I houses bad been built they would have done better;
but if they had built mansions in fi44 they would have
made a large fortune.
