QUEEN'S (WESTMINSTER) RIFLES.

The third annual match of the No. 8 (Broad-
weed) company, Queen's (Westminster) Rifle Volunteers,
'gook place atormwood Scrubs on Thursday lest, when
prime to the amount of nearly 1001. were competed for.
In order to induce and encourage the largest tamable
Somber of competitors this sum was wisely divided into
numerous prises, which again were divided into two seriea
A competitor could enter for each aeries of prises, and
although he was not allowed to take more than one prise, he
had thus& doable chance of success. The first series consisted
Of 15 prises, of the total value of 551., sad was contested
at the ranges 200, 300, 400, sad 500 yards ; the sewed
aeries was of 10 prises of the total value of 354, ranges, 300,
MA and 600 yards. Wimbledon targets and scoring;
Bythe position ; dress, full uniform ; live shots at each
mange. The day was perhaps hardly favourable for shoot-
jog, the light being glaring, and the wind puffy and vari-
able. The firing began at eight in the morning, and it is a
proof of the excellence of the armagements, which we
understand were entirely made by Captain Rees, that the
swatch, notwithstanding the large number of entries (153,
involving the &ingot some 3,000 rounds), was brought to •
satisfactory and successful termination before dusk, and
without a single bitch or a moment's delay. Besides their
