NATIONAL NMI ASSOCIATION PRIZE
ILINTING.-(THIS DAT.)

The heavy rains of last night gave the common
a very improved and fresh appearance this morning, and
an early hour after the revel l& bad sounded all was
bustle and activity ; offioers and men were brushing
up their asoeutrommta, and various mejectures
were hazarded se to who will at the close of
this day become the fortunate winner of the Queen's
Prize. The sixty who ere to compete for it at the three
different ranges of 800, 900. and 1,000 yards last eight
went through • long practice with their sighting, and
generelly the WOMB made were very satisfactory. Mr.
Edward Ross, who made the highest wore in the
first stage, is considered by many to stand
well for the possession of what is called the blue riband rf
the meeting, he having had considerable practice with the
Rigby rifle, which is now put into the hands of the selected
sixty, many of whom beadle it for the first time. Other
named, however, have been mentioned with great coofi.
dance, bat all ia at beat mere speculation, as so
much depends upon circumstances which may pos-
sibly arise almost at the last moment. It is
an honour highly coveted, and one that will be the
subject of an anxious competition. This prize has three
times fallen to corps stationed in the metropolis ; once
it went to Scotland, and once to Herefordshire, but many
are of opinion that our northern friends will once more take
it away with them. The shooting for the final stage had
not long commenced when this report was despatched.
The Albert Prize competition was again resumed
at the 600 yards range, and the proceedings were
commenced for the Earl De Grey and Ripon's Prize for

351. added by the Association, was also commenced. This,
like the former, is open to all comers, live shots each, at

upbeats. The contest for the Any Rifle Associa-
tion Cup, value 501., to be competed for by mem-
bers of the National Rifle Association wbo bad paid
their subscription for the current year. There were also
the contests for the Enfield Rigby Sweepstakes, Swiss

tain Ross for the highest scores made by those who can

GRAND RBVIBW AND FIELD-DAY OF THE
GUARDS IN HYDE-PARK, BY H.R.H. THE
DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE.-(THIS DAY.)

One of those military displays which, when gene- I
rally know~
tators, was held this morning on the parade and review
ground in Hyde-park, nearly opposite the Marble Arch.
Ten o'clock was the hour ansosseed for the review, bat
quite an hour before that time a squadron of the Life
Guards rode into the perk and took up the ground on which
the movements were to be held, and which had already been
in possession of the spectators. They were followed in about
half-an-hoar by the fin* regiment of the Coldstream
Guards, who mustered in full force and were seen to
better advantage, their arms and accoutroment• being ecru-
pulonsly clew. About ten minutes after their arrival
strains of music were heard, and the splendid battalion of
the Score Fusilier Gaged*, whioh was accompanied by both
bands and the pipers, entered the park. Both regiments
on arriving on the ground were dismissed for ten
minutes, and on re-forming were formed into line
to receive the Commander-in-Chief. The line which wee
formed at • poiut nearly adjoining the Marble Arch,
stretched to within • short distance of the Serpentine,
rendering it necessary for the Horse Guards to drive the
• spectators bank. When the line had been completed the
bands were stationed in the rear and the officers took up
i their positions in front of the ranks and awaited the
arrival of the duke.
At 10 o'clock the Duke of Cambridge rode on to the
ground, acuompsnisd by his staff, and riding to the front of
the line, he was received with • royal salute. the band
striking up the National Anthem. His royal highness,
accompanied by hie staff, then rode down the line,
and narrowly inspected the men and their arms and 1100011.

Plating point, and the marching put—always the greatest
