• Events :which, turn out to be et OD-
-I,iderable importance often cone very
quietly into the world, and we shall be much
mistaken if the inaugural meeting of the National
Artillery Association, which commences to-day at
Shoeburyness, be not one of that character. The
riflemen have made their Wimbledon an established
fact, a great anniversary—a sort of Derby in powder
And •ball ; and now the artillerists amongst the
volunteers—by prescription the right arm of the
civilian army—are determined to have their Wimble-
don also, only that it is to come off at llhoebury-
nese, it being found quite impossible to get • safe
range for the great guns at any spot nearer
to town. The idea of a National Artil-
lery Association originated with Lieutenant-
Colonel Harcourt, of the Cinque Port Artillery,
and has been followed up with greed energy
and zeal by that officer, ably &misted in all admi-
nistrative details by Captain Rudely, of the lot
Middlesex Artillery. The proposal of these ri-
flemen, when submitted to the War-office, received
the warmest support from Earl de Grey and Lord
Hartington, and all the appliances of an artillery
encampment were as far as possible paced at the
disposal of the promoters of the new Association.
We say as far as possible, because in consequence
of the various camps both of the line and volunteers
which are at this moment up in different parts of the
kingdom, and also because the National Rifle Assoc's-
tion have not as yet returned the tents of Wim-
bledon, there is just now rather • scarcity of canvas
accommodation at Shoeburyness, and the amateur
gunners will therefore get their first experience of the
tented field under circumstances well calculated
to give them a foretaste of the genuine hardships of
•• campaign. The War-office has plentifully sup-
plied them with ammunition and guns, but the
latter are all twelves, eighteens, thirty-twat' and
sixty-eights, of the old smooth bore pattern, and
there were not a few of the intending competitors
who grumbled slightly at being confined to those
now obsolete weapons, and asked why they should
not be permitted to try their hands at the Arm-
strongs and Whitworths, or some other guns of
the present or the future. However, a beginning
must be made, and the Artillery Association has
begun in a very energetic and creditable manner.
The Association, under the presidency of his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambriilge and an
influential council, announces the following prizes
to be competed for during the week. This day
the Queens prize, 1001., will be shot for, firing
to commence at 9 o'clock, each detachment, of
which thirty of ten men each are expected to be
present from the various artillery corps, to fire
five rounds with the service charges, either at
1,000, 1,250, or 1,500 yards' range, according to
the calibre of the guns they have been in the habit
of using. A minute will be allowed for
each round, and a point is to be de-
ducted from the score for each twenty
seconds' loss in firing. The firing to be either at
the ordinary barrel and flagstaff or at canvas
targets of 8 feet by 12. Six points will be the
maximum that can be reoorded for any single shot.
To-morrow, and under similar regulations, the
Duke of Cambridge's prize of 601. will be contended
for at 10 a.m. ; on Wednesday, Lord Palmerstoe's
of 401., at 11. ; on Thursday, the Association Prize
of 701., at 12.30 ; and, on Friday. at 1.30 p.m.,
a prize of 50/., which has recently been liberally
laded by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales.
On Saturday, at 11 am., the Marquis of Harting-
ton will distribute the prizes • and on that day, as
well as at intervals during the weak, there will be,
to enliven the programme, swimming and cricket
matches, and various athletic sports, such as our
younger volunteers take delight in. The detach-
ments which, on Saturday, had alreadytaken up their
quarters were from the Ist Essex, the Ist and 2nd
Sussex, the Ist, 2nd, and 4th Cinque Ports, the fat
and. 12th Kent, the 3rd Durham, the 4th West
York, and the Ist and 2nd Middlesex. The 3rd
Middlesex have not entered an appearance, althon3h
their Colonel, Lord Truro, is • member of the
council ; and the Hon. Artillery Company was
also, unfortunately, absent—the guns with which
they ordinarily practise being different from those
for which prizes are offered. Altogether the pro-
gramme is • very promising one, and as the com-
mencement of a most important volunteer move.-
ment, is well worthy of attention and encourage-
ment from the public.

The fashion of baring promenade toilettes with
fastened up over very short petticoats is sow
to discarded ; they are still worn looped up, certainly,
but fastened le such a menace as to admit of bebg lowered
if required. Walking drawees ere only so midi when in-
boded for morning wear, and thou the petticoats over
which they are festooned ere cooly • few inches from the
ground. Far toilette de visite the drums on memo worn
Nam shortened, as the MA* of having one skirt looped over
another meet sot hi oonfonnded with the dross looped over
the petticoat; as when the dress is made in the manner we
have just described, the ander skirt is cut quite to the fall
length, and forms a train at the back.
Morning toilettes are generally made on nits—that
dregs, paletot, and petticoat of the same ; the three being,
of entree, trimmed to °ermined with the skirt. A body
of foulard, alpaca, or muslin is generally worn under the
paletot. Nevertheless there always is a body of the same
material in ease of the **lot being required without
sleeves. These pebble are generally snub with the
sleeves arranged so is to hook on to the armhole, the fasten-
ing being coisomled by an epaulette, in cue of the white
body being desired underneath; s the different sleeve show-
ing through the 'armhole of the cloak fa only considered
suitable for very young girls.
Morning dresses are made in any light material, such as
mohair, poll de Mune, percale, alpaca, and !oohed. The
lastmentimed manorial is still in great request for toilettes
of all kinds, as there are so many different patterns and
qualities that it can be adapted for any style or make.
When made In the materials we have mentioned the cloak
is of the paletot form, half fitting, or quit* tight, and is
worn quite short, and generally accompanied by a hood.
Muslin dresses are made with either • souf or shawl, the
half•fittiog jacket seldom looking well in such light mate-
rials without it is lined with silk, as is generally the case
with white muslin'.
For more dressy toilettes, the lightest materials possible
are selected—very fine Indian muslin,Chambery gauze. tails
de sob, very flee poi de cheers, and light (miens. Them
drams are generally won over coloured slips, of either tar-
latan or silk, according to the tats sad age of the wearer.
When the ander-skirt is of silk the upper one Is mostly
looped up on each side of the front breadth, no as to show
the silk slip. Thicker materials, such as silks, are generally
made either with two skirts, or is a style Orin the name
appearance ; for instance, the front breadth trimmed with
one flounce or more, sad another trimming down etch side,
which gives the read the skirt the appearance of a tank.
Skirts are made very full and very long, and the crino-
lines as large as ever. Some few ladies have disoonti•
cued them, but there does not seem the least symptom
of their general decrease, excepting for balls and evening
concerts. On them °coming they are small below the
waist, sod so very flexible that the lout pressure will com-
peers them, so that they have none of the unpleasantness
and inconvenience of the more common makes.
Many bodies of dresses are made with a beiges either
round the waist or merely at the back, and with the skirt
separate, so that it can be worn over the baps with a
Laid, and thus form two distinct styles of bisque.
Loose bodies, of a different material from the skirts, an
vary much wore, and are made of foulard. alpaca, llama,
and mualio. The foulard of figured alpaca, of the same
colour as the skirt, end trimmed with coloured bottoms and
very narrow velvets, is remarkably pretty. Boma of base
are made with Berard loops of velvet fastened on the
epaulette, and banging as low as the elbow. These bodies
are rude either slightly fulled in at the valet, both back and
front, by a couliese sad cords, or tucked sad stitched with
some colour. Soma have fiat tacks both beck and front ;
others merely in front, and drawn in at the waist imbed.
The more damn reneges of muslin an made in a variety
of elegant styles with lace or insertion. Many of them are
trimmed with loomed insertion down the front and rotted
the armholes. Toe coloured velvet or ribbon is pared
through these loops, and a bead or sash with loog
brad
ends accompanies the body. The sheaves an either at the
form celled " Bishop," and set into an embroidered pave',
or puffed all the way down. Some are made of the mat-
sleeve shape and trimmed round the wrist.
Blue is a very fashionable colour though oily suited to
delicate complezioas and fair hair., We me many blonds,
domed in blue literally from heed to foot, the very gloves
being blue, but this has rather a heavy effort. Wires the
gloves are a pretty grey or stone colour the ensemble is
much more elegant.
For ladies with dark Bair maize is a very behimable and
bromides colour. Our dark-baited elevates (among
which are included many of the most distil:wine) are wear-
ies eraw lilts of the brigands/ Diana diem edged w ith black
velvet and trimmed with maize and black feathers or flowers.
The Fannon and Dubai' bonnets are still the favourites.
Seine of the Empire honesty, with the high crown and stiff
cans* seem to have been invented as a warning to show
how ugly thinp can be Dade if carried to nom ; when of
a moderate than they are rather pretty. Certainly the
chignon being worn so much higher than formerly requires
a voider shaped bonnet, but many of the Fiances shape
are made so as to accommodate the fashion.
White is very man in favour for toilettes of all kinds.
' The white alpaca dresses and cloaks, so iamb in vogue a
moon ago, have become quite commie at all plum of
fashionable resort, and have, therefore, been discarded by
those ladies who do not care to modem a style after it has
been adopted by the mama White foulards, with coloured
flounces or pattern, and white manna richly embroidered,
or trimmed over coloured slips, are substituted for alpaca.
The foulards with coloured patterns make very elegant
drosses when trimmed with coloured silk niches, or bands of
Cluny lace, over ribbon. For ladies of a more advanced age
they are made with silk or chenille hinges, and tames of
parremeaterie. The silk girdle weds make a very pretty
and simple trimming fora young lady's dress,
For ‘ut-door coverings, the Yak lace half shawl or
buroous is very fashionable. The silk innergreasdcula
is also pretty, though, of course, not so dreamy. black
silk mantles, worn with dresses that have not mantles of
the same, are mealy tight-fitting, short, and magelliontly
trimmed with passementerie end vipers. The feshioa of
fastening the sash outside is certainly wan, bet it is very
ugly, and has an untidy appearance. The little double-
breasted loose jacket, cut up at the Woe to the waist sad
fastened with large buboes, is very dieliaginfie and well
won.
