NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

defence, is in reality a movement of a peaceful characte
and is the best security for the maintenance of peace.
(Hear, hear.) Animated, therefore, by this common
object, we heartily welcome the Swiss gentlemen who have
come over here. We desire no rivalry with them except
the friendly rivalry of the shooting match—(hear)—and we
are heartily glad that they have been able to vindicate their
ancient reputation, while, at the same time certainly, wes
who have but just begun to follow this noble pursuit, may be
justly proud that we have not been found unworthy in this
competition to rival those who for so many years have made
the rifle their favourite arm. I will not longer detain you
from the interesting ceremony you desire to see, when you
will be able to perceive who were the victors in this great
national contest who are about to receive the prizes they
have so worthily earned. I have only, in conclusion, there-
fore, to congratulate you on the various events in con-
nexion with the volunteer movement that have taken place
within the last few weeks. (Hear.) Upon thew events
every man in England may look back with the greatest
satisfaction, whether he remembers the serried files that
marched peat her Majesty on the last day of June, or whether
he looks to the successful and remarkable competition in
rifle shooting last week at Wimbledon—in both these cir-
cumstances there is cause for warm congratulation. (Hear,
hear.) But it should be remembered that this is but the
commencement of a great national movement, and it rests
with you—the people of this country--to determine whether
you will render it of really national importance by fulfilling
by your efforts 'and your nipped the motto that has been
adopted by the National Rifle Association, " Sit perpetuurn "
(Cheers.)

Each winner as be came up was loudly cheered, but the
ovation to the Swiss was in each case especially enthusiastic.
The Nears LORD in presenting the Queen's prize to Mr.
Ross, rid he was desirous of correcting an error which pre-
vailed in regard to that gentleman's place of birth. It had
been stated in the printed lists, and in the newspapers, that
Mr. Rosa belonged to the 7th North Yorkshire Volunteer
Rifles, and his noble friend (Lord De Grey and Ripon) being
a Yorkshireman, had been congratulating himself that the
first prize, together with the medal of the association, had
been gained by a countryman of his own. He (Lord Elcho)
was, however, happy to say that Mr. Ross came front much
farther north, and that he was a pure Scot. (" Hear,
hear," and a laugh.) And he would only add, that if next
year the Englishmen allowed • Soot to carry off the gold
medal, as they had done this year, it would be a disgrace to
them.

Earl Dm Om and Rime remarked that if a Sootchman
had won the prise he had had a Yorkshire training to enable
him to do so. (A laugh.)
Lord &CHO —lty friend, Mr. RPM, was trained in hie own
father's orate, and that father was a Scotchman, and a
famous deer-stalker. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Rom who seemed to enjoy this dispute about tido
origin of his ability, was warmly congratulated by the noble-
men and gentlemen on the platform, and loudly cheered by
his confreres, both English and Swiss.
Lord Ei.cuo was anxious before the company separated to
s►y a few words on beloilf of the association in addition to
what had fallen from his noble friend Lord De Grey. In

ecresequeme ed the inclemency of the weather, and the
tarts they bed imespectesUy been called upon to execute,tbe

that the amociation and the riflemen in seer& were at this
moment so popular that they might, if they required it, sr
if they thought it desirable, appeal with confidence to
the House of Commons for a grant of azars. But
while they wished to have all the aseistenes
issatble from the government, they were aar.ions to keep
themselves as far as possible independent of the govern-
ment. Now the way to do that wee for the public to come
