THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday's proceedings possessed a to
amount of interest than during any former of the
meeting, inasmuch as it wee determined who were to be the
40 that would ultimatel be. selected for the final trial for
the Queen's prize, in to the 20 first on the list
being entitled to a splendid Whitworth rifle. In our re-
port of Saturday's proceedings there was an accidental
emission of two names by them who are officially employed
to compile the score, and therefore it islinclbustice to those
gentlemen that they should now be si, y referred to.
they were Mr. Jackson, of the and Kent, 'end
Mr. Manilla, of the ]ad Lanarkshire, each of whom gained
seventeen points In the ranges of 200, 600, an 1600
yards, and who were of course included in the number of Übe
which had to be shot off this morning. The remaining put
et the business wee to continue the contest for the Priuce
Wales's Fins, at the furthest distance of the find ream
viz., at 000 yards. The contest for the All Comet
prizes was also continued, and shooting for supplementary
prism, consisting of a " Henry " rifle, picture' by 11,
Haile, sad field glasses by Brunning, of Great Malvern.
As regarded the Prince of Wales's Flee some misappos
Fusion appeared to prevail, it being confined to
those who have previously been winners of prizes at county
associations. The contest for it was also confined to the
three first ranges for the Queen's prize.
The weather in the early part of the day was cheering,
but in the afternoon was showery.
Soon after 10 o'clock the shooting off the ties for the first
stage of the Queen's prize commenced, and for which the
gentlemen comprised in the list we published yesterday had
to contend. That list (comprised those who were eligible
10 shoot off ties, which terminated in Messrs. Thoms
Honer, Reed,
trout Noteworthy, and Jackson being removed
the lid.
In the morns of the day the 40 gentlemen standing in the
order et vomit were Fomented with the Whitworth rifles, 20
to keep than absolutely, and 20 to use them in the course
of the competition' but an intimation was subsequently

=having in the two only been able to add six meets
ore, while Sergeant Dougan, who at present stands at
the top of the list for the Queen's prize, wee within one If
the winner for the Prince of Wales's prise ; but it is only

From the above it will be sae that Captain Robertson is
the winner of the Prince of Wales's prim. This gentleman,
on the termination of the motet, was loudly cheered. He
was the winner of Mr. Dye's prise last year of 254
In the course of the day there were various prizes of
small amount contended for, in addition to the All Comers'
Prise, but u entries go on for the latter daily, no returns
can be obtained until the termination of the mutest.

During the day the elder Rosa made 10 point. at 800 yards
for one of the extra prizes.
This day the Duke of Oaasbridge's prise of 1001. will be
shot for by breech-loading rifles ; and the contest for this
supplemental prizes will probably oleo fascinate.
