The National Rifle Association.

There was a continuance yesterday of the same.
magnificent weather which, as far as the present
meeting is concerned, has done its best to efface the
recollection of a time when Wimbledon skies were
adverse. Encouraged by these favourable auspices,
and no doubt anticipating the hospitable welcome
accorded to their friends by Volunteers generally,
and notably by the Victories, a considerable number
of visitors made their way to Wimbledon yesterday.
Among these was a large proportion of ladies,
whose presence conferred a temporary distinction
upon the lines of tents where their acquain-
tances resided, and made those who were not
similarly honoured feel conscious of their own in-
feriority. The lions of the camp are well worth a
visit even from ladies, who cannot be expected to
deep interest in the science of rifle-shoot.

but really travelling a good 10 miles an hour; the
miniature Crystal Palace which Mr. Jennison, the
refreshment contractor, has erected; and, last, the
commercial avenue or bazaar, in which everything
needful for occupants of the camp, from rifles and
ammunition to ", mufti" for running up to town,
may be procured. The spectacle can hardly be
spoken of as brilliant, for the volunteer uniform, as
a rule, is dull ; but the men who shoot and shoot
well can hardly make that complaint, as the Asso-
ciation badges lighten up the sombre tints wonder-
fully. One or two distinguished shots who have
made their way in more than a single instance into
the class entitled to compete for the second stage of

the movement, and continued faithful to it for years,
repels the supposition that it can ever again die
out in England. But there is no doubt that the
National Rifle Association, by giving to the mem-
bers of the force annually a centre of common inte-
rest—" a local habitation and a name"—does much

to strengthen and perpetuate the feeling by which
the force was originally founded. Moreover, the
excitement and attractions
of rifle contests remain
after the goose-step has lost its novelty, and these
odd a fresh incentive to regular drill from the
knowledge that the degree of steadiness requisite to
the winning of prizes is best attained thereby.
Some remarkable shooting
was made yesterday
in the course of the day. Captain Heaton fired 26
shots at the Swiss target, Where the marking is on
the electric system ; of these 25 consecutively made
bull's and 1 lodged within the 11 inch carton. At

The firing for the first stage of the Queen's prize
was continued at 500 yards and the class brought
to a close before gunfire. To accomplish this re-
sultall the pressure that could be exerted, the closing

If

one,
however, aside and watch the endless

the wonder would be not that markers occasionally
enjoy the opportunityof
making a little extra pay-

ment for overtime, but that the work compressed
into a single day does not require the best part of

a week to get through.
A calculation of the num-
ber of shots fired daily at Wimbledon would be in-
, structive. It would, no doubt, turn out that under
all the heads of competition enough powder and
ball is consumed to furnish
supplies adequate to a
respectable infantry battle, The following

The Duke of Cambridge's prize is one to which
considerable importance attaches at the present
moment, when the propriety of placing breechload-
ing rifles in the hands of the British army is seri•
ously canvassed. Whatever the weapon which the
Government may ultimately adopt—Mont Storm's
invention, with the facilities which it offers for
converting at trifling expense all our present stock
of Enfields, Westley Richards, 'with its great accu-
racy of aim, or any other description of breech.
loader, there seems to be a tacit admission that
England, with its small army, cannot afford to
stand still in this matter. And hence the interest
connected with this competition, in which any de-
scription of breechloading firearms was allowed to
be used. The successful candidates were as fol•

tion. Expectation was rather heightened than di-
minished by the publication of the following order—
'. Owl Shooting Extraordinary.--Oh, Yes! Oh,
Yes !—Take notice all. A prize of £5O has been
given by the venerable the owls of the Ota news-
paper, to be competed
,for on such terms es the
Council way fix. Out of consideration for the gene-
rous but benighted donors, the Council have deter-
mined that the competition shall take plece in the
dark at the 200 pool targets. Lights, called owl'e
eyes, wili be substituted for the plates now used as
bull's eyes at these pools. Conditions—Each com-
petitor shall pay is per shot as at pool, and if the
competitors do not appear in great numbers,

The moping owl will to the moon complain.'
The prize, which will be in the form of a beautiful
silver owl, shall be adjudged to the competitor who
shall, by the end of the meeting, have made the
greatest number of owl's eyes—that is, who shall
have oftenest knocked out the owl's eye, or broken
the glasses by which it will be shaded. Every pre-
caution has been taken to guard against accidents.
The shooting will commence at dusk,"

The Guards performing the duty of markers hav-
ing had a long and fatiguing day, it was agreed on
all hands that it would not be fair again to expect
them to take their places at the butts. A member
of Parliament volunteered with the aid of half a
dozen members of the London Scottish to perform
the necessary duties, and being supposed to be
in the confidence of " The Owls," his offer was at
once accepted. Long before the shades of evening
had completely fallen there was a numerous muster at
the point indicated, and great was the dissatisfaction
of intending competitors on learning that the bird
of night declined to present itself to be shot at.
The fact was that as this match must necessarily be
shot under unusual conditions and at an unusual
hour, it was desirable, with a view to the avoidance
of danger, to adopt everysafeguard which prudence
could suggest, and to meet every difficulty which
ingenuity could devise. A large number of lamps
had been ordered from town, and as these failed to
arrive at the time named it was thought better to
postpone the match, amusing as it is promised to be,
than to run the risk of any occurrence calculated to
damp the hitherto brilliant success of the meeting.
Two accidents, which at the time wore an alarming
appearance, though the results were much less serious
than at first apprehended, occurred in connection with
the tramway yesterday. Through some defect in the
construction of the carriages, upon which the breaks
have acted with some difficulty, one of these vehicles
could not be stopped or materially checked in its
progress before it reached the end of the line.
Passengers, guessing what was about to happen,
leapt or threw themselves off right and left. Nearly
all escaped with slight bruises, with the exception
of one, who bled rather freely from a cut over the
eyebrow. As soon as it was washed and dressed,
however, he joined his squad, and made a respec-
table score at 500 yards for the Queen's prize. In
the other case the wheel of one of the carriages gave
way, and the foot of a passenger was unfortunately
squeezed or entangled, so that he was obliged to
receive medical assistance at the hands of Dr.
Westmacott, who acts professionally on behalf of
the Association ; he was then removed by easy
stages in the direction of his own residence. As an
illustration of the comparative indifference with
which Volunteers are disposed to view casualties in-
terfering with the object which brings them
to Wimbledon, it may be mentioned that Lien-
tenant Starkey, of the Queen's Westmin-
eters, who accidentally sprained his foot
on the previous day, discovering that he
could kneel without pain, though he could not
stand, went down in a cab to the range yesterday,
shot for the Queen's Prize, and made 14, and hopes
to be able to hold his place in the International
Enfield match on Monday next.

Corrections to Wednesday's Return of Scores,—
In 200 yards, Queen's, for Lieut. Wright, 23d Devon,
read Sergeant Toogood, 25th Devon, 16 points.
Sergeant Macrone, Ist Burry, competed for first
series extras, and not for Alexandra, making 17
points. In Alexandra, Capt. Hancocks, Ist Wor-
cester, fired at 500 yards, and not at 200, making
16 points; also Sergeant Spurrell, 12th Kent, fired
at 500 yards, and not at 200, making 16 points.

Breech-Loaders for the Army.

(From the Morning Fosl,)

We believe it is no secret that an important
change is about to be made in the armament of our
troops. It is understood that the committee ap-
pointed to consider the subject have strongly recom•
mended that the whole of our infantry should be
furnished with breech-loading rifles, and there ap-
pears to exist little doubt but that the recommenda-
tion will be acted upon.
It will not be disputed that our authorities at the
Horse Guards are keenly alive to the desirability of
keeping the forces of this country upon an equal
footing with those of other nations in the manufacs
ture as well as the practice of our weapons of
offence. The announcement which we make this
morning to the effect that steps are likely to be
immediately taken for the furnishing our whole
army with rifles on the breech-loading principle, is
a convincing proof of it, This change has in fact
long been considered, by those who have practically
studied the subject, to be one of almost absolute
necessity, the only obstacle worthy of any exami-
nation being one purely of expense. The decided
supremacy which has been lately manifested by
those foreign corps which are thus armed, the
Prussian rifle regiments, for instance, furnished
with the needle gun, has been so marked and un-
deniable that it would demonstrate the very height
of obstructiveness were England to hesitate for one
moment to emancipate herself from such an infe-
riority. For effectual service in the field a breech-
loader, properly handled, is as superior as an Enfield
is to a Brown Bess. It must, however, not be at once
concluded that the increased rapidity of firing thus
obtained is the only, or even the chief, advantage
which will be secured. Our most experienced officers
are o opinion that that is a power which may be
but too easily abused and turned to a discomfiture.
With young soldiers the facility of firing a dozen
rounds in a minute would be a sore temptation to
waste their ammunition at an ineffective distance
and with hurried aim, instead of calmly and coolly
awaiting the proper moment when the destructive
qualities of their weapon would be tested to their
utmost. With steady troops the number of rounds
per minute which are now attainable would be
held quite sufficient for all purposes by a coma
mander who knew that he could depend upon his
men for coolness when they did pull the trigger.
But, though this facility will require stern super-
vision, there are other advantages to be found in
the breech loader which render its adoption almost
indispensable. In the first place, in the ordinary
rifle, after firing many rounds, there naturally arises
an increasing difficulty in loading, an operation
which (in the excitement of action) is not at any
time to be quite so easily accomplished as when
rook-ahcoting or stalking red deer,
When under
fire that very difficulty increases the confusion of
the attempt to perform it. The cartridge which it
would be difficult to ram " home" even with care,
is left an inch from the breech by hurry, and a miss
fire, or, worse still, a burst, is the very probable
consequence. Then again it must be a very cool
hand indeed whose Effective loading under fire is not
materially interfered with by the very natural desire
to keep one's eye always on the enemy. Even the
coldest e soldiers,ofin the immediate expectation of a
cavalry,
might be well excused the miss
take of inserting a cartridge the wrong end first,
The breech loader obviates all this. The rank and
file may keep both eyes on the advancing foe—they
may stand with their rifle presenting its bayonet
towards the enemy, instead of pointing in the air,
and they can insert their cartridge by a mere me-
chanical operation which neither requires examina-
tion nor interferes with precision of aim by strain-
