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 Victorias, a considerable number
of visitors made their way to Wimbledon yesterday.
Among these was a large
proportion of ladies,
whcse 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-
ferio,
rity, The lions of the camp are well worth a
visit even from ladies, who cannot be expected to
feel any deep interest in the science of rifle-shoot-
ing, recondite as that has become in the successive

stages of improvement through which it has
passed. For instance, what can be more charming
than the prospect from the hill in front of " Victoria

refreshment contractor, has erected; and, last, the
commercial avenue or bazaar, in which everything
needful for occupants of the temp, from rifles and
ammunition to " mufti" for ruining up to town,
may be procured. The apeatecle 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 Queen's Prize have their sleeves covered with
insignia.
" "

Looking round upon the vast assembly, all en-
gaged in a common pursuit, and all pursuing it with
the utmost earrness, it is impossible to resist the
reflection, " Before the volunteer system existed
how did these men employ their time." The enthu-
siasm with which they have thrown themselves into
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 Aasociation, 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 i+s novelty, and these
add 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 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-
