sage; and as it was particularly requested that her
arrival should be kept as secret as possible, but few

brother, the Earl of Durham (who went to Suez
expressly to meet his widowed sister), and by the
two younger members of his family. The Countess
of Elgin was attended by the Hon. T. J. Howell
Thurlow, private secretary to the late Viceroy of
India, who had been officially charged by the Go-
vernment to conduct her ladyship to England. Sir

dance. After a short stay at the Royal Ship Hotel
the Countess of Elgin left Dover by the four o'clock
express train on the London, Chatham, and Dover
Railway, and arrived in London soon after six.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

CONTEST FOR THE BOROUGH OF MARYLE-
BONE CHALLENGE CUP.

Yesterday a most interesting and exciting contest took
place at the ranges of the West Middlesex, the Queen's,
St. George's, and Paddington Rifles at Wormwood Scrubs,
for the possession for the year of the Borough of Maryle-
bone Challenge Cup, value 50 guineas, presented by Lord
Fermoy and Mr. Harvey Lewis, the borough members, for
annual competition between the four corps established in
the district, viz., the West Middlesex, the North Middle-
sex, the 20th Middlesex, and the 36th Middlesex (Padding-
ton) Rifles. The terms of the contest were of a somewhat
mystifying and not very equal character, namely, that each
corps shall be represented by one man for every 50 effectives
returned to the War• office under the late regulations; ten
shots at each range of 200, 500, and 600 yards each man,
the average to be taken of the shooting for each regiment.
By this arrangement, whilst the 20th Middlesex had to
compete with eight men, and the North Middlesex with
seven men, the West Middlesex had but six men, and
the Paddington only three men. Capt. M'Gregor, of the
London Scottish, acted as umpire, and there were on the
ground Lieut.-Col. Wood, Major Bridgman, Capt. Lochner,
Capt. Jones, and a number of other officers and gentlemen
connected with the various regiments. The match com-
menced at 10 o'clock, with drizzling rain, and the wind
blowing in a south-westerly direction across the left of the
ranges, and continued so mostly throughout. The average
shooting with all the corps showed a vast improvement upon
that of last year, when the West Middlesex won the cup by
a very small average above the North Middlesex. At the
conclusion the West Middlesex were again the winners, the
average shooting of the respective corps being as follows :
West Middlesex, 68, 66; Paddington, 65, 66; North Mid-
dlesex, 62, 14; 20th Middlesex, 56, 75,
There can be no question but that the corps which had
the smaller number of men have on this principle the greatest
ad vantage ; and as Alr: Hall, of the Paddington Rifles, made
the splendid score of 85, had his two colleagues made average
good shooting, the cup must have fallen into their hands. At
the conclusion three cheers were given for the West Mid-
dlesex by their antagonists, and also for Mr. Hall, of the
Paddingtons, as having made the highest score on the ground.
The West Middlesex also gave three cheers for their oppo-
nents, and the proceedings terminated.
