shooting, scoring 21 marks, and at the termination
of this range the Cambridge University was leading
the Oxford by 16.
The great business of the day was the contest
between the members of the Houses of Lords and
Commons, seven shots each, at 200 and 500 yards.
The following were representatives of each branch
of the Legislature :
House of Lords—Ducie, Eldon, Lismore, Suffield,
Vernon, Abercorn, Aberdeen, Airlie, Bolton, Duf-
ferin, and Spencer.

House of Commons—Lord Elcho, Mr. Dillwyn,
Mr. Vivian, Mr. Malcolm, Mr. Humberston, Lord
Bury, Lord Grosvenor, Capt. Hon. H. Wyndham,
Mr. Talbot, Mr. Forster, and Hon. W, E. Dan-
combs.

The match was appointed to take place at three
o'clock, but long before that time arrived hundreds
of carriages, filled with fashionable company, came
on the ground, and made their way towards the
firing point at the 200 yards range, where the pro-
ceedings were to take place, in expectation of the
Royal visitors. At twenty-five minutes to four
o'clock a shout in the disrance proclaimed the ap-
proach of the Royal party, and in a few minutes
afterwards the carriages containing the Princess of
Wales and the Hon. Mrs. Stonor, preceded by Lord
Elcho and other members of the council, came upon
the ground. The Prince of Wales, who was at.
tended by Colonel Grey, immediately followed on
horseback, and was received with' loud cheers by
the assembled crowd. The flag of the National
Rifle Association was hauled down, and the Royal
Standard hoisted in its place. They drove directly
to the firing range, and the whole party took
their seats in the tent, and the band of the Victories
playing the National Anthem. The Princess of
Wales was attended by the Hon. Mrs. Stonor in
waiting, and accompanied by the Duchess of Man.
cheater, Lady Constance Grosvenor, the Countess
Spencer, and Lady Elcho. The Prince of Wales
was attended by Colonel Grey, and accompanied by
the Duke of Sutherland, Lord Elcho and several
other members of the council. For the information
of our lady readers we may state that the Princess
wore a black satin dress, white lace mantle, white
straw hat, with a deep black border and white
feathers.

The shooting soon afterwards commenced, but it
was evident that the Lords were gaining a great
advantage over the Commoners, for the shooting of
the Earl D acie was first-rate ; at 200 yards he made
6 bull's eyes and 1 centre in seven shots, counting
27, while at the 500 yards he was almost equally
successful, making 5 bull's eyes and 2 centres, count-
ing 20.
The firing at this range having been brought to
a close, the Royal party, accompanied by the coun-
cil, proceeded to the 500 yards, where they again
received a very cordial greeting, and the company
was here more numerous than at the other stage.
As the day appeared to be against members of the
Lower House they seemed determined if possible to
regain the position they last year occupied, but, as
the result turned out, in vain, the Lords winning by
a majority of 464 to 424.
As soon as this was brought to a close the Prince
and Princess of Wales were escorted by Lord Elcho
to the Exhibition Tent, where the different articles
intended to be given as prizes were displayed, and
which they carefully examined. They afterwards
inspected the stalls for optical instruments of Messrs
Barron, of Malvern; Mr Steward, of the Strand;
Messrs Elkington, and Messrs Hancock, and re-
mained for a considerable time examining the dis-
play of articles exhibited by Messrs Mappin and
Webb, of Oxford•street, the Princess enpressing
her gratification at some articles of a domestic use,
but presented in a unique and elegant form.

After the Prince and Princess had left the Exhi-
bition Tent they were conducted by Lord Echo to
the Royal 'rent opposite to the Cottage, where
they partook of refreshment, and shortly before
seven o'clock they quitted the common amidst the
most enthusiastic cheering, the band of the London
Scottish playing " God bliss the Prince of Wales."
During the whole time there were several thou-
sands of persons present, and nothing could be more
excellent than the arrangements made by the police
on the occasion for securing the comfort of all. They
were under the able direction of Superintendent
Butt, and Inspectors Bryant, Denning, and Hare,
and even the sergeants were animated by the same
desire to give every facility in their power for all to
be accommodated to the fullest extent.
The band of the Victories and London Scottish
played throught the afternoon, and the Prince ex-
pressed the pleasure he had experienced, and
invited them to attend that evening at White Lodge,
Richmond Park, and play there during dinner.
Some extraordi eery shooting was made by Capt.
Heaton, of the 3d Manchester, one of the com-
petitors for the Association Cup. Ho fired tea
times, five at 200 yards, and five at 600 yards, the
most that could be made, counting 40, but as he
was winner of the cup last year he is precluded
from taking it again, and he receives but honour
for his pains.

of the day :
