competitors disappointed in their hopes of obtaining
the Queen's prize would have left. He invited them
to offer any suggestions to which they might attach

The assembly cordially endorsed the compliments
which Lord Elcho felt it due to Colonel Luard and
,wouanldd
Major Ruston to pass upon the camp administra-
tion, and did not supplement in any way the
complaint which his Lordship said was the only
one made to him on this subject—that of a gen-
tleman who had discovered three earwigs in his
hut. They fart her expressed their approval audibly
when the Commissariat arrangements were men-
tioned ; but a full burst of enthusiasm was elicited
when Lady Elcho was incidentally referred to as
"an enthusiastic Volunteer." The meeting, which
before sat comfortably watching the blaze, or listen-
ing to the remarks of Lord Elcho, found its feet
and its voice at exactly the same moment. Amore

volunteers felt was not the case under the old flag
which the working of the disc system had been at-
till it had been tried for three months successfully
ad-
mitted that in what he had done Colonel Steele was
quite justified—in fact, that in his position he could
have done no less. But the volunteers, having been
thrown upon their own resources, came forward
nobly, and enabled the Council to man the butts.
Subsequent experience had convinced the Council
that, although the system of marking which had
been in operation was perfectly safe, when properly
carried out, for long ranges and at private butts,
it was not equally reliable when masses of men
came forward to shoot often in such a nervous and
excited state that they saw three bull's-eyes instead
of one. The Council at the same time did not like
wholly to abandon the disc system, and therefore
Captain Drake—whose absence from that meeting
they lamented—was hard at work effecting arrange-
ments which would enable the disc-marking to be
maintained, at the same time providing for the
safety of the markers. This announcement
afforded the most unqualified satisfaction, far on
the part of the volunteers there seems to be a
great dislike to any system which does not
show the part of the target struck. A return
to the mere recording of miters, centres, and
bull's-eyes they regard as a retrograde move-
ment. Tho festive element, to the success of
which the efforts of Lieutenant Harris and others,
and the hospitable arrangements of the Victoria
Rifles greatly contributed, asserted itself for a time.
Afterwards the suggestions which had been invited
by the chairman began to flow in pretty freely upon
the Council. These were mainly to the effect that,
when the number of entries was unusually great, I
additional prizes should be given ; at ell the
purely Volunteer prizes,, Including the Queen's
prize, should be shot off on the opening days of the
meeting, if possible on the first or second day ; that
the prizes for small bores, universally regarded as
the weapons of the man of leisure, should be post-
poned till afterwards; that measures should be taken
for preventing overcrowding at the firing points;
and that the competitors, wherever practicable,
should be squadded and told cff to targets in every
case, as in the shooting for the Queen's prize. Lord
Elcho replied at some length to the different sug-
gestions which had been made. He left to Captain
Page the task of explaining the intricacies of the
arrangements at the firing points. He could call the
exertions of that officer—which were entirely unre-
munerative—nothing less than Herculean; only
that day he had worked at these details for eight
hours consecutively. The question of prizes to be
offered by the Association was simply a question of
money and he thought it a disgrace to the people of
England that a national institution, essential to the
progress and even to the stability of rifle-shooting,
should be dependent for its existence upon receipts
from chance entries, pool and sighting targets.
Somebody in the crowd ventured a suggestion that
the Association was " not popular," an assertion
which was met by an indignant storm of dissentient
voices, which stifled that question in a manner as
effectually as that in which a previous attempt to
excite discussion on " the dismissal clause" of the
Volunteers' Bill had been got fed of. The meeting
felt that the Council was taking an open and manly
step in consulting their views end eliciting their
opinions, and they were not disposed to tolerate the
introduction of purely vexatious topics. An equallyt
