After one break away, in which Fantail, Erin-go-Bragh,
and Blithfield were the performers, the lot were despatched
from the post in close company, but on settling into their
places, Fantail, with Dr. Syntax and Oakapple at her quar-
ters, made play at a steady pase, followed by Joey Jones,
Erin-go-Bragh, and the favourite, the others, who were
headed by Victor, Blithfield, and Barchettina on the right
lying close up with them. In this way they came past the,
stand, but, on rounding the top turn, Victor got his head up,
and ran out, taking with him Blithfield and Lord Stamford's
filly, the three being left a long way in the rear of the
leading horses. Proceeding along the far side, the pace
somewhat mended, Joey Jones, on reaching the mile, taking
the third place, closely followed by The Knave, Oakapple
going on next, with Erin-go-Bragh and Flytrap at his side.
Little or no alteration occurred in these positions until they
entered the straight, where Joey Jones and Oakapple
dropped back, leaving The Knave, next the rails, in attend-
ance upon Fantail and Dr. Syntax, who came on abreast to
the distance, where the former was disposed of, leaving the
Doctor in possession of the lead, but who in a few strides
further was headed by The Knave, who won very cleverly
by half a length, Dr. Syntax beating Flytrap by a length
for second. Blithfield was a bad fourth, and Fant ail fifth
placed. Barchettina was sixth, Erin-go-Bragh seventh,
and Joey Jones next. Oakapple was last. and did not pass

strides, obtained the lead, Gavazzi taking his place by the
side of The Monk. This order they maintained until ap-

WIMBLEDON PRIZE MEETING.

The firing for the last stage of the Queen's Prize
yesterday, although the most valuable and honour-
able prize which the competitors can obtain, failed
to draw any large number of visitors, and the Com-
mon presented a striking contrast with its busy
aspect of the previous day. At a few of the firing
points where the competitors were firing through
the second stages of 800, 000, and 1,000 yards,there
were knots of spectators assembled—attracted and
held to the spot by professional interest rather than
by curiosity in the proceedings. At the longer
range of 1,000 yards the admiring spectator could
see in the lar distance a dark wound of earth,
and by close scrutiny he might also observe a
white speck, which is the target ; and a still smaller
black speck, which forms the centre. The volun-
teers who are engaged in the firing are wholly ab-
sorbed in their work ; they are seriously, oppres-
sively in earnest, and their earnestness extends to
those who are standing by. M each volunteer
ascends the small rampart of earth from which he
is to firo he does so with all the solemnity of
being one of a firing party at a funeral or an execu-
tion. Every eye is directed to him as he falls
slowly and cautiously on one knee, as though care-
fully avoiding in every motion anything calculated
to disturb the nerves or even to quicken the pulsa-
tion. He then slowly assumes the well-known
Hythe position, kneeling on the right knee, and
seated on the heel of the right foot, the elbow on the
left knee supporting the rifle. In this position he
carefully surveys the distant target, to be sure that
lie has the right one before him ; from that he gives
a glance to his trusty rifle ; again his eye wanders
to the distant target, scanning more closely the
darkened mass before him, until his eye rests on the
small white speck to which he hopes to send his
leaden messenger ; again there is a look to the rifle,
and, one might almost fancy, a prayer to the god of
rifles that his trusty weapon will send the bullet
home to the coveted mark. Crouching beneath the
shade of the temporary canvas awning, the volun-
teer slowly raises his rifle to his shoulder, the sun-
light gleams along a portion of its well-polished
barrel, and a closely-observant spectator can notice
how the flickering light dazzles the
eye of the marks-
man. Again and again he tries to
adjust the rifle;
sometimes there is a nervous unconscious twitching
of the hand that grasps securely the lower portion
of the barrel ; sometimes the weapon vibretes as
though the hand that held it were stricken with
palsy ; in other hands it is rigid and motionless as
it is steadfastly directed towards its aim; men and
women standing around speak only in whispers, for
they fear to distract the attention of the rifleman
from his target, and at last, in the midst of a
silence broken only by the crack of the rifle at
the next range, cr the whizzing noise of the
bullet from a neighbouring firing point as it speeds
on its way; the trigger falls, there is a flash of fire,
a sharp report, a puff of white smoke, the rifle starts
backward at the stock, and upward at the muzzle,
and all is anxious, earnest expectation. Looking
through one of the many excellent telescopes which
the enterprise of competing opticians have placed
upon the ground, the result of the shot may be seen
by the signal of the markers. If a bull's-eye or
centre is made there is no great cheering, and no
outward display of enthusiasm, for with due con-
sideration for the great prize at stake it is thought
that any such display would but disconcert the com-
petitors. When, however, the last shot is fired, the
pent-up feelings find expression in one general shout
of applause.
The winner of the Queen's Prize this year is
Private Roberts, of the 12th Shropshire. His name
does not appear in the list of the first 30 for the
Queen's Prize, and ho made but 40 points in firing
through the three first ranges—standing last hut
three in order of merit in the 60. The winner is a
working man, and it is certain that he had never
before shot with a snisl,bore rifle. Last year the
prize was won by Sergeant Pixley, of the Victoria's,
with the moderate score of 44, while this year the
score made was 65. The 1132X111111111 this year that
could be made, as in the last year, was 84. Pixley
made little more than one-half of the highest pos-
sible number ; while this year Roberts makes more
than three-fourths of the highest possible score.
Pixley scored two points over the moiety of the
total number possible; Roberts has also scored two
points over the three fourths of the whole number
that could be obtained by making bull's-eyes at each
of the seven shots iu the three ranges. The contest
between Roberts and Graham—the next best shot,
was a very close one. At the sixth round of tha
1,000 yards range, Graham had scored 61, with one
shot yet to film. Had he made a bull's-eye his score

would have been 65, or equal to that of Roberts ;
but, according to the rules of the association, there
would have been no tie, and Graham would
according to the rules of the association have been
declared the winner, as he was better placed at the
first stage. He made a very capital centre for his
last shot, making his total number 64. Private
Wisker, who carried off the silver medal, and came
in at the head of the 60, was completely displaced
at the longer ranges, being among the very lowest
of the scores, and Sergeant Millard, who was second
at the close of the first stege, fared very little better
than Wisher. As compared with the shooting last
year a very marked improvement is manifest. Pix-
ley, the winner of 1862, made 18 points at the 800,
11. at 900, and 15 at the 1,000 yards. Among the
best shots of that year, who were greatly distanced
on this occasion, were—Simpkins, Ist Notts, 42 ;
Fergusson, Ist Inverness, 42; Williams, 19th Mid-
dlesex, 41; Crawford, 13th Suffolk, 41; Gee, 55th
Lancashire, 41; and Anderson, 22d Middlesex, 40.
The remaining scores were one each at 39, 36, 35,
34, 32, 30, 29, and 28. There were three at 27,
two at 26, one at 23, one at 21, four at 20, and one
at 19. The average of the shooting at the 800 yards
by 46 competitors was 12'30 points ; at 900, by 37
competitors, nine having retired, 9.56; and at the
1,000 yards by 27 competitors, 10 more having
retired, the average was 6.29. The average through
the three distances was 30.74. The following
scores of yesterday's shooting will enable the reader
to trace the improvement made during the last
twelve months among the volunteers, so far as it
has been tested by this competition for the Queen's
Prize :

We have no further accident to record, and the
disc marking, which was adopted for the final stages
of the Queen's Prize, worked very satisfactorily.
The council had very properly laid down a rule
that competitors firing at the wrong target should
be disqualified. One of the law makers has in this
respect been a law breaker, and Lord Elcho, much
to the surprise of come, and the amusement of others,
when firing at pool, at 200 yards, hit the wrong
target, and was of course disqualified from further
shooting. The marvel is, considering how closely
the targets are placed to each other, that mistakes
of this sort are not more frequently made,
and the fact that Lord Elcho had selected the
wrong target is evidence that errors of this kind
may be committed by the crack shots at Wimbleo.
It is quite possible that some of the accidents Which
etraced
we have had to record would, if they w
to their real cause, be found due to this
firinger at
the
wrong target. Among
others who, like Lord
Elcho, have been disqualified, are Sergeant Strutt,
