given him the highest amount of pleasure not only to have
witnessed the smartness of the regiment, but to express his
admiration of the zeal, which he felt fully assured the mem-
bers of the 2nd Surrey Artillery must have exercised, in
order to enable them to attain the efficiency which he had,
generally speaking, witnessed that evening. There was one
little matter, to which he desired to direct attention, and
which struck him with no little amount of surprise, and
that was to see so admirably-equipped a battalion in other
respects appear, on such an occasion, on parade without
arms. The first thing an inspecting officer usually did was .
to watch very narrowly not only the state, but how the
regiment he was inspecting appeared under arms. It was
an admirable weapon of warfare, of which, no doubt, they
were all aware by practice, and therefore he should have
been glad to have seen them in use, for, judging from
what he had seen, ho was convinced there was sufficient
intelligence in their ranks to do anything in the world.
(Cheers.) He (Colonel Maberly) begged them not to
cheer too soon, for although he was highly pleased with
the creditable manner in which the corps had gone
through its inspection, he by no means intended to con-
vey by the observation he had made that they were per-
fect. They had a very great deal to learn before it could
be said they had arrived at perfection. It was only by
adopting and attending their drill as a habit that they
could hope to arrive at that climax.. He (Colonel Maberly)
was well aware that volunteers could not bring their minds
to believe it was necessary that they should be drilled in
such a way as to make them, as it were, a mere piece of
machinery, yet such was really the fact, if they desired to
make good soldiers. The reason a man usually became a
dead shot with his firelock was, because he so drilled him-
if to its use as to render it a force of habit, and hence
force of habit became in the mind of thatparticular man his
duty, and he thus became, as it were, a piece of machinery,
and consequently an efficient soldier. After offering a few
further observations on the subject of discipline, and com-
plimenting the regiment again on its zeal and its smart-
ness, he called upon them to stand to their flag and stick
to their duty, and they would find as volunteers that not
only would they receive the good opinion of their friends,
but that their country would stick by them. (Loud cheers.)
Lieut.-Col. DURNFORD expressed his thanks to Colonel
Maberly for the very kind remarks he had made use of
towards the regiment, and begged to assure him that the
suggestions he had offered should on a future occasion be
rigidly adhered to. He then proposed three cheers for the
inspecting officer, which were cordially given.
Col. MABERLY was much obliged to them for this com-
pliment. It would be his duty to make a most favourable
report to the War-office, and ho only hoped that the in-
specting officer another year would find them even more
perfect than he had done, although he must confess he had
never seen a smarter or better-drilled body of volunteers in
his life.
The proceedings then closed with three cheers for the
commanding officer.

THE GREAT NATIONAL BELGIAN RIFLE

CONTEST.

The second great national Belgian rifle contest, open to
all comers, is appointed to commence on the 24th instant,
under the patronage of the King of the Belgians, the Duke
of Brabant, and the Count de Flandres ; and a committee,
representing the volunteers of England, has been formed
for the purpose of making arrangements for taking part in
so interesting a competition. The aggregate value of the
prizes to be awarded amounts to about 70,000 f. Tho com-
petition is to be divided into two series of prizes, the first
being for military rifles of any bore, and the second for
any rifles of any bore, this latter competition to be open to
rifles of all kinds, without artificial rests. In accordance
with the programme of the arrangements, the contest will
commence at nine a.m., a salvo of five guns to announce
the opening of the meeting. ;The shooting will, commence
immediately afterwards at gun fire. Subsequently the
shooting is to commence at eight each morning, be dis-
continued from twelve till one, and close at six p.m. Tho
range will be 246 yards, or 225 metres. For competitors 1,
2, and 3, the targets are to be circular, of a diameter of 11
yard, with a bull's-eye of 74 inches. Targets to be divided
into five circles. Bull's-eye to count 5 ; second circle, 4 ;
third circle, 3 ; fourth circle 2 ; and the fifth circle one
point. When the bullet hits the line of demarkation of a
circle the point nearest the centre of the target, judging of
the centre of the bullet, will be given at the value. When
the same competiton shall have one high point and a good
bull's-eye in the same competition he will take the highest
prize—in the case of a tie it will be decided by the best
bull's-eye. Each competitor is to load his own rifle, and
the prizes are to be shot for in uniform. The prizes are to
be distributed on Sunday, the 22d October, at noon at the
" Temple des Augustins," and those not distributed on
that day can be claimed at the " Tir National," on the 29th
October and sth November, from 10 to 12 a.m., and all
prizes not claimed on either of those days will be returned
to the Government. It is understood that a considerable
number of our well-known volunteer crack shots have
already sent in their names to the`London committee as
intending to take part in the forthcoming contest.
