THE WIMBLEDON PRIZE MEETING.

Though there was plenty of shooting going on, Satur-
day was looked upon as an " off day," and those who had,
during the past three days, been screwed up to high
pressure in order to get through the business,
took things decidedly easy. And this was not
a matter of surprise, for, looking at the fact that
at least ten competitions have been progressing every day,
one of them with nearly 2,000 men engaged, it has required
all the energy and tact of the officers to keep affairs in
order, and the work so far having been successfully
accomplished, a day's rest, or partial rest, is an essential.
The statistical department, upon which so much
depends, has been conducted throughout the meeting
in the most admirable manner, and reflects the highest
credit upon all engaged in it. There was one mistake in the
list issued on Friday, but this in no way reflects upon the
statistical department. It was not discovered until this
morning when Private Harvies, of the Civil Service Corps
returned his aggregate card, which should havebeen given
up yesterday, and which chewed him to have
scored 45 points for 'the first stage of the Queen's.
The effect of this is to displace Major Arnold of the 2nd
Surrey from the 60 best, and he has to be contented with
a £3 prize instead of winning £lO and a silver badge. The
further effect is to remove Captain Harrison of the
North York, entirely from the prize list.
On Friday night another thunderstorm passad over the
camp, but though rain fell copiously in some districts of the
metropolis, Wimbledon fortunately escaped, and the
volunteers were thus saved the inconvenience which they
experienced at the beginning of the wedk. The maximum
temperature on Saturday wss 114, the maximum tempera-
ture in the shade 82, the minimum temperature during
the night 55 ; and the barometer stands at 29'858.
On Saturday morning the Whitworth rifles, with which
the second stage of Queen's was shot, were delivered out to
those entitled to compete at the longer ranges, and several
gratets were placed at the disposal of the men for sighting
purposes. The final competition takes place to-morrow.
The China Cup, which is shot for by county teams, has
been completed, as also have the Windmill Prizes,
the International Enfield Match, the Association Cup,
the Volley Prizes, &c. Altogether there has been plenty
of shooting and very little excitement.
