The 3d London, better known as the Red-coated
Working Men's Corps, assembled in the Guildhall
on Saturday night to receive from Lord Napier of
Magdala the prizes awarded for successful rifle
shooting during the " Volunteer year," which ended
the 30th ult. The Lord Mayor occupied the chair,
and when he entered the hall, wearing his robes of
office, full military honours were paid to him by the
assembled zegiment, which then stood drawn up in
the centre of the ball in quarter distance column.
Lord Napier, who arrived soon after, and wore the
uniform of the 3d City as its honorary colonel, was
received with the usual salute, and he at once made a
minute inspection of the ranks, which were opened
for the purpose. Colonel Laurie, in opening the
immediate proceedings of the evening, congratu-
lated the regiment that the great increase of last
year had not been materially altered this year, for
there were 871 efficients on the previous year, while
this year there were 874, but in the extra efficients
there was a falling off to the extent of 10. Thera
was, he knew, great difficulty in the way of work-
ing men going eight, ten, and twelve miles from
London to butts at which to shoot their classes, but
he thought much more would be done than was
done if officers would take their companies down in
a body to class fire. He expressed the great pride at
the good musters of the corps at the great reviews,
and, referring to the action of the late and present
Government towards the force, expressed his opinion
that some assistance in the way of assisting the
rank and file with uniforms ought to be given to a
force which for ten years maintained itself without
such assistance. Speaking as though he antici-
pated that the Volunteers who had served during
the existence of the institution would now draw
the line of their service, be appealed to the old
members not to resign, but to keep to the ranks
they had so long tilled. The prizes were then
presented by Lord Napier, and the chief winners
of the battalion prizes for marksmen, presented
by the Ward of Farringdon, the Skinners', the
Merchant Taylors', and the Scriveners' Com-
panies were : —Sergeant A. Jordan, Colour-Ser-
geant Clifford, Corporal W. Good, Quartermaster
Sergeant'lleath, Private J. Jackson, and Corporal
Nicholas. The " best shot" o the battalion was Ser-
geant P. Harvey. Other prizes were presented by
the late Lard Mayor, and a " Napier Challenge
Cup," presented by Lord Napier, had been won by
Captain Causton's company. Subsequently his
Lordship made a short address to the regiment and
the Volunteers present, in which he greatly com-
mended the institution of which they formed a

part, and expressed his pride at being connected
with men who sacrificed so much for patriotism.

The Lord Mr.yor also spoke in terms expressive of
cordial approval of the fc,rce, and the proceedings
terminated in the usual manner.
