TUE VOLUNTEER 1110VEME VT.

On Monday the prizes offered by the 4th
Glamorgan Volunteer Artillery were shot for at
Cardiff. The prizes were-Ist, a handsome sil-
ver cup ; 2d, a breach-loading pistol ; 3d, a silver
medal. There were upwards of 40 competitors'
from the Glamorgan and Monmouth Corps. The
first prize was won by Private John Owen, of the
Dowlais Company, 2d Glamorgan. An informality
in conducting the shooting caused some doubt as
to the winner of the second prize. The difficulty
was got over by the officers of the Volunteer Artil-
lery handsomely presenting a duplicate of this
prize to the second claimant. The winners of these
prizes were Private William J. Jenkins, of the
Dowlais Company 2d Glamorgan (who won the
first prize at the
last competition at Cardiff), and
Lieut. Gethin, of the Newport Company, Mon-
mouthshire. The third prize was won by Sergeant
Thomas, of the Swansea Company, 3d Glamorgan.
On Monday the general muster of the 4th Bucks
(Aylesbury) corps was made the occasion of festivi-
ties for the inhabitants of the district. The

magiceuvres, included a miniature sham fight, a
skirmishing party being detached into the woods,
and defending
a Position so selected as to afford
cover for retreat. The most interesting feature
of the
day,
