making the highest score at 500 yards, becomes the
winner of the prize.
A similar contest for a cup for small-bore mem-
bers of the Association coinnienced o❑ Saturday, but
from the unfavourable weather very few persons
shot for it.

The sixty highest scorers in the first stage of the
Queen's Prize paraded at 9.45 a.m. on Saturday
morning in front of the Council, and had the mili-
tary Whitworth rifles served out to them, with which
they will compete in the second stage. Targets
were placed at their disposal for sighting, and they
will continue their practice to-day before commenc-
ing the grand contest of the meeting to-morrow
morning.

In the second series of extra prizes, for Enfields,
at 500 yards, five rounds, the following is the cor
rected list of prize winners :

In the third series of extra prizes, for small bores,
at 600 yards, the number of " highest possibles"
made involved the necessity of resorting to tic
shooting to decide the order of priority. The re-
sults were as follows :

As a sequel to the International Enfield Match,
there is a competition by the highest scorer in each
team, for the possession of a splendid piece of plate
called "The Irish International Challenge Trophy."
The three highest scorers were Private Smythe, of
the Ist Lanark, for Ireland, who made on Tuesday
last the fine score of 68 ; Private Hay, of the Lon-
don Scottish, for Scotland, who made 65 ; and
Corporal Rumball, of the 3d Herts, for England,
who made 63. These three excellent shots fired
over the same course on Saturday (seven shots at
200, 500, and 600 yards), when Private Hay im-
proved on his previous score by registering 66,
while the other two competitors fell off respectively,
Private Smythe to 53, and Corporal Rumball to
42. Scotland, therefore, holds the trophy for the
year.

The match between the Lords and Commons,
fixed for Saturday afternoon, and which would, but
for the storm, have been the most brilliant of this
series of contests between the Upper and Lower
Chambers of the Legislature, was deprived of much
of its interest. The crowds of fashionable specta-
tors who would have eagerly watched every shot of
noble lords and gentlemen bad been driven away
drenched and disheartened from the common. It
was, therefore, no small credit to the competitors
that they should have come gallantly to the scratch
and contended in the most closely fought match
that has yet taken place between the two Houses.
Five of a side were all that could be mustered ; but
these proved to be wonderfully even in skill. The
conditions were 200 and 500 yards, 7 shots at each,
any rifle, any position. At 200 yards the Lords
were five ahead; but at 500 yards, the admirable
shooting of Lord Eleho, coached by Captain Ross,
Mr. Fordyce, and Mr. Malcolm, turned the scale,
and the Commons became the winners by 6 marks,
nominally, but really only by two, because one noble
lord fired at the wrong target, making a bull's-eye,
of which his squad did not get the benefit. The
following are the scores and the names of the com-
petitors :

After the public reception by the Prince of
Wales some fe tv of the Belgians commenced
shooting for the third series, at 150 yards. Their
practice excited considerable curiosity amongst
the volunteers, a goodly crowd of whom sur-
rounded the firing points. Several of the com-
petitors were obviously not much accustomed to
target practice. Those who made the best shooting
had evidently undergone a course of musketry
instruction somewhat analogous to our Hythe
system. They stood to their work in good military
attitude, though probably one of our Hythe staff
sergeants would, in some minor details, have been
able to suggest improvements. The Belgian weapons
—at least those of the contingent who are row here
—are far inferior to our regulation arms. They are
arms of large bore, those of the Garde Civique
having the appearance of smooth-bore muskets,
adapted to modern requirements by being rifled
with four shallow grooves. The weapon of the
Chasseurs Eclaireurs is about the length of our short
Enfield, but also of large bore with polygroove
rifling. The artillery carry a carbine of a similar
character. The musket of the Garde Civique ap-
pears to have a fixed block for a back sight, which
would not give sufficient elevation for 500 yards.
The rifle of the Chasseurs has a flap and slider to
adjust the sight for different ranges. The bullet
used must be heavier than the Enfield, but the charge
of powder appears to be lighter. At 150 yards the
practice made, though inferior to what we should
expect from fairly good shots, was respectable, and
at 209 yards the same result may be anticipated ;
but unless the arms are much bettor than one would
imagine from their appearance, the shooting at 500
yards would be very wild and unsatisfactory. Seve-
ral of the Belgians fired a round or two from the
Enfield with results that show they would soon be
able to do well with them. It is, therefore,
the the consideration of the council whether for t e
series a few good Enfields might not be provided
for the Belgian marksmen, so that the competition
might be conducted with some little satisfaction to
all concerned. f° ed in the
