The St. George's Challenge Vase.

-- -....--

This great Volunteers' priz-, which is second only
to the," Queen's" in honour and importance, will be
shot for at the next July meeting of the National
Rifle Association on Wimbledon-common under
different regulations to those which governed the
previous competitions. There will be a first and
second stage, as in the Queen's Prize; but both,
unlike the Queen's Prize, will be shot for with the
same weapons, whatever then may be the Volun-
teer weapon. The weapons, targets, marking,
and ammunition are to be the same •as adopted
for Volunteer prizes ; but there is no occa-
sion for any supposition that the use of other than
military sights will be sanctioned, and the course
which has been followed in previous years of making
the competition one for encouraging Volunteers
to shoot in the position they had been trained to
for service in the field will, doubtless, be fol-
lowed in this. The first stage will be shot for at
500 yards, with seven shots, and each enrolled corps
is entitled to send competitors at the rate of two for
each company. Each competitor must be an " effi-
cient," and 10s. entrance fee for each one entered
will have to be paid. Each competitor will be en-
titled to compete for the vase and other prizes in
the first stage. The first prize will be the vase itself,
which is to be held for a year by the commandant
of the battalion of which the winner is a member,
and the winner himself will receive the gold and
enamelled jewel of St. George and a purse of ten
" dragon" sovereigns. The second prize is the sil-
ver and enamelled jewel of St. George and eight
dragon sovereigns; the third, the bronze cross of St.
George and a purse of six dragon sovereigns ; and
so on, with prizes of purses of dragon sovereigns
to the 50th prize, the winner of which has two.
All these -winners, and the ten next scores, who
are to compete together in the second stage, are
to be entitled to handsome distinguishing badges,
bearing Petruccio's design of St. George and the
Dragon, to be worn permanently upon the arm, as
the Queen's badges are. The chief second stage prize
is to be a cup value £5O, which is to be the exclu-
sive property of the highest score at this stage, and
five other prizes are to be given to the next best
scores. There is no entrance fee to be paid in this
stage, which will be shot for with seven shots at GOO
yards. The vase was presented by Lieut.-Col. Hon.
C. H. Lindsay, the commandant of the St. George's
Rifle Volunteer Corps, and the competition has al-
ways been a favourite one with the Volunteers, as,
being contested for by efficient members, it has en-
couraged drill, and being shot for with the military
arm, with Government ammunition, and in the
Hythe position, there was an equal chance for all.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, Feb. 16.

We have at length some details of the insurrec-
tionary movements in Kerry, all the Dublin papers
having sent special reporters to Killarney. In their
necessarily hurried despatches which appear this
morning, and other correspondence from the South-
ern papers, there are many different versions of al-
most every report. The following is a connected
narrative of Is hat has occurred.

The special correspondent of the Freeman gives
the following account of the attack on the police-
man :—" Duggan was riding from Killorglin to
Cahirciveen, with despatehesfrom County Inspector
Collura to Sub-Inspector Anketell, and also with

the warrant for O'Connor. Ile met the Fenians,
and they called upon him to give up his papers, pro-
mising, if he did so, not to molest him. He refused,
and they were proceeding to attack him, when he drew
his sword, put spurs to his horse, and dashed through
them. A number of shots were fired after him, but
at last one hit him in the back and he fell to the
ground. The papers, his arms, and horse were taken.
Some of the party, however, carried him to a house,
and he, believing he was dying, begged of them,
for God's sake,
to get him a priest. They consented,
and two of the party were on their way for the
purpose, when they were met by the Rev. Mr.
M'Ginn, parish priest of Glenbegh, and directed him
where to find Duggan. The priest at once attended
him and had him removed to where he could receive
proper medical treatment. The same clergyman,
having learnt that the party were about to attack
the police barracks at Rosbeg, got there in time to
warn the
Police, and then he took his course so as to
meet the
Fenians. He called on them to abandon
their dreadful work, and told them not to attack
the barracks, as the
police were ready for them, and
were determined to defend their barracks to the last
ex trem i ty.
the information.'
The priest, raising his hat, said,
` Then, sir,' said the leader, you gave
' Yes, I did so. If necessary I would do so again,
and lam prepared for the consequences.' After
some discussion they allowed the priest to pass, and
they took care not to approach the barracks. I may
mention that Glenbegh is about 14 miles from Kil-
larney. The first intimation given of the contem-
plated movement was by a little barefooted girl to
the house of Mr. T. Gallwey, J.P.,
the agent of
Lord Castlerosse. Mr. Gallwey asked her from
whom she brought it, and she said it was given to
her by an old man whom she did not know. This
letter stated that a man known to the Fenians as
Capt. Murty Moriarty,' an Irish American, was
coming on the car from Cahirciveen to Killarney,
and that he had on his person treasonable papers,
with an introduction to a young man named
Sheehan, a shopman in Killarney. The letter also
states that Moriarty would be recognised as having
a ' broken nose.' Mr. Gallwey and Mr. Coltsmaa
sent out the police, who met the car four miles out-
side Killarney, and arrested on it a man answering
this description. He had on his person the letter of
introduction from the before named O'Connor. This
letter stated the persons in Killarney were to act
under Captain Moriarty's orders ; that they
would be co-operated with; that Lord Castlerosse's
house was to be burnt, and the banks and other
houses attacked and plundered. Moriarty is now
in Tralee gaol, and along with him the young
man Sheehan, to whom he had the letter of intro-
duction, and also a carpenter named Garde, said to
be implicated by the papers.
Among the persons recognised with the Fenians
was a building contractor from Killarney and also
a well-to do farmer. Some of the magistrates think
that the Fenians have forced a few of the peasantry
to accompany and guide them. It is well ascer-
tained that a number of the party, the Irish Ame-
ricans, are altogether ignorant of the district.
On Thursday morning an attempt was made to
upset the mail train to Tralee, by placing stones on
the rails about five miles outside Killarney. For-
pushed the
stonestunat off.

In the Dublin Gazette, published last night, a pro-
clamation appears placing the whole county of Kerry
under the provisions of the Peace Preservation Act.
It also contains a proclamation, signed yesterday,
offering a reward of £5OO to any person or persons
who shall, within six months of this date, give such
information as will lead to the arrest of the person
or persons who attacked and wounded Constable
Duggan on the night of the 12th inst. at Drom, near
Killorglin. A second proclamation offers a reward
of £250 to any person or persons who shall give such
information as shall lead to the arrest of J. J.
O'Connor, who acted as commander of the in-
surgents at Killarnea, Killorglin, and Cahirciveen.
At Limerick, yesterday evening, Sub-Inspector
Chauner and Constable O'Brien succeeded, after a
long and difficult search, in arresting a person named
Murphy, known to be the Fenian Head Centre for
Limerick. At the same time they arrested, in com-
pany' e
with Murphy, two .A.mericAn colonels. lh

three were concealed in a lodging-house. A warrant
for the apprehension of Murphy was issued nearly a
year since, but he managed to escape detection until
now. The presence of many strangers believed to
be Americans just at this juncture in Limerick has
caused considerable excitement. The authorities,
hriwever, arc prepared.
A telegram from Killarney, dated this evening
(Saturday), states that all is quiet there :—" The
It flex went to the Gap of Dunloe last night at mid-
night and have not yet returned. The meeting of
magistrates intended to be held to-day was deemed
unnecessary. The fugitive Fenians were seen last
night in the neighbourhood, unable to escape ac-
cross the river. Seventeen arrests are alleged to have
been made this morning in Cahircivecn. There is
an unconfirmed rumour of disturbances in Nenagh."
The movement must be considered as having
quite collapsed.
On the arrival of the steamship Alexandria from
Holyhead, and the St Columbia, from Liverpool, at
the North Wall this morning, Inspector Devin and
Corr and a party of police arrested 16 men, appa-
rently belonging to the labouring class who were on
board.
