Volunteer Artillery Competition at Shoe
buryness.

SHOEMITRYNESS, Friday.

' Between the " lights out" bugle of last night and
the "reveille" bugle of this morning an incessant
1 storm raged. The storm was not altogether unex-
pected, and those who were wise slackened their
tent ropes before " turning in," but there were
many who did not, and they had au involuntary
parade at the smallest of the small hours, in the
lightest of undress uniforms, to hammer in tent
pegs, which had been drawn out by the tightened
ropes and canvas. Before daybreak men had to be
out digging entrenchments round their canvas
houses, and otherwise guarding against the tents
being flooded. The storm ceased about 7, when
the volunteers were preparing to go on the bat-
tery.re not altoge-
to compete, and the welcome sunshine again
came out, making promises, which we

the adjutant, and the competitors are marched
out in regular military order to the batteries, where
the detachments stand at ease until called upon to
,‘ take post" at the gun. 'J'l.e only volunteers left
in camp are the guard, who are mounted as sentinels
at the different reads, and all do duty by turns,
night and day. No volunteer can leave camp or
,sleep away without leave first being obtained, so
that, in addition to the smart drill which officers
and men have under the Royal Artillery, the most
ewen.:nal principles to be inculcated in any body of
armied men, deference to authority and rank, both
on wad off parade, and strict obedience to orders, 0
are 1 cart of the teachings which the citizen soldiers
receive. No man passes an officer without saluting
him. ; no detachment marches by an officer without
re,;eiving from its officer or non-commissioned olli-
ctr the customary "eyes right" or " eyes left."
The officers have their own mess, and no one under
Ithe rank of an officer, whatever may be his position
in social life, is introduced there, an'l the same dis-
tinction is preserved in camp, no private or non-
commissioned officer sleeping in au officer's tent.
These arrangements work admirably well, and offi-
cers and men find it advantageous and pleasant to
