THE WIMBLEDON MEETING.

The Camp at Wimbledon was yesterday favoured
with a continuance of the same glorious weather,
and the attendance was proportionately numerous.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh
honoured the Camp with a visit, and, attended by
the Hon.,Eliot Yorke, remained for some hours the
guest of Lord Elcho and Lord Spencer.
The most interesting of all the competitions was
that for the Irish International Trophy, a prize of
novel institution, intended to take rank with the
Elcho Challenge Shield and Enfield International
Trophy, and founded by representatives of the
sister country, anxious that the branch of the
United Kingdom with which they are connected
shall not appear backward in its encouragement of
rifle shooting. Of all the permanent rewards yet
offered to the Volunteers, the Irish Trophy is per-
haps the most tasteful in design and artistic in
execution. The cup, of large size, and of many
hundred pounds intrinsic value, represents on the
summit the exhortation of. the Irish Monarch, Brian
Boroihme, to his followers on the eve of their deci-
sive encounter with the Danes, on a Good Friday,
early in the 11th century. The Cross on that occa-
sion achieved a victory as decisive over the Pagan
superstitions of the foe as any celebrated in the
annals of the Crusaders, and naturally it has been
always a favourite point of reference in Irish annals.
The central portion of the trophy displays allegori-
cal figures of Britannia and Hibernia, with the
head of the national wolf-dog introduced in inter-
mediate panels. The base exhibits two represen-
tations in silver of widely different character, one
a well executed medallion of a modern rifle com-
petition ; the other, with still more spirit in the
design, an enthusiastic welcome by the genius of
the Irish soil to an English Royal fleet, at what
precise period of history is not determined. The
conditions of the match prescribed that the trophy
was to be competed for by the best shot from each
of the English, Irish, and Scotch twenties taking
part in the International Enfield match. Unavoid-
able circumstances prevented the Irish twenty from
entering an appearance this year at Edinburgh,
where the International match was decided, so they
were allowed to name a representative at Wimble-
don, who, as shown by the result, worthily upheld
the national character. After a smart competition
at 200, 500, and 600 yards, Lieut. D. Hopkins, of
the 41st Middlesex, carried off the trophy on behalf
of Ireland, the English and Scotch representatives
—Private C. Waterman, Ist Surrey, and Sergeant
A. Plenderleith, of the Ist Peebles, making respec-
tively 50 and 45 points.
The special prizes presented by the Association to
the Belgian riflemen were contested with much
spirit, and it was amusing to contrast the excite-
ment, animation, and outcries of the foreign sharp-
shooters with the phlegm and tacit acquiescence in
results of our own volunteers. The method of
scoring and decision of ties was left entirely to the
Belgians themselves to settle according to their
national procedure, and at gun fire the following
results were intimated to the statistical depart
ment
