Betting.—Even on Ellen, and 6 to 4 agst Sheffield.
Several failures occurred through the over-anxiety of the
riders to get away, but at last they were despatched in close
order, Sheffield having a slight lead, Ellen going on second,
Rara Avis third, and Abel last. In this way they rounded
the turn into the straight, when Ellen got up to the girths
of Sheffield and ran with him to the distance, where she was
disposed of, Sheffield winning very easily by two lengths.
Rara Avis finished third, half a dozen lengths in the rear of
the favourite. Abel was last. The winner pulled up, lame.

to 1 agst Russley, 100 to 6 agst Weatherwitch.
An excellent start was effected at the first time of asking.
Weatherwitch, making use of her light impost, immediately
made play at a good pace, Russley, with Syringe, lying
second and third; the others, headed by Heiress, lying in
a cluster at their heels. In this way they ran past the
Stand, Weatherwitch increasing her lead, and on rounding
the upper turn she was upwards of six lengths in advance of
Heiress, who went on second, Russley third, and Syringe
fourth ; but on reaching the mile-post Syringe beaded Russ-
ley, and immediately after Heiress took up the running,
Weatherwitch at the same time dropped back, and waspassed
by Syringe and Russley, who were followed by Doefoot and
Ivanhoff, the lot running in close company to the entrance
into the straight, where Doefoot and Ivanhoff came up on
the whip hand and joined the leaders. In a few strides after,
Heiress was beating, and Ivanhoff took a slight lead, fol-
lowed by Doefoot to the half distance, when she got her
head in front and won by half a length. There were six
lengths between the second and third, and four lengths
divided the third and fourth horses. The others were
pulled up, and Feodorowna did not pass the post.

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

The interest of the Wimbledon display reached
its culminating point yesterday. While the people's
Representatives in Parliament assembled were
slaving drearily through bill and estimate, the
people themselves flocked to the wide, sunny heath
of Wimbledon. What could be more appro-
priate on the Queen's birthday than that marks-
men of her dominions should hold their final
contest for the proud distinction of the Queen's
Prize ? The competition was open in the
widest sense to all corners. No one could allege that
in this instance civil service examiners barred the
way to honour or advantage ; the only qualification
insisted upon was that the candidate should have
shown his patriotism by connecting himself with the
national force. Nay, if anything, the terms of invi-
tation seemed rather too universal, for the well-
drilled Volunteer, who had possibly never handled
a rifle till he joined his regiment, might and, no
doubt, would be called upon to test his skill against
a practised' deer-stalker. It was not the steadiest
shot at a particular range, nor the man who, consi-
dering his regimental opportunities, had used them
to greatest effect ; it was emphatically the " best
man" whom the Council of the National Rifle Asso-
ciation sought to discover and reward. The events
of the preceding days, hoviever interesting in
themselves, were consequently but a pre-
lude to the crowning contest, in which, the
less efficient marksmen being gradually dis-
tanced, the more fortunate competitors assumed
positions of greater prominence. The order of yes-
terday's proceedings, as has been already stated,
was as follows :—Each of the 40 competitors for the
Queen's prize shot finally with Whitworth rifles at
800, 900, and 1,000 yards' range. The Whitworth
rifle was adopted at these long ranges partly be-
cause it is more reliable than the Enfield in all
distances above 600 yards, and partly because,
being a weapon new to most Volunteers, the prac-
tice they were enabled to make with it would be an
additional test of their skill and judgment. One of
the competitors being absent, the remaining 39
were formed into two squads and fired at different
targets. Five of the candidates retired during the
contest, and the interest of the match lay practically
with the following gentlemen, who all made excel-
lent scores :—Mr. jopling (2d South Middlesex),
Mr. Bingham (Bristol), Lord Bury (Civil Service),
Mr. Brooks (12th Middlesex), and Mr. Rowe (Ist
Devon). Mr. Duggan and Mr. Moir, who at
shorter ranges were the favourites in public esti-
mation, fell completely behind ; but it is right
to state that Mr Duggan had never previously fired
at a range exceeding 600 yards. In the last round
the interest was keenly excited to discover whether
the five leaders would retain their foremost places.
Mr. Brooks and Mr. Rowe each lost a point, and
were thereby reductd to the second rank ; but time
after time the.signal flags responded to the shots of
Mr. Jopling, Mr. Bingham, and Lord Bury, and at
the close of the match their scores exhibited a triple
"tie" of 18. The total score made by the 40 can-
dates was as follows :

The appreciation evinced by the spectators of the
skill of the competitors was such that during the
closing rounds their anxiety became almost feverish.
The suspense, apparently interminable, which
stretches on " Derby day" between the rush of
horses and the winning post, affords the only simile
at all comparable to the excitement prevailing.
Ultimately, when General Hay came forward and
declared that, according to the rules of the Associa-
tion, Mr. Jopling, having distanced his present
compeers at the previous ranges, was entitled to the
coveted distinction, popular enthusiasm broke all
bounds, and not satisfied with an outburst of cheer-
ing, for which even Wimbledon-common seemed to
confined an area, his friends, relatives, and admirers
swept down on the successful candidate, and bore
him off in triumph.

The following comparative statement of the
shooting made by the four competitors whose
names head the list puts the superiority of Mr.
Jopling in a very clear light, and exhibits the
grounds on which the award of the Council was
made. At the long ranges, as already stated, the
total score of three of these gentlemen amounted to
18. In the earlier stages the points obtained by
them had been :

200 500 600
Yds. Yds. Yds. Total.
Jopling ll 5 4 20
Bingham 7 5 7 19
Bury (Lord)
Rowe

Adding those 20 points to the 18 obtained yester-
day Mr: Jopling's score mounts up to 38—a number
of which Mr. Bingham's score, the next highest,
falls short by one point.
Mr. Topling, who, in gaining the Queen's Prize,
receives with it the Gold Medal of the association.
thus taking his " double-first," and becoming the
champion shot of England, unlike his predecessor,
Mr. Ross, is one who owes his inspiration and train-
ing entirely to the Volunteer movement. His in-
structor, in common with Lord Bury, who so nearly
obtained the first place, was Sergeant Potter, at-
tached to the Hythe School of Musketry. Mr.
Jopling, it may be interesting to add, holds office in
the Adjutant-General's department, and belongs to
the 10th (War-office) Company of the 2d South
Middlesex. His successes, it would appear, are not
confined to the rifle range ; for the picture which,
as an amateur artist, he contributed to this year's
exhibition was criticised in a favourable spirit.

Looking at the results of the shooting as a whole,
the Metropolitan corps, especially the South Mid-
dlesex lnd Civil Service, must be admitted to have
upheld most creditably the fame of the capital, and to
have done something towards solving the debated
question of " the defence of London." Three corps
had each two members in the 40—viz., the South
Middlesex, Civil Service, and Bristol ; but three of
the best men at yesterday's long ranges all belonged
to metropolitan regiments. Among those who figure
in the selected list we find that 10, or one-fourth of
the entire class, belong to Middlesex corps ; in ad-
dition to whom a representative is contributed by
the lot Surrey, who cannot, perhaps, be strictly re-
