TILE NATIONAL RIFLE MATCH.

The contest for the Queen's Prize was resumed
yesterday morning by shooting off the ties at 18

which of the competitors who had not scored more
than 19 were entitled to the preliminary prize of
the Whitworth rifle, and to claim a place among
the first 20 who on Wednesday will shoot for the
Queen's Plate. The following is the total score
made by each gentleman up to yesterday, giving
the number of points at each range :

For the next and last stage of the Queen's Prize
on Wednesday each of the 40 competitors will shoot
finally with Whitworth rifles at 800, 900, and 1,000
yards' range. On the ground Sergeant Dugan ap-
pears to be the favourite, though many support Mr.
Moir at long distances.
The competition for the Prince of Wales's Prize
was brought to a close yesterday, and resulted in
Captain Robertson, of the 10th Perthshire, winning
by one point. At all the ranges for this cup the
shooting was excellent. Mr. Ross, the champion
shot, got a place in this list. His score was high
(12 and 5) at the first two short ranges, but he lost
all chance yesterday by only marking 1 at the final
contest, in which not only the winner, but many
other gentlemen scored six. The number of points
made by each was as follows :
