THE NATTONAL ABTLLLERP

ASSOCIATION.

- .
The meeting of the National Artillery Association is
still left to the volunteers, and visitors are few and far
between. The firing on Wednesday is described as being;
especially good, one corps, the Brighton, making 40 in
one score. Last year a score of 30 was sure of a prize.
Great progress, therefore, must have been made in the
interval. This great score was made in 5 min. 15 sec.,
and was thus as remarkable for rapidity of firing as for
accuracy of aim. Besides this, three corps—namely, the
Ist Sussex, the Ist A Cinque Ports, and the Ist Kent—
tied at 29, taking respectively 4 min. 52 sec., 6 min.

18 sec., and 7 min. 1 sec. for the five rounds. An exceed-
ingly smart man-of-war crew is expected to beat
to quarters and fire three rounds in 4 min. 30 sec.,
but then they fire blank, and have wonderful
mneliinery for moving the guns. The volunteers working
in battery have only handspikes and their own strong arms
to run the long thirty-twos in and out with, and yet they
can take the wonderful aim we have noted above,
and still fire with extraordinary rapidity. The
firing is infinitely more interesting to the spectators
than the rifle shooting at Wimbledon, because
the ball can be distinctly seen striking the
water, sometimes making two or three skips, some-
times hitting the target and ricochetting, and sometimes
making a fair entry in its centre, which is at once
announced by a signal and hailed with a general and
generous cheer. The sport is most exciting to the
artillerists themselves, and we are sure it would be equally
so to the public if they could only come and see it.
Amongst the excellent scores made on Wednesday were
33 by the 3rd Essex, commanded by Captain panes.
This occupied eight minutes, and was three over the
highest score made by the same corps last year ;
33 was also made by the 12th Kent, commanded by
Captain Beveredge. This Score occupied 7 min. 20 sec.,
and was also a considerable advance on last year's prac-
tice. Colonel Curtis, R.A., who was present during the
firing, commended in the warmest terms both the accuracy
and rapidity of the volunteer artillerymen.
