The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-07-21
Id continued during the 5oO-yard con.

test.
The total score at 500 yards was British.
376; Americans, 500.
The total scores at the 600-yards range
were: Americans, $50; British, 354; max
ing grand total OF LOIS for the Americans
and 1910 for the British riflemen. The
former are thus eight points ahead on the
days shooting at three ranges. McVittie
started badly at coo yards. He made
"magpies" in his first two shots. The
rain ceased falling soon after the firing at
this range began. Dolan at his fifth shot
at GOO yards made bulps-eye on the wrong
target. 1t was thus like Dods, who hit the
wrong target at 500 yards. Credited with
miss. Van Heusen's last shot at 600 yards
was miss.
The greatest cordially prevails all
around. The large crowd cheered the
Americans on their quitting the ground at
the close OF the shooting. The Americans
are eated at their present success. They
were somewhat doubtful OF securing as
many points as they did.

on Wednesday, when it is known that

The worst stages OF disease have repeatedly
been carried to hospitals through crowded
streets. The people OF Shirbin have pro-
tested against improper observance Of
funeral regulations, and troops have been
summoned to prevent n threatened revolt
against the official authorities. II has been
decided to form a Gordon around AleXan-
dria to prevent an influx OF refugees from
infected districts.
The Standards correspondent at Cairo
says that unless the English authorities
promptly take the direction OF affairs the
checking Of the spread OF the cholera will
be hopeless. Even the simplest sanitary
arrangements are neglected. The funeral
system is most obnoxious. Corps2s en-
cased in very slight collins are carried
through the crowded streets on mems
shoulders. The clothes of persons dying
in the hospital are often stripped oil and
taken for wearing purposes by relatives.
While man stricken with cholera was on
his way yesterday in cart to the hospital
the driver stopped opposite cafe and
gave the invalid drink from water-b0t-
tie used by the customers of the place. a
few minutes afterwards the sick man died
opposite the largest cafe in Cairo. The only
precautlon taken in this case was TO sprin-
kle little chloride OF line onIhe corpse.
The cart then pursued its way"
