wind and weather; but while some OF 1t has
been commonplace, there have also been
remarkable records. Our special dispatches
have noted that in spite OF the overpower-
ing heat Of some days last week there were
surprising scorrs, including those OF the
st. Georges match, where more than sixty
competitors made the maximum possible at
500 yards STILL 1t Is only natural that OF
late years, wherever the weather condi-
tions have been favorable, there should be
record breaking. Apart from increased In
dividual skill through practice, the i'm
provcments in rife and ammunition ought
to go for much. Year before last the Lee
Metford was used for the first time and
tho gain over preceding years was aston
ishing, so that "bulseyes have become
tediously monotonous." as one despatch
strikingly put it.
CHANGING Mt few OF the individual
matches, 1t is interesting to noto among
the prize winners In the Waldegravo the
name OF Mr. r. HYDE, who "came over
from America In the seventies" as Lon
don newspaper notes. In the Humphry
Cup match Oxford beat Cambridge by n
score OF 1853 to 71G. In the match Of regu-
lar and volunteer officers tho former won
by 1928 against l,4so. The National
Challenge Trophy is a leading team match,
and Scotland won 1t this year with 1886
points, closely followed by England, 1875;
Wales, ,sG2; Ireland. ,s47 Another great
team match always of special interest is
that for the Elcho Shield England won it
again this year and now has long lead in
the total OF victories since the establish
ment OF the match in 1862.
Our good wishes always go with tho
Canadian team, rs a representative OF this
side OF the Atlantic, and some years they
make a very fine showing, occasionally
winning tho Kolaporo Cup, team match
for which they always try. The mother
country, however, won 1t again this year,
as she usually does: but our neighbors
have carried off n good share Of the prizes
OF the meeting as q whole.

The Bisley Rife Meeting.

The annual meeting Of the British National
Rifle Association. which has been going on
for fortnight, possesses an interest for
American marksmen although there Is 80
little here now with which to compare It,
In the palmy days Of Creedmoor, Wimble-
don rifiemen made some memorable visits
to measure prowess with our experts. while
on one or two occasions American rihemen
tried their fortunes in England. Perhaps
some day there may be a renewal OF those
friendly rivalries, the Bisley marksmen
coming to Sea Glrt; but the difficulty is
that there would be little save fame to
attract them across the ocean, since our
prizes make but beggarly array compared
with the numerous varied and rich re-
wards annually offered on Bisley Common
One OF the noteworthy points in this
years meeting at Bisley was the increase
of entries in every leading match. The
numbers are worth quoting to show the
great interest taken by the British volun-
tecrs in this annual contest. For the
Queens prize there were 1888 entries, an
increase Of 9s; for the st. Georges, !, 594,
ali increase of 90; for the Alexandra and
the Martins Cup, 24S and ,OS3, respcc.
lively, an lncEcdSt tl l1I LOT the
Graphic, l,l2i, and for the Daily Graphic,
1915, increases of 1870 and IA, respac-
lively; for the Daily Telegraph, l,10s,
an increase of ll9; for the All-Comers
Aggregate, the Volunteer Aggregate and
the Grand Aggregate $50, oil, and 1856
respectively, increases Of 10, 1853 and
1o1; for the Barlow, up to the time
oi closing, there were 6S7 entries. There
were increases, too, in the two Vim
bledon cup matches, the Duke OF Cam
bridges, the War Secretnrys, the Waldo
grave. tho Bass, the Albert and the Hal
ford Memorial.
But this list comprises only minor part
OF tho matches, and dozens more should bt
added to show the variety of the attrac
tions. There were also plenty of revolver
az well as rifle matches. Many OF tn,
matches carry numerous individual prizes
while here and there among them is founc
very handsome reward. Tho Queens
prize, one Of the great rewards of the meet
ing, yields the winner OF the third stag,
$3.50 in money and gold medal.
