not eligible to win any of the prizes
which are being competed for under
the rules governing target practice.
Quite number of visitors were pres
ent yesterday and if the weather is
| favorable it is expected that the num-
Der will largely increase from now
until the close, as the real business of
the occasion was commenced today.
The perfect and rapid movements of
the competitC RS particularly in the
skirmish firing is quite interesting
and highly exciting. The movements
resdirected entirely by bugle calls,
and the results are signalled from the
targets by flags of different colors and
by different motions.

To spectators who are not acquainted |
with those engaged in the firing these
will probably be the most interesting
days of the competition, although the
pistol competition on Monday and
Tuesday will no doubt prove quite in
tereStlng also.
