 ■*• have had a pretty hot time 

 foro the opening, while the major 

 in eamp, a alight mishap occurrei 

 ignited from a lire at- which Bon) 

 An order was accordingly issued thai henceforward no small camp 

 ores were to be med bevoud the boundaries of the tents, but Only 

 the regulation cooking stoves. The Scotchmen were very w rot bin 

 consequence, and have been swearing in choice Gaelic because. 

 they cannot toast their own inexpensive baoou nor have the 

 national hot toddy at night. 



The alterations in the rules Tor the guidance of markers, 

 register keepers and range aul butt officers have been extensive, 

 and they apparently make cheating of auy kind impossible and 

 render the conditions of shooting as equal as possible for all com- 

 petitors. 



There aro few Amorican shooters here, Frank Hyde being about 

 the only one. Particular attention has been paid the Canadian 

 riflemen, who have come on in very good form. Tho Duke of 

 Cambridgo and Hir John Alacdonaldpaid visits to the Canadian camp 

 and were received with full honors. The team is considered the 

 best ever sent from the Dominion. They had several prize winners 

 in the Alexandra malch. and had two nieniu the sixty, who are to 

 make the i'mal competition for the Queen's prize— Sorgeaul Mit- 

 chell with ninety and Sergeant Walker with eighty-niuo. This is 

 the first timo for four years that the Canadians have won a place 

 on tho sixty. Twenty-eight men were selected, out or whom eight 

 wore ehoseu to eompeto with the Canadian eight for the Kalapoie 

 prize. The Canadians felt a little annoyed al their being twenty- 

 eight men nominated instead of twenty, according to the rule, but 

 their captain was asked to allow it, and ho consented. 



The Queen's prize shooting in the first stage closed on the 14th, 

 and notwithstanding the thermometers marked 1117 (leg. in the sun 

 at the firing points and sent a number of the shooters to the hos- 

 pital, the firing was line. The highest score.- made by two of the 

 contestants were' 98 out of the possible 105. When the shooting 

 at the second stage opened, for somo time it seemed highly 

 probable that one of the Canadian team, Sergeant Walker, 

 would carry off tho gold medal and £250 presented by 

 Her Majestv. He was among six others who had an aggre- 

 gate of fifty-Six over the two first ranges, WOO and '.100 yards, 

 that being the highest on the register. He rather fell oil 

 at 1,000 yards. Though his chances of snecoss were brilliant 

 at the Bret two ..r three shots he finished with seventy-live, 

 in the pnssiplo 105, which falls into the tenth place, being 

 eleven less than the winner, who made three points more than 

 was ever known in the history of the competition and twelve 

 more than was made last year. The namo of the winner is 

 Private Beck. Ho belongs to the third regiment of Devon Volun- 

 teers. His score was eighty-six, with a Martini ride at SOO, 900 and 

 1,000 yards. 



On the afternoon of tho l'Jth, tho Kolaporo Cup was ipoled 



for by the Canadian and Mother Country teams. They could 

 hardly have had better weather. Until (bat day tho heal had 

 been oppressive, making shooting difficult. During ihe ui^bl, 

 however, there was a slight fall of rain, followed by more at an 

 early hour in the morning. This had the effect of lowering Ihe 

 temperature considerably and making tho camp deheiously' cool. 

 There was 



which made steady, shooting rather trying. Otherwise the condi- 

 tions were verv favorable. The competition began shortly before 

 three o'clock, at 200 yards, at which distance tho British succeeded 

 in making 2;>fi and Canadians 227, giving an advantage of eight lo 

 the British. At 51 II yards, the British made 205, and the Canadians 

 200, leaving tho British with thirteen to the good. On beginning 

 the (100 yards the English team thought tho match was in their 

 own hands, for this was their favorite distance. Tho general 

 opinion, too, seemed to favor this aspect of things. The Cana- 

 dians felt justified in their confidence. When the firsl four had 

 finished, the Canadian shad made up the thirteen they wore be- 

 hind, and put themsolvs sixteen ahead of their autagouists. The 

 hootiug of the next fouo members Of tho team showed some wild 

 firing, but resulted in tre Canadians finishing with twenty of a 

 lead. The result was rechved with much applause. The Knglii-h, 

 through: Major Waller, of the English team, congratulated Col. 

 Gibson, of the Canadians, on the success of his team. 



The Kolapore Cup is a challenge cup, valued at JL'l 10 sterling,

Crowing out of lie fact that the Canadians had small bore rules 

 wilh them came a challenge lor a match of six Canadians against 

 six picked men from tho three Elcho Shield teams, and it took place 

 the last dav of the meeting. 'The British were represented bv Mr. 

 Martin Smith, Wimbledon; Lieutenant Baker. London ' Rifle 

 Brigade ; Mr. Iluinplirev, Cambridge Cniver.-itv ; Mr. Murphv. 

 Dublin ; Lieutenant McKcrral, London and Scottish, and Sergeant 

 Gilder, of Harrow. The Canadian team was composed of Beraftunt 

 Mitchell. Corporal Mitchell, Sergeant J. .Mitchell, Private 

 W. Mitchell (all four of whom are brothers), Sergeant Pain and 

 Private Mason. The weather was all that could be Wished for 

 j range shooting, tho light being dull and gray ami the wind 

 steady. The ranges were SOU. 900 and 1,000 yards. At rOO yards 

 British made a total score of 124 points out oi a possible 150. 

 Tho Canadian total at 800 vards was 40(1— eighteen behind the 

 ie team. At OUII yards the Canadians shot very wildly, while 

 the English increased Iheir lead, finishing this range with an addi- 



.u of 68 to their lead. The scores were : Home team, 115 ; Oan- 



ians, 352. At 1,000 yards the Canadians were a little steadier, 

 but here again they dropped ;I0 behind their adversaries, ending 

 -ith a difference of 117 points.

The Canadians wore much surprised, and their captain was 

 jreatly annoyed at the bad beating. Earl Browulow. Captain of 

 the English team, in announcing the numbers, congratulated the 

 Canadians on having fought an uphill fight pluekily, and hoped 

 (jhey needed no assurance that tho United Kingdom marksmen 

 would always ho glad to see them competing on the ground. 

 Colonel Gibson, captain of the Caudian learn, replied that he was 

 not surprised at their being beaten, but much disappointed at 



a small-bore mulch with the crack shots of the mother country. 

 Small-bore shooting was practiced by very few in tho Dominion. 

 Still, as it was known that some of their best small-bore men were 

 coming over, aud as Sir Henrv lialford suggested a friendly long 

 range match, ho thought thai whatever might be tho resell it 

 could not but be very pleasant to fight side by side with the home 

 country team. Although beaten, and beaten badly, he must say 

 that the victory represented fairly enough what the mother eonutry 

 could do when pilled against Canadian long range shots, and 

 hoped that another lime the latter would give a better account of 

 themselves. Ihe meeting was brought to a close by Ihe presenta- 

 tion of prizes bv the Princess of Wales, who was accompanied by 

 Cm Prince of Wales and the young princesses. An immonse 

 throng of spectators was present. Altogether the Canadians have 

 carried off X250 in money prizes, two badges of the Ql 

 s, age, Sixto-two of the St. George's, three grand aggregate badges 

 and the Kolapoie Cup.
