THE CANADIAN RIFLE MEETING. 



Ottawa, Aug. 31.— At 35 minutes pasts o'clock this morning 

 asbor from the signal cantion on Ridean ranges, which mTks 

 the beginning of each day's shooting, was fired, and the annual 

 matches of the Dominion R fle Association b°gan. A few minutes 

 afterward l■\fi^■s were cracking merrily all along the line^, and 

 little puffs of smoke floated awav before the east wind that was 

 blowing m gusts that were rather puzzling to the marltsmen. Tr e 

 sky was overcast, but the light, however, tor the firt-t hour or two 

 was good, being dull but steady. A sliglit shower fell just before 

 noon, but did not interfere materially with ihe shooting. 



The result of th good weather coo.'^itions was that iu the open- 

 ing match, the Ba- kers' Nursery, the leading young shots showed 

 up well and Pvt. Lang, of the 3l8t, mad" a possible. Ttie lower 

 scores were not so good, as ten 16a got m against the same number 

 of 18i counted ou t last year. In the Ma' Dougal Chwllenge Cup 

 match Tom Mitchtl, of the 10th, made 47, and was followed by five 

 46s. Last > ear 45 won and 36s were counted out, while twenty- wo 

 40s were counted out of the list tbi-^ year. This shows the style of 

 the shooting. Lieut. Elliot, of the 12th was the victor in the Man- 

 ufacturers' with a possible, and the Queen's Own and Montreal 

 contingents mor^- than held up their end in the prize list. A scoi e 

 of 34 by Siaff-Sergt. Crowe, 1st B.F.A., won this last year, and 29s 

 weiv counted out of the race. 



The lavout of the camp i?: slightly different from that of last 

 year. The row, of eight oblong marquees facing Theodore street, 

 and pitched to the north of it. comprise the quarters of Col. 

 Bacon, Secretary; Col. John Macpherson, Treasurer; the statisti- 

 cal branch. Armorer Sergt. Smallwood, the telephone, tele- 

 graph and press, and the general competitors. Back of this row 

 is the stores marquee, with flag flying opposite, and flanked by 

 the president's tent. Over to tbe left is the general diuing mar- 

 quee, the execu'ive and the officers dining daily in the council 

 tent. Caterer James Dunlop and his large staff occupy quarters 

 in the rear of the big marquee, and the kitchen is com gufus. 

 There are besides over one hundred bell tents for sleeping pur- 

 poses for the competitors. 



The president of the Council is Lieut.-Col. Hon. J. A. Quimet, 

 M. P., P. C, and the chairman of the executive committee is 

 Lieut.-C'M. White, Ottawa. The executive is comprised of the fol- 

 lowing ofHcers: Col. Panet, D^pnty Minister of Militia; Lifu'.- 

 CoL Oiter, D. A. G., Toronto; Lieut.-OcL Hood and Major Blaik- 

 h.ek. Fifth Royal Sco'S Fusiliers; Lieut -Col. Gibson and Maj'U- 

 M son. Thirteenth Batt.. Hamilt-on; Capt. Sims, Third Victoria
