A cup was given for the highest score on the Cheltenham side, which was won by Lieutenant Lockyer, who, in shooting off the ties with Godfray and Collier, scored a bull's-eye against their centres.

College v. Town.

On June 1st, eleven of the College shot against eleven of the 10th Company, on the Gloucester range. The Town being short of a man, Captain Porcher shot for them. In consequence of some mistake, the large bull's eye, on the 200 yards target, used for class shooting, had not been changed, which accounts for the large scores at that range.

At 200 yards our shooting was fair, although some of the fellows were rather "put, out" at not having the Wimbledon target, the total score showing us one point a-head of the town. But our shooting at 500 yards was not quite up to the mark, the Town being nine points a-head of us. The scores were as follows:

On June 5th, a silver cup, presented by N. Baker, Esq., was shot for. The conditions were 5 shots at 200, 400, 500, and 600 yards, former winners to be handicapped. The weather was fair,

but the shooting nothing very particular. The cup was well won by R. Rodick; Captain Pakenham, who was on the ground, very kindly presented a valuable knife as a prize for the highest score at 600 yards, which was won by J. Kinloch. The following are the 12 highest scores :

The College and the Cotswold's Rifle Competition.

On Saturday last the return match of the best Eleven of these two rifle corps took place at the Over Rifle Range, near Gloucester. It resulted in a well-contested tie, each Eleven making at the two ranges the total score of 245.

The weather was most unfavourable, the wind blowing sharply throughout the afternoon, and consequently the scores were not so good as in the first match.

On Whit-Tuesday, the Corps went over to Cirencester to join the Battalion in drill at Oakley Park. Colonel Noel had command of the Battalion, and the Cadet Corps, after marching past in quick time and in quarter distance columns, fell out and joined the numerous spectators. The band was very efficient, and was considerably praised. After drill the Corps, with the rest of the Battalion, were entertained in a splendid manner by the towns-people of Cirencester, and it will be long before they forget the kindness and hospitality shown them on that occasion.

The last shooting for this half-year was for the handsome cup given by the ex-Captains, open only to the Wimbledon Eleven, which was won by Captain Kinloch, with 26 points.

On May 10th and 11th we had again the pleasure of seeing a team brought down by Mr. Cunningham. It is a long way to come down for a match, and we were glad to see that the Eleven showed their appreciation of the honour done them by allowing their opponents to have plenty of batting in the second innings. Brice tossed in the absence of our Captain, and, as usual, lost the toss, so Messrs. Isaacson and Grindrod appeared at the wickets to the bowling of Brice and Steuart. No one made much of a stand with

the exception of Campbell and Potter, who both played good innings. Cunningham and Hollins gained double figures, the latter hitting freely. Brice's "Yorker's" were effective, as the analysis

will show.

Our batting was good. Bramwell somehow bowled by a "slow," but Baker, Filgate, and Cuppage showed they could both play and hit. The Captain pro tem. a little unfortunate, evidently "preserving" himself for a more useful occasion. In the second innings of Liverpool, Potter played a magnificent innings of 72, and Campbell, Cunningham, Eccles, and Isaacson, did their best towards pulling up the score.

The Eleven had to go in for 83 runs. The bad light and excellent bowling of Macintosh and Cotton, however, disposed of four men for 34 runs before time was called. It was anybody's match as it stood, and even if we had been beaten no one would have felt much grieved after the plucky uphill game of our opponents, and the contented manner in which they resigned themselves to the first two innings. We may sincerely hope that the Liverpool Eleven enjoyed the match as much as our own evidently did. The following is the score.

Was the next on the list. Reid chose innings, Hoare and Butterworth being the first in, Brice and Fox bowling. The first two men made most of the runs, no one else reaching double figures. Both hit freely, the score standing at 51 before they were separated. Fox then secured Butterworth off his own bowling. No one else made a stand, and the side were all out for 114, mainly owing to the good bowling of Fox, who secured eight wickets. For the Eleven, Barrow and Filgate played steadily, and Cuppage showed his fine old form, getting 65 in the most approved style. Five wickets had fallen for 128 runs, when time was called.
