We note with great pleasure that the Stock Exchange is
about to form a rifle club out of members and clerks who are over twenty-five years of age, or who have served and are still serving in Regular or Auxiliary Forces,—imitating in this respect the Bank of England and several of the joint-stock banks, which have already founded rifle clubs. We sincerely hope that the club will prove a great success, and will obtain a good range of its own, and not trust to the loan of a range. Why, should not the club do a service to all urban shooting by constructing, as is done in Belgium and Germany, a model five-hundred-yard range near or actually in London, made safe by the use of safety-screens? This is perfectly possible, and need not be very costly. A strip of land by the side of a railway embankment would be suitable.
