THE "SPECTATOR" PRIZES AT BISLEY.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] SIR,—Your readers might be interested to know the result of the competition for the National Reserve, which, owing to your generosity, the National Rifle Association was able to include in the programme of the late Sisley meeting. The number of entries, viz., 73, falls short of our expectations, but considering that at present there is no complete organization for training the members of the National Reserve in rifle shooting and giving facilities for practice, I think the support given to the competition proves that it was appreciated, and I am sure next year, if greater attention is paid to the musketry training of the general body of the National Reserve, the result will be a large increase in the entries. My Council will in due course consider the conditions of the match, and will submit for your approval any changes they may think advisable. The only alteration which I am at present able to suggest is the reduc- tion of the entrance fee from 5s. to 2s. O. I enclose a list of the prize winners.—I am, Sir, &c., C. R. CROSSE, Lieut.-Colonel, Secretary N.B.A.

Bisley Camp, Brookwood, Surrey.
