The Spectator Rifle Clubs Competition, which took place at Bisley
on Thursday, thirty-three clubs competing, resulted in the first prize (five rifles) being gained by the Stock Exchange Rifle Club; the second (two rifles) by the City Rifle Club; and the third (one rifle) by the Trinity College, Cambridge, Rifle Club. We congratulate the winners most heartily on their success, and are delighted to see that the City of London is taking so prominent a part in rifle-shooting, The patriotism of the Stock Exchange, like its love of manly sports, has never been in doubt, and by its encouragement of rifle-shooting it shows that its good citizenship is of a practical character. We may add that the competition was very keen, and that only four points separated the winners of the first prize from those of the second, and five points those of the second from those of the third.
