The Spectator Competition for Rifle Clubs was carried oat at

Bisley on Thursday under most encouraging circumstances, thirty-four clubs having entered for the Competition, and some hundred and sixty riflemen actually taking part in the shooting. The first prize of five Service rifles fell to the Henley-on-Thames Club, the second prize of two Service rifles to the Altcar (flub, and the third of one Service rifle to the Scarborough Club. The interest taken in the competi- tion is a proof of what a strong hold the rile club movement has taken on the country. We most heartily congratulate the winning clubs on the good shooting of their teams.
