THE "SPECTATOR'S" PRIZE AT BISLEY FOR NATIONAL RESERVISTS.

[To THE EDITOR Or THE ",SPECTATOR,"] inclose you a statement of the conditions under which the Spectator prizes, intended to encourage members of the National Reserve to keep up their shooting, will be competed for at Sisley this year. My Council notes with very great pleasure that you hope to give similar prizes with the same object for competition at Bisley in future years. You will like to know that in addition to your prizes a special series of prizes for National Reservists has been given by Mr. B. Hansford in connexion with the "Stock Exchange" com- petition. Also, besides these special prizes National Re- servists are eligible to compete in all the principal competitions at Bisley which are open to " all comers," and such National Reservists as come within our definition of a "Retired Territorial " can also compete in most of our other principal competitions.—I am, Sir, &es C. R. CROBBE, Lieut.-Colonel, Secretary N.R.A.
