Notts. Rifle Association.

The 29th annual prize meeting of the above association took place at Nottingham on Wednesday. The weather was all that could be desired, a slight wind blowing from the right rear, and the light being good throughout the day. The result was that some excellent registers were made, the shooting all round being equal to any that has previously been made on the range. Private J. Leavesley becomes the winner of the bronze medal, and is entitled to compete for the Prince of Wales's Prize at Wimbledon in July next. The conditions are seven shots each at 200, 500, and 600 yards. The following are the prize winners:–

Nottingham Evening Post, August 10, 1889.

Preparations have already been begun for the volunteer camp on Bisley Common next year. The South-Western Railway Company are vigorously proceeding with the enlargement of Brookwood station, and the construction of a tram line from thence to headquarters, while the officials of the National Rifle Association are marking out the range, and settling the sites for the butts. The drawings for the permanent buildings are in a forward state, and I believe that when the volunteers and their friends assemble at the New Wimbledon next July, they will be equally astonished and delighted to find what a pleasant, convenient, and well-equipped home has been provided for the great representative volunteer body.
