On Saturday afternoon last there was a large gathering present at the rille range, at the invitation of Capt. Walker, the officer in command. Quite a novelty for Cambridge took place — a competition for ladies. Each lady competitor was in charge of a volunteer, who instructed her liow to aim, etc,, and loaded for her each time. Considering that most of the ladies had never handled a rille before their scores were most creditable. Out of a possible 25 Miss C. Brunskill made 24, winning Ist prize, a gold brooch. Miss Bruce and Miss St. Aubin tied for 2nd with 23 each, and had to fire off three rounds more, Miss Bruee proving victorious and winning the second prize, a silver and crystal jam dish. Miss D. Gillillan came 3rd with a score of 22, her prize being a cake. Afternoon tea was provided by Mesdames Scott, Butler. and R. J. Hob arts. Amongst the kid tea competing were Mrs Bell, Mrs Scott, Misses Riehardson, GilfiUan, Hili, Willis, Hally, Chitty, A. Hally, Brooks, K. Willis, Brnnskill, St. Aubin, Bruee, D. Brunskill, Piggot, Ferguson. Jeffries. Amongst the spectators were Mrs J. R. S. Richarson, Mrs J. R. Roberts, Mrs (Dr.) Butler, Mrs Earle, Mrs F. Gane, Miss Cave, Miss Gwyunetb, Miss Brooks, Miss Keening, and several others whom I did not know. Those who took part in the firing were delighted with it, and talk of going to Hamilton next week to take, part in a similar function. A moot enjoyable afternoon was spent bv all present. ELSIE.
