The competition to-day was for the members of the Artillery Corps with the Gatling Gun, the prize being a cup presented by the brokers of Shanghai. The conditions were seven shots at the 200 and 400 yards ranges. Eight competitors fired in the morning, commencing at half-past six o'clock, when there was an unpleasant, putly wind blowing three-quarters up the range; but the light was good. Sergeant Boyd made the highest score with a total of 49, Gunner Moosa being second with 48. At $ o'clock in the afternoon two other competitors fired, and one of these, Gunner Kirby, exceeded Sergeant Boyd's score by six points, with a total of 53. The wind was not so strong or as puffy as it was in the morning, but the sun shone in the face of the competitors and made sighting deceptive.
Appended is the full score 2.—Gatiine Gus. Cup presented by the Brokers of Shangh Ranges—200 and 400 yards. Entrance Fee, $1; Second Prize, the Entrance Fees, Gunner Kirby Sergt. Boyd
