THE VOLUNTEERS.
A match was fired between the Artillery and the Naval Brigade at the Anderson’s Bay range this morning. The conditions were—Ranges, 200, 50U, and 600 yards; five shots at each, and ten men aside. Only seven men of the Artillery team put in an appearance, and the Brigade fired with the same number. A heavy gale blew from the right, which accounts for the poor shooting made. The following are the scores : ARTILLERY.
