; ♦ — The Manchester Rifles paraded on Thursday for inspection by Colonel Newall, Lieutenants Kirton and Bray, aud thirty-three noncommissioned officers and men were present. The corps, was marched to the Corporation paddock where Colonel Newall exercised the men in company and skirmishing dri^l. At tho conclusion of the parade the Colonel announced that at the next parade he would put them through guard mounting drill, advanced guards and &c, The men were then marched back to the barracks where they were measured for the new regulation uniform. Those who were absent on this occasion, will be measured at the capitation parade on Thursday next, an election of officers will take place on the same evening. As the corps is now up to its full strength no more recruits will be accepted, but any smart young men desirous of joining are requested to send in their names to the officer commanding the corps so that, if elected, they may be appointed to any vacaucies which may occur. Any member who fails to earn capitation will have to make good the deficiency at the end of the year. He will only be dealt with strictly according to regulations, through the RM. Court. This rule has been willingly accepted by the men, without a dissentient voice and will save a lot of trouble. If a man does not attend Lis parades he will practically be fining himself. Of course the rule as to absence on leave, granted by the commanding officer, or sickness, remains unaltered. • A meeting of the shooting committee was held at which all the , numbers were present. Matches were arranged to be fired for prizes in Classes, A. B. and C. The prize for the first will be a commanding officer's prize, and for the second and third Mr, Scotts' medals.
