THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH AT WIMBLEDON.
One of the matches at the late Wimbledon competition exciting most rpublic interest and attention was the International Enfield Match, between three representative squads of 20, each ■shooting for the honou>* of a branch •of the United Kingdom. Between the English and Scotch teams the -contest was vely close and exciting; the •Irish kept their rivals well in view, but ■were not able to obtain a front place «t any of tbe three distances. The English on the contrary, led at the two first ranges by 15 at the 200 yards, •which they increased to 17 at the 500 yards. The Scotch, however, overtook them at 60© yards, and by brilliant shooting left the English eventually in a minority of 15.
