H, Scourfield, Esq., M.P., Lord Lieutenant of the Town and County of Haverfordwest. The wettliei was most unfavourable, which delayed the commence- ment of the shooting for about an hour and a half after the appointed time. There was a thick drizzling rain, with little or no intermission throughout the day, accom- panied at times with a thick ffibl that made the target very indistinct at the long ranges. The programme this year was a most attractive one for the Volunteers, and exhibited a most liberal generosity on the part of those who support the Volunteer movement in this locality. It is worthy of mention, as evincing the interest felt by the public in the Haverfordwest Corps, that a large proportion of the subscriptions was given voluntarily, and that very few who were asked refused to contribute. It is desirable that the Volunteers themselves should know to whom they are indebted for tho 'sinews of war' for their prize meeting, and we therefore publish the follow- ing list of subscribers :— Colonel Peel 20 0 0 Lieut.

The ground was a perfect bog, and it was necessary to provide a plank for the competitors to kneel upon at each range. The following is the score:- HAVERFORDWEST.

Morris and Col-Serg, W. E. Jones tied for the first prize. On shooting off the tie (which waa done amid considerable excitement), Private Morris made a centre and Col-Serg. Jones an outer: the former was therefore the winner of the £ 60, Serg. Jones being entitled to the second prize of £ 20 but we are informed, that. previous to deciding the tie, they agreed to divide the £ 8;), each receiving the handsome sum of £40. Both competitors were loudly cheered by the spectators. Sergeant Henderson, of Lydney, Corporal Phillips, and Lance-Corporal Thompson, of the Haverfordwest corps, tied for the third prize of £10. with a score of 28 marks. The shooting off of the ties forthispriz-j excited considerable interest; each making a centre on their first shot. On the second round, Sergeant Henderson made all outer Corporal Phillips a miss, and Lance-Corporal Thompson a bull's eye. Mr Thompson therefore became the winner of the £10, Mr Henderson of the fourth prize of £ 5, and Mr Phillips of the fifth prine of £3. The sixth prize of IX2 was won by Corporal H. Morris, of the Pembroke Corps. Notwithstanding the unpropltious weather, there was a goodly number of spectators on the ground. The Lord Lieutena.nt, who is one of the vice presidents of the National Rifle Association, and who has from the first liberally supported the corps in this town, visited the ground in the afternoon during the most interesting period of the contest. He remained till the close of the day s shooting, and expressed himself as highly gratified at the success of the Haverfordwest competitors. The winners of the first and second prizes, and the strangers who were winners (Sergeant Henderson, the winner of the fourth, and Corporal Morris, winner of the sixth prize) were driven ip Colonel Peel's carriage through the principal streets of the town, preceded by the Haverfordwest Rifle band, and were everywhere received with loud cheering. Through the courtesy of the authorities at Pembroke Dock, three military tents were obtained for the purposes of the meeting, and afforded ample shelter to the Volun- teers and others during the day. These tents were pitched under the,direction of Sergeant-Instructor Brown, of the Royal Pembrokeshire Artillery Militia, who very kindly gave his services on the occasion at considerable inconvenience to himself. TUESDAY. The shooting was resumed this morning at 11 o'clock. The day was very fine, and but for a brisk wind would have been, all that could be desired. The first contest on the programme was COLONEL PEEL'S PRIZE OF dElO, to which was added, LIEUT. HARVEY'S PRIZE OF JE5. These prizes were confined to the 30 n-en 0 r- tbe Haverfordwest Corps who had attended the greatest number of parades between the 1st of October, 1862, and the 1st of August, 1863. Thp ranges were 200 and 300 yards, and the prizes were divided as follows — £ 5 to the first; £ 4 to the seoend; £ 3 to the 3rd X2 to the 4th and j61 to the fifth. The nrà. prize was won hv Corporal Thomas Lloyd, who accred 26 marks; Private George Morris and Colour-Sergeant Jones (who occupied the posts of honour yesterday) tied for the 2nd prize. The ties were determined at the longer range, when both competitors made an outer. A second shot was fired, which resulted in Mr Jones's favour, he making an-outer, and Mr Morris a rioochet centre. Private A. Lawis won the fourth prize, and Corporal T. E. Mathias the fi th. The following are the prin- cipalscores:- I, 200 300 .Total. Corporal T. Lloyd 15 11 26 Private G.Morris. 1$n 25 Col-Ser.

NATIONAL, INFANT, AND NEW HEDGES SCHOOLS.— On Tuesday week according to annual custom the children of these Schools met for their tea feast. There was, however, one essential addition to the amusements of the day-their trip to Pembroke by rail, thanks to the liberality of Messrs. Davies and Roberts, who gave them their ride free. At about half-past eleven the teachers and children (between five and six hundred) assembled at tLe National School, formed and proceeded to the railway station: they were soon comfortably seated in the conveyances prepared for them, and in duo time reached Pembroke Station, where they re-formed and marched in procession through the main street of Pembroke to the Castle, admission being obtained for them by Messrs. Davies and Roberts. After sufficient time had been allowed them to go over the rains, and enjoy themselves on the Green, and sing two or three pieces, iliey returned to the station, got re seated, and by four o clock had got out highly pteased with the ride; they were then marched to the Rectory fièld, Imd were comfortably placed for tea. The usual hard labour (to teachers and visitors) of keeping the children supplied being over, prizes were distributed to the most deservia^, many being very handsome books, with kind words Of encouragement. The National Anthem was sung, Rule Britannia, &c., cheers were given for The Queen, The Ladies, and for Messrs. Davies and Roberts. The chil- dren then spread over the field, and enjoyed themselves with various rustic sports, and about IS p.m. separated, highly pleased with the day. We can scarcely too much thank Messrs. Davies and Roberta for the kindly interost they have taken in the children in thus exercising their liberality, and we only hope that they will reap a fitting reward in finding the present to be a paying line.
