THE VOLUNTEER CHRONICLE.

THE GRAMMAR SCHOOL CADET.

On Saturday thirty-four members of the Auckland Grammar School Cadet Com panies assembled at the rifle range for practice. The shooting made by the boys was very satisfactory, considering that many had never fired, before. All shot at the 100 and 150 yards distance, and the ten highest scored were selected for firing at 200 yards. The following is the score : —

RIFLE MATCH.

A eifle match between ten members of No 2 and ten of No 3 Company Auckland Eifle Brigade took place on Saturday afternoon at the Eange, Mount Eden. The scoring was not so good as might be expected; this was probably owing to the strong wind prevailing at the time. The ranges were 200, 400, and 500 yards, five shots at each range. Captain Yon der Heyde and Lieut. Matthews of No 2 company and Lieut. Harrison of No 3 company were present. The result was in favour of No 2 company by 29 points. The total scores are as follows. —■ No. 2 265 points. No. 3 236 points. The prize consisted of a barrel of ammu nition. We understand that another match will be arranged between the two companies shortly.

A special meeting of the No 3 Company Eifle Brigade, will be held to-morrow evening, at the Belfast Hot.l, at 8 o'clock. There is important business to transact.

Battery drill of the members of No 1 Company, Naval Volunteers, will take place at half-past six every Tuesday morning, at Fort Britomart.

We peiceive that Colonel Harington, the Inspecting Field Officer of Militia and Volunteers, arrived from the South yesterday by the Taranaki. The class firing of volunteers will ter minate with the year. Members of the various corps osght therefore to lose no time in qualifying themselves. The members of No. 5 Company are informed in another column that their usual weekly parade will be held on Thursday evening instead of Tuesdays. The alteration is made in consequence of the members having to attend the class firing on Tuesday morning. The cadets belonging to the company will also parade on Tuesday at 5 a.m., and Thursdays at 7 p.m., until further notice.

Members of the Auckland Eifie Brigade who desire to furnish company represen tatives, have received instructions to assemble at the rifle range at either 9 a.m. or 2 p.m. to-morrow.

The Artillery Band performed on Sa turday afternoon in the Barrack Square. A very good selection of music was well played, although we detected considerable weakness in the intermediate parts. This, however, may well be attributed to the t ■ jiulty which the men find in attending o__ _aturday*afternoons, and will probably be remedied when early closing becomes the order of the day.

" What is your business ? " said the judge at the Tombs the other morning to a prisoner. I'm an observalionist, your honor." "An observationist ! What is that ' " One who looks around in the daytime to see what he can steal at night, if it pleases your honor." It did not please his honor, and so he sent the ob servationist to the penitentiary for sixty

LAUNCH OF A SCHOONER.

A remarkably handsome topsail schooner was launched this morning at high water, from tho building yard of Messrs Niccol and Son, at Devonport, North Shore. A great crowd of persons attended to watch the operations, and many had availed themselves of the opportunity given by a lovely day, and the attraction of what is always an interesting ceremony, the starting of a new vessel on her varied career. All arrangement., had been effectually made, and as the new-born child began to move towards the water Mrs Conroy administered tho baptismal rite, and dashed the inevitable bottle of cham pagne to atoms against the bows, naming her the Dauntless. The schooner hss been built to the order of Messrs d nroy and Moller, and will be commanded by the latter gentleman and employed in the Tauranga, for which she has been specially designed, having very large passenger accomodation, with a separate cabin for ladies. She measures 72 tons register, and will carry about 120 tons.

After the more serious business had been completed, Mr Nichol invited the whole of the large party into one of his building sheds, where a splendid luncheon had been set out, with sufficient cham pagne to float the new craft. There, after refreshing, a variety of toasts wero pro posed and drunk, among them of course, the healths of the builders. It is worthy of notice, that in proposing this toast, Captain Fox, a nautical gentleman from Sydney, passed the highest enconiums on tlie Auckland built vessels. Messrs Micol have another vessel of a similar class on the stocks, which they are con structing in their usual workmanlike man ner ; and the ' Star of the South,' is on their patent slip, and will be launched to-mor row' having received a thorough over hauling..
