THE VOLUNTEER CHRONICLE

THE RIFLE ASSOCIATION MATCH.

The following are the scores of members who fired in the third squad yesterday at the rifle range:—

AUCKLAND VOLUNTEER MATCH.

The firing to-day at the rifle range consisted of a match amongst efficient Volunteers in the Auckland district. The ranges were 200, 400, and 500 yards ; fite shots at each range ; no trial shots at 200 yards. The prizes are— First prize a silver cup presented by Mr R. Seek, jeweller, of Queen street, with £5 added ; second prize, £3 ; third prize, £2 ; highest score at each range, £1. The cup will be held for ono year, and will become the property of the Volunteer winning it twice consecutively or three times altogether. The following scores will show the firing was not at all behind that of previous days. A protest was lodged by Mr. McConnell against any person firing who did not appear in uniform. The third squad did not commence till two o'clock.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF AN AERONAUT IN AMERICA.

Peofessok Donaldson, who has been giving ballon ascensions, and during the ascent performing a variety of feats upon a trapeze suspended beneath the balloon, at Norfolk, Va., was nearly killed recently. He had ascended about one mile from the earth, and while performing upon the trapeze concluded that he would descend, and pulled the valve cord to allow the gas to escape. The valve not opening he pulled again, and it still remaining closed he pulled violently with both hands ; still the valve would not open, and he then gave a strong jerk, which was followed by a sharp hissing sound, like the tearing of cloth, followed by a rushing noise, which convinced him the balloon had burst. Fortunately the rush of air from beneath prevented it collapsing, but it leaned over on one side and descended with frightful rapidity. Mr. Donaldson was seated on the cross-piece above the trapeze bar. In a short time the balloon struck the branches of a tree and went crashing through the limbs, the ropes and the trapeze catching on which in a measure retarded the velocity of the descent. Donaldson was dashed to the earth, and, landing among briars, his clothing was much torn and his body considerably lacerated. His escape from death was almost miraculous. As soon as he re covered himself he found he was on the edge of a swamp some five miles from Norfolk. Procuring assistance, he folded his balloon, which he found rent from top to bottom, and returned to Norfolk.
