The club is now in the same condition; and it only remains to be seen if the victories of American riflemen in the great International matches of 1876 and 1877 have given any enthusiasm more lasting than that of momentary pleasure at the American victories to our undergraduates. If it has, will they not join the Rifle Club? and if they think that club, in its present condition, is undeserving of their support, will they...

The subject is one of great interest, and deals with facts that every one, whatever his belief may be, should be acquainted with. Father Hall is a graduate of Christ Church, Oxford, and a member of the society of St. John the Evangelist. He has made a special study of Church History, and cannot fail to treat his subject in an interesting and masterly...
