Their victories and defeats are matters of much more interest to numbers of us than the team are likely to suppose; and though there may be some who were surprised at the first match, every one was sorry for the second.

That the Rifle Corps has so succeeded is now well assured; and it is to be hoped that the University at large will take an interest in the work which the corps is doing. The importance of a knowledge of military drill is well known; and the corps offers great facilities for drill to all members of the University.
