On taking Ofhie at the opening of the year your Council bund that there were More outstanding accounts against the association than the balance in their hands from the previous year would pay so that they had at once to take Steps to raise Money for the Purchase of practice the affiliation fee to the Dominion Rille association and to carry on the necessary works and repairs on the association ranges. This unenviable part of the work of the Council was principally carried out by the exertions of the president Geo. B. Spencer and the first vice president Hon. A. G. B. Bannatyne m.p., who by their timely exertions " u offences related in communication arc truly grievous unless they can be proven with the publication of said com Maui Milit be dist Rous. If tilings Are As say Aid of the Law should be sought.

This necessary work poor half starved dogs which Are i along with the change in the system of Lod to draw half grown boys on a marking which was adopted to agree with the City will soon have better j regulations caused the out the attention of the authorities has of considerable Money As it was found to this species of cruelty and j necessary to repair the targets to alter the 1 plan of the Marker s Butts and to replace in a different form and at some expense the Butts in rear of the your Council All along had Boon aware of the Scarcity of j rifles which could be used by members not belonging to an armed company of the Active m militia and were very anxious lest the Success of the year should lie interfered with on this account but they trusted that the. Major general commanding who was expected to arrive almost daily would Sec his Way Clear to authorize the military store keeper at fort Osborne to Issue on loan a sufficient number of rifles to the association great Deal of unavoidable trouble was thus Given to major Peebles the Supply officer to whom the association Are much indebted for his uniform kindness and the help he has rendered their Secretary and Range superintendent in various ways. The Deputy adjutant general having approved the Issue on loan of a sufficient number of Bell touts Complete your Council was spared the expense of erecting buildings As those tents together with the refreshment Booth belong ing to the association caterer answered every purpose. Your Council having decided to hold the annual prize meeting As Early in the season As possible the preliminary were pushed Forward and everything on the Range put in order so that the Council were enabled to publish the prize list by the a just August Ami fix the Date for i lie prize meet ing for the 31sl. The prize lists showed a marked improvement Over that of any pre Vious year in Point ol1 amount of Cash prizes and value of Art ides offered and As the entries for the various matches were so numer Ous your Council Trust the members of the association were satisfied with the labors of the Council in collecting the various prizes and Tho amount of Money which was not obtained without considerable hard work on the part of some at least of Tho members of the Council. It being considered advisable by some of the Council to have a Kohl Range match and the members of the coun cil who were in of it required to be responsible for Tho amount to be offered less the Entrance docs a match open to any Rifle at goo 8uo, Yards was placed on Tho prize lists. The prize meeting was opened on the 31st August by miss Morris who very kindly consented to be present and fire the first shot. The meeting having been then formally opened the competitors proceeded to Busi Ness when the various matches were called and proceeded with in Tho order in which they appeared in the published prize list. It was found necessary about noon of the Day both on account of time and on account of the Supply of ammunition to alter Tho number of ranges to lie shot at in the different matches Public notice of the change was Given and it seemed to give Al most general satisfaction to the members and others present. Into a very Only changes made in the published regulations. The latter change was made As it was found that there were no rifles on the ground which on our Range at least could make Good scores at the Yards target. It was hoped by some that the offering of Liberal prizes in this match would bring to Light some of the Long Range rides which were said to be in the country or induce members to Purchase first class rifles and have them to hand in time for the meeting. But finding that they had been disappointed in the arrival of rifles which could successfully fire at the longest Range they agreed and urged the change which was done by the vote of those present. This very successful meeting was brought to a close on the afternoon of Tho fourth Day the tents were struck and returned in to store that same afternoon in Good order and condition and As the Deputy adjutant general had the president of the association that lie would require the tar gets for the annual Rille practice of Hie men under his command and that a Range further from the City was preferable for their use i the targets Complete wore returned into i store the following Day. The Bridge Plank j and other movable property of the association was also removed and stored in the armory of the Winnipeg Field Battery which was placed at the disposal of the association for the purpose.
