Volunteer rifle-match at Folkestone, 1869. On Saturday and Tuesday, before and after the volunteer review at Dover meetings of volunteer marksmen took place at Folkestone, to compete for a number of prizes. The shooting was conducted, according to a well-arranged programme, under the superintendence of the Hythe Instructors of Musketry. Both Sniders and Enfield rifles were allowed; and some of the prizes were shot for at 200 yards, some at 500 yards. The attendance was numerous; but the high wind not being favourable to good shooting, there were many more misses than hits on the target. In the All-Comers competition, seven shots with Enfield rifles, Mr. C. F. Moore, of the 22nd Middlesex Rifles, took the first prize with twenty-one points, out of a possible score of twenty-eight. Corporal Leete and Private Hunt, Queens Westminster Rifles, and Sergeant Palmer and Private Curtis, 1st Surrey Rifles, also took prizes. From "Illustrated London News", 1869.
