The latest of these is a great international shooting contest handsome prizes will be awarded to the cleverest French and English marksmen, among whom competition promises to be keen, yet friendly The Massena which is to be Vice Admiral Caillard's flag-ship during the visit of the British Flest, has been provided with a magni- ficant silver tablo service. The Commander-in- chief of the French Northern Squadron is most popular in all naval circles, and he is certain to do things as handsomely as could be desired, and so reflect credit on naval France, when the time comes.
