H.MS. Ganges had the fine sver- age of 97.597 for 839 competitora with an average are of 16.8 years, The total number of boys from this establishment who ahot through the course was 1,277, the number counted in the competi- tion being half the full strength of the unit. Marksman and first class shot badges are awarded to 734 boys." A good deal of the credit for the continued 'success of the Ipswich establishment must be given to the enthusiasm and sound

SECOND PRIZE Second pisce has been taken by one of the small units, St. Peter's School, Seaford, the average

of the competitors being 13,3 years." This school put 17 boys through the course and won 14 Empire Marksman Hadges.. The team of eight had an average score of 96.75. Year after year, this small school has taken a high place in the competition.. The Moyal Grammar School O.T.C., Guildford, which came third, has also a fine record for consistently high scoring.

story woven with mystery and uncertainty ever since that tragic day in 1822 when Trelawny and Byron gathered the dust of Ariel from the funeral pyre on the shores or Viareggio.

somewhat dramatic circumstances. The discovery was made under In the Keats-Shelley Memorial in Rome, which is housed in the rooms where Keats Eved and died during his brief sojourn here. there is a steel safe wherein the more valuable items of the library And museum are preserved.
Inside this safe there is a steel drawer, the key of which had been lost ever since the death of Dr.
Nelson ay some years ago. Dr.
Nelson, Gay,
the distinguished American, antiquary and authority. on Shelley, was one of the most prominent founders of the Rome Memorial.
IN A STEEL DRAWER The steel drawer was for- ced by a locksmith in the pre- sence of the authorities, and all were gathered round
to see what literary treasures it might contain. A few present-day papers of no interest and two cardboard boxes'
were brought to view.
One of the boxes contained the gold pen which King Victor Em- manuel of Italy used when he in- scribed his, name at the opening ceremony of the Memorial in April, 1909. The other box contained the

There was a reduction in the num ber to those who entered from the Junior OT.C., which is difficult, to understand in view of the fact that the War Office now accepts the practices for the Lord Roberts Trophy in place of the official musketry small-bore course. There was a slight increase in numbers from the cadet units. and it is hoped that the recently restored status of the Cadet Force and the capitation grant for a fair stand arg of efficiency will stimulate entries in futu
future.
MASS EFFICIENCY The total number of boys who shot this year in Great Britain was 6,170 and there was a notable in- provement in the standard of marksmanship. Thirty-two units gained distinction for mass effi- ciency, that is, they averaged 75 per cent or over, and the indivi- dual awards included,81 silver and 31 bronze medals of honour, 968 marksman, and 633 first-class shot badges. The issue of the badges is authorized by the Admiralty and the War Office, but the cost falls on the endowment made by Coloned Raymond Ffennel and'ad- ministered by the National Ride Association.

The presumption is that this fragment of bone formed part of the ashes which had been pre- sented to the Memorial by a des cendant of Leigh Hunt, These nanes were given with the proviso, I understand; that they were not to be exposed to public view; so they were placed in a casket within an urn, and to-day that urn stands in the room in which Keats died.
It would appear that the ashes were originally preserved in this cardboard box; and that the frag- mant now discovered had been overlooked when the casket was sealed up. That is the assumption pending further research.
PART OF THE ASHES These ashes are not to be con- fused with the larger quantity of ashes of Shelley buried in the Pro- testant cemetery in Rome. The ashes lying in the cemetery were
taken
from the funeral pyre at Viareggie, placed on Byron's yacht, and carried to Leghorn, where they were consigned to an English mer- chant, and ultimately brought to Rome and placed in the custody of John Freeborn, then Acting Bri
Consul in Rome. After negotiations with the Roman authorities, they", were buried in the Protestant cemetery. It is to be remembered, however, that Leigh Hunt was present, to gether with Lord Byron, Trelawny, and Captain Shenley, shortly after the body of Shelley was burnt, so that it is probable that the relica now in the Keats-Shelley Memorial
