Mounted Volunteer Riflemen shooting at Wimbledon for Colonel Loyd-Lindsay's Prize, 1873. One of the most interesting features of the late meeting of the National Rifle Association on Wimbledon-common was the competition for the prizes, of £50 and £25, given by Lieutenant- Colonel Loyd-Lindsay, V.C. and by the Association, to yeomanry cavalry, volunteer light cavalry, or volunteer mounted riflemen, for the best performances in riding, hurdlejumping, dismounting to shoot, and shooting at ranges of 200 and 500 yards. They had three quarters of a mile to ride, two flights of hurdles to leap, and five shots for each man to fire, all within twelve minutes...The Devon, Sussex, and Hampshire men used the short Snider rifles; the others were armed with the Westley-Richards piece...Colonel Jenyns, Assistant-Adjutant- General, Horse Guards, was umpire, and a number of officers, including Sir Henry Havelock, witnessed the competition...The first prize was won by the first section of the Warwick Yeomanry, making 90 points in ten minutes; the Royal Bucks Yeomanry Horse Artillery, which made 87 points in eleven minutes, took the second prize; next in merit were the Devon Light Horse Volunteers, who made 81 points in nine minutes'.
