THe Suvr.—The Team from Captain Moore’s Buttery of Artillery had their annual shifting competition on Tuesday evening, and the team from Captain Pasemore’s Company had their competition this foreaoon, Captain McDougall of the Charloltetown Engineers acted umpiro at both competitions. Captain Moore’s men performed their work in aplendid form, but unfortunately met with a mishap which increased their time in the performance to three minutes and ferty-seven seconds. The shift by Captain Passmore’s men was admirable, and although one of the team— Gunner Robertson—had his hand broken during the competition, the others worked unfjinchingly to the finish, and executed the shift in the short space of two minutes and twelve seconds. Captain Moore was No. lin his team, and Sergt. Palmer No. Lin Captain Passmvre’s, It will be difficult for any team in Canada to beat the time made by Captain Passmore’s team.
