WE are pleased to learn that a detach- ment of Major Morris’ Battery of Garrison Artillery have been declared the winners in a shifting ordnance competition, open to all Garrison Artillery aftiliated with the Do- minion of Canada Artillery Association. The shift in this competition consisted in mounting a 3J-pr. gun, resting on two short skids on the ground, up the rear of a stand- ing garrison carriage, and lowering it into the trunnion holes, replacing stores and making the gun ready for service. This the detachment succeeded in doing in one minute and twenty-five seconds, beating the best time made against them by half a minute. The prize won consisted of a
Hand-book of Field Service, to the com- mander of the detachment, and $20 for the detachment.
