The Wimbledon Prize Meeting: rifle match between the Lords and the Commons, 1862. View of a '...match between eleven members of the House of Lords and an equal number of the House of Commons, which took place on Wimbledon Common on Saturday week. The Peers were victorious, beating their opponents by 62 points...When the numbers were finally announced the Commons looked for a moment rather blank, but then said, Lord Elcho, "Well, let's give three cheers for the Lords!" and three hearty cheers were given, which were echoed back by the victors'.
