cluded with Turkey, is bound to put a stop to the
horrible massacres of the Christians in Syria. The
Turkish authorities not being capable of protecting
the Sultan's own subjects, France will concert with
the other powers the most efficacious means for
preventing the bloody scenes of which Syria has
become the theatre.

TBE SRAM FIGHT ON SATURDAY

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sits,—Some erroneous reports regarding the pro-
posed " sham fight" on Saturday next have been
circulated. Permit me, through your journal, to
state, for public information, the arrangements for
that day.
The London Bridge and the Pimlico Railway
Companies will convey such metropolitan corps as
wish to be present to and from the Southampton-
road station at Bd. per head. Trains will leave the
above stations at 3.30 p.m.
Corps coming from other directions will arrange
so as to reach the Southampton road station, Kent,
about four o'clock, as the, evolutions will commence
at five o'clock.
The force will be divided into two divisions (one
for attack, the other for defence), under the respec-
tive commands of Lieut.-Cols. Hicks,Thorold, Lind-
say, and Lords Radstock and Bury.
Mr. Strode has most liberally lent his beautiful
grounds for the proposed evolutions, maps of which
have been prepared by Mr. Wyld f Charing-cross,
and by Captain M'Gregor of the London Scottish,
showing the direction of the various mancenvres,
and instruotions for placing the carriages, &c., of
visitors.

Captain Grant's apparatus for cooking is to be
tested on the occasion, as also a field telegraph.
It is not intended for the volunteers to pass a
night under canvas ; they will return between 9 and
10 o'clock, and I trust they will satisfactorily close
this, their first, essay in military tactics.—l am,
sir, your most obedient servant,
Volunteer Service Club, RANELAGH.

THE VOLUNTEERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—In the name of the Volunteers of Great
Britain, and more particularly of those selected by
their different corps to compete for the prizes of the
National Rifle Association, we would request the
favour of your inserting this letter, expressive of
our grateful thanks to General Hay, Captain
M'Kay, and all the officers and non-commissioned
officers employed officially on Wimbledon-common
during the meeting, for their unremitting kindness
and assiduity in the exercise of their functions. It
may not perhaps be generally known that all the
musketry instructors, to whose valuable and inde-
fatigable exertions the success of the whole meet-
ing is mainly attributable, volunteered for the ser-
vice, and came at their own expense and, in many
cases, at considerable inconvenience, to serve the
cause we all have so much at heart. Considering
this, and the great and unwearied exertions of the
fatigue parties and markers at the butts, we wish
to propose that every one who shot at Wimbledon,
whether Volunteers or not, and who competed either
for the great prize or for the less noble, though not
less profitable, favours of " Aunt Sally," should, in
acknowledgment of the same, contribute—say,
2s. 6d., to a fund for distribution, as shall be de-
cided upon by the recognized authorities.
The Secretary of the Volunteer Club, St. James-
street, Mr. William Hyde Carteret, R.N., will re-
ceive and account for all contributions , an.d we
trust you, sir, will assist us by giving the greatest
dublicity to the proposal—the only thing requisite,
we feel confident, to insure its ready acceptance.
We are. sir, yours obediently,
FEILDING, Captain, 4th Flintshire R.V.

shire R V.
