[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."] Sie,—The thanks of the
nation are due to you for boldly entering the lists in this matter. The Duke of Norfolk generously permits not only manceuvres, but large camps of Regulars and Volunteers, in the far-famed Park here. Arundel Park is famous for its great natural beauties, for the (leer which haunt its pleasant hills and dales, and for a delightful lake with swans and wildfowl. May I respectfully suggest that Mr. Akers-Douglas and the Ranger of Richmond Park might do worse than pay us a visit this summer during the time that the members of the Sussex Volunteer Infantry Brigade occupy their camping ground? The deer often ap- proach the camps and manifest little or no alarm, nor can I
imagine that there is appreciable damage or alarm caused to the many other animals which inhabit the Park,—not even to King Pheasant.—I am, Sir, &c., ARIINDELIAN. Arundel.
[Our correspondent gives yet another proof, though in truth none was wanted, of the patriotism, good sense, and good feeling that have always marked the actions of the Duke of Norfolk.—En. Spectator.]
