- THE "SPECTATOR" TENT AT BISLEy. (FIFTH YEAR.) [To THE
EDITOR OW TEE "SPECTATOR."] SIBI write to ask if readers of the Spectator will again kindly aid me in the training fund and camp expenses in con- =aka with-the. aeleolion and training , cadets to shoot in the Roberts Imperial Trophy -Competition (England -Team, 1911), and in assisting in the hospitality to British cadet marksmen from overseas. The weekly cost of a Spectator tent, which " houses" twenty cadets in camp during the training, is £16. The camp for selected Home cadets will be combined with that for the overseas cadets. Lord Plymouth and the Council of the Festival of Empire have granted a site for the Imperial Cadet Camp at the Crystal Palace and also• three hundred guineas towards this hospitality, and Colonel and Alderman Sir Charles Cheers Wakefield one hundred' pounds. As we expeot no fewer than 240 cadets from over- seas this summer, I am anxious to have assistance in thin direction. The twelve cadets from Canada, delegated- by the. Dominion Government, arrive this week, under the command. of Captain S. G. Hill, of Quebec. It would be of advantage if in this, the Coronation year, overseas cadet visitors were to be at no personal expense during their stay in the Mother Country. Cheques should be crossed Coutts and Co., Ltd., and sent to. me for acknowledgment in the Spectator.—I am, Sir, &c.,
