THE " SPECTATOR " EXPERIMENTAL COMPANY. WE have received a

subscription of £10 from Mr. Heward Bell, and also one of £1 ls. from Mr. W. G. Rawlinson, towards providing the extra ammunition desired by Colonel Pollock for the training of the Company in shooting. We shall be very glad to receive any other subscriptions that may be sent us for this purpose. Colonel Pollock estimates that the cost of providing the additional ammunition and of sending the men by train to the butts for the extra practice will amount to about £100. Owing to the large amount of unforeseen and unexpected expenses incurred, including Government charges connected with the use of the huts at Hounslow and of equipment, it was found impossible to provide the cost of the extra ammunition and extra journeys to the butts out of the original fund.
