T3 THE EDITOR OF THE PR2SS. Sm. —I ccc " Bohemian :, tbia week acknowledged a cird from the Christ's College Rifle«, tnd, in doing «o, be prai*e« that
corps to the skies, and I am afraid after this they will sever drill any more. Colonel Fcx will not nesd to inspect them. Thoy should at once be put in a glass case, ere they tarnish. It is not often so much proficiency is found in one company, and it ie necessary it should be reserved as a guide for future generation?. But is this to be taken seriously 1 If so, the other companies had better adopt tho methods of this corpa by irregular aud small attendance, inferior drill, poor shooting, general get-up of a very second rate order; in fact, this toff corpa is the only one which fulfils the saying " Playing at eoldiers."—Yours, &c, Old Volcnteee. January 4th, 1896.
