CHELTENHAM CONCERT.

. TO. THE EDITOR O* THK STAR. , . : . «ib,— ln reply, to Mr Bruce's letter, ': which appeared in your issue of June 30th, I beg to state that I do not for a moment doubt the fact that the." blow on the back " referred to was but " a ':.'] clear statement of opinion pasted by" ; the Sports Committee." It is this \* v = dear statement which I object to.' *: What was there to warrant it? 'Mr : 'f Cartwright had published but a plain T l and simple denial of a rumor which ? was entirely without foundation but had signed as "on behalf of th* Otfhv' - mittee,"— a little latitude which, I think, would be usually granted to an « Hon. Sec., in such a^case.^ v Jffq^, Sir, as : every member of "tfib Committee * knew that my consent to the use of the woolshed had not been withdrswn, rit would hare come with better graofe if they had overlooked this slight itt«in> a advertency of the 3 Hon. Sec. and havtf*^ ' simply approved of hi* scion, but, nor . they must take the extreme course of publishing a statement to -the effect ' that Mr Cart Wright's letter was inserted without the knowledge of tbe committee and which' couis* was, £' consider, under the circumstandeej most uncalled for and, unfair to both ' Mr Oartwrigbt and Myself. In con* elusion I may say that my former remarks were not inteaded for Mr Bruce personally, though hiring assisted to " fire a shot " UDaoimously he should '■ be prepared !' to stand by his guns."
