THE MISSING CUP.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)

Sic,—Permit me to inform " Enquiring Voluuteer" that the production he fathers does not eminate from a mdmber of the Thames Rifle Rangers, or he would knowall about the Cup—-where it is "planted,*^ and all arrangements regarding it so farV the matter having been repeatedly before the company and dealt with on parade. I would further inform him that therefore it is none of his business, and still further, that his flimsy and transparent dodge to sow dissension in the ranks of the T.JS.K. by such vile and mean insinuations is entirely fruitless, as the business of our corps is conducted in an honest, open, and above-board manner. The men know their officers, and have confidence in them; the officers know their men, and have like confidence, and, therefore, can afford to treat with utter contempt such despicable attempts to destroy this feeling (of which we are justly proud) in any other interest whatever." I trust this reply will be entirely satisfactory to " Enquiring Volunteer," and, should he require further information, let him for once act " the man," and append his name."—l am, &c, E. T. Douglas.
