THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT IN CARDIFF. R. TO THE EDITOR. oiR, As the War Office authorities are no considering the question of keeping the volunteer force of the country from decreasing in mim, would it not be wise to look at the volunteer corps m our own town ? The corps to which 1 wouia particularly refer is the Cardiff Detwhrnent 3rd .B. elsh Regiment. It may not be a me to remark that I have visited several■*> wnich boast volunteer corps, and a variably I have found several methods =■ t]1Q for giving the men good recreation |lv ordinary drills every week. This been in the shape of a good and .topics, sions on current military t the most ap- or periodical smoking concerts, bu proved appears to be the ^cardiff Drill- You may have noticed that ersion into a hall is admirably adapted for fgw rQpes aad pod gymnasium, only wantio.on haU {or the bars to make it a fine worthy corps. A benefit of the me^rsof th jn teniporary short time ago J to fit up a gymnasium command at Cardiff offer hig but in the Drill-hall Officers have' had a circumstances ^g esteblishment of so most damping mention that this goodanmst prepared and esti- same officer w;th this object in view, mfpn3c&es most disastrous to an object of this Si ""of • ,r°b to \hs kl i. nf the members of the corps, who 5^, n ot attach the slightest stigma of v>l e to one who is, without doubt, one of the most popular and best drilling officers in the whole regiment. It has also been brought to my notice that some of the non commissioned officers and men would be glad to sn eribe to any list raised for the purpose of providing a gym- nasium, and I am sure some of the officers would come to the front with their subscriptions if you, sir, or someone else wore to start a subscription list in your columns. One of the officers or non- coms. could easily be got to undertake collecting the subscriptions of the men, who would, without doubt, heartily support the movement. An institution of this kind would greatly tend to keep the officers in touch with their men, and would be of great advantage to volunteers durin^ the winter months, in which drills are suspended! That this would tend in a great measure to make the volunteer corps in Cardiff much more popular than they are at present is self-evident. Probably the commanding officer will see it to the benefit of the fine corps under his command to take this matter into his consideration, and thus leave a "00d memento on record of the second time of his attainment to the command of the Cardiff Detachment or a committee might be formed of officers, non-commissioned officers, and men to work for the attainment of so desirable au object. 1 should be glad to receive the opinions of other members of the corps.—1 am, &c Cardiff, Oct. 22.
