Again, wonat to see in Hongkong a fall muster of the whole Corps when we celebrate the sixtieth year of the Queen's reign. Not a single man should be absent ou the festive occasion, for there is bound to be a great military display in the colony, and nothing will be more impressive and last longer in one's memory ban the mobilisation of the whole fighting forces in the island. Such a display could be well given at the Happy Valley and we hope this idea will not bo lust eight of by the sub-Committee who have been appointed to frame a general pro gramms of arrangements. The Volunteer Corps is not so sirong that we can afford to send any of its members to England. They would de no good there, but by romaining here they will considerably further the volunteer cause in Hongkong. A deplation in the ranks of either officers or men would simply throw back the good and effective work which the Corps is now doing
