to Fight,
Mr. Justice Bucknill, whe presided over a smoking concert at Epsom, given in aid of the war relief fund, referred with pride to the fact that his late father initiated the Volunteer movement in the West of England. If necessity arose, continued the judge, he too should be willing again to don the Volunteer's uniform and join the Epsom corps. Though in the autumn of his years, he would rather put his

A number of officers and men have, long ago, volunteered to go on active service, and more inen are likely to volunteer than will be wanted. This "keenness" to see service is, indeed, the animating spirit of the Yeomany throughout

At the opening of The campaign the common expectation was that the Boers would score a Tew slight strees ses, due to the numerical weakness of the English troops that could be opposed to the in the first instance.
