Recruits Wanted. Lieut-Colonel Bird, addressing the company, said they had come to the end of another training ses- As he had been away for the greater part of the time, he could not speak from personal experience of the work done, but from what Major Murdoch had told him söme very good training bad been accom. plished. He regretted to say that the strength of the Corps had fallen, owing chiefly to people leaving the Colony and to the besitancy of new arrivals to join.
It was
especially the young men who had had no previous training that they want-
to get hold of, and he hoped all would endeavour to assist in encollig as many as they could. The rifle shooting, he was glad to hear, produced keen competition. The Corps failed to maintain its hold on the Belilios Shield, but they hoped to regain their proper position at the head of the League next year. In conclusion, the Commandant thanked all thuse who had kindly contributed towards the prize fund, the Committee whose strenuous work resulted in the meeting being such a success, and the Officers of the Regiment, the gunners and sappers who bad assisted in various ways by giving instruction and lectures.
