That Shanghai aud Singapore are improving each year is quite in order, as long as Hongkong keeps poco ahead and loads them on That the local Volunteers are apparently getting properly constituted, so for as rules and regulations are coacerned, and the agitation over the big scheme has ua- doubtedly done good.
That I hear a fair number have already bio sworn in as members of the newly-reco stituted Artillery Corps, and that Captain McCallum will ster his Battery in fairly good form before he takes his well-earned farlough.

That the efforts of the Provisional Comtait. tee to pat things in train were accepted by the meeting, the Association was duly formed; and a ama!!
