TO THE EDITOB. Sir, —In your notice of the Inspection Parade held last Tuesday, Major Newall is reported to hare expressed himself "highly phased with the drill of the Riflrs, and alao noticed a marked improvement m that of the Guards." I havf, on former occasions, notload a tendency to lean ia thta direction m reports of Volunteer matters, and I write to put yon on your guard against reoelvlng aa gocpel, communications from that quarter. No doubt your Informant thoaght Major Newall ought- to have expressed himself In the above terms, but nnfortuqately for your informant it was not 'exactly 50... What the Major did Bay vras that •• he was highly pleased with the drill of both campanles, and he notioed a marked improvement all round," It Is hardly worth while suggesting anything m the direction of good taste to your informant, but I hope this will have the effect of keeping him Btrlotly to the troth for the future* I am, eto.i James Kblb, Ashburton, May 10th, 1888.
