COLONEL ALLEN BELL, ON "FANCI UNIFORMS." By Tc]c£r«oh.—Pre«» Aitocl«.tioa,i Hamilton, March 27. Colonel Allen Dell, lately in command of the mounted forces of this district, anil who was olio of the first to advocate the universal military movement in New Zealand, when interviewed on the recent Wiiilento camps, said they surpassed his fondest holies. _ If the results obtained ; n other districts were like those obtained here, all objections to the system would be (illicitly dispelled. The timo had conio j'or radical alteration in the old-time (irmy methods. Fancy uniforms consisting of frock coats, yards of gold lace, and cockcd hats, with feathers, which look very pretty on a lady, but made a soldier look effeminate and ridiculous, must bo swept out of existence, with many other customs that had been handed down from ! tlia dark ages.
