(SOUTH AFRICA.) The ninth annual reunion of the old comrades of the Sixth New Zealand Mounted liifles (South Africa) i? to be held this year at Godber's, Cuba Street, on June 2 next. In his official reminder to the "boys," Lieut. Frank Beamish indites a stirrine Appeal for a good muster. "You know,'' he writes, "that your section mate proyed himself a man over and over asain, and you haven't forgotten him. This year you are to make up your mind to meet him in person, and tell him to his head that ho was 'white* out there, and that it was worth going through to find out that about him. Your wifo understood long ago that you had a pride in the old regiment, and now the kiddies are beginning to understand that daddy went to war once, and will yarn by. tho hour with any other war man who comes his way. You must train the wife and kiddies to turn you out onro a year to go to Wellington to get some war glint in your eve, nntl your mind refreshed about incidents that may be getting hazy in your- recollection."
