An important _ announcement was made by the Chief of the General Staff; Colonel Gibbon, to the infantry division of the Third Reinforcements at Trentham on Saturday. After traversing tho ground covered in tho Hon. J.

A certain percentage would remain behind for further training, and_ would be dispatched in the Fourth Reinforcements. It had not yet been decided who of the men in camp were to go and who were to remain, and the matter would probably be settled by lot.
