With the displacement of on© contingent of men at the Trentham camp another lot is hot in literally before the beds have time to cool. Tne' Sixth Reinforcements will be moving Trenthamwards on Sunday and Monday next. The officers and N.C.O.'s of this Force have been under canvas for some weeks past, being accustomed to their duties. Now their men are on the move irom the North Cape to. the Bluff ; and Monday will see a scene of considerable activity as the new men shake-down in their quarters, and begin to forget that they are civilians in tne added importance of being soldiers of the King in war-time.

The Wellington Military Area's men for the Sixth are to assemble at th« Buckle Street Drill Hall at 10 a.m. on Monday, and will leave for Trentham by the 1.20 p.m. train. STREET PARADES.

To-day the Mounted Infantry, Engineers. and Field Artillery will come to town, and may be seen parading through the city at aboiit 11.80 a.m. The infantry will come in "to see the shops" to-morrow afternoon, and as they are a really magnificent body of troops, the public would ba well nd< vuetl » look out fat them,
