RECRUITING AT THE RACES
Recruiting depots were established at the Trenthara racecourse yesterday, a flag-bedecked tent being set up in tb© outside enclosure and on the lawn. They were in charge of Mr. R. Darroch, who was assisted by Mr. Arcus and two staff sergeants-major.' Six doctors were in attendance to examine the recruits. The result of the day's work was one recruit, who was passed as fit for active service. This small tally was considered satisfactory, in view of the fact that there was not a largo number of young men present, apart from the soldiers from Trentham Camp, who were present to the number of several thousands, special general leave having been granted._ At the stewards' luncheon, the president of the club asked members to handover their binoculars at the end of the. meeting for t7ie uso of officers of tho Now Zealand forces.
