Many years ago, wben Easter encampments were tho rule, one was held at Waiwakailio, and there are no doubt some who will recollect what a disturbance thete was about tho meat supply. Mon marched around the camp with fixed bayonets and a joint of meat stuck thereon.'and the scene as nearly resembled a riot as it could be possible to find. Of recent years matters tn this connection, although there are still complaints, have greatly improved. The "Waikato Times,” writing on the feeding of 1200 troops at Hopu Hopu says: "The food this vear is excellently cooked and is wholesome and good. The men are well satisfied with it, and to this fact is largely duo the happy tone of the camp. There is nothing that more loads t 0 dissatisfaction amongst a concentration of troops of this kind than a commissariat which in any way fails. The daily consumption of . bread at the camp is 1200 loaves, while 18001 b. of meat go on to the fables.”
