Lieutenant-Colonel Hume will inspect the Manchester Rifles on Monday next. The fines for absence from parade on that occasion will be for officers M, and for non-commissioned officers and men £1. In case of sickness a medical certificate will have to be forwarded. The Defence Minister has informed Captain Somerville that 50,000 rounds of .ammunition (Ely's we presume) will be given by the Government for the N.Z.B.A. meeting. This is a very acceptable.donation, and as the annual grant of .£SOO was voted, it will just make the difference between success and failure — meeting or no meeting. Captain Sommerville has, at the request of the Government, sent in a report on the Victorian Centennial meeting and the doings of our representatives. It is understood the next Easter Encampment will be held in Nelson.
