Volunteer Items
The Manchester Rifles paraded for inspection on Thursday night, when there was a full muster. After parade there was a meeting of the shooting committee, when it was decided that owing to a prior engagement with the Marton Royal Rifles, the proposed match with the Manawatn Rifle Club could not be held on the 17th instant. It has been finally resolved (says the New Zealand Times) that the Easter Volunteer Encampment shall be held at Johnsonville, tbe Manawatu Railway Company having very generously responded to the overtures of the Government by agreeing to charge less than half rates. The encampment wdl be held in Mr Bonld's 80-acre paddock, near the racecourse. The Welhngton and Petone Naval Artillery Corps will have a camp of their own near one of tbe forts.
