Loyalty and Royalty.
(To tho Editor of tho Times.)
Sib, —Seeing that the time ia approaching for the visit of tho Duke of York to We 1 - lington. I trust that our local volunteer corps may be well represented at the march past, and not that only, but that they may see and learn more while in camp, so that they may he better able to defend us find ours in time of war, if over they should be called on to do so. I believo they would stand to the last man to defend us. The instructors give their time to instruct, the men theirs for instruction, that they may become more efficient in the use of arms. The question is, what shall wo do ? Shall we refuse to let them go ? (I mean those of us who have tho honor of having volunteers working for us), or threaten to put some one else in their place if they go, and so on ? No, that won’t do at all. Lot us holp them when we can. Let us send them to ■Wellington, by all means. No doubt it will inconvenience us a bit, so it will them, but it will soon he over, and they will be all tho better for what they see and learn. Trusting that we may see a strong force leaving Gisborne on tho 12th to represent us at Wellington, I am, otc., Ose Who Would Like to be Thebe.
