Owing to unfavorable weather conditions, the transfer of the men from the Trentham camp to the new sites has not yet been resumed.

It was intended to send' the Sixth Infantry Reinforcements to the new camp at Tauherenikau to-day, but, owing to further rain, their departure was further postponed. Heavy rain was falling at Tauherenikau to-day, and it was decided to move the men there to the Masterton show grounds, where they will be billeted for a day or two until the floors of their tents" have been made and other arrangements for ensuring the greatest possible comfort of the men have been completed. Finer weather prevailed in the Alanawatu district to-day, and the arrangements for putting the Trentham regiment into camp on the new site at Rangiotu (between Lougburn and Foxton were advanced a considerable stage.
