THE PRIZE FIRING.
The Wellington Independent says :—■ "After deliberation in the matter, the Government have decided to suspend, for the present year, that clause in the firing regulations imposing a retrospective qualification for district representatives in the shape of attendance at specified drills between the beginning of April and the end of November. It should be borne in mind, however, that there is every likelihood of the rule being insisted on next year, and it would be advisable that our volunteers should so regulate their attendances as not to exclude themselves from the advantages of firing under the regulations of next year." The reason for suspending the rule on the present occasion appears to be the neglect of its observance by the Otago volunteers.
