THE CAMPS.
SATISFACTORY CONDITIONS Though the prospect of entering camp in the prevailing winter weather may not appeal ko the men of the 32nd Reinforcements, who are to mobilise this' week, it is worthy of note that conditions in the camps are by no means bad. The cold which has accompanied the rain in the city is not noticeable in camp. At Trentham tlie alihosphere Has been still aud cdtiiparatively warm, arid tlie camp is thirty dry* in spite of the weather* Recent activities in street repairing and rolling HaVe added to the good state of the camp grohnds.
Although both main camps and Tauherenikau are fairly well filled, the fate of sickness continues at a very low percentage. With 3,000 ifieh iii can ip, there were only 32 men in hospital in Treiitham. If the low rate of sickness is maintained throughout the winter, it is expected that a world’s record as regards military camps will be achieved in New Zealand. It may be added that there is every reason to believe that the precautionary measures taken are responsible to a grfikt 6xtSht for this satisfactory state of things.
