The Piako Mounted Rifles fired the | marksmen's course on Saturday last, | under the supervision of Capt. J. E. | Barton, of the Regimental Staff. This ; squadron is recruiting well of late, ! and gives promise of coming to the j "Trek" camp with a lar&e muster. ! The Te Mata Troop of the Raglan : Mounted Rifles paraded at Kauroa on j Saturday last. There was a good mus- ] ter. Sergt-Major Coleman instructed j the men in skirmishing, in view of | the manoeuvres during the week's j "Trek." j 1 There is a possibility of the Raglan j Mounted Rifles being considerably ! strengthened in the near future by the | formation of a troop at Kawhia. A combined field day for the King ( Country Rifle Clubs has been arranged " for the 21th February, when the Upper King Country, Ohura, Kakahi and Kiokio Rifle Clubs will assemble at , Kakahi, where field firing will beprac- j ticed. A meeting will be held after * th • field exercises to consider the question of providing a trophy for annual competition, also to consider . the question of adopting uniforms. ~ " i The D Squadron, Cambridge, will fire \ their marksmen's course on Saturday j next, and N.C.O's will also be exam- , ined by StafT-Sergt-Major Coleman. j - !
