EASTER CAMP ABANDONED.
The prospect of a large attendance at the proposed military encampment at Himatarigi has so much less favourable during the past few days that the department has decided to abandon the camp altogether. It seems that the old prejudice against the locality of Foxton is-not yet dead. On the last occasion when a camp was held at Foxton there were grave complaints .regarding the water, supply, and generally about the unsuitability of the locality. Every precaution was taken this year to obviate the probability of such complaints being renewed. The spot chosen was some six miles from the --town of -Foxton, and provision was made for a good supply of well water for the men and of running water for the horses.—N.Z. Times.
