COLONIAL REPRESENTATIVES.

The volunteers 'who are now; in Nelson for the purpose ipf. taking part id : tHe prize firing, together with the City, Rifles and cadet corps, paraded on the green in front of the; Police /Station / on Sunday morning at 10. o'clock, under the command of Major Gordon, whotook the opportunity of giving instructions as to the rendezvous on Tuesday; morning, and the means of getting on to_ the range, to which the representatives will be carried by -coaches supplied by Mr< Newton, whose teniJer for the service has been accepted by. the Government. ' Major •■ Gordon further stated tbat he had been. requested to inform the representatives that arrangements had been made by the inhabitants of Nelson for providing them each day with lanch gratis, an act of hospitality that he believed was unprecedented in the annals of-vdlunteer-ing in the colony. The Volunteers, headed by the band, then marched to'Chriet Church, where arrangements had been made' for seating as many as chose, to. attend the service. These were taken advantage of by nearly the - whole Jofl them, and a most admirable sermon suitable to the occasion was preached by the -Rev. G.. H. Johnstone, who took, fp'r his. /text the words, " Watch ye, stand fast in-tue faith, quit ye like men, be strong.": . After service they again fell in at the foot . of the Church Hill, and accompanied by the band marched back to the Drill Shed where- they were dismissed.
