BOER FORCES IN THE FIELD.

WELLINGTON COLLEGE. rt "l HE Second Term will begin on JL TUESDAY, 4th June. The Headmaster will receive parents and guardians on Friday Afternoon, 31st May. , CHAS. P. POWLES, Secretary.

WHEN the war m South Africa was still in its infancy, it was estimated that the number of Boers in the field did not exceed40,000, and this information was solemnly cabled out to the colony by the Agent-General. Wedl, that 40,000 has been knocked about pretty badly in the intervals, hundreds have been' buried, hundreds have been wounded and rendered unfit for service, and thousands have been captured, and now it is estimated that there are still 16,500 Boers in the field. The original estimates must have been made by first-class fools or patent liars. The number the British are now called upon to deal with is very small, and, if they could be rounded up in one spot the game would soon end, but they are scattered all over the country, and this is what makes Kitchener's work tedious. However, the brigade commanders are keeping De Wet, De la Rey, and the others on the move, and capturing and killing at every turn. The game will drag on for some time vet, but it is bound to end as ue want it to. It is not fighting, but chasing, and sooner or later the man that is hunted gets tired. It is remarkable how tired most of the brands of tea feel since Suratura tea began hunting them out of the market. Suratura comes from Ceylon, and is guaranteed not blended with Indian, China, or any cheap or inferior teas.
