I have appeared here to-night at a considerable sacrifice to myself as 1 am billed to appear at Timaru, and have just received a telegram from the “ Parson ” slating that the doors of the hall were beseiged with people eager to hear my lecture. (Cries of “ Oh, oh !) The Tcmuka Volunteers under the the command of Captain Young together with the Tcmuka Fife ami Drum Baud under Bandmaster Gapes, held a church parade yesterday.
