THE TERRITORIALS.

A MISUNDERSTANDING. A good parade was, held in the old Masonic Hall last night, when Captain Dampen was in attendance. An interesting lecture on the care and cleaning of arms, and also .on. the rudiments of semaphore signalling i.vas, given by Staff-Se,rgeant r Mujor Dalljnger. /' _ Some misunderstanding ’exifets among the .territorials with regard to the parades, many thinking tJiat attendance is still voluntary. This is not the case. Before the 3ist of March, ,-acli territorial has got to put in twelve oveuiug parades of one hour, four half-day parades, or two whole day parades, and seven days in camp. ■ Senior cadets, must put in seventeen parades of one hour each, two half .lays of three hours, and a prescribed course in musketry. Cadets will not 'o into camp.
