TERRITORIAL GYMKHANA SPORTS MEETING.

Arrangements for the forthcoming Gymkhana to be held on the 26th inst. on tho Show Grounds, Hawera, are well in hand, and the meeting jlroxnises to be a particularly attractive one. The Territorials and Cadets are practising assiduously, and the various teams and companies are putting in good work. The Association are offering challenge trophies for company and teams events, any of which will be worth a little training on the part of Territorials. A silver cup will be given for the best turned out mounted man with troop horse, which has been through one or more camps, the horse not necessarily to be the property of tho rider. There will be much music and rivalry in the bugling competition, and tbe mounted jumping over tho usual show ring jumps will be well contested. The secretary (Mr Treweek) has received intimation of competitors from all along the coast, Cadets being particularly strong in numbers. Free railway passes will bo granted those competing on application to the Officer Commanding No. 8 Area Group, Defence Office Hawera. There will be a good muster of Territorials mounted, some of the Companies being instructed to parade on that day, which will be counted as a whole day parade. All entries close on Saturday next with Mr Treweek.
