THE CADETS.

A PRIZE l'U-XD. Wo have been asked to publish the fol- j lowing letter: — To the Ladies of Zealand,—l am writing to ask you to help a little in something 1 know will interest you all, as almost every lady in the Dominion has sons, brothers, nephews, or cousins in the senior cadets. They will soon be commencing their training for this year, and it seems to me it would help towards getting the very best results from their rille shooting if ladies all over the Dominion woud subscribe anything they like from Is upwards to form a general fund to provide prizes for each district, to lie shot for and called "The Ladies Prize." T would suggest that the Mayoresses or ladies they may depute in each district, which is a centre of a senior cadet company, should kindly undertake to receive subscriptions and collect in that district, giving her name and address in the local paper, so that all mi'jht know to whom to send, and 1 would ask her to forward the amounts as they come in, to me. We would acknowledge them and publish the amounts received, in the papers. It may seem ambitions, but let us try, if our funds will allow, to have a Ladies Prize for every senior cadet company in the Dominion. We. want the New Zealand senior cadets to be second to none all over the Empire, and I am sure this can Vest and soonest be accomplished bv all lad--1 ies joining and showing that they take !a very real practical interest in the young men of the future, who are to be their defenders. My husband, (leneval (lodley, approves very much of this idea of askin" the ladies to encourage their senior cadets, and I trust that mv suggestion may meet with your approval and support. Believe me, yours truly,— 1 LOUISA M. GODLEY.
