The. men are: C. lVterson, 11. ftusling, C. lieid. I). Pegg, G. Xieholls, S. Hopson and T. Peaking.

Boldt, in a short speech, asked those present to drink the health of "The boys for tha front," which wan done with musical honors and hearty cheers. Mr. T. K. Hamcrton also addressed those who were going to the front, and in bidding them farewell and God fpeed, asked them to remember that they were from Taranaki, and if they kept up the reputation and traditions of the early settlers they would not go far wrong, even under modern war conditions.
