The secretary of the Wellington Copper Trail challenge informs the local Red Cross sub-centre of the progress of the trail up to July 8, when the relative positions .were: —Auckland to Te Awamutu, 100 miles; Wellington to Paraparamu, 35 miles- It now behoves our fighting party to make strenuous efforts to pull up this difference, so that when the next weekly report is made a decided spurt on the part of our military district (Wellington) may be announced. The Red Cross Mart will, on Saturday, be under the management of Section A of the committee. Gifts of vegetables, fniit and flowers, home-made bread and cakes, eggs, honey, butter, cooked meats, etc., etc., all gratefully received.
