THE SENIOR CADETS

A LADIES' PRIZE. We have received the following appeal from Mrs Godley, wife of General CJodley, which. wo publish with pleasure : —"To the ladies of New Zealand, —I am writing to ask you to help a. little in something which I know will interest you all, as almost every kidy in the Dominion has sons, brothers, nephews, or cousins in the Senior Cadets. They will soon be commencing their training for- this season, and it seems to me it would be a help towards getting the very best results from their rifle if ladies all over the Dominion would subscribe anything they like from Is upwards to form a general fund to provide prizes for each district, to be shot for and called * 'The Ladies' Prize.' I would suggest that the Mayoresses or ladies they inav depute in each district which is a centre of a Senior Cadet Company, should kindly undertake to'receive subscriptions and collect in that di;<4 triet, giving her names and address in ■ the local paper., so that all might know to whom to send, and T would ask her to forward the amounts as they come in to me. We would acknowledge them and'publish the amounts receiv. Ed in the papers. It may seem ambitious, 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 tho Empire, and I am sure this can best and soonest be accomplished by all the ladies joining and showing that they take a very real practical interest in the voung men of the tutttro who are to be their defenders. My husband. General Godley, approves ; ( ;-y much of this idea of asking the ladies to encourage their Senior Cad- , ets and I trust that my suggestion ' may meet with your approval and sup-port-Believe me", yours truly.
