The Easter encampment began at Jolmstouville last night with glorious weather. The Wellington, the East Const and West Coast battalions, amounting altogether to 900 men, were present. The physique of the mounted men is generally admired. The day was spent in drill and outpo3t duty. A sham fight will probably be held to-morrow. The Land Board carried a resolution that an applicant successful in one ballot will not be permitted in other ballots, meaning that a person should only get one section. General Booth left for Auckland this morning.
