Government have withdrawn-the £100 promised to the West Coast Encampment for the present. That action settles the proposed Eistsr^Encampment' to be, held here. Conjwderable disgust has been expressed on the matter, as arrangements for camp were in a forward state , and a large gathering was anticipated. j To-day the JEanieri contingent of the ' First Westland Rifles offered their services ip connection .'antb the Te Kooti trouble. They are a fine body of men, their physique being .very striking and, if necessary. Should be well able to stand fatigue by active service.
Mr William Smith, contractor, wh° carried.out our northern harbor works contract some years ago, is here on a visit from Sydney. - :/ - :
