Patriotic Fund Committee had voted tlio Association £20, to be used for tlw objects for which the fund was now applied. With reference to the proposal to form a Reserve Corps, the Cnairman stated that he had written to the Defence Council on the subject, and had received a reply that the regulation* did. not contemplate the formation of a reserve corps outside the volunteer forces, but ex-contingenters. if up to the minimum of thirty, might bo accepted as an exception. Horse hire could not reasonably be allowed, for dismounted work was all that was required, for capitation.
