There is a:proposal afoot, emanating it is said from General Melvill, to revive and enlarge upon • the military ;~displaj's that were given by the Territorials of New Zealand some years ago, but were .disconti&U'ed before "tlie " war. The idea, so far as it is understood, is that the Territorials shall every vear have a tournament-in each of the, four centres, the programme being made up of bridge-building, field, exercises. onet fightipg, tept pitching, and so onj, and .that-fin order -to 'attract the".public a military" pageaiit be also provided on an 'elaborate scale.. The proceeds' are to be applTeS-in' : the general interests of the Territorials and the Cadets, such as the upkeep. of bands, the providing of.sdmething more than bare ratiqns in camps, and so-fpirth. At present the matter is -only in ' the enquiry stage, but it is approved of by men who if they take-up the scheme, will see it through.
