VERY FINE TROOPS
THIRTI'-THIRD REINFORCEMENTS . The Thirty-third Reinforcements, which are now the senior draft in camp, have won high praise in both camps during their period of training. They are regarded as a_ steady and capable body of troops, while their physical condition is just about perfect. Tho Thirty-thirds may be said to have crystallised the good impressions they had created when they paraded for inspection by His Excellency the Gover-nor-General. No more pleasing parade has been witnessed at the camp; the men looked soldierly and smart in their serviceable uniforms. In tho opinion of those qualified to judge their turnout was considered remarkably good, reflecting great credit on the platoon and company commanders, as well aa upon the men themselves. His Excellency first inspected them in mass, and afterwards stood at the Baluting__base and took the salute as tho troops marched past in column of platoons. Their appearance and bearing were conclusive testimony that the quality of the troops going from New Zealand shows no indication of falling off.
