DEFENCE MATTERS.
THE NEW MOUNTAIN BATTERY.
, It is thought probable that the new guns for the mountain battery will be here by the beginning of .the New Year. The new unit will be converted from the existing D Battery, and consequently there will be ho field artillery battery in Wellington. The moun-tain-gun establishment will be under the coast defence section for training • and administration, but until the new arm does arrive the' men' will continue to drill as before. Many of the men who were in the corps before theintroduction of the new Territorial , scheme have stayed on, and this necessarily will, do much to help the quick training of recruits lately posted. *
