VOLUNTEER'S COLUMN.

We hear that the City Guards have again challenged the Scottish Company to a friendly Rifle Match. It will he remembered that on the occasion of the last contest, the latter corps were the victors. A match recently took place at the Kaikorai Butts, between the Officers and noncommissioned Officers of the Artillery Regiment v. a like number of Gunners, resulting two points in favor of the latter. A return match takes place next Saturday morning at 6 o’clock, when the officers expect to retrieve their lost laurels. The score will appear in our issue of that day. We understand that, notwithstanding the continuous ill luck of the Artillery in its late matches, that the corps is willing to accept a challenge from any ten in the Province. The united Volunteer Corps of Dunedin have engaged Vauxhall Gardens for Boxing Day, when a grand jFete and Assaut d'armes will take place in aid of the Brigade Band Fund. The Canterbury Volunteers are about holding another encampment a la Aldershott and the Werribee. Cannot Otago muster enough for a similar experience of camp life ? The Light Horse will turn out tomorrow for a general parade on the Ocean Beach. [The Editor will he obliged hy Officers and Secretaries of all Volunteer Corps supplying him with any items of information interesting to Volunteers, such as the Scores of Matches, dec. All communications received before two o'clock p.m. will be. inserted the same evening .]
