WHAT ABOUT THE REGULATIONS?
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l observe in your issue of last night an advertisement purporting to be an order signed by the officer commanding the Dunedin Engineer Corps, calling a parade for to-rnorrowevening, and "cordially inviting" members of other corps to attend. The wording struck mo as being so peculiar that I made inquiries this morning anion" my volunteer acquaintances aa to whether this was the usual manner of oi-doiinj.' a parade, and was astonished to learn that the muster in question was not called for the purposes of drill, but to attend one of the skating rinks. Now, sir, I should like to be informed if this i« done with the permission of the colonel commanding the district (whose sanction is, I believe, necessary before a corps can parade in uniform, except for duty), as I cannot think that that gentleman would be a party to bringing the volunteer force so low as to become the advertising medium for a place of public tntertainment.—l am, etc., Disgusted. Dunedin, June 20.
