FRONTIERSMEN LEGION
THE ANNUAL MEETING fPBB United Press Association.] WELLINGTON. June 25. The annual conference or the Legion of Frontiersmen is being held to-day. The commandant, Colonel Vickridge, in his report, said that no fewer than 100 new members were admitted during the year. He also spoke of having had an interview with the Governor-General who was taking a personal interest in the legion. The formation of a unit in the south, he said, was discussed, and he hoped that before long they would have the legion well established there. Captain D’Esterre had asked him to accept his resignation from the position of commissioner, and had asked him to nominate Colonel Weston in his place. The work of Captain D’Esterre would live long after him, as one of the founders of the legion in New Zealand, and for the great service he had rendered since.
The annual report and balance-sheet were adopted.
