Addington Camp.
Christchurch, April 14. Five hundred and fifty men of the Tenth Contingent, and details for the contingents in South Africa, are now in the Addington camp. The men are in excellent health, and exceedingly well behaved. There are now 200 horses in the lines, and 189 saddles have been issued. Two squadrons have been mounted and were out for mounted drill today. Firing parties are at the range whenever the weather permits, and the rest of the time is filled in with dismounted drill. The men are being served with boots and blankets in consequence of the recent wet weather, and the full equipment will be served out on Friday, the battalion sailing on Saturday.
