[from our own correspondent.] June 12, 1900. Last evening we had no fewer than three separate corps being drilled — the Dunevirke Kifles in the Parish Hall, the Huia Ladies' Contingent (n Walker's Hall, and the Kuahine Mounted Kifles in the Town Hall. In addition to these a Boys' Khaki Contingent, to take part in the peace demonstration, has been formed, and js in process of being drilled by Sergeant Duley, of the Rifles.

Several changes are (n contemplation in the management of the Danevjrke Co r operative Association, and the chairmanship has now been assumed by Mr W. P. Knight, the Hon. W. C. Smith having resigned in his favor.
