He says : “According to reports we shall not be here any longer than three months. (The letter is dated 16th July). There is a rumour going round that only the mounted men anil a small garrison at the wireless station will be required. The mounted men are needed more than the infantry. We reckon to arrive at Wellington in the second or third week in October, when I am told some of us may have the chance of going to the front.” On the 14th Alarsh last, whilst coming on to the Taradale road from the Rcskilda gardens, a Alaxwell motor car, driven by taxidriver James Constable, was struck by another ear, which it is-alleged, was being driven along the right hand side of the road by Leslie Player, the result being that the radiator of the former car was damaged beyond repair. The left, hand lamp was also carried away. A sequel to this was heard at the X’apier Court this morning, when Constable sued Player for £26 4 - damages to the car.
