MOUNTED RIFLE CAMP.
The Hawera Mounted Rifles, under Captain Morison, Lieuts. A. Muir and T. C. Sutherland, to the number of 35, went into camp on the show ground on Wednesday afternoon for their aaI uusj training of eight days under canvas. The camp is conveniently...<situated, and comprises 15 small bell tents* and a large marquee. '' Mr A. Hunter and Mr W. Robertson have generously offered their properties for field purposes, while the A. and P. Association has given the corps the use of its sheds, etc. In view of the Easter manoeuvres the drill will be principally devoted to field work. A series of lectures on various phases of this and other work will also be given nightly. The routine, roughly, will be as follows: — Reveille, 6.30 a.m. ; parade, 6.45 ; stables, 7.30; breakfast, 8; parade, 9; stables and midday meal, 12; parade, 2 p.m.; tea, stables, tea, etc., 5 p..m; guard mounting, 6 p.m. ; lecture, 7. From the foregoiqg it will be seen that the men will have few leisure moments. Sergt.-Major Dodd, Government staff instructor, is also in attendance. Vet.- . Surgeon Captain Young, of New Plymouth,' is expected to be in camp. It is probable that Colonel Bauchop, commanding the district, will inspect the corps during the week. The camp will be open to visitors on Sunday afternoon. In the morning the corps will attend divine service at St. Mary's Church. The Hawera Rifles and the Borough Band will probably be also present. The Manaia Brass Band have offered to play selections at the camp during | Sunday afternoon. A reporter who visited the camp on Wednesday was informed by the officers that the men were evincing considerable interest in the camp just commenced. They were, he said, very enthusiastic, especially with reference to the forthcoming manoeuvres. Provided the weather be fine a profitable and enjoyable sojourn % under canvas should be spent.
