Mr Holmes was- deputed to arrange for a of ammunition, and a meeting will- be held on Wednesday, ' June 2, to arrange dates for shooting, etc., when it is hoped that all in- ; terested will attend, as it is the intention to form a company of the National I Reserve at Noimanby. A little drill would do no man any harm, and should by any chance the German fleet escape the vigilance of Admiral Jellicoe in the North Saa, and again roam the ocean, and some part of it should find its way to the Dominion, then the National Reserve would be called on to assist in defending our hearths and homes. All able-bodied men can join, so all are invited to prepare to do their duty to King and country. | BELGIAN RELIEF FUND. secretary (Miss Olive Rowe** of the late Belgian ball has handed Wthe treasurer the handsome sum of £18 4s 3d being the net proceeds of the ball and £5 given by Mr W.
