Times),the opinion being expressed generally that it was evidently Sir Joseph Ward's intention to send a team for the next meeting, not next year. Colonel Colliils set all doubts at rest when asked to explain the matter. He said the team would-be sentiti 1912—not this year. No doubt the .'marksmen: will be iselected' on the form shown at tho next meting.
