THE GOVERNOR'S OPINION.
Lord Ranfurly, in replying to his feealth at Christchurch, said New Zea-' -± land was loyal from one end to the other-i^ From what he. had seen in the far soutl^^ bnd in other parts of the colony, he was satisfied that should another call be made there would be no difficulty in getting men. The difficulty would be in making a selection.. New Zealand had done' great things in sending mounted men, who were greatly wanted, and very ■■' valuable, and it was a pity the colony ■£• labored under the disadvantage of being -~, only able to send away small contingents at a time of want, Hejhad been pletMd -k M
erepeeted to see the raw material which so lately came into training brought t° uch a state of efficiency. He did not wish to draw comparisons with previous contingents but he was sure that the riding of the present contingent was better than their predecessors, while the hojses, he believed, would be the best in S<4p Africa.
