Volunteer Notices. JJ I S Tfi IC T ORDERS. BY COLONEL W. C. LYON, COMMANDING AUCKLAND DISTRICT. Militia and Volunteer Office, Auckland, 21st August. ISSS. The following remarks by the Hod. < oionel S'r George Whltmore K.C.M.0., on the insp c'i' a trade by him • f the Auckland Oa rison, are published (or information, and the Oft) er commanding the D'st let, while feeling grat fled at the complimentary t- nor of them, mutt express his hnpes that the conomend-tiors Of til* Colonel commanding will but act as an Incentive to the Volnnt-ers of the di«t let to at aia a itlll higher state of military eßlceoc , so that in the mm osuvras to take place in November be may continue to feel the same pride which he now does in hi* command. " On the completion of his inspection of the Auckland G*rrl-on and Honorary Corps, the Colonel <omlnaQ'ling the Force' fee's that It is O'djr ju»t to them that he should express his gre<t satisfaction at finding that so great a progress has been achieved by them In rendering themselves efficient. Although p«rh ps owing to the shortness of notice a couside'»ble number, 16 per cent. < f the G«rri»on Corps, were absent from the Saturday's inspection, the appearance of the men and their general a artners was most satisfactory, and the rapid i>rogr»S9 and good attendance of the Honorary Corps on Wednesday was all th could be des red, and ei t ecUlly deserves recognition. "The Colonel desires to draw the attent'on of the V lunteer Force to the importance of regular attendance. at all events on all spa ial parades and reviews. It is usually considered to b* the weakness of 'he Volunteer system that attendance can only be relied on in the case of the very best cops and therefore attendance Is held to be a principal test of efficiency. Under these circumstances < ommandlnsr Officers should impress on their men the necessity of being in the ranks on parade on all practicable occasi n«. Though the Force has not yet had Buffi lent practice In Battalion Drill to Justify any ntitlcmm of their movements at the late inspection. Sir George Whitmore feels convimed, from 'he manner In which the Companies acqdt'ed themselves, that in a very short time two excellent Battalions will be available in Auckl nd. The m» nrr in which the men have devoted their <ime and means to loam their duties and provide themselves with uniforms <s deserving of the highest pra'se. nd the Colonel wll i.ot fail to report to Hi« Kxcellency the Comma der-ia-Chief how fine a Volunteer Kerne the colony possesses In tt<is city. In November the Colonel trusts to find that the whole Force may have bad the opp< rtunlty of acquiring some knowledge of Batta ion Drill, and that upon that occasion 'he men will, by turning nut as their father* did in 1862 and 18t53, show the colony upon wh tt force It can rely lor the defence of Auckland in case of atU ;k." By order. T. VI RET SHEPHERD, Mujor, Adjutant Auckland District. G- z tte in Pa kruptcy. J N BANKRUPTCY. IN THE COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, HOLDEN AT AUCKLAND.
