THE SIXTH CONTINGENT.

»| ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE DEPARrf , / TURE TO-DAY. ' I ARRANGEMENTS ' Captain Reid,; ; , district / TURE TO-DAY. Yestebdat forenoon Captain Reid, district '■ [ adjutant, acting on behalf of the Govern- . I ment, visited the troops at the Domain camp . I and inspected horses, men and kits, in order . I that preparations might be proceeded-,"with '1 for the departure of the contingent to-day. I Shortly before noon the men were marched '' I from the Domain to the City Council Cham- ] l bers—Captain Reid being in command of ' I the parade—where they took part .in the I ceremonial in connection with the procla--1 mation of King Edward VII. The men carI ried themselves in a soldierly manner, and i were much admired by the large assemblage I present at the function. ' I Owing to the uncertainty as to the hour j I of the arrival from Wellington of the troop--1 ship Cornwall, with the Southern companies I of the Sixth Contingent on board, it is diffi--1 cult for the authorities to fix an hour for I the departure from the port en route to j South Africa. Lieutenant-Colonel White, j officer commanding the Auckland district, has, however, arranged that the moment the | vessel is signalled a commencement will db | made with the breaking up of the camp at I the Domain and the embarkation of the I horses. -'-■■'■ , | It is considered,., probable that the CornI wall will reach- the port shortly after one i p.m., and if such proves the case, a section j will bo told off from the Domain to attend to the embarkation of the horses, which*-will | be carried out with all possible despatch, I will told off to get tho vessel away from to the embarkation of the horses, which'-will be carried out with all possible despatch, the desire being to get tho vessel away from | the Railway Wharf, where she will berth, i before darkness sets in. . . " | His Worship the Mayor nas arranged that [ before leaving camp the Auckland members | shall be addressed by Sir Geo. Maurice \ ! O'Rorke, the Hon. Jas. McGowan, Minister [for Mines, and himself , (the Mayor).- The for Mines, and himself (the Mayor). The i men will then be formed up, and between | half-past three and four p.m. will be a marched on foot to the point of embarkation lat the Railway Wharf. If time and other 1 circumstances permit, Lieutenant-Colonel I White will endearvour to arrange with the | officer commanding, Lieutenant-Colonel B Banks, to land the Southern troops in order i that they may march to the Domain and faccompany the Auckland division back to the | troopship. All volunteers of the Auckland 1 Garrison who can obtain the necesmry leai e I are requested to assemble at the Drill Hall, I Wellesley-street, at four p.m., with arms and I accoutrements, to act as a guard of honour Pat the wharf. Nothing, however, will be I done in the way of a demonstration, the mili--1 tary • orders issued in connection with . the 1 death of the Queen having forbidden such, | land all proceedings will be carried tut ; | quietly and without any tendency towards a j I display. , * '...•■•'■ ' : I I . As the Railway Wharf will be barricaded j I off, and as no civilians beyond those of the i I friends of members of the contingent who j | have secured tickets, will bo permitted to I I go on the wharf, Lieutenant-Colonel White ; j has expressed a desire that persons desirous j | of bidding good-bye to the troops should do i | so prior to the men leaving the camp. Even ■ t those who obtain tickets may find the time ! I at their disposal all too limited for leave- j I taking on the wharf, should the troopship be ', 'i late in arriving, as the embarkation will oc- ' I cupy a considerable time, and on this score \ I it is suggested that they should take the jj i precaution of saying good-bye at the camp. '* j In the event of the Cornwall not arriving t I in port until a late hour in the afternoon, 8 I the troops will not be able to embark until jj ' to-morrow. » [ Mrs. Banks, wife of the officer commanding j * the contingent, wishes to acknowledge and 3 I express grateful thanks to all kind friends jj l who contributed to Master W. Carrick's to- S I bacco fund, enabling him to present the S { Auckland boys with three, cases of tobacco 1 I for use during the voyage; also, to Mr. Holt i j for tobacco, Mrs. and Misses Cheeseman for \ 1 50 Crimean caps, and other ladies who Lave 1 I kindly sent caps, housewifes, and literature. I ! THE COMPLETE LIST OF MEMBERS. | f The following is a complete list of the | I troopers of the Sixth Contingent leaving for 1 f South Africa under the command of Lieuten- ] jj ant-Colonel Banks.
