LANDOWNERS DEFENDED.

WAIRARAPA'S INTENTIONS. [by telegraph.—own correspondent.] .. Wellington, Friday. At a meeting of the Patriotic Society here this evening, Mr. G. R. Sykes, M.P. for Masterton, remarked that it had been said that the landowners did not do their share in the present crisis. As far as Wairarapa was concerned, be said, tho district was not only giving freely of its men, but freely of its wealth. On Thursday evening a flag had been sold f.here for £7000, and on Wednesday next another flag would be sold for a still greater sum. The final purchaser would pay 3000 guineas for the trophy. The Wairarapa, ho said, intended raising £40,000 in its present canvass.
