HIGH SCHOOL CAMP

The programme at the Tail un a Park camp yesterday morning included outpost and advanced guard work as a drill. Major D. B. Shand gave a lcoture on these subjects as a preliminary to the operations. In the afternoon a field operation was carried out on the country adjacent to Lawyers' Head. A and B Companies, with their headquarters at Tahuna, formed tho advance guard to the battalion. In moving along the ro:id to Tomahawk they encountered opposition, consisting of O Company on the ridge north of Lawyers' Head, and an exciting engagement followed.

In tho evening a picture show, operated by Cadet M'George, was followed by a concert by the Old Boys' Musical Club. The president, Mr Mallard, brought a talented party. including Messre Strong, M'Connell, and Dcaker. The meeting of the old and present cadets was marked by the greatest enthusiasm, and a fine concert concluded the camp entertainments. This morning the camp will break up, and tho Cadet Battalion will march' through Princes street about 11 o'clock.
