GISBORNE'S RESPONSE.

INFANTRY SECTION LEAVING TO-NIGHT.

The local Defence authorities have had I , no difficulty in obtaining sufficient men! 'j to make up the number of reinforce- 1 ments required from Gisborne. In fact, their difficulty has been in the opposite direction. There are so many men offering, all of splendid physique, that the ] officers have had difficulty in making their selections. To-night 54 infantry will leave for ( South. These men fall in at the Garrison Hall at 6.30, and any not there at that hour will be replaced, as there are < plenty of others waiting to go. Headed by the City Band the men will march to : the wharf and go on board the Tuatea. j and the Mayor will say a few words of ' farewell to them on behalf of the citizens, j The names of this draft are as follows: , Timothy O'Connor, Gisborne.
