Volunteering Notes.
(By Telegraph.) WELLINGTON, May 28. Since the present Government took office the number of Volunteer companies in the metropolitan districts of Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago, have decreased by twelve, but there has been a satisfactory increase in the number of men enrolled ; and the total number of Volunteers in those districts is now larger than last year. The Government have forwarded instructions to the Agent-General to secure 500 Martini-Henri rifles for use at the New Zealand Rifle Association meeting at Dunedin. It is understood that the Government intend to increase the capitation to Volunteers.
