(From Our Special Correspondents.) BANKS PENINSULA. Members of the C.Y.C. to the number of 79 went into camp at Barry's Bay on Saturday last, under command of Captain T. Overton, with Lieutenants T.- Masefield, J. Coe, and MacMillan. The camp has been pitched in a paddock belonging to Mr R. Latter near the main road to Akaroa. Two accidents happened to members of the squadron. Lieutenant Coe and Trooper Anderson were kicked by horses, but in neither ease were they seriously hurt, and they will be about again shortly. It was expected that Colonel Heaton Rhodes and Colonel Chaffey would visit the camp next Saturday or Sunday afternoon. The vicar of the parish, the Rev. A. 11. I Julius, held divine service at the camp, ! and the collection taken up for the Poor ! of Great Britain, Ireland, and Belgium \ Belief Fund amounted to £7 7/-.
