Dalgety, and Dr Levinge, and privately subscribed, to provide emergency pocket money for our wounded soldiers in England, has now readied approximately £7OO, of which £650, including £2OO from Wellington, has been remitted Home to Lord Plunket, chairman of executive of the New Zealand Hospital, who has kindly , consented to personally administer it.

before that date. The late Mr F. H. Pyne was very interested in this fund, and acted as treasurer, but any sums entrusted to either of. the above-named will be acknowledged and remitted Home with the balance.
