The work generally has been heavy, but the members have accepted all duties pleasantly, and a vast amount of sound, practical information has been obtained. Before dismissing, Captain Madigan thanked the Battery for the support given him, and cheers were given for the captain and offie«i*3. SergtMajor Richardson leaves for Wellington to-day. j NELSON RIFLE CADETS. On Monday evening the Cadets again met for the purpose of electing officers.
