Colonel Stapp haß acknowledged, says the Marton Mercury, the handsome illustrated photographic address presented to him- recently by the Royal Rangitikei Rifles, in tho fol'owing terms:— "The picture arrived in good order, and it was a gr at surprise to me to be the recipient of such a beautiful work of art. When Captain Skerman promised me a photo of the gallant corps, I had not the slightest idea that I should get a picture of such handsome designing. I can assure you that I shall prize it as long as I live, it will be something for my dear ones to revere when I am gone, and they can truthfully say it was given to me as a mark of esteem, and also to ono who for 49 years strove to do his duty. In conclusion, I wish to return my most sincere and grateful thanks to the officers, non-commissioned officers, and members of the Royal Rangitikei Rifle volunteers for their handsome present. I Bha 1 always feel proud of, and take a great interest in the welfare of the corps which I commanded with pleasure for upwards of eight years."
