VERY FINE TROOPS.

THIRTY-THIRD REINFORCEMENTS Tho Thirty-third Reinforcements, which are now tho senior draft in camp, hare won high praise in both camps during their period of training. They arc regarded as a steady and capable body of troops, while their physical condition is just about perfect. The Thirty-thirds may be said to have crystallised the good impressions they had created when they paraded for inspection by His Excellency the Governor-General. No more pleasing parade has been witnessed at tho camp; the men looked soldierly and smart in their serviceable uniforms.' In the opinion of those qualified to judge their turnout was considered remarkably good, reflecting great credit on tho platoon and company commanders, as well as upon the men themselves. His Excellency first inspected them in mass, and afterwards stood at the saluting base and took tho salute as tho troops marched past in column of platoons. Their appearance and bearing were conclusive testimony that tho quality of the troops going from Now Zealand shows no indication of falling off.
