VOLUNTEER CAMPS.
REPORTED MUDDLE. By Telegraph—Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, April 10. Twelve hundred volunteers from Canterbury North and South are in camp at Mount Somers, in the Ashburton county. A muddle occurred in regard to the time of the train starting from Christchurch, and some companies waited on the platform for more than an hour. The engine taking the train from Ashburton to Mount Somers ran short of wacer near Valetta, and had to be filled by buckets with water from an adjacent creek. Much time was lost in consequence. MANOEUVRES IN AUCKLAND. AUCKLAND, April 10. The weather was beautifully fine on Friday, and this gave a good opening for the volunteer manoeuvres, which are being carried out on a large scale at the forts of the harb'our and at Morrinsville.
