Iv presenting the Waihi rooster to the Dannevirke Rifles,, Captain W. H. Shepherd said it was a trophy valued very highly by the Auckland volunteers on account of the history attaching to it. Several years ago rivalry existed between the Ohinemuri Rifles and the Victoria Rifles. Each considered they could put the better rifle team in the field. About the year 1901, ihe Victorias paid a visit to. Waihi to compete with the Ohinemuris. The latter were so confident of victory that Sergeant Jas. Parslow had a rooster made out of tin, and stuck on the flagpole. But the Victorias beat their opponents, aud Captain Cox demanded the rooster as a trophy. This was refused. But the bird mysteriously disappeared from the flagpole, and later it was discovered in the Victoria Rifles' room. It was given a coat of paint, and constituted n, trophy to be competed for, aud Sergoaut Parslow and his team had the satisfaction of taking it back to Waihi the following year. Since theu the bird has made tho, round of several districts.
