Tho Governor reviewed the Contingent at Island Bay this morning. About 150 officers and men were piesenl, and a large attendance of spectator. The men were put through various evolutions at the trot, gallop and walk, and finished with a royal salute. They acquitted themselves very creditably, although a number of the horaes were t cry fractions. It is. rather lemaikable that, despite tho news from South Afrko- of the first Contingent substituting bone for brabs buttons, the men of this Contingent are all adoincd with shining brass. It is understood that the Defence Department say they ha\e not had official knowledge of the alteration. At tho conclusion of the parade His Excellency briefly addressed the men, and told them how their brotheis in South Africa had distinguished themselves, and coidially hoped they would bo able to do something to make tliemsehea heard of in the annals of tlicu country. Three cheers weie then given for the New 'Zealanders m South Africa, and the men then hied off to camp. AN "ABSENT-MINDED" BUGLER.
