OUR MUTTON AT HOME.

I United Press Association — By Electric Telegraph. Wellington, August 8 Mr H. C. CameroD, ln»poutor of Produce for New Ziahintl, writing 10 the Agent- General on Ist July, said he was disappointed on a recent visit to Bitmingham to fiud there •was not a really high class *hop where New Ztjaand mutton was sola, or wheie cus tomers deßirous of testing it could have a guarantee that they w<uld obiaiu it. He also complained that butchers were selling Rivor Plate mutton as Canterbury mutton, and one batcher told him he sold all f.ozen mutton as Canterbury, tlut beiig the re cognised name in the retail trade for all except very inferior qualities. Mr Cameron goes on to say that buyers having heard by reputa of the excellence of New Zealand "Canterbury " mutton ate possibly inclined to try its merits on their .oun tab e, but when they have made their r-ui chase of ?o oilled ••Canterbury," and cooked and tested it, their inclination to c n-imie its u?e is in all probability checked by the inferiority of the article that ha? been uppiad to them. In this manner the introduction of New Zealand mutton to the better passes is re tarded, and const quently it is no wonder that when increasing supplies come forward there is no sufficient market to absorb it.

RIFLE CLUBS.

United Preßs ABaociation— By Eleotrio Telegraph, Wellington, August 8 A deputation waited on the Minister for defence and the Commandant ot the forces, to-day, and asked if Government could give Rifla Clubs some recognition as an arm of the defence of the colony. What they wanted was recognition by the Government, and weapons at the lowest price the depart - tnent could supply them, and ammunition on the same terms. No capitation grant was asked f r. Colonel Penton said his idea was that rifle clubs must come uuder some military training and discipline. It would simply mean disaster to take in untrained men »a part of the defenco in a time of emergency. Aa c'.ubß at present existed they were of no benefit (o Government at all. Members of cluhs took up rifle shooting for their own pleasure, and did nothing at all for the State. In fact they injured volunteers by preventing men from joining who would otherwise do bo. If Government was going to recognise them, let it make them a real militirv reserve— that was to Bay, let them serve five y?ars as voluuteers before they joined the rifl ; clubs, and then turn out once a quarter for drill. In such cases clubs Bhouid be granted a certain amount of ammunition free. Thia would give a reliable reserve. The Minister for Defence suggested that the rifle clubs of the colony shoul 1 draw up definite proposals and submit them to the Governmeot.
