The Third Contingent.

Christchttrch, January 20

One hundred and fifty-two applications for enrolment m the Canterbury troop have been received m three days. It is considered that there are sufficient funds already avail able to equip sixty men. It is eiuggested that small centres favoring more men, bur which have insufficient funds to equip troops, might forward what funds are available to tha Canterbury War Committee, to be expended m adding to the troops wbio'i &t now being enrolled.

War Items.

According to an Otago paper, the wife of ( Mr Steyn, PreEident of the Orange Free' State, is a eiater to the Rev. Mr McKerrow. of Taieri. The anchor liner City of Rome has been chartered by the Government for a hospital ship m South African water?. At the beginning of the war the Transvaal Exeoutive released all the burgher prisoner! tinder sentence of one year. Other pri aoners similarly sentenced were put over thi border. The Lee-Metford majynz:ne rifl.-?,, which weapon is üßed by the British infantry, ia sighted up to 2800 yds, the bullet, leaving the rnnzze with a velocity of 2000 ft a second. Amongst the brave women who have attached themselves; to the Red Gross Society for the purpose of underfahiog hospital work m South Africa are a niece and sister. ia-law of Mr Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary. The Boers m Gr'qualand West and Bri tish Beohuanaland tay that Badeu-Powelt and his men are demons, and that is why the Boers cannot take M«fakiri£ A Pretoria telegram to the Diggers' News of the 21«t nit, states that the health of the British prisoners ia all that can be desired. Not a single case of scutvy has broken out among them, The force which attacked the armoured j train at Frere was undtr General Louis Botha and Commandant David Joubert. General Joubert also j lined m the fight, aocording to a telegram from the JLadyemith Laftger to a Boer paper. Ihtt Ve'kstein says that ib has heard inch a lot of the alleged atrocities of the British officers and men that the letter of thanks from colonel Schiel and Captain Dj Witt Hamer, thanking the British for their kind treatment, does it good. An ordinary private carries 100 rounds of ammunition. Just before going into action, « however, if it is expected the tight will be & heavy cue, eaoh private has another fifty rounds nerved out to him from the battalion reserve store of seventy-five rounds per man. After the battle of Elands Laagte m>ny of onr soldiers captured hories whose mas ters had been killed m the fight-. These they sold for sums varying from 5s to £1, while it is reported that a Highlander actually sold hia priza for a cigarette. Estcourt is a town 146 miles from Durban and forty-three miles from Ladytmith. The e'iinnate of Ksloourt is considered the finest m Nats', being very dry, invigorating, and free from dust. It is the seat of magistracy for Weenen County, m which it is situated. The Regular British Army numbers 172,410 men sod 8103 officers. For the sup port, of this fighting force Parliament voted, m 1898-99, £22,359,593 Ib is estimated that each person m the United Kingdom pays on an average 9i a year for military protection. Colonel Templer, of the Royal Engineers, bis invented a steam plough, which is con structed to form a 4ft entrenchment at the rate of three miles an hour. The plough is attached to an ordinary traction engine, and is intended to sava our soldiers from the deadly peril of digging BheUer trenches under fire. Two of the machines are already oil the way out to the Cape, under the super vision < f Colonel Tf mpler. Magersfontei* 1, near Kimbertay, the scene of the late great battle, ia the beautiful estate of Mr John BiHSPfc. Perhaps the finest shooting m South Africa is to be obtained on the estate. Mr Bisset is a very enterprising aid successful ostrich and etock farmer, and anticipating troublous events, recently removed alt his stock to itfer quar ters m Kimberley* A portion of his home s'esd is situated within the Free State bor der, the remainder being m colonial territory, the border line running through the building. Many of the American newspapers pay high tribute to the bravery of the Brit ish officers and men engaged m the Transvaal campaign. The Washington/Waays :" We take a fraternal pride m the personal gal lantry of the British army, and especially m the almost fantastic daring of the British ofßhera, who are to-day repeating the ex ploits of English chivalry—the finest m the world—of centuries ago. No race has ever produced their equals m the fearlessness and splendour of their bravery." •• A Country Girl and One Ready ro Go" writes to the Sydney Telegraph :—" I think m justice to our country and our git Is and women that a few of our girls should be let go to the war as nurse*. Our boys ace sent to fight and to gain honours for thtrmetvea, and why not our girls allowed the same privileges ? We, as Britishers, ought to have the same ohanoes as other country girls have to gain those honours for ourselves, and to show that there is a little of the true old British blood ia our veins, as well as m our men, I hope the Government will let a few of ua go." The correspondent of the Age, with the Victorian contingent, noticing the arrival of the Australians at Capetown, suys : — There was one thing, however, Colonel Hoad could not do—-he could not iqueeze men into jackets several si^es too small for them. It was a curious evidence of the better physique of the Australians that, especially m the cass of the West Australian company, Dot wore than 38 per cent, of them could get into the slop jickets made to standard for British troops. The same difficulty botherf d other colonies which re quired a change of clothes, so they got aa much kbarki as would fit; they cut np the back «ud sewed m a piece where it would not fit, and when there was no more kharkii to bs got they tore off or painted their facings, The Johannesburg correspondent of the Qohgne Qasetlf states that the German volunteer corps which Colonel Schiel led consisted for the most part of men who, having ceased to be German subjects, were oompelled by the law of the Transvaal to take up arms. The oorreapondsnt regrets that these Germans, instead of simply join ing a Boer oommando, chose to snake a demonstration against England by forming a separate corps. Tha official declaration of the German Consulate that it was the doty of all German subjects to reman strictly neutral m the war, otherwise they would forfeit all claim to Consular proteo tion, was published too late. If it had been issued before tha declaration of war, it woold have restrained many of the German residents from taking up anna against Eng land | bet instead of this, it was not pub lished until October 13, when Colonel Sohiere corps had already crossed the Natal border. The correspondent of the Rhenish organ goes on to say that much indignation has been excited among the loyal section of the German residents by the telegram which Colonel Sohiel and Dr Mangold sent to the Emperor m the name of the German oorpa.

THE IMPERIAL LIGHT HORSE.

We give the following particular* respect. ing th|j corps, which fought bravely at Elands Laagte, and which is now prominent m the defence of Ladygmith. At Elands Laagte, although not all the corps of 500 were engaged, they lost their splendid oolonel (Cofonel S^ott Chisholme), and seven men killed and nine officers, and thirty-four men wounded—a total of fifty-sne. The corps is essentially the Johannesburg Refoi mer»' Corps, having been raised, mounted, and fully equipped, and handed over to the Imperial Government, fit for active service, by Messrs Wooli-Sampson and Karri Davies and their friends. There is a strange—a weird—trace of Nemssis m the light at Elands Laagt* m that, m the first fight m which tb,e Beformers got their chance, there should fall before them, killed or wounded, General Koch, who, as a member of tl»e Executive, betrayed them m ihe negotiations of January lat, 1896, and arranged the mock trial and death sentence ; Dr Ooster, who prosecuted them ; Captain Schiel, who was Superinten dent of Prisons, while they were m gaol; and Ojmmandanfc Ben Viljoen, who represented Johannesburg m the Tolkeraad, and persie tQQtly s»dvoo»6od th»c the Reformers, should

ke ahob without form of trial, as rebels; and who waa most largely responsible for the Boer order, thab m the case of the Johan nesburg men no quarter must be given, "Dd no prisoners taken. They have had their fight and have taken, as one oon fi 'ently expected, a soldier's revenge, if one may judge by the 'xperience of one Reformer — Colonel Frank Rhodee—«ho was able to give his bed and Wa-kets to the wounded Boer, General Koch, on the night of the battle.

Excursion Fbom Kaiapof.—-An excursion from Kaiapoi of the workers at the woollen factory, which included also those from the branch at Christchurch, arrived by a train | shortly after ten o'clock this morning, There were about 500 persons on the train, all m holiday garmentur-% but unfortunately the weather was the reverse of smiling. A drizz'.inat rain was falling when the ex cursionists arrived, and heavy rain daring the night had put all thoughts of the Domain as a sports ground out of the question. Messrs Bullock and Thomas, however, placed the Arcade and the new auction hall j at the disposal of the visitors, and a plentiful supply of hoi-, water being available from a huge "billy " m the Arcade, the troops of young ladies with their es ortn, who formed the chief elements of the train load, soon made themselves at home. Tables were extemporised everywhere, and within half an hour after the arrival of the train the Arcade looked like a great pic-nic. Soon the gathering was dispersed, and the excursion ists spread themselves about the town, m the hope that the weather, whioh faired up sufficiently to give a hope of sunshine, would fuifil its promise. To some extent 'his w»s done, and a sports meeting was held m the Domain, where a number of events were got eff, and the excursionists after all had a fair amount) of enjoyment out of their day's outing. The train carrying the excursionists leaves again this evening about six o'clock It Ii Perfectly lt«llal»l«i 11 We have sold many different cough remedies, bub none ins given better oatis faotion than Chamberlain's," says Mr Charles Holzhauer, Druggist, Newark, N.
