Good Advice to Volunteers.

At a recent gathering of tha Titmru Olty Rifles, Major Orawehaw gave tbe members of the corps and volunteer* generally some excellent advice. In irolueteer work there were, he aid, two chief points an officer had to keep in view. The first was a high standard of efficiency with the rifl.?, and the second, a thorough oommand of the men, so m to make the best use of the shooting ability. It did nob matter b^w well they were able to shoot If the officer oould not control tha Ire, Of course, It applied with equal lores tbe other way, for if they had well disciplined men who oould not use the r fl < they would not be of much uee In tho firing Hub, They could all go oot to South Africa and be trained on tho battle field, but tbey could practice it in their drill. Major Crawahaw also gava volun teers some valuable advice on discipline. > When they put on the uniform, he re minded them, tha man's personality was sunk, and it was the King's uniform th?y had to respeot and obey, even althoogh their officer was not. so good as he might be. '' If the game Is worth playing at all It Is worth playing well, the M-»jor s-dd, ftnd he assured them that if they attended strictly to discipline, the corps would undoubtedly become the crack corps in the battalion.

You can go byrall or boat to any of the3a watering places at a costof from one to three shillings tt am ticket.
