As announced in my last, the Vlunteers went into Camp at Kowloon on Friday last, and during the past week they have been gaining instruction in drill tempered with amusement, and peppered by mosquito bites, that pinging insect being in force on the peninsula, In spite of the last-named drawback, however, the gallant citizen soldiers appear to be having good time, combining business with pleasure, such football inst ches, tugs of war, concerts, recitations, ete., ce. On guest night, the Governor and' Major-General Gascoigne dined with the Commandant and officers. Accommodation has been provided for 330 men and the muster has been fairly strong. Wednesday afternoon was observed as a holiday to enable many who otherwise could not have done so to take part in: the shooting contest. The camp breaks up on Monday, the 29th instant.
