SECOND EDITION.
OUR EIGHTH CONTINGENT.
THE WORK OF THE RECRUITING BOARD.
NAMES OF WELLINGTON MEN CHOSEN.
The Wellington Recruiting Board Lieutenant - Colonel Collins, Surgeon - Major Collins, and Lieutenant Cyril Morris — has nearly completed its labours in choosing the 172 men allotted to Wellington for the new contingent. Of the 500 and more applicants who appeared before the Board, 452 were sent to take the riding test, and of these 220 subsequently underwent the medical examination. Of the 220, 44 failed to pass the severe medical test. Some were set aside as having defective vision, others because their colour-vision was not perfect, and one man was "green blind." There were those whose hearts were not normal in condition, others with defective hearing, and some had false teeth. The men, generally speaking, were of an intelligent class, but there was one applicant who could not read. Another man, who looked well in his clothes, was condemned for his poor physique when stripped. At least one volunteer officer who sent in a strong recommendation with one of the members of his company is to be asked to explain why he recommended a man who had a serious defect. Varicose veins were a common cause of rejection. It was found that the great majority of the 220 men were Wellington lads who had had open-air experience working in the bush and on stations. The average age of those chosen is between 24 and 25 years, and the average height is 5ft 8in.
Besides the 44 who failed to pass the medical examination, there were a number of other men rejected for various reasons. The result was that the Board has found itself short of the number required. This afternoon a party of applicants appeared before the Board for linal selection.

The Stock Department has had no difficulty in securing the necessary 1000 horses for the new Contingent. The task has already 'been completed,' and Mr. Ritchie informs us that the Department could easily have obtained another thousand, as the office has been inundated with offers. A fine stamp of animal has been bought, the majority having been raised in the North Island. Palmerston North supplied 200 of the remounts. The animals will be sent to Trentham and Addington — 500 to each camp — as soon as the lines are ready for them.
