RETURNED TROOPERS.
WELLINGTON, August 6.
Trooper LINDSAY, of the Fifth Contingent, was last night entertained by the vestry, choir, and Sunday school of St Saviour’s Church, West Lyttelton, with which Trooper LINDSAY was connected before he left for South Africa. The gathering, which was well-attended, took place in the old Orphanage School, and the Rev E.E. Chambers, the vicar, presided. After an impromptu programme of music, etc., had been given, the vicar, presented Trooper LINDSAY with a gold Maltese cross, suitably inscribed, and welcomed him back, expressing a hope that the habits of discipline and self-restraint the trooper had acquired in the army would be practiced by him in his after-life. Trooper LINDSAY shortly replied, and, refreshments were handed round.
