Amongst the latest to be accepted for the front are Messrs. C. Bate (sic) and L. Langley, who were both apprenticed at the Queen's Park gardens, under Mr. John Oliver, the curator. Both are good workmen, and their places will be hard to fill. Still they have done the right thing to come to their country's aid. Applications are now called for lads to take their places.
