The Jewish Festival of Pentecost will bo celebrated at tho Wellington Syngogue on Woduoeday and Thursday next. _ At the next meeting of the City Council the following niotiofl. notux* of whifk Councillor Hindmarsh has gAwm, will coin» forward :— "That the r«olutk-* carried in tho council on 16th May [that tho request of tho Nelson Beautifying Society for the Bervioeo of the Superintendent of Reserves be not acceded to) bo rescinded." Tw?lvo yotm<j ladies vrifro received into the sodality of tho Children of Mary nt St. Joseph's Church, Buckle•street, last night, the church being crowded to the doors. The Very Rev Father O'Shea, S.M., V.G.. officiated, and the uermon was preached by the Roy. Fathor Barra. The ceremony concluded with a procesison round the church, and the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament pronounced by the Very Rev. Father- O'Shoa-. ' _ The question of allowing horse-train-ing to continue at the Hutl Park wa* before the committee on Friday, but decision Was held over. If the tiutt Valley Trotting Club still declines to do anything further in the suggestion to form a new track, it is likely that the park will be closed altogether for training purposes. It is then possible that some provision would be, made to accommodate the Waiwetu Golf Club. The committee will hold a meeting shortly to consider these matters. The Fire Brigade's motor, which was badly damaged through, a tire coming off as the vehicle was rounding the Caledonian HoCel corner after returning from a call to the hospital, has "been repaired, and is again in commission. At the enquiry held into the accident, it was proved that the brigado u*us not to blame. The tin? which came off \rut 4 not fitting properly, and it has becm veplaced by one which grips the konrint bo securely that it cannot possibly be torn oft". Fireman Barrett, who had liis collarbone broken through being jolU^d against the hose-reel, will be able \o resume duty at an early date. "J.R.P.," writing in reference to v letter signed "Cheshire,"- published in The Post last week, where allumon is made to conditions here of earning a livelihood and making headway us be* ihg no better than at Home, sends a copy of the Paisley Daily Express of the Ist April, containing tho following paragraph :— "A man, his wife, and twelve children were ainonp the cmi grants who lei't Southampton in tho Cunard linor Aaiauia- for Canada. The man ie an agricultural labourer, and hits succeeded in bringing up his large family on a weekly wage of 155." Our correspondent malcas no further commont. The instructional camp for officers of the mounted infantry and artillery and the newly-appointed noncommissioned officers of the permanent staff, set down to be held at JPalmerston North on 7th June, has now been altered to be for the non-commissioned officers alone. The reason for excluding the mounted infantry and artillery officers is the nonarrival of the new mounted infantry drill book, and the necessary guns. The camp will thus be composed of the new non-commissioned officers, but an order has been issued inviting any engineer and infantry officers or non-commissioned officers of the Territorials, who have' not yet attended instructional camps, to be present. Arrangements have been made to provide sufficient instructors. Orchardists will find much food for thought in the latest bulletins on their industry issued by tho Department of Agriculture. Fruit growing at Weraroa Experimental Farm « reported on by Mr. W. A. Boucher, Assistant Director of Orchards, Gardens, and Apiaries, ahd details of the results aro given of apples, pears, nectarines^ plums, peaches, apricois, and cherrioi. The last-named have not proved a success, the humidity of the 6oil and climate proving unfavourable. It is pointed out that trees that may do well in the Weraroa district may not bo suitable for other districts, and vice versa. The Bftme writer deals with cool storage of fruit. It is pointed out that for five months after the New Zealand beacon has closed Tasmania^, Australian, and American growers feed our markets with profit to themselves. "Surely our markete, with the assistance of cool storage, for prolonging tho season, should provide a profitable means of disposing of a surplus of our locallygrown, fruit," Mr. BoMcher concludes. A further step in connection with the Captain Cook memorials to be placed in Ship Cove and Motuara Island has been taken, Mr. Laing-Meason having been instructed to prepare plans and specifications. The columns to be placed on Motuara Island, where Captain Cook first hoisted the Union Jack and took possession of the country for Great ' Britain, will take the form of a hollow pyramid, seventy feet high. It will ,be erected in ferro-concrete, will measure 20ft at the base and 12ft square at the top, and will be so constructed a» to allow access to the top, from where an extensive view of Queen Charlotte Sound will be obtained. A smaller memorial will be placed in Ship Cove, bearing tablets setting forth the dates of the explorer's visits. At least £1000 is required to carry out these wc-rkß, but aa yet the response to the committee's appeals has not been 'very encouraging. The Government has promised a subsidy of pounct for pouhd up to £400, but that buwi has not yet been reached. The committee hope» that the public will shake off he apathy and subscribe the few hundred pounds required. % The Wellington Club celebrate* this year— the golden jubilee of its estabment. The original club was established in 1841 by the first settlers. It had various homes, and was reconstituted in 1862, with Dr. Featherstone, tho then Superintendent of the Province. fcs president, and purchased a site and building on Lambton-quay, whore Messrs. Warnock. Kelly, and Adkin subsequently carried on business for many yoare. That constituted its placo of abode until 1876, when a site on Wellington-terrace was secured and the present building erected. Of the original founders of the new constitution of 1862 tho only survivor is Mr. E. Pearco, who \a now resident in EngloVWhen Dr. Featherntone, tho first preflident. wn« appointed Ajwmt-G^tevftl. he was succeeded by tho lato Mr. Georao Hunter as president, nnd upon his death tho lale Mr, A, do B. Brandon waa elected to fill hi* place. He, in. turn, was succeeded by Mr, E. Penrce, who hold the position until he Jcft New Zealand come years ago. Tho present president is Mr. Martin Chapman, K.C., who presided kt the anniversary dinner on Saturday night. Tho club will celebrate it* jubilee by a ball some timo next month. Travellers by tram or boat can avoid all discomfort by checking th»ir boggago through tho New Zealand Expreos Company. Tek Q2. 2410, 1333, 3058.— Advt.
