Sergeant Bowden stated the woman was still under medical care. A sweet seasonable gift was laid upon our editorial table this morning by Mr F. Towler, in the form of a number, of "Rosie" apples. The special feature about this apple, which makes luscious eating, was that it was grown from a pip, and the tree has been a heavy bearer these nine or ten years. Speaking at tho presentation func- ] tion on Tuesday night, Mr Percy Price said he would like to emphasise the liberal treatment accorded not only to himself but to all theatrical enterprises by the Feilding Stak. There was not town in New Zealand, lie said, where- entertainments re- | ceived better financiol consideration or greater help in tho reading columns. Sir Joseph Wa.rd, in apologising to the officers of the Treasury Department for his failure to meet them on a previous afternoon, as had been arranged, explained that he had been playing golf, for the first time in thirteen years. Having started the game, ho played on, and became so absorbed that he totally forgot all about the Treasury and everything else in Wellington. Mr W. J.
