Some 13 or 14 of tbe New Zealand eadete who are atteatdin g the Australian "Military College at JDuntroon retnrned to New Zealand to-day for their C_r_tmas holidays. There ate 15 New Zee* lander3 at the college, and 65 Australians, and (with two exceptions) they are. fro_ all accounts, doing excellent work. Of the five failures announced by e—blegram from Melbourne!, two are New 1 Zealandera. It k understood that the failures were mainly in mathematica. A strong westerly wind made the harbour very choppy about noon to-day, and some of the ferry boats were tossed about considerably.

The steamer wa_ brought twice across the end of the wharf before it was possible to stew hex round to the berth allotted. In an Australian court a wltnesss casnmentioned that a certain thing occurred just after he had a °__n__id's blush."
