February 111: "Wμ understand j that the dire-tors of the Auckland Kief- .' trie Tramways Company have issued a' circular offering !M) per cent in cash for j the debentures, with a view to their' extinction. In July, 1 Mli>. the tramways j owned liv this company were taken over j by the Corporation nf'tlic City of Au.-k- j hind, which we believe are being mar-' keted in New Zealand.

The mpdi- ! ral requirements in an application for a j ; pilot's ccrtilicaTe are most exact, with | provision for frequent re-exan.ination, '; and the regulations concerning aircraft . used to <*arry passenger? are naturally j very strict. j At the meeting of the executive committee of the Wellington Cricket As- i sooation il was decided to ask the' Defence authorities to so arrange the daylight parade- f<>r senior cadet- and territorials thai sport- tiuures would : not be interfered with. It was pointed out that some time ago the p.irades ■ were held between the cricket and football seasons, but the regulation- were ! sub-oquer.tly altered, and through member- of teams ha\ing to attend daylight parades the finals for elumpion--hlp- had been interfered with In that dubs were unable to put their full , strength in the field.

An incident of an unusual nature occurred yesterday afternoon in I'arnoll, which shows what may happen even with a horseless vehicle. The driver of a car alighted at the top of St. Stephen's Avenue to use the slot 'phone. Cpon coming out of tlie box. lie was astonished by the fact that his car was missing. , Examination showed tlie car further *down the rond. It had travelled down the slope, which is smooth concrete, for several hundred yards, and crashed into the verandah posts of a dress making establishment. The radiator and from, 'portions of the car were damaged, and the verandah was brought down. Tlie condition of the copper market in 'the Cnited States may be gathered from 'the fact that the stock in hand i- estimated nt 800 miilion pounds.

About thirty officers will take part in a three-day=' staff ride for territorials which begins at Ngaruawahia next Saturday. J.ieutenai!t-Colonel J. F.

A verdict of ".suicide during tempor- | ary insanity" was returned at an inquest lat Lambeth iKng.) on l-'ebruary 9 on I Daniel Downea a ret red New Zea- ! land ffirmor. who was found d ow:i-"d iin the.

A <rood story comes from the North about a pushing land agent who had a ! prospective buyer of some gum land, land assured the latter that the land had ;\ carrying r-apacitv of two sheep to th# acre. The farmer was not satisfied with the agents aseurnnee and said he would .like to se<- the place. After inspection, ■the agent, asked him if he was not now 'satisfied that the land was a' pood a< he described it. "Well." he said, "I've ■heard what you have said, and I've seen i the. land, but before I decide I would like 'to hear the evidence of the two sheep."' • An anion for damages was brought l> v a mother-in-law against her daughter's hiieband before Mr. \V.
