Opinions about the Xew Zealand court at the Empire Exhibition differ. An Auckland business man who has seen it writes in praise:—"The ~S.Z. court,'' he says, "is comparatively small, but it displays New Zealand in all its beauty and richness to the careful observer; it is quiet, but good and complete. The exhibit of kauri timber is awe-inspiring to the thoughtful visitor, and it i 3 generally the centre of a crowd." A new clinker racing boat, built by Messrs. J. Edwards and Sons, of Melbourne, to the order of the Tauranga Rowing Club, reached Tauranga yesterday. The boat is a prize presented by Mr. Holt, of Hawke's Bay, and was won in competition by the Tauranga oarsmen against other Bay of Plenty crews. The Board of Governors of the Waitaki Boys' High School yesterday accepted a tender of £11,200 for the erection of the Hall of Memories in connection with the Great War. In respect of the suit Denning v. Millcncr, heard yesterday in the Magistrate's Court, Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Denning wish to state that both of their characters were publicly cleared in Court. A seven-seater taxi-car, owned by Mr. William Jury, was destroyed by fire on the Raglan Road at Whatawhata on Monday. It was covered by a policy in the Yorkshire office. A false fire alarm from the corner of Wood and Rylo Streets was responsible for the calling out of the city and western districts' brigades at 10 o'clock la«t evening.
