DUNEDIN, Jilly 26.

For the sixth annua] musical and elocutionary festival, under th© auspices of tlie Dunedin Competitions Society, to bo held in October, the prize money and trophies total £300, or £20 more than last year. The additional competitions added to the list this year are:—Photographic competition (amateurs only); drawing, for school children under twelve years ot age; drawing, for school children over twelve and under fifteen; drawing (open to all amateurs); and shorthand and typewriting (open to all competitors). The local electrical engineering firms have agreed to draw up a Jist showing clearly the difference between electrical appliances and machinery, and to forward the same to the Miniate*. The fourteen workmen's homes first erected on the Vf indie settlement arc now ell occupied. Six other houses— two storeyed ones—have since been erected, but no applications for them hare yet been received. Apparently two-storeyed houses do not go oS so readily as single storeyed ones. The Rev. A. Cameron has received from "A Temuka Farmer" a subscription of £100 for the residential college of the Presbyterian Church of New ,Zealand .
