NEWS OF THE DAY.

Our enterprising contemporary, "The YVeoklv Press," evidently attaches considerable imnortance to the recent development of tho dairying industry in the Ashburton district, for it gives a series of illustration of the opening ol the Ashburton Dairy Factory, as well as some interesting notes, by its wellknown contributor, "W.W.D., ' on tne event, and what it implies. Of great value to stockbreeders are the pictures from the Argentine Centenary Exhibition, at Buenos 'Ayres, brought home with him by Mr J. E. Davenport, and now engraved by "The Weekly Press Tho quality of the stock is remarkable, but even more so is the substantial and beautiful architecture of the buildings in which it is stalled aud displayed, and of the stands from winch tho narade is viewed. Oklahoma s •Better Wheat Train"' is another illustration of .special import to our producers. Ladies' Day at the Christchurch Bowling Club is a great event in our bowling world, and Saturday's gathering, which was distinguished by the presence of some Wellington visitors, has furnished''The Weekly Press with some very attractive scenes and snapshots. The revolutions of fortune's Wheel do not often provide a more interesting picture than that which shows Knig'M.'-nuel, of Portugal, leaving ills kingdom after the shells from his warships had come crashing through his palaco walls. No midnight flitting or secrecy, but broad daylight and hundreds of spectators! We have noted but a few of the varied subjects represented in the illustrated pages. Among the literary contents we note -'Some Recollections of Japan," by "Tabri," "An Hour in Prison in the Argentine," by J. E. Davenport, "Eleven Years Ago: Botha Now and Then," by R. W\ Reid, and 'Sovereign, a Good Horse," a capital story of Xew Zealand adventure, ,by Robert T. Chatlield.

It is understood that several members of Parliament intend to bo present at the Coronation festivities, whether an official invitation is received by rhe Government or not. Over a dozen are likely to make the trip.

The. camp orders of tho First Battalion Canterbury Infantry Brigade contain thc following clause: —As any great noise will travel upwards, all ranks must he as quiet as possible in camp in order not to create any discomfort to residents on tho hills."

On Saturday next, which is Ambulance Saturday, that praiseworthy institution thc St. John Ambulance Association will make its annual appeal to the citizens of Christchurch. When tho good work which is done by tho Association in the interest of the public is considered, its claims on tha generosity of tho citizens cannot be denied, and it is hoped that a liberal response will be made to tho appeal. A large brigade of ladies havo volunteered for the work, and no doubt their efforts will hn rewarded, with the success they merit.

The impending retirement of Mr A. Dillon from politics has set the political quidnuncs agog (telegraphs our Dunedin correspondent). In tho event of a certain contingency arising, which might cause Mr Dillon to hand in his resignation before the general election, it is quite on thc cards that Mr Robert MeNnb might be induced to place his services at the disposal of the Hawke's Bay electors, indeed, he has alreadybeen requisitioned to do so, but it is understood that at the general election Mr A.'L. D. Fraser and Mr lan Simson will be prepared to stand against all comers.

Two 'Jack Tars," per medium of their rather strained vocal chords, were trying to tell the world at large, or. rather, that part of Colombo fitrect where they happened to be at 8 o'clock lnst. night, about "Sons of the Sea," when the unsteady feet of one gave way and his head shot towards a shop window. Tlie head unfortunately proved stronger than the window, with the result that there was a sound of crashing glass and an angry shopkeeper making his appearance on tho scene. Tho men in blue, however, promptly compensated thc shop proprietor for tho damage they had caused.

The sale of work and garden party at Bishopscourt will be opened by Bishop Julius at 2.30 p.m. to-day, and later the Bishop of Melanesia will give an address on Mission work in the Islands. Afternoon tea will be dispensed, and the Dresden Company'have arranged to givo a piano-pianola recital. A team of boy scouts, under Sergeant Carrington, will givo a display of ambulance work, and a collection of work, island curios, plants/and flowers will be on sale. Tlie fete lias a double purpose, viz., tho raising of money in aid of the fund, and also to enable the Church people of the dioceso to meet Bishop W T ilson of Melanesia.

The First Battalion Canterbury Infantry Brigade, at present in camp at Cashmere, under Lieut.-Colonel the Hon. G. J. Smith, put in another very serviceable day yesterday. Reveille was sounded at 5.45 a.m., and at 6 a.m. the men naraded in plain clothes for half an hour to clean and fix up the camp for inspection. At 7 p.m. battalion drill in close order was gone through, a line of outposts with piquets and supDorts being taken up. To-day the morning work will be as previously, and at 7 p.m. battalion drill and skirmishing will take place. A line of outposts will be established, and the companies will march on the posts. Reliefs will be made, and the full line will be inspected by the staff.

An interesting collection of radio active and rare earth minerals is the latest acquisition of tho Canterbury Museum. Among the specimens obtained are Schcllite, viobite or columbite, ceritc, thorite, monazite, aeschynito, pitchblende, cleveite, samarskite, enrnotite, wiilcmite, and wurtzite. The specimens make a very interesting addition to the geological exhibits. New exhibits of different character are a Kaffir knobkerri, and a ball of native rubber, in its raw state. Dr. Solf, of Samoa, has presented a neatlooking Samoan mat, made of some kind of fibre, and ornamented with small crimson feathers. A New Zealand robin had been added to the New Zealand collection. The floor of the New Zealand gallery, which was formerly occupied by whale skeletons, has now been cleared, and the skeletons are now hanging from the roof of the gallery. It is'the intention ot the curator to put a number of the New Zealand bird exhibits which have been mounted and placed in cases, in the space which has b»en made available. This should be a <"c.t improvement, from every lX) [ * of view.

The Xaoier Borough Council has accented tho offer of-Mr? R^ 11 ' ** i'tfoCO. for a theatre site- ibe P 1 ? perty is two and three-quarter wres in extent, and is situated in the heart ot the town.

At tho Palmerston North Magtotrate's Court Yesterday J°. hn , y , r " Weller, bookmaker and billiard ro-im proprietor, of Foxton, was nneti *.|" for betting with an infant, and A.W for laying totalisator odds. A Rose Show will be held in the Alexandra Hall from 2 p.m. to 10 p.p. to-day. A Larcre number of entries havo been received and a good feJiow is anticipated. There will be orchestral music in the evening.

Messrs Michael Murphy and J. McMillan havo been re-elected as members of the Board of Governors of the Agricultural Collese. Mr Murphy was elected by the members of both Houses of the Legislature, and Mr McMillan by the Agricultural and Pastoral Associations in tho North Canterbury district.

On Tuesday last the South Canterburr Mounted Rifles, who wero in camp at Timaru, were inspected by Captain Potter A.A.G., who put them through squadron drill in the afternoon, and on the following morning were engaged i„ foot drill. Lieut. Bowie, of the nctivo unattached list, was m <*arg» of tho cafflp. which was struck on Saturday afternoon. A foolish motorbt would have had only himself to blame if he had had a smash up nt the corner ot Worcester and .Manchester streets last night. Iwo traincars were about to pass, one on the loop, and the other on tho mam when the motorist, who was scorching towards Cathedral square, tried to cut in between them beforo they met. and had it not been for tho orompt action of tho two motormen a smash-up must have been inevitable. As it was, the motor-car grazed the two trams as it shot through.

Tho "merit and demerit system" which is applied to tramway employees ay as the subject of a few remarks at the meeting of tho Tramway Board yesterday. "Mr W. Recce moved:— "That tlio Staff Committee bo requested to make a report on the system, and the desirability of its being abolished or continued." 'This was seconded by Mr D. >Sykes, who said that he was against the system. Ho was of opinion tliat a lot of men would havo been discharged from the service long ago if it had not been for tho system.

According to Mr J. T. Heberley, who returned to Bluff last week from the Campbell Island whaling station, the Terra Nova will call at Campbell Island on her way to Antarctica. Mr Heberley, who returned by tho Amokura, had an opportunity whilo that vessel was at Port Chalmers, of speaking to Captain Scott, and he offered him half sheep if he should call in at Campbell Island on his way down. Captain Scott accepted thc offer with alacrity (says the "Southland News"), and seemed keen on making Campbell Island tho last port of call in New Zealand —because Camnbell Island is in reality as much a part of "God's Own Country" as Stewart Island, or even the South Island.

An interesting suggestion was mado by a correspondent in a letter to the Christchurch. Tramway Board, which was read at yesterday's meeting. The idea apparently was that the Board .should stamp on the time-table sheets posted at the various places the route number of the particular line on which the time-table was posted. For example, a time-table posted at Sumner would be stamped with a large figure three—which is the route number of Sumner. Mr W T . R-eece followed this up with another useful suggestion, that the Board should issue small route niaps, with the various lines bearing their route number. This, he thought, would be particularly -useful to visitors to the city. The matter was referred to the Staff Committee.

A very successful united Orange Church Parade of St. Albans Scarlet Line, No. 5 A.-and Belfast Ulster True Blue, No. 4 Oran_o Lodges, was held at Papanui on Sunday, at 2.30 p.m., and was largely attended by brethren from other lodges. The procession, headed by the Pipe Band, marched from the Masonic Hall to the Presbyterian Church, where the service was conducted by tho Rev. D. J>. Rodger who preached from Mark i, xxii.—"And they wero astonished at His doctrine, for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes." After the service the procession marched back to the •Masonic- Hall, where a hearty vote of thanks was accorded by the brethren to tbe Rev. T>. D. Rodger, for the eloquent address he had delivered to them, The W.D.G.M., Bro. Sneddon, thanked tlie visiting brethren for their attendance, which had helped largely to make the parade a success.

Many people havo been stopped of lato by certain gentry, who, presuming on their good nature, pitch a pitiful tale of woe, and beg for money to buy some food or pay for a bed. Hie plan usually adopted by the mendicants is to pretend that they know their victim, and then to state they have been tramping the streets all day looking for employment, that they have been Eromised some, but in the meantime aye nowhere to shelter their head, and nothing to eat. So cleverly have these tales been told that in the majority of cases the mendicant has secured his object. However, some of these men have made one great mistake, of forgetting the faces of those from whom they have already received charity, and approaching the same, persons again with the same old tale. They have been watched in consequence, and after taking in somo fresh victim jiave been tracked to hotels, where they have doubtless enjoyed the fruits of their ill-gotten gains. Several complaints have been made to the police on the matter, and a sharp look-out is now being kept for these men, of whom it is reported there aro a good number at present in Christchurch, most of them being social derelicts, and many with a more than intimate acquaintance with the country's gaols.

The Auckland Islands, which were recently put up to auction, and which have been much discussed as a result of the lack of competition for tho lease of the group, were visited last March by the training ship Amokura. Amongst her passengers upon that occasion was Mr J. T. Heberley, of Campbell Island fame. 3lr Heberley, who returned to Bluff from Campbell Island last week, gave a "News'' reporter some interesting particulars respecting the condition of the Auckland Islands. The 160,000 acres of the Aucklands are, in his opinion, useless for all practical purposes, with tbe exception of sealing. It in too peaty and boggy for sheep, which, when tried, on a previous occasion, died off rapidly. There are a few cattle on the Islands, and any number of pigs and rabbits. Cattle could do Well enough, but, as they would have to be shipped to the mainland to be of any use commercially, it could scarcely be a paying industry. The bush is too small for milling, and the soil is too wet to be of any uso for cultivation —even the hardier varieties of English grass refusing to grow at all. In answer to several questions, Mr Heberley said that at the most only about 2000 acres of thc group would, if fenced off, be of any use for sheen-farming, and even then it could carry only about SCO sheep, which could not be'payable. "No," Mr Heberley remarked, in conclusion, "1 reckon the Aucklands are not of much use, leastways I can't see where anything oould be made out of them unless you dijz no the old General Grant and her £100,000 worth of gold, and there is not much chance of that."

Four candidates aro spoken of as likely to be brought forward for Timaru at the next general election.

A young man, named Matthew Cooper, was charged at the Wellington Police Court yesterday with assaulting his wife. The alleged assault was said to bo the result of domestic differences. Mrs Cooper was conveyed to tho hospital, and her depositions wero taken early yesterday morning. The accused was remanded until December 12th.

The notification that a large number of unregistered and stray dogs had been secured by the City Council officials caused quite a levee of neople to assemble at the Destructor. "These wore mostly ladies who wero looking for lost canine pets. A good many were thus claimed, and saved from tho lethal chamber.

"With regard to the recent amendments in tho licensing legislation, Inppector O'Brien, of Dunedin, has stated that he is quite satisfied that its beneficial results in respect of tho supply ot liquor to youths for consumption on licensed premises wero plainly visible on Saturday night last. The Inspector says that at 10 o'clock on Saturday night thero was an almost entire absence of juvenile intoxication in tho streets of tho city.

At Blenheim Yesterday. Mr Florance, S.M., gave judgment for tho plamtift for £200. the full amount claimed, and costs, in tho case of Jackson v. Baldick and others, a claim for the value of a whale lost by tbe plaintiff s party in Queen Charlotte. Sound, and iound by tbe defendants. Notico ot appeal was given by each of tho defendants, and the case will como before the Chief Justice this week.

Counsel for a defendant, in a breach of awards case, heard at Kaiapoi yesterday, remarked that awards of the Court in respect of wages wero at times traversed by workers who agreed to the award rate of wages and wero paid the same, on the undorstandins that a certain portion of tho amount was returned to tho employer. Whon questioned as to tho rate of wages paid they were able to assure the Inspector that tho award rates were received.

In consequence of the passage by Parliament of the Mining Act, the Coal Mines, Act, the Shops and Offices Act, and other measures introduced by the Government that are regarded as inimical to the well-being of industries, steps are being instituted to have the situation referred to the New Zealand Employers' Federation, 'with a view to coucerted action being taken by all omployers to enter tho political arena in straight-out opposition to the Ward Government.

Tho local agent for the Labour Department states that from all indications, trado just now is up to the averago of former years, both in retail and manufacturing businesses. There are a number of enquiries by unskilled men for work, but they were mostly strangers from other parts of the Dominion, and some of them were recent arrivals in the country. Efforts were made to place them, and from the fact that very few returned it could be assumed that they had obtained employment.

Thc inauguration of a regular sung Eucharist celebration at the Suuday morning service at St. Michael's Church took place on Sunday at 10.15 a.m. The service, with its splendid ritual and magnificent vestments, was reverently and correctly carried through by the vicar, the Rev. H. P. Burton, and his curate, the Rev. J. L. Mortimer, the latter preaching a "short sermon. Following this, ordinary morning prayers were read. In the evening tho vicar preached to a crowded and interested congregation a wonderfully eloquent and inspiring sermon of forty minutes' duration, from the words, "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not."

Ngaurunoo was scaled on Tuesday last by a party including five Auckland cyclists, who were well rewarded for their hard dimb tinder heavy weather conditions. It would appear, that the summit of the big volcano has been undergoing considerable change, as the party found four distinct craters, although two of them were inactive at tho time of the visit.'The torn and scarred walls of the old and the new craters and the upper slopes of the mountain, together with the throbbing of the giant and weird volumes of sound that are emitted from the heaving interior impress the sightseer with the awesomeness of tho titanic forces, at work, while the sulplrar impregnated masses of steam that pour from various fissures, pall tibe whole with a choking and uncanny shroud, an ever-present promise of vague cataclysm.

Speaking on Saturday afternoon at the conclusion of the bowling match Christchurch Club v. Wellington, Mr Haybittle, of Wellington, referred to tho various characteristics of the game of bowls. Amongst other points of the game, Mr Haybittle spoke of the absolute equality of men which the game induced on the green. "As Gilbert says of love in 'Pinafore,'" eaid Mr Haybittle, "bowling levels all ranks, I have seen a counter clerk in the post office or a postal officer getting £160 per annum directing and ordering as skip of the rink the Secretary of the Post Office, and sometimes the Minister himself. No greater exposition of the tendency of bowling to enforce the equality of man could be given than this."

No matter whether you have much or little to spend per week, a saving of from 30 per cent, to 50 per cent, of that amount can be effected when you make your purchases wholesale instead of retail. Anyone can make this saving by joining the Wholesale Club. Your personal investigation at the Club's warehouse is invited. Address, Worcester street East, next Smith's Garage. 6

If asked for a simile, we would say, "Throw a stone into the water, and not© how the rings expand, and expand to tho furthest possible limit" —60 with, each bargain disposed of by Messrs Armstrong and Company, Ltd.; from the buyer, its excellence is noted by friends, then friends' friends, until, as at the present moment, the country rings with the fame of, and moneysaving opportunities afforded by, the firm's Annual Summer Sale. This is the reason each of their large stores are thronged morning, noon, and eye, and crowded out on Saturdays w-th keen buyers. Messrs Armstrong's values are their strength. C Important to Traction Engine and Threshing Mill Owners.—The Aveling ana Porter latest type Traction Engine, which we are showing in our yard, is a great advancement on anything yet imported. All change speed gears are locked fast in the motion, pump is inside cab, compound starting valve and expansion governing render the engine very efficient for light work. Engine has extra largo forward tank, large axle, enclosed gearing. Also the "Anderson" Threshing Mill, fitted with all the latest improvements. Anderson's, Limited, Lichfield street. 4 It has been found that even the hugß premises in Manchester street recently secured by the WTbolesale Club, covering nearly half an acre, aro still inadequate for tho requirements of its daily increasing trade, so that further space has had to be arranged for. This will delay the opening of the Club's new premises for some few weeks, as tho work of reconstruction and arrangement is not yet completed. In the meantime, the public are advised to investigate this economic proposition by visiting the Club's present warehouse in Worcester street, next Smith's Garage and behind the Cathedral. A comparison of the prices charged hero with those charged by the retail stores for the same quality goods will convince you that it is going to pay you handsomely to become a member of tl c Wholesalo Club. The membership subscription is 10s per annum, but tho ssivine: you make may be anything from £30 to £100, according to the amount you spend. 6
