Included in the passengers from Wellington by yesterday's ierry. steamer were 52 immigrants who arrived, from .England by the Tongaxiro. At 1.44 p.m. on Saturday the Fire Brigade turned out for an alarm S\™n by Messrs Mason, Siruthers and Co. s private alarm, but found no signs of fire on the premises. In the supplied list of tho stall-hold-ers for the forthcoming bazaar in aid of St. Saviour's Orphanage, the namo of Mrs S. Bullock was inadvertently omitted. The police will. be glad to receive information as to the whereabouts of a Humber motor cycle bearing the tercel number 4600, which was removed on Saturday from the corner of Armagh and Durham streets. ; .i- '.' Blocks of tickets in the Canterbury 1 Trades and Labour Council's Industrial Exhibition art union must be returned to tho secretary (Mr James Young) not; later than 5 P-ni- next Wednesday. The ; art union will be drawn next-Friday. On Saturday afternoon the Canterbury Model 'Xacht Club sailed off tho, third and fourth heats in the handicap, race for the vice-presidents trophy. There were seven starters, and thoy all" came to the post, despite the very heavy 'weather from tbo nor'-west. The' following are details/—Third Buchanan's "Pateena" 1, Mr Jones's; "Isa" 2. Mr Eckenstoin's "Maid" 3.; Fourth heat—Mr Buchanan's "Patee-i na" 1, Mr Haydon's ."Doris" 2, Mr Eckenstein's "Maid" 3. ; Tho sub-committee of the Sports Carnival to bo held at Lancaster Park on the 18th met on Saturday evening, Mr CJ. Cooper presiding. The secretary reported that the contractor wcufd havo tho stand ready for use by the 18th. Special arrangements are beiug made for the convenience of the public, and it was decided that the east stand be free to the ipublic. Largo entries have, been received for ,the various events, and competitors are reminded that the entries close, at the- Pioneer Club rooms this evening at eight o'clock. Derry's Band will be in attendance. It was decided to invite'the Mayor and •tho city councillors to bo present on tho occasion. - A correspondent points out -that the election day unfortunately clashes with tho St. Saviour's bazaar,, which is arranged to bo held on ..odnesday and Thursday next, and suggests that seeing tho elections aro to bo held in the four, if not five, city "and suburban electorates on Thursday, tho prospects are not. favourable to tho bazaar doing much business on That day. The suggestion is mado that tho bazaar should either bo. postponed to a later date, or opened on Wednesday and continued on cither Friday or Saturday—the latter for choice, so as to get the advantage of the half-holiday. Tho Tyscr liner Marere arrived at, Auckland on Tuesday from- London, via Australian ports, and. it was learned from thoso on board that almost fr y n the time of crossing the , equator the liner-was beset by storms of; such fury that it seemed impossible' for her to come through them withqut st-riouo damage.' To.make matters ivorse, Sj.(.w squalls and blizzards swept cio.vu upon her with blinding fury, whilst ttiu temperature . fell to 2rdeg. and tho barometer to 23.20. Tho steamer chipped great quantities of .water, and tbo oflicer3 and crew went aboat -then duties in peril of being, washed overboard. On November • 10th the eJimax of the storm was reached, when it blt-w a nurricane, which raised seas. Tho eying spray so obscur.-d the surroundings that the officers could hardly gco the light on their own vitsscl. The Marero carried a viliibu? shipment of purebred horses, whish were shaken about to a great exteit, but none were injured. Yesterday the 41st Sunday • school anniversary services wero held at the Oxford terrace Baptist Church. In tho morning the Rev. R. c.'Gray preached to the scholars, taking as a motto text the words of Paul in the Book of, the Acts, "Whoie I am, and Whom I serve. , " During the aftornoon service Mr J. Caughley, M.A., gave an address based on the word "Gift," and Mrs Gray presented prizes to~ many of "the boys and girls for good attendance and good conduct. The Chinese scholars also, sang ono of Sankoy's hymns. In the evening Mr Gray preached to the parents and guardians of children, charging. them with the great responsibility of educating their children m the home for God and the Church. Special hymns wero suns; at all services, and tho Church was» tastefully decorated with flowers and plants. Tho anniversary will be continued on An interesting ocean race from Auckland to London between the Tysor liner, Marero and the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Co.'s steamer Matatua was completed on tho afternoon of September Bth\ tho Marero winning by five hours. The Marereand Matatua left Auckland for London direct on the afternoon of July 2(ith. Tho Matattia cleared tho railway wharf at 1 p.m. on that day, and \yas followed threo hours later by the Marere. At daylight next moming the Marero sighted the Matatua, and kopt her in sight for three days.The Matatua then gradually forged ahead of her rival, the Marere taking v, more southerly course. The vessels were in sight of each other rounding Cape Horn, but again separated. The Alarere cut out tho distance from Auckland to Capo Horn in 17 days 7 hours, and mot with extremely stormy weather. During the latter stages of tho voyage tha Marere appears to have outstripped her rival, as ehe passed Dover light at 9.25 o'clock on the evening of September 7th, tho Matatua passing several hours later. Tho Mnrere's actual steaming time from Auckland to London was 44 days 21 hours 52 minutes. The "Waimate Times" reports tho rleath of a man named John Roes, about 00 years of age, who had been living close to the Waihao bridge, near Morven, for many'months past. At first i»o occupied a tent, but somehow tbo tent caught fire during last winter, and was practically destroyed, with a portion of ita contents. Since then Rcs3 had lived in a miserable condition, rags, sacking, and tarpanJin. etc., being sewn together to provide a covering. The police heard that he was ill, and visited him on Tuesday last. They found him in a very low etate, and had him removed to the hospital, where ho died on Friday. Papers in deceased's possession howed that he had between £700 and £800 lying to his credit at a Tjmaru bank. Constable Pendcr visited tho place where Rcss had camped, and found the man's wiil. It was'burned round the edge, having evidently paased through the fire when his teni was burned. " Rose left his money io a brother in Rosshire. where he evidently belonged. Ho » not known to have had any friends in New Zealand. He had been living in a filthy, condition, grass and sacking for bed and ragj sewn together'for a cover, with sacks stretched from branch to branch overhead. Be must have led a miserable life.

At the Auckland Supreme Court on : Saturday (says a Press Association ; telegram) a taxi-cab chauffeur named j Jciui William Jtkrcor was acquitted on i a charge of manslaughter in connection with tho death of Charles Goldsmith at Epsom on October 9th. The jury did not retire, j The Waimakariri was reported from ! Bcaley on Saturday morning, to be in ] heavy flood, with tho water 7ft above ' normal, owing to a heavy thunderstorm ; and cloud bursts. By seven p.m. tlia i flood waters were reacning tho head of } Kaiapoi island, and in Stewaxt's Gully were rretty hijjh. On Sunday morning there tvaa washed up on the s\eiv Breton beach, about a quarter of a mile north of the pier, a fisherman's boat. It. has tho name . '•Clyde" painted on it, also tho rcgis- j tration number, -178, with tho lettci-s L. ]\\ There -were no oars or sails in it, and it has probably come from Sumner or Lyttelton, as tlio current on Sunday was setting north. A thanksgiving meeting was held last night at His Majesty's Theatre, under the auspices of tho Prohibition League. Tho- Rev. S. Henderson was in tho chair, and tho shakers were Mrs Cole, Messrs L. M. lsitt, and J. McCombs, and the Revs. W. J. L. Closs and It. S. Gray. Mrs Cole, who represented tho Women's Christian Teinpcraaico Union, referred to the work done by the women in the Prohibition campaign. The other speakers dealt prin-' cipally with the enormous majority of votes cast f° r National Prohibition, "which showed that the fight was nearing a finish, and the need for preparing for the next campaign. !■■■ A Press Association telegram from J Greymoutly states .that the head [ men on the maintenance departments, workshops . and wharves, and others not 'engaged in running j trains on polling day; received .. a cir- ! cular telling tlie men to cease work at noon on polling day. They made preparations accordingly. At 11.40 a.m. a x'crbal message was sent to the foreman of the wbarf-repairing gang, saying that work was to continue till 1 p.m. The men declined, as they had worked from 6 a.m. to suit the tide next morning. . Thirteen, including three permanent hands, were suspended, and are still idle. .. : A meeting of the New Brighton Gala ■Committee•was held at the Council Chambers on Friday night, the Mayor (Mr C. H. Opie) in the chair. The Christchurch /Tramway Board wrote agreeing to increase Wβ-share■.Oγ , the Gala Committee in the profits to 60 percent.-, instead of the usual 60 per cent. It was decided to acknowledge; the letter with thanks. The following officers wero elected :—President: The Mayor of New Brighton; vice-presi-dents, Messrs R. C. Bishop, G. D. Macfarlaue, J. Glanvillo, George Mclntyro, C- H. Winny,'and \V. Bellamy (exMayors of tho borough), and the mem-) ber* of Parliament for the district; vice-chairman and* hon.. treasurer, Mr C. H. Winny; executive, Messrs C. H. Winny, F. Kibblewhite, W. J. Neate, R. Lightbody. A. G. Munns, C. W. Roberts, T. Falkindcr, L. Hardio, B. R. Harding, A. Gale, It. J- Simpson. G Iteiger, It. L. Lees, J. R. Skinner. J. Mason, E. Langford. G. W. Seilars, R. Campbell, W. L. TayJor, and J. B. -Scoble." It was decided to, have a large display of fireworks as an additional attraction - in tho evening. The following donations wore reported ;—Mr C. H. Agar £1 Is, Mr G. W. Sellare 10s 6d. During the course of his address at the opening " ceremony ' of the Somcrfic-fd _ swimming bath, on Saturday afternoon, Mr- Wbitmg said that ho strongly objected to tho Government not voting money to provide baths at all public schools, instead of such money having to bo found by the ratepayers, as had been tho case at "Somcf field. ' It was of- the '' utmost necessity that swimming 'should bo one of the subjects in the education i curriculum." In cases where tho public subscribed. tbo cost' of tho bath many of the contributors moved away, in o ' little while, and other people- who, moved into the district and did not pay one ' poiijTiy towards tho : bath had the, benefit of their, labour and generosity. | Ho had always advocated this proposal i and would always do so. Mr H, G. Ell, who was the. next speaker, said < that tho education of the country. was ' costing a million pounds per annum,, and the Government had so many other branches of education j to look after that 1 it had not up to tho present been able 1 to find the money necessary to build school swimming baths. At the same time tho proposal was ono that he favoured, as there, was no doubt about the beneficial.results of swimming being taught school children. The sentx- ; raonts of both speakers were. warmly 1 applauded. Tho armoured cruiser Drake, says the London corespondent of tho" Sydney "Daily Telegraph," will replace tho Powerful ns flagship of the Australian station. Tho Powerful is only a protected ship, and she is noorly armed, in spite of her great displacement— 14,440 tons. On the other hand, the Drake is a ship in which the Australians could take a legitimate pride, though she actually displaces a few hundred tons less waser.than the Powerful. The Drake is armoured - wife a six-inch belt' to the height of the main deck between the barbettes, which carry'two 9.2-inch r;uns. The 6-inch guns, sixteen in number, are in casemates sin thick, and tho protected deck varies from 2in to Sin.. The Drake is not bnly well armed and* well armoured, but.sho has also a reputation for ET>eed. 'Go Powerful at nor , best has done rather over 21 knots. , while the Drake has on service exceeded 25 knots. There is no question as - to the advantage of such an exchange, but ; it leaves the Australian battle-cruiser, 1 which is due for delivery next summer,. 1 unaEsigned. From the first, it is true,' it has been understood that neither of the two colonial ships would leave British waters immediately they wero completed,, and tho belief has been that they would remain with us until all tho vessels of the Australian fleetunit wero finished, and , that then the whole squadron wouiv. leave in company, probably paying a visit to tbo Cnpe en route. It is quite possible that this is still tho intention, but that the departure of the ships will be delayed. In the course of his sreech at the ceremony of layinp tho foundation stone of the Lyttelton Seamen's Institute on Saturday, his Excellency the Governor, Lord Islington, referred in terms of warm appreciation to the efforts of the little band of ladies and gentlemen-who for some years past have, under somewhat disadvantageous conditions, carried on the noble work of assisting and entertaining the larso numbers of seafarers who visit the port of Lyttleton. It is not generally known that it. L* mainly duo to tho unselfish and untiring efforts of Mr Raymond A. Dearsly, secretary of the Lyttelton branch of the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, that this splendid work has been carried on. Assisted by a number of Lyttelton ladies he has arranged weekly concerts and entertainments, which have been held in the small room at the Sailors' Rest, the use of which has been granted by tho Lyttelton Harbour Board. Oftentimes the room has been uncomfortably overcrowded, and has proved inadequate for the purpose, but the entertainments, as well as tho Sunday night service, have been appreciated by thousands of seafarers, including largo numbers of young men and boys, who are deeply grateful for the interest shown in their welfare when they are thousands of miles away from their families and friends, in a strange port. It is mainly owing to the strenuous efforts of Sir Dcarsly and his friends that the project of erecting a fitting Seamen's Institute in Lyttelton has.assumed definite shape, and whea completed the building mil stand as a splendid monument to his untiring devotioxL • ■ ' ' .

j Tβ Kuiti is tbo latest town to so in for a municipal electric lighting supply. The Tongariro arrived at Wellington from Linden early on Saturday morning wtih 368 immigrants. The river report issued at 9 o'clock on Saturday morning stated that all the Canterbury fishing streams were clear- • I Tbo number of persons who arrived J in New Zealand during" last October was 3160, while there were 2366 departures, ' The figures for October, 1910, wore. — ; Arrivals 8441, departures 2124. [ A union of officers on Wellington tug boats, ferry steamers, and similar "port traders, ,, is in iirocess of formation, with the- object of obtaining im- j proved pay and shorter hours. • At 4 a.m. on Saturday tho British; Antarctic JSxpodition ship Terra Nova left Lyttoiton wiiarf and went cut to sea to enable observations to bo taken to obtain data for the correction of tho magneuc observations inatl-e the; vessel was in the Antarctic regions. There was a strcng nor'-west gale Mowing, and the ship returned to the wharf at midday. The Terra Nova will go out again this morning, weather permitting, to complete the work. A revival of tho whaling industry in New Zealand -waters is about to take Tilaco. Mr Wug, the Norwegian Consular Agent in InvercargiU, states that two steamers, each of oOlX) tons register, have left Norway for (he Bluff, and these aro accompanied by two whalers equipped with tho latest appliances for whale-killin£. The initial owrations, it was announced some time "ago. would bo conducted off Stewart Island and the Chathams group. Tho returns of hemj> and tow graded for export during the month ii November show that tho total number of bales of hemo graded was 8666, as compared with 11,086 for tbo corresponding month of last year, a decrease of 3520 bales. For the twelve months ending 30th November, ,93,486 bales were graded, as against 151,878 for the previous twelve months, a decrease of , 38.392 bales.. During the month 2228 bales of tow were dealt -with, as compared with 3966 for the corresponding month of last,year, a decrease of 1738 bales. A musical accompaniment to an elocutionary effort, sajs the "New Zealand Herald," is all very well when the sneaker has the choosing of tho music, but when there is no choice the effect may bo very queer. Tho % most-ill-assorted combination imaginable was provided on Wednesday night while a young lady taking part in the competitions in His Majesty's Theatre was nlaving the well-known "mad sodno"* of Ophelia in "Hamlet." Her work was pathetic in the extreme, and sentences alternated with long pauses; j and through pauses and words alike, i with a penetrating though mild quality, ' a bana outsido sent in, the joyous strains of "Yip-I-Addy." The audi- I once proved itself individually i bricks i and collectively a brick, and . suffered tho intruding element in silcnoe. i "As a buyer of machinery from out■side sources, New Zealand appears moro characterised by steadiness than by pro- , gress,"- writes tho contributor of a commercial article in tho' London "Times." "And it would almost seem as if she has reached tho stage "where her further expansion as a consumer of machinery will bo* very largely, if not entirely, met by the - growth of her. own industries. She is already an exporter of machinery-to an appreciable' extent. In 1900, of her machinery imports she re-exiwrrted over £16,000 worth,' and she exported machinery of. her own manufacture to tho value of £11,000. She finds" her customers in Australia and-in .the small islands rf. the Pacific. ,So far, her machinery productions, as would naturally be expected, belong merely to , tho agricul-. tural and mining-classes." ' ■ ; ■ A ■ somewhat exciting incident "was witnessed at the .Goro railway station on Vriday, when a> shunting engino was seen racing "at' tremendous speed for the water-tank, and one of. the,, attached trucks'beingon fire.' The train 'of trucks cases of petrol, one of which was -evidently leaking, and a epark from the eng'no had set tho truck afiro. At. the,-water-tank,'water' wae applied to, tho truck; the effect being only'to spread the flames. Ultimately the fire was extinguished , by s!:ovels of gravel and sand. Practically, no damage was done, but if'the other trucks had caught, there, would A have possibly been a dangerous explosion.
