At a meeting of the Canterbury Fruitgrowers' Association to be held in the Druids' Hall on Saturday night, the subject, of tomato-growing will be discussed. Usually at this time of the year when there has been a hot summer, typhoid fever is rife, but owing to the. very cool season that has been experienced the epidemic has been very slight indeed. There have also been very few cases of scarlatina, but this epidemic does not depend on local conditions so much as typhoid. Mumps, however, have been very widespread. The annual meeting of the Yorkshire ■Society of Canterbury was held at their roomy. St. Asaph street, last evening, Mr Wilfrid Hall, president, in the chair. The outgoi committee reported having had a , very successful season. Tho balance-sheet submitted showed the Society to be ift a healthy state, having a balance in hand of £4 Is 9d. Tlio various committees were formed for the coming season, and it ■was decided to open tho winter season with a .social gathering. An unusual claim for damages was heard in the Wellington Magistrate's Court yesterday. On the evening of May 19th, 1911, the plaintiff, a woman G6 years of age, was crossing Lamb ton quay, after v i>.m. Tho lamps were lit, and there was a drizzling rain. She Mas going to catch a tram when defendant, a tailor, who was coming in the opposito direction with his head down, and was in a hurry, collided with plaintiff, knocking her across tho tram track on her back. As a result of the collision plaintiff was injured, and sho claimed damages. After hearing evidence, the Magistrate awarded the plaintiff damages sufficient to cover 5s per week for a year (£l3), and expenses, £5 Ms. Thv> Easier holiday traffic commenced j in earnest yesterday. Tho first express ! from tho South had a heavy load on j board and was seventeen minutes lato in reaching Cbristchurch. Tho Railway Department put on an extra I steamer train, leaving Christchiirch for ! Lyttelton at 7.25 p.m. This proved a ! great convenience. It was crowded j with passengers for the boat, and tho putting on of this train relieved tho congestion that would otherwiso have 1 arisen. The second express from tlio South was also crowded, but was well up to time, being only seven minutes late, and part of this may have been duo to the fact that the* 7.25 extra j steamer, train was a few minutes late j in leaving the platform. Altogether about -HO passengers went North in the Maori. In connection with tho sudden rise 1 in shipping company shares, a number of managers of vsiiipping companies were seen in Sydney. While they did not admit knowing anything, ono said, "Whero there's smoke there's fire. It's remarkable that the three man- j agers of the Australian businesses of 1 shipping companies <'<re now on their j way to England, and I know that in the case of two of them their departure was quite unexpected. There is a sort of understanding amongst tho British j companies already. They allow shippers a rebato on freights if they trado with certain recognised lines. If a j shipper wero to send cargo by a vessel | outside the —what shall I .say?—'ar- ! rangement,' no rebate would be given I him on any cargo he sent by tho r<:cog- | niserl vessels. lint if a stronght-out j combine were formed it would be too i great a temptation for thf Federal Go- i vfrnir.ent to step in and subsidise a i line of steamers, or perhaps run State- I owned vessels." Lieut.-Colonel G. J. Smith, commanding the First. Canterbury Regiment, was seen by a. renresont-ative of '"The Press"' yesterday in regard to matters connected with the Garrison Band's instruments. A.s to the question of tho legal ownership of the instruments, Colonel Smith said that it was not on*? that concerned him as officer commanding tho regiment. He thought there could b<; no question that the in-otrunK-nts aro vested iv the trustees of the Drillshod. Recently tho trustees ordered the instruments to bo. retunii-d to tho secretary of the Trust, Captain McGce. They were to be returns! by tlie end of March, but in order to allow tho band to complete its ongrj-.;'.- ,- ---lueiits, and to attend tho Easter Sunday parade, the elate was extended to April 25th. It appears that about iiitecn years ago .-1 trust was ostr.blishtd. in order to procure instruments for the Garrison Band, but though thu instrumento wero got, the deed of trust that was drafted was never completed. The instruments got at tho time mentioned are understood to be now out of date. Tilt- present instruments., which cost about £.'V>), -were paid for. iii part, by public subscriptions and, in part, l:y an advance of £120 made by Mr W. T. Charlewood. Tile trustees of the Drillshed discharged the indebtedness to Mr Chadewoo'l on January 1911. since which dsitf the band's instruments lifive been hr-ld in trust by the trustees of the Drillshcd.

Tho secretary of the Christehurch Hospital and Charitable Aid Board ae-> knowledges with thanks the receipt oi magazines for hospital patients from Mr J. iS. Atkinson. Mr Massey was told by n workman out at Whnngamomona that ho was looking fit. and that he should take to tho ''banjo" for a spell. Tho term Has new to most of tho visitors, as well as Mr Massey. but as a matter of fact, a '•banjo" on the works is nothing moro than a long-handled shovel. The Wellington Hospital and Charitable Aid Board yesterday decided to borrow £10.000 u> enable eert.un proposed works to br> carried out during ( tho year, and to moot additions to ordinary expenditure, absorbing about £3COO. It is understood that tho Royal N.Z. Artillery (Permanent Force) haro caucies for a number of recruits. Candidates nuist hv unmarried and between the ages of 18 and l?o years.

It will l>e open, attain to-day, (hi Sunday the exhibit tion will b,-> open to the public from 2 o'clock to o in the afternoon. Tho Council's object in doing this is to foster art among all classes of the community. Another consignment of pictures forming part o!' the Bailtie collection, to bo exhibited in Wellington and other centres of the Dominion, arrived nt Wellington by the JTemuera from London yesterday. It is hoped (telegraphs our Wellington correspondent) to raise hilly £5000 in Wellington and district lor the purchase of some of the picture?, so that the National Gallery may have a good startwhen it is ready to receive pictures. Tho Clerks' Union which was formed in Auckland a few months ago in the face of considerable opposition by a section of clerical employees, does not appear to have, enjoyed a verj! vigorous career. It was distinctly understood that a dispute was to be filfti, and details were drafted with this' object iv view. The filing has not, however, been notified. It is understood that the membership fee was >-pcently raised from half a guinea to a guinea, and that this had tho effect of causing a number of members to drop out. At a- well-attended meeting of th? Ladies' Committee and others interested in the forthcoming Xavy Leaguo Bazaar and Exhibition, a letter was received from the- Minister of Internal Affairs, authorising tho holding of an art union, and the disposal of certain floods by raffle. Lists of donors to the Bazaar to date -were read, and it was decided to send a balance-sheet at tho close of the Bazaar to all those who have <-ontributed. It was reported • that his Excellency Vice-Admiral KingMall had boon written to asking . for *' his patronage, and nlso if it would bo possible for H.M.S. Drake to be in Port during the period of tho Bazaar. Mr E. C. Bishop, the first Mayor of Now Brighton, was present at theCouncil meeting on Monday night, at the invitation of the Mayor. At tho '•' conclusion of the meeting Mr Bishop said that it made his mouth water'to see the way the Council's Works Committee recommended the expenditure of some thousands nf pounds-on its roads, when a few years ago, "uhen , ' tho Council came into existence, its 'V total income was only some £100 per annum. He expressed his pleasure n% b«ing present at the Council meeting, tho way in "which the Council had dealt with the business of the meeting, and , tho Mayor's conduct of tho business. He thanked the Mayor for tho invita- V tion to be present. The lyro bird, one of tho most beautiful and mturesting of Australian birds, is approaching extinction. It is hunted for its plumes, despito the *;\ct that it I , is on tho list of protected birds, atid ' < hundreds of "tails" arc sold annually. Tho Royal Australasian Ornithologists' Union, realising that tho lyre bird is practically doomed on tho mainland, is endeavouring to have it acclimati&ed '.n , Tasmania. Tho Government of tlnv ■ * island State is willing to help, if specimens are sent across tho straits, and v , Mr Robert Hall, of the iiobart Museum, will see that the birds are liberated in suitable localities. Tho diffi- , " culty is to secure live specimens, for -' tho lyre bird is as shy as a hare, and Mr D. Le Souef (director of the Melbourne Zoological Gardens) has long been seeking to obtain some without success. The young birds are easily . captured in the nests, but co:snot bo reared. „ The estates of deceased persons finally certified by the Commissioner of , •Stamps during the month of March , J numbered 272.

The writer of the'lett-er from Madrid claims that his dead mother was the Southland resident's near kinswoman, and the other features of the tale arc ako similar to those of the other letters we hare been shown.

As Mr J. Down, the present Mayor of Spreydon. i> not seeking rp-electio'i, a deputation waited upon Mr >-•. R. ■Whiting last evening, and asked him U> allow himself to he nominated for the. position. Mr "Whiting consented to the request, and those present formed themselves into a committee to v.crk in his inferesis-. "With reference to the discussion which teik place at Monday's meeting of the Tramway Hoard on the economies proposed to be made, it is understood that if Mr S>l;ei,'s motion had been agreed to. and i;'i increases made in the salaries '>i olfir-ers receiving £225 and over per annum, there would have been a saving of <"»nly £IG9 ;-er annum effected.

Regarding the proposal to call for designs for an improved tramway shelter in Cathedral square, it has been suggested that before the conditions arc drawn nn tlio tramway authorities should he consulted in order to ascertain what they consider is necessary for tho public convenience. It is hold that any arrangements that do not meet tho convenience of tho tramway authorities would involve inconvenience to the public.
At the Ashbiirton Magistrate's Court yesterday Amelia Mills and her parents, Jano Anna Mills and Mark Henry Mills, were charged with having on or about, March 12th. at Methven, disposed of the dead body of an illegitimate child, with intent to effect a concealment of birth. Tho. Magistrate dismissed tho charges against the first two defendants, and committed Mark Henry Mills for trial at the Supreme Court at Christchurch on May 13th.
Speaking to a 'Tress" representative yesterday on the schenre proposed by Mr Hurst Seager for the beautifying of Cathedral square, tho Mayor (Mr J. J. Dougail) said ho thoroughly agreed with Mr Hurst Sealer's proposition, and ho thought the Council should tako it un. The Square was tho ccutre of Christchurrh. and thero were great possibilities there, for with a. little artistic taste it rould- l>o made the finest spot in New Zealand. If the .Square was to be improved and beautified, however, the first thing to do would \io to put a stop to the holding of public, meetings there.
Tho Westport-Stockton Ckial Company has nearly completed tho chain of bores required to link un the lower seam with tho outcrops, and thus definitely prove, the area which is coalbearjng. Tho second to last bore, which is in a most important position, shows tho seam to be Bft thick, and of standard quality. One of tho bores, which hn.s been just completed, shows a seam of conl 18ft thick. Moth scams are of splendid quality. Mr Ashley Hunter, of Auckland, is now engaged preparing a tram for tho new road to connect with the present transit system. The newly-proved eastern area has very great possibilities.
A. request received by tlio Christchurcli Presbytery yesterday from tho Floniiiigton Church, asking permission to introduce t Jig individual cup tor communion purposes, led to ;m interesting discussion, ifc was poinred out that tho .Assembly had already approved of tho adoption of tho individual cup, and that tho Flemington congregation need not approach the Presbytery on the matter. It was then explained that thorp was some division on the subject among the congregation, and that it was proposed to Allow the objectors to communicate in the old way.' This brought T)r. Envin "to his feet with an objection to two forms of communion being allowed in the 0110 congregation- It they waited till their congregations wero unanimous on any new matter, they would never accomplish anything. Tt was stated that the two forms of communion were in use at Brookside, where- a similar division of opinion had osisted. Tho Presbytery formally approved of the request of the Flemington congregation, Dr. Envin protesting against the dual form of communion being allowed.
Tho Christohurch Presbytery, nt its meeting yesterday, expressed some dissatisfactiou with tho position of the Presbytery in regard to the appointment of military chaplains. It was pointed out that ttio lievs. J. .Mackenzie (cit. Andrew's) and Ilayward (Akaroa) wore the only ministers in the Presbytery who had been officially gazetted to the position of chaplainsA number of names had been forwarded to the authorities, through the .senior chaplain for the military district (Rev, Mr Mackenzie, of Nelson), but tlu> appointments had not been made. The Rev. G. B. Inglis .said that the public should know that it was through no fault of tho Presbytery that its ministers could not attend camps in their <>"icial capacity. The Rev. Mr Mackenzie said that it could only be regretted thnt tho appointments had not been made, but ho pointed out thnt tho authorities had experienced great difficulty in organising military matters, and tho appointment of chaplains had not been considered .in time.

JUDGE AND MARRIAGE
In an action concerning a motor collision at Lambeth County Court last month, counsel for the defendants suggested that tho plaintiff, who was riding with his fiancee at the time, was paying too much attention to her and too little to tho motor. Judge Parry:
That may bo so in regard to young people, but it does not affect tho elderly men whom the plaintiff has called as witnesses. They have probably reached the age when they aro sorry they ever were married. (Laughter.) Judgment for the ylaintiff- ">
IDEAL BILL OF LADING
Mr H. Y. Braddon, vice-president of the Sydney Chamber of Commerce, is of opinion that the world has progressed in every way during the last hundred years, oxcent in the matter of bills of lading. At tho Chamber 'banquet last week he waxed facetious at tho expense of present-day bills of lading, and then read out what was evidently the ideal bill of lading. Instead of tho long and exacting exemptions of the present day, this bill of lading 100 vcars old had only vino words of exemption. It referred to a shipment of slnves, "shipped by the grace of God in good order and well conditioned upon the good shin Maryborough, whereof is master under tho grace of God David Morton, bound for Georgoy, South Carolina, 21 nrimo slaves, 6' prime women slaves, marked and numbered as in the margin, and to be delivered in tho like good order and well conditioned at the aforesaid port of Georqoy (the danger of the seas and mortality only excepted). and &o God send the good ship to her desired port in safety. Amen"
TRIUMPHS SWEEP THE ROAD AGAIN. Tho Triumph motor-cycle has proved its speed, reliability, economy, and hillclimbing ability in a thousand stiff competitive tests in all ports of the world, and notwithstanding the large number of makes of motor-cyclo now on tho market, it continues to more than hold its own in every description of competition. Within'the last few days the Triumph has added a number of important victories to its honours list hero in Christchurch, in competitions under the axispices of tho .North Canterbury Motor Cycling Club. On Saturday, iv the hill-climbing test at -Sumner, C. Bqnnington (Triumph) gained first prize, in thft private owners' class, while in tho trade class G, B. Brown (Triumph) won first prize and made fastest time, the fastest motor-cycle of ahy other make being a twin-cylinder machine with a rating of 2 h.p- more than tho Triumph, but which proved 7sec slower. The second place in tho trade class was filled by A. E- Dcndy (Triumph), and tho third by F. Howanh (Triumph). The Triumph men all rodo full roadster machines. Yesterday morning, on New Brighton, beach, a fifty-mile scratch race was held, to decide* which was the fastest singlecylinder 3± h.p- motor-cycle in North Canterbury. Five makes of machine were represented, and the raco was won easily by F. Howarth (Triumph), with G. B. Brown (Triumph), 62sec behind, second. Tho third man was Bmin 9' 3-« th sec behind Brown. Only two Triumphs started, and they led the field from tho word "go." The conditions were so severe, owing to tho heaviness of tho sand, that only three machines out of seven starters tinishc-d tho course. Wo have a good stock of Triumphs on hand.

THE CURSE OF MOTORING Is when you have been induced io buy a car without a reputation, and which causes endless trouble and worry, perhaps going wrong at a critical moment when on a journey, and leads you to make uncomplimentary remarks to your companions. These might nil have been avoided and real pleasure assured had you invested in a silent and sweet-running Cadillac, which carries the highest praise and recommendations of judges, oxperts. and trade competitors (vide reliability trials) and, however high tho praise may bo, is not misrepresentation.
