KAIKOURA.

Notwithstanding that tho Mutual Improvement Society s membership totals over iittv, there was an lmaitucient attenrinnce on Tuesday evening to constitute an annual meeang quorum. Auotker euort will be nii-.de to obtain .the requisite attendance. Tnere would appear to bo valid excuse for non-ap-pearance, of some ol de absentees, it is uigori that while the promotion of Shakespearean readings during last winters session of '"vie Mutual" was a very praiseworthy niece of intellectual ambition, it trcaVcely suited the taste of the majority of tae members. If that be so. tkere is all the more reason that the dissatisfied ones should attend and endeavour to obtain the adoption of a syllabus more to their liking. Next Tuesday a meeting of the local branch of the Main Trunk Railway League is to be held. Kaikoura has beeomo much irritated over the delay in linking up Christchurch and Pictofi". Kaikoura will be represented at the turning of the first sod of tho* WaiauCulverden railway line at Waiau next week.
