Ho. 3 Wharf. A start has been made with the rebuilding and lengthening of No. 3 wharf, and the east side will be done first. Yesterday' the Harbour Board's crane-ship Rapaki was engaged in lifting and conveying gear and material from the Gladstone Pier to No. 3 wharf. The lifts included some large sheds which the Rapaki picked up and transported in very quick time.

Harbour Light Theatre. Again," a comedy story of Potash and Perlmutter, will be repeated at the Harbour. Light Theatre to-night, together with a comedy and newsreol. To-morrow a double-feature programme will be screened at both afternoon and evening sessions. The chief attraction is "Madame Pompadour,' a British production starring Dorothy Gish, and the supporting feature is "Wild Beauty," featuring Rex, the king of wild horses. Owing to the length of the programme the matinee to-morrow will commence at 2.45 p.m. Work on the Waterfront.

There was another busy day on the waterfront yesterday, but with the sailing of tho Athenic and several coastal steamers the position should bo easier to-day. The Canadian Prospector was again short of labour yesterday, and her sailing was deferred until to-day. It is expected that there will be plenty of union labour available this morning. ;
