The booking at Dunedin for the Union Steam Ship Company's excursion to the Otago Sounds has been exceptionally heavy. There are now only two deck cabins vacant on the Waikare, and the best accommodation below has been taken. On no previous occasion has the, list been . so full at such an early date.

During the voyage of the Delphic from London to Wellington, the ship's carpenter, named Myall, fell overboard An alarm was raised, the ship was stopped, and a boat manned and sent away. As the steamer had been travelling at the rate of twelve knots an hour the unfortunate man was some distance astern, but although only an indifferent swimmer he succeeded in remaining afloat until his rescuers arrived. When picked up he was insensible, but by means of restoratives he was brought round, and shortly afterwards he resumed duty. Mr. P. M. Twomey writes questioning the efficiency of the City Council's method of collecting and removing household refuse. The work is carried out in the daytime, and the ashes and other rubbish are' blown over the passers-by. An even greater danger is the blowing of pieces of paper, etc., into the faces of horses, causing them to bolt. Mr. Twomey himself has been a sufferer from this cause, a horse in a trap which he had left chained having bolted and injured itself so severely that it had to be destroyed. Lives of peSesfcrians are also endangered, and Mr. Twomey thinks the Corporation might be made liable for injury to person or property. The Petone Homing Pigeon Club recently sent a hamper of birds to Te Awamutu, where they were to have been liberated on Saturday week.

New Zealand meat growers are now given the chance of tendering for the supply of the British Army in South Africa — as the result, it is believed, of representations made by the Government to the War Office, through the AgentGeneral. Tenders are invited through our columns by Lieut.-Colonel Morgan, Director of Army Supplies, for, supplies to Natal, Cape Colony, Orange River Colony, *and the Transvaal. Forms and conditions of tender may be obtained on application to the Premier's office. It is considered probable that an order for a further supply of horses will also' come to New Zealand. "The Earthquake and the Lessons it Teaches," was the title of a special sermon preached by the Rev. G. Bond at Trinity Wesleyan Church, Newtown, last night. After referring to calamity at Cheviot in sympathetic terms, the preacher pointed out that earthquakes demonstrated the power of God and the limitation of man, and' said that though calamitous, they were productive of good. Much of the material wealth of the world was brought within human reach by such disturbances, and this was an illustration of the benefits of adversity. Further lessons of reverence, faith, and gratitude were deduced from the ' events of the past week. There was a large attendance at the services in connection with the fiftyfourth anniversary of the Sydney-street Primitive Methodist Church yesterday.
