Only five cases of scarlet fever aro reported by the Public Health Department as having occurred in the city for tho week ending 30th September. There are no cases reported from the Hutt County. ReOarring to the New Zealand team's four consecutive wins, 169 points against 4, "Offside Mac" writes in the Carterton Leader that the native team wjs beaten in its fourth nntch, by Moscley, by 6 ir 4, having won its first three matches with a total of 18 points against 2. 'the native tour began seventeen days later than the present team's, and the factor of condition of the Horns teams therefore enters into the comparison, and another factor is that it may be assumed that since, tha time the natives played in England, football there has deteriorated, whilst there has been, a ' corresponding increase of knowledge of the game in New Zealand. "The present New Zealand team is a dry weather combination. Both backs anil forwards reyel on dry ground, but there is no doubt \thev will feel the' pinch, in November, ayd especially in December, in the cold weather dnd on the wet sludgy grouuds of. Britain. However, by that time the team should be a great Rugby machine of legs,Varms,^and br.iins, and, everything else be\}ng equal, will be hard to beat." The wr-jter predicts good results if "our men can only .keep then heads from swelling \and their throats, from thirst." \ A most enthusiastic welcome back to Berhairipore was extended •Ju the Rev T. Keith Ewen and Mrs. Ewem by the Baptists of Wellington last nigh*. Mr. Eweu got an extended leave from luis church at .Melbourne, and took charge oK the Berhainpare Church for twelve momths. At the request oil the latter churchAhe accepted a permanent "call." as he Mound that Wellington suited liis health. J He has just returned from Melbourne^ to settle in South Wellington for a period oj at least three years'. The welcome mete t- , ing was held last night in the BerhaiAtpore Church, the building being picked f* ■the doors. The Rev. J. J. North pre>\ sided, and addresses were delivered by \ tho Revs. Messrs Lamb >and Evans (re- » presenting 'the South Wellington Minis- ' ters Association) and Messrs. Cobbans and Whitelaw. Suitable replies wer« made by Mr. and Mrs. Ewen. It was mentioned during the course of the evening that it was intended to enlarge the Church, and the plans for the extension were already in hand. Some eujoyabla music was sung by the chodr, under the baton of Mr. Frew, vocal solos w«« contributed by Mrs. C. D. Mackintosh, and Miss Marsh, and duets by' Misset Maash and Graham, and Mr. and Mrs Bott. There was a fairly large attendance at the weekly meeting of the King's Coronation Lodge of Good Templars last evening The Grand Secretary (Bro. Goodger) was officially received, and presided for the greater part of tho evecing. Routine business was dealt with, after which the item on the programme, ''Grumblers' night," was entered into heartily by all present. Many grievances were ventilated, and remedies suggested. Votes of sympathy withßro. and Sis. Ledbrook in the lost of their daughter were passed. Mr. F. B. M.

At Fuller's Gymnasium last night a boxing exhibition was given by "Hock" Keys and his trainer, in the presence of 'a veiy large gathering. Amongst the number were Messrs. Graham and Hardy, M.H.R's., and Drs. M'Lean, Izard, and Napiei M'Lean, andjnembens of the Wellington Boxing Association. Keys gave an excellent display of boxing and of training methods. At the conclusion of the display several speeches were made. Mr. Hardy, M.H.R., Baid he was extremely pleased with the exhibition given by Keys that night; and as to the recent contest between Keys and Tracy, the speaker was of opinion that he had never seen a belter display of scientific boxing. He assured his* hearers that as long as the sport was carried out in a proper manner it would have the support of Parliament ; but he would urge them not to let it go down, for if they did they would be sure to have their privileges curtailed. Dr. Napier M'Lean, who was referee in last week's contest, said ha had had a comparatively easy job. II was true he had to caution Keys once for hitting bslow the belt, but it was an accidental occurrence, as was tho knock on the eye that Keys sustained from Tracy's head. Keys expressed Ma entire satisfaction with Dr. Napier M'Loan's work ab referee, and said that if they once got - him in Sydney ho would never be allowed to leave. His manner of conducting was first-class in every way. Mr. M'Villy, President of tne Wellington Boxing Association, also made a few congratulatory remarks.
