P. Randell, son of Mr. E. G. Randell, of the Land and Income Tax Department, had the misfortune to break one of his legs yesterday while wrestling with a playmate in the Karori school grounds. The New Zealand Accountants' and Auditors' Association (Registered), intimates that the annual examinations ir\ connection with the association will bc> held throughout the colony on sth No- ' vember. The examinations are for tha fellows', associates', and students' grades, and are available to members of either sex ; as a matter of fact, there are several lady membera who have already quali* fied by examination. Intending candidates may procure copies of syllabus, past examination papers, and other particulars, from the registrar of the association, Mr. J. M. Mackie, Auckland,, or Mr. D; M'Kay, care of Luke and Co., Ltd., Wellington. Applications must reach the registrar not later than Saturday^ 6th October, 1906.

In the old days of the (Maori commune, according to iMr A. Hamilton, what we should describe as literary go nius was not rated very highly — it did not provide its quotum of fish or-, fernroot. In proof of which, in his recent lecture h© related an anecdote. A. chief of his acquaintance, one of the old 6chool, so often quoted the neatly-turnedi verses and polished aphorisms of a long-departed worthy, that his hearer was moved to admiration. "So-and-So" (naming the inspired bard), he said, "wa<i surely a great man among his people." " I never heard it," said the old man,, with a touch of contempt in his tone. " I think he must have been a very lazy fellow, or he could never have mad* so many songs!" "Zealandia" writes asking jchethet something could not be done in the way of affording entertainment and sport for the men-of-war's men of th© Encounter and Pioneer now in harbour. Both theso vessels will probably be here for som«> little time, and the- men would undoubtedly keenly appreciate a game or two OB shore. Cannot a few football, hockey, vowing, etc., matches be arranged, i» which the Tars and Joeys could figure,, Jack and Job are at sea the greater portion of their time, and few can understand their love for a game ashore. It would certainly be a kindness if thoso who have the power would act upon tbia hint. Some '' interesting figures relating to the dairy industry of th© colony were given by the commissioner (Mr. J. A. Kinsella) at the annual meeting of tha National Dairy Association at Dunedin. In 1896, he said, there were only 19 butter factories, and 91 creameries registered in the colony, and on the 31st March, 1906, there were 229 creameries, 89 factories, 556 private dairies, 75 private cheese dairies, and 212 packing houses, in addition to which there were •151 skimming stations. The number ol dairy cows in the colony on Ist October, 1905, was 517,720. Then, in regard to exports, he observed that in 1896 ther« was exported 60,(J66cwt of butter, valued at £241,152, and 71,474cwt of cheese, valued at £132,039; or a total of 131,. 540cwt, value £373,191 ; whereas in 190& the figures were:— Butter, 314,165icwt, value £1,696,494; cheese, 121,322cwt. value £376,098, or a total of 435,4^7* cwt, valued at £2,072,591. The increase in exports in • ten years *ra« 303,947£cwt, .valued at £1,699,400, or over 450 per cent. During the 1905-6 season there had been a decrease -in buttet of 18,074icwt, and an increase in cheesci of 34,402cwt, valued at £158,798, the actual increase in butter and cheese, taken together, being 16,327cwt, and th« actual value over last season was £194,091. ■ He thought it could be said safely that they .had produced " not only mow butter and cheese than ever before, but what had been produced was - finer ia quality. There was greater uniformity in quality and make of che-jse during last season than was the case in formef seasons. This improvement was due to factory managers liaving become better educated to one uniform system of manulacture, also to" the more careful and intelligent preparation and use of a propel! flavoured starter. Speaking at Huntly, on the subject of settling native lands on Wednesday, the Native- 'Minister addressed a powerful appeal to his hearers. He, wanted them, ho said, to think of their present condition. With what they possessed, and any legitimate aid given them which they were entitled no, they could better their condition, and raise themselves in the human scale. He stood between them and the encroaching tide, which must inevitably sweep him and ttiem u way into oblivion, unless they met tha main issues at hand. No one was prouder than he was of their past history, their high traditions, their good traits of character, and their disposition to beneficent deedb, but he sadly deplored the drawbacks which wero now found ingrained in their pature. They stood in their own road, and he wanted them to realise thb utter hopelessness of their present, life. They lacked ideals, and they had marked down no broad objective. Aspirations which the individual and tho trib« could commonly conceive and act up tir were wanting. Some stimulus was needed, and he trusted it would come oat oi a spirit of loyalty to their past greatness, out of tho exigencies of the moment, and from an appreciation of th« responsibilities Lhat they were being called upon to meet. 'Ho was there to help them solve these questions. Ha had both ears open to tho pakeha'o claims, and to the Maori wants. Re rerelied on the good conscience of tha pakeha ns well as on tho senso of equity in the Maori. A cottage home attached to St. Mary's Home at Karori, for the accommodation of young children, is being Opened by Bishop Wallis this afternoon. Tho United Building Society announces that an appropriation by sale will take place at the Chamber of Commerco next Tuesday evening. A nomination for the Exhibition hand contest has been received from the Band Association of New South Wales, Sydney. The introduction of this band should increase tho interest in this event to a very considerable extent. An experienced clerk attends to oui Customs entries. No trouble to ship pers or others.
