Conductor Lever, of the city tramway service, who had his leg badly cr^-hed between two cars yesterday, with the result that it was found necessary to amputate the limb, was this afternoon reported to be progressing as well as can be expected. -A similar favourable report is announced regarding Conductor Williams, who yesterday sustained a fracture of the skull. Mr. Armstrong, -Governor of the Terrace Gaol, who was assaulted last week, is, though still weak, also making satisfactory progress towards reco*. cry. Mr. and Mrs. James Godber, of Wellington, who have been on a tour of the world, will return by the Warrimoo, due from Sydney to-morrow. Admiral Poore will shortly hold an inspection of the boys of the Amokura. His Excellency went for a drive in the Hutt "Valley to-day. Messrs. Gualter, Dykes, and Co., auctioneers, advertise in this issue several properties for sale ; also a boardinghouse close to the city. The annual meeting of the No. 2 Cooperative Building Society of Petone will be held in the Ranfurly Hall, Petone, on Friday, 4th December. Messrs. A. L.

The exhaustive directory expands yegt by year until one needs almost to have a portable cra'ie to handle it — and then the time has arrived for the sectional directory. A good example of this kind of work is Turner's Directory of Manufacturers of Australia for 1908, which is compiled in conjunction with the Chambers of Manufacture in the respective States, particulars of which were advertised on Saturday. It is printed in legible type, strongly bound in blue cloth, and is liberally supported by advertisers. It covers the whole area of the Commonwealth, is strictly confined to manufacturing firms, and seems to be very complete. Tho names appear under tho respective trades, which are sot out in alphabetical order, the States as subordinate headings. A few pages of introductory matter give statistics snowing the progress of manufacture in Australia. Tho proprietor is now in Wellington, and is preparing fpr the second annual issue, which is to include New Zealand ; and we understand that the cooperation of the Industrial Association has been promised. >
