Barber, to meet incoming vessels from Home for the purpose of welcoming Welsh people coming to New Zealand, and imparting general information and advice.

In answer to criticisms on his recent utterances at the opening of TattersaJl's Club, the Acting-Premier (Hon. J. Carroll) said to-day to a iPost representative: — "Apart from the personal allusions, of which I take no notice, I am rather pleased that what I said has elicited so much comment. It is a big social question, and one which has to be considered. To my mind, there are only two ways of dealing with it — either by an organised movement to control and regulate sport in a way which will minimise the attendant' evils, or to repeal the law and abolish the totalisator. I don't care which."

Lower Hutt has provided, some charming flower shows in the past, and the spring show of the Hutt Valley Horticultural Society, to be held in the Drill Hall on Wednesday and Thursday next, is expected to equal, if not surpass, any of its predecessors. There are so many varieties of daffodil, narcissi, and jonquils that, without the assistance of other spring flowers, an exhibition of the former might easily be sufficient to prove attractive, but the lovely anemoiras may not be ignored, nor the fragrant hyacinths neglected. Therefore, all these will be in evidence, with many .more to add to the delightful scene. With the ladies' decorated tables and mantels (the latter a new departure for the society) the drill hall will be a veritable paradise on Wednesday next. For Petone visitors a motor-car service will be run to the hall at frequent intervals. The show will be opened at three o'clock by the Hon. James Carroll, Acting-Premier.
