He will return to Wellington on Wednesday and go South on the following Friday. Christopher John Farrell, who deserted from the New Zealand Permanent Artillery last January, is to be court-martial,, led early next week. Messrs J. H.

The New Zealand Association of Nurserymen (incorporated) will hold its an nuul meeting iv Auckland on 10th April, when papers will be read on various subjects of interest to the trade, including "The Future of the Nursery Trades in the Dominion," "The Best Varieties of Fruits to grow in quantity to meet Future Demands," "Oversea Competition and How to Meet It," etc. The executive of the association believes that the time has arrived when a determined effort should be made to limit the varieties of fruits planted to a few of the very best that will meet the requirements of the trade, and suit the various soils and conditions under which they are grown, and to that end nurserymen are asked to suggest the best fruits for growing' on' a commercial scale in their districts. The Hon. H. F. Wigram anrived in Wellington from the South by the Maori this morning. By way of showing the usefulness of the Petone Wharf, the Mayor, as already stated in The Post, will shortly ask the council to sanction a suggestion of his that a trial shipment of coal for the gasworks should be brought direct 1 n the town. Mr. M'Ewan has been making some enquiries on the subject, and he is convinced that the council will save money by adopting this system, instead of bringing the coal out from Wellington by rail. The saving on a small shipment, he says, will not be very large; but there will certainly be a saving. On a shipment of, say, 2000 tons, the saving, he estimates, would be close on 2s per ton. In view of ithe large amount of coal used by the various industries and for domestic purposes at Petone, the experiment will be watched with considerable interest. All the coal now supplied to the district goes out by rail. Mr. A. Raven, baker, Clyde-quay, notifies in_ our advertising columns that he is removing to larger and more commodious premises situated in Hopper-street.
