LADIES' PRIZE

FOR SENIOR CADETS. We have been asked to publish the following appeal :—: — To the-Ladies of New Zealand,— t am writing to ask you to help a little in something which I know will interest you all, as almost every lady in the Dominion has sons, brothers, nephews, or cousins in the Senior Cadets. They will soon be commencing their training for this year, and it eeenis to me it would help towards getting the very best resullfi from their rifle shooting if ladies all over the Dominion would subscribe anything they like, from le upwards, to form a general fund to provide prices for each district, to be shot for and called "The Ladies' Prize." I would suggest that tho Mayoresses or ladies they may depute in each district which is a centre of a Senior Cadet company should kindly undertake to receive subscriptions and collect in that district, giving her name and address in the local paper, so that all might know to whom to send, and I would ask her to forward tho amounts, as they come in, to 1 me. We would acknowledge them, and publish the amounts received in the papers. It may seem ambitious, but let us try, if our fund 6 will allow, to have a ladies' prize for every Senior Cadet company in the Dominion. We want the New Zealand Senior Cadets to be second to none all over the Empire, and I am euro this can best arid soonest be accomplished by all the ladies joining and showing that they take a very real practical interest in the young men of tho future, who are to be their defenders. My husband. General Godley, approves very much of this idea of asking the ladies to encourage their Senior Cadets, and I trust that my Buggefitiou may meet with your approval and support. — Believo me, etc., LOUISA M. GODLEY. Ths Mayoress of Wellington (Mrs. M'Laren), who is much in sympathy with the appeal, has deputed Mrs. Godley, 18, Oriental-terraco, io act for her in the matter. The following ladies have kindly consented to collect and receive sums in Wellington and district : — Mrs. C. Eark\ "Keiiilworth,"' Htll-sti-pct ; Mr?. Moorhouse, Upper Dixon-street ; Mrs. J. P. Luke, Hiropi-streot ; Mrs. Cnrrigan. Tala-vera-lerrace; Mrs. Darling, Botanical Gardens-road; Mies Robin, Roxburghstreet ; Mrs. Algar Williams, Hobsonstrcet.

The 2000 case* of fruit v. hieh arrived by the Maitai from Fydney yesterday opened up in excellent condition. The shipment comprised oranges,, mandarines, paesioa fruit, and pines, which sold to-day at considerably higher prices than those ruling ]act week. This is attributed to a shortage which is being experienced in Wellington at present. On the representation of Air. J3. Carmody (Inspector of "Awards) the Kosher Meat Company was fined byDr. M'Arthur. S.M., to-day £1 for employing a youth over sixteen years of age at a rate of 17s 6d instead of 20s a week, according to the award. Tho manager of the company stated that he did not know the youth c age. Eooney had never mentioned tho matter to him. In our advertising columns the Mayor asks citizens, where convenient, to enhance the interest in Dominion Day by decorating their premises with flags.

In addition to the burns ho is suffering from slight shock. Tho Pt.M.S.
