As the result of tho Wellington boxing /\s&ocLition's aniHteitr provincial championships, held in the Town liall, tho Citizens' Carnival Knnrl will bench! to the amount, of about £30. The city loan proposals were briefly discussed at last night's meeting ol the l{osenea.th Ratepayers,' Apsociatiou. over which Mr. T. W. Ward presided, It was decided to call a special meeting next week to consider Ihe matUii, and to ask the City Council to fulfil its promise to allow the council's Outlying Districts Committee to visit Rosenealh as early as possible. The annual meeting of the association is to be hold early in June. Nominations closed at noon to-day in connection with the vacancy on the Miramar Borough Coucil caused by the retirement of Mr. N, W, Bell. There 'ire two candidates, viz., Mr. Henry Hawthorn (nominated by Messrs, G, W. Houchen, H. E. Richards, E. R. B. Henderson, H. A. Smith, and W. E. Tomlin} and Mr. John Telford (nominated by Messrs. J. St. Ucddis and H. N. M'Leod). A poll will be taken next Wednesday, 27th Ma-y. One of the settlers who drew a section on the Hillersden Estate arrived in Blenheim last week with a wagon and team of six horses, with which he had "trekked " from Geraldine, covering a distance of over 300 miles. The journey occupied many days, and the gritty traveller had much outspanning to do ; but he covered the ground without mishap, and reached Blenheim in the best of spirits. He reported, says the Marlborough Express, that the only difficulty of any consequence that he experienced was in the crossing of the Conway river. Mr. F, Seed, for many years inspector for tho society whose object it ie to protect animals from cruelty, has now resigned his position, and it is probable that he will shortly leave for England. Ho hns had a. great deal of experience in the Work he hae undertaken in tho past, but is far from satisfied with what has been accomplished. Many of his suggestions have not been adopted For instance, he stated last night that tho s.ystem of catching stray doge* in Weilingiton was "fifty yeara behind th-a times." Before- leaving Mr. Seed will draw up a list of requiremente, and will leave these for the future guidance of the new hi&pectoi 1 (Captain Hemy) and tho sbciety. In England, the fourth Sunday after Trinity is set aside each year as "Ani* mal Sunday." Over 4000 churches participate in the movement, and <,pocia4 passages are road on the quality of mercy. From the pulpit the various con* gregation® aro urged to show continued kindness towards, dumb animate, and it is claimed that much good has been aocomplished in this way. The work of tho Society for tho Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is brought under the notice of many people, and, by making tho movement practically universal ihrough» out the country, an additional advertisement is given. The local society is cit« deavouring to arrange for an "Animal Sunday" m Wellington. It was decided last night to approach the Minister* 1 Association and Bishop Sprott to see what can be done in thie direction. No collection will b«i asked for. Speaking to a Nelson Mail reporter, Mr. A. E. Tyer, »of Auckland, who is well qualified to speak on the subject, and who had just concluded a trip round Mojueka and Rivvaka, said he was surprised at the enormous waste of fruit at those places for the want of a, canning factory. It was a mystery to him why the matter had not been taken up before. Much money was spent annually with America for canned fruits, which could be produced here, besides being of superior quality, The sinful waste of fruit should be met at once by canning for export and home consumption, It would spell ruin for a number ofi growers if something was not done, if the glut of fruit was stopped in Nelson district it would mean that the price for first grade fruit would rise in Wellington, and the grower would not only get the top price in Wellington, but also a good price at the factory. Tho member for Auckland West (Mr. J. H. Bradney) referred to Uie recent etrike, and was constantly reminded of •i ,J.|f'"r - '•■ J-h "■« t\\ •)>. \* r " •'■-r Theatre, Poneoiiby, on. Monday night (says the Herald). At v question ti'no he was asked to explain his action in voting for a lilt, i^i 1 [ll^.CullllX [iHUl'llll jl Mtlllg. The repiy was emphatic, "1 do not believe in peaceful or any other kind o£ picketing," said Mr. Bradney. "There is no occasion for picketing in this country, lit amy case, how can there be peaceful picketing when men are in the etate of mind they were in during the ptrike?" La.tor, in answering a question as to whether he would try and induce tho Government to provide work for tho unemployed, Mr. Bradney said it wns not the duty of the Government to find work for them. Such a procedure would tend to create "hangers-on." Workers were wanted, not "lmngereon," who loafed and let their wives go out wnshing. With regard to the blackballed con» tract in connection with the building of the new Grammar School at Mount Eden, a curious case- of union inconsistency and loyalty gone askew seems to be revealed (says tho Auckland Star). Eleven men, all first-class bricklayers, as good a squad as the general foirma-a ever hopes to get together, left the job became they refined to work with and alongside a mar named ArrmM. The allegation airahist Arnold WMthat during tho recent strike he hsv<'i wjtpkcd oa a blackballed job. He denieo thai ell<>' gation. but that is the only charge, tho union lias preferred against him It now appears, however, that two or throe o*' the meri who left the Or».mni,\r School job had gone to work on a. contract at Wcstfield. where two of the employees come tinder exactly tho same category as that in which Arnold has been placed. They were, in fact, occupied on the same blackballed 30b which tho union says that Arnold worked on. The general foreman on the Grammar School contract has intimated that hie working foreman, has not been blacklisted by the union. Although such a courso was proposed at the meeting, it \va« not taken up by tho members. The City Federation of Women's Clubs (America] lias not only undc-i v - takon the active work in connection with the beautifying of the city of Toledo tin's spring, but has undertaken to secure the co-operation of tile school children to assist in making t unsightly places "bloom like .1 garden.' 1 A committee of members of the fedcrat'on will superintend the work.
