The Rugby games between Oriental and Wellington, and Petone and University, at Athletic Park, and Poneke and Melrose, at Petone, are all calculated to afford keen contests and will receive special attention.

Most of the State Schools in Wellington city and suburbs will not reopen until Tuesday next, and will, therefore, not close on the following Wednesday (King's Birthday). Whilst employed at Millar's West Australian Hardwood Company's factory, in Taranaki-street, ajmn named Thomas Carter, residing at Kent-terrace, had his hanc l badly lacerated yesterday afternoon by a circular saw. He was conveyed to the Hospital, where his wounds were dressed, and to-day he was reported to bo progressing favourably. The Wellington Church Chronicle, issued to-day, says that the Bishop of Nelson needs nine more clergymen and two laymen for his diocese, and he cannot obtnin them in Australasia. He has therefore arranged to start on a visit to England on 20th August, hoping that the necessary workers may be available there. Mrs. Sadlier will accompany him. An engineer who has lately passed through tho United States, writing to tho tanners' tjnioi^ Advocate on the subject of planting timber trees in New Zealand, remarks :— "There is no doubt in my mind as to tho urgent necessity for tho Government proceeding with a regular settled policy of treo planting, at a rate sufficient to meet the estimated requirements of the country at the time when tho trees may bo expected to reach maturity. Every European country has fonjnmuy years found such a policy necessary (except England), and in view of the quickly approaching time when America will have no moro to export, she will be faced with the same problem, lite largo railway companies of tho Stnteß nro already planting to supply their own sleeper requirements, and why should New Zealand not do BO?"
