A number of boy messengers are required by the Telegraph Department in Wellington. The work ia light, and there are good prospects for bright lads who i carry out their duties satisfactorily. ' The Northern Company's steamer Rarawa is leaving New Plymouth breakwater to-morrow evening for Onehunga, on arrival of the Wellington express, instead of this evening, as is usually the case. Co-operation with the Dental Association and the Education Board was yesterday resolved upon by the Hospital and Charitable Aid Board in connection with ' an inspection at one of the public schools with a view to furnishing a report on the condition of the children's teeth. A man who deserted from 'H.M.A.S. Melbourne at Brisbane two years ago surrendered himself to the Christchurch police on Wednesday. He stated that I he _ had always regretted his act, and | seeing that the newspapers had announced a pardon for deserters presenting themselves, he had decided to give himself up with the hope that he might rejoin his old ship.

Bandmaster Sass, who has just return ed from Egypt, states that the set of band instruments provided by the ladies of Wellington were duly handed over to the Wellington boys ih Egypt, and weru greatly appreciated. The gift was all the more acceptable as the instruments in use were greatly knocked about in the ' lighting on the Canal, and the men j would have been deprived of a lot of ! pleasure had not the new instruments arrived. The men have asked Bandmaster Sass to convey their hearty thanks to the Wellington ladies. A very fine programme was presented in the V.M.C.A. Hall at the Trenthahi Camp last night by Mr. R.

"I do not think that fche present service is at all injurious to the health of the residents ; there is no more healthy suburb in Wellington, but there are a number of residents who are of opinion that a better service thaoi that at present existing would be very de sirable." A motion by the speaker that " the Sanitation Committee report to fche council upon a suitable sanitary service for the borough," was unanimously agreed to. In forwarding cheques for £150 9s Sd for the Hospital Ship and £17 5s for the National Fund for Wounded Soldiers and Sailors, the secretary of the Hunterville War Relief Fund (Mr. J. W. Wilson) has written to the Mayor of Wellington : — "At our meeting last night it was resolved that a Provincial Fund did not appear to be workable, and that every effort should be made to establish one National Fund. I take it that you hold similar views on this point, and I trust you will be able to carry your point at the meeting you mention. I shall be obliged if you will advise me of the date on which this meeting is to be held." At a meeting of the Manawatu A. and P. Association a day or two ago, a letter was received from Mr.' Latter (states a local exchange), headmaster of the Wanganui College. saying that the conditions upon which the annual Rugby match between the Wanganui and Te Aute Colleges would be played during the show would be that the association must donate £50 and the whole of the grandstand takings towards come patriotic fund. A resolution was proposed that the mafceh be dropped out of the programme, but an amendment was carried that the £50 donation be agreed to, but_ that since membership of the association carried with it free acceesto the stands, the rules could not be waived by now making a charge.
