The Wellington Racing Club haa offered the use of the jocl'eys and trainers' quarters at Trentham as a temporary hospital for soldiers. This morning Dr. Valintine, Director of 1 Military Hospitals, held a conference with representatives of the Racing Club, including Mr. A. E. 'Whyte, the secretary, to discuss details arising out of tho offer. The official returns of stock and wool sent by rail from the Pahiatua district during the last financial year chow (says the Pahiatua Herald) that the total value of those linee was £244,101, or £23,269 more than in the previous year. Final leave to appeal to tho Privy Council was granted by the Court of Appeal, First Division, to-day in the case of Herman Weger Company v. the Mangaono Oilfields, Ltd. Tho application was made on behalf of the defendants by Sir Jolm Findlay, K.C. The case of Cook v. Donaldson, concerning the legality of the rules of a friendly society, which was the subject of a judgment on Saturday last, will "be mentioned before tho Court of Appeal, Second Division, to-morrow, when an application for an order as .to cost® will be made. At a, well-attended meeting of the Newlands and Papai'angi Ratepayers and Householders' Association, on Saturday "night, dissatisfaction was oxpressed with the business methods of the Makara County Council, and a committee was formed to call meetings in Johnsonville, Ohariu, Tawa Flat, and Poril'ua, for the purpose of forming a strong deputation, to wait upon the council at its next meeting. " I believe that if the deceased statesman whose statue we are unveiling were here to-day," said His Excellency, at the ceremony of unveiling the Seddon memorial on Saturday afternoon, "he would find, great Imperialist'as he Was— the first Premier to offer a. contingent for South Africa— that this war is bringing together nations of the Empire in a way that nothing else ever ha* done >or wil) do ; and I think he also would be proud that one of his family is going to take his stand in our contingents alongside the forces of the Empire." (Applause.) Before the Court of Appeal to-day, the New Zealand Law Society made application ' for the removal of the name of Joseph Harold Moore, of Timaru, from the roll of solicitors. Mr. H. F. Yon Haast.. for the society, stated that T\loore had failed to account for the sum of £34 Is 3d received from O'Callaghan and Le Oren. Repeated application for the money had ocen made without result, and a judgment for the amount had been obtained in the Magistrate's Court. Nd explanation had been offered. Moore did not appear, a,nd the application was granted, with costs (£lss 15s). During the past fortnight (states a, Press Association message) exceptionally heavy rains have fallen throughout the Thames district. At high water portions of the Grahamstown end were flooded, causing damage and inconvenience. On the llauraki Plains, where a large quantity of water concentrated, the land is clear of water where the Government drainage operations have been completed, but where they are incomplete the water has backed up. This affords further evidence that when the scheme of drainage is completed 0, much larger area, than expected will be drained. Pte. Alfred Henry Turner (Canterbury Battalion), who died of wounds on 10th June on board thf hospital ship Sicilia, was the younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Turner, of Christchurch, ahd a nephew of Lieut. Fred. Turner, R.N.Z.A., now serving with the No, 1 Battery in the Dardanelles. He was 22 years of age and was born at Foxton and educated at Spreydon and Sydenham Schools He took a keen interest in athletics.- and was a^neinber of the Pioneer Cycle and Athletic Club. Both he and his brother, J. M. Turner, a well-known rifle shot, were amongst the first to enlist. One of the results of the recent drought in this district (says the Marlborough Express) is to bring home to the farmers the value of their straw The probabilities are that in future years even barley straw will be regarded as a definite asset and not as an encumbrance, best disposed of by_ means of a match. In a discussion on soil fertility afc Blenheim on Saturday afternoon a farmer made a point that there had been too much burning of straw. He emphasised the fact that, apart from the worth of straw for the maintenance and fattening of stock, there was the consideration that the use of the stacks in this manner contributed in a large degree to the renewal and strengthening of the soil. A mass meeting held at Perth wa* the most notable _ demonstration of any magnitude which has 60 far taken place in Australia in accordance with the urgings of thoee who demand more drastic treatment of residents of enemy alien race The meeting wae a big one. It was organised by what is called the All-British Association. Some of the speakers insisted that all enemy aliens should be interned, whether naturalised or not, but these extremists were disappointed (writes The Post's Sydney correspondent). The resolution adopted by the meeting affirmed that all alien enemies and disloyal subjects should be interned, irrespective of social rank or position ; that all < persons of German, Austrian, or Trukish birth claiming to be naturalised should be called upon to reaffirm their loyalty to the Empire and Constitution, and their destcstation of German ruthlessnese and cruelty, and that the Commonwealth should compel all interned alien enemies to engage in come useful and profitable' work during internment. The Governor, Sir Harry Barron, who had been invited, said In his note of apology for non-attendance, that it was impassible for him to attend a meeting in any way connected with politics, or where much strong feeling was likely to be fthown by ?peak«rs. While the Municipal Council of Manly is appealing with varying success to get other bodies throughout the State to back up its own decision in favour of the internment of all males of enemy alien race of military age, the City Council of Sydney has again negatived a motion for the dismissal from its employ of persons of enemy alien race. The council, or at any rate a> majority, holds that it is not necessary to dismiss employees whose records and speech and actions show them to be loyal to this country and its interest*. An inquest concerning the sudden death of Daniel Bi'een, of Petone, will be held to-morrow afternoon. Our winter shipment includes Cardigan jackets, winter shirts, • mufflers, underwear, socks.
