INCREASING- WINDS

BUT FAIR AND WARM

Special forecast for. Wellington:— Moderate but increasing northerly winds. ■ Weather fair, warm, and hazy.;

The general fprecast for the Dominion as a whole, issued at noon today, is for north-easterly to northerly winds, moderate generally, but increasing. The weather will be fair to fine in eastern districts, but in Vestem districts it will cloud over and rain will gradually develop. Temperatures will be warm.

With an intense anticyclone enveloping the Dominion, the weather has been fine generally and mild to. warm temperatures have ruled. Winds yesterday were light and rather variable, with north-easterlies or northerlies predominating, but by this morning they had freshened in places.

Auckland had a fine and warm summer's day yesterday with a light north-easterly wind. It was still fine and clear there this morning.

Wellington had a beautiful day, with 12.9 hours of bright sunshine. A gentle southerly prevailed, but this changed during last night to a northerly, which was freshening this morning. ' - •

It .was fine in Christchurch also, al-. though cloudy at times, a moderate easterly wind' prevailing. Temperatures there were much warmer this morning.

Dunedin had a fine and sunny day with a .fresh northerly wind. This morning's weather was fair and frazy, with a gentle northerly wind.

"A sad misfortune has befallen toe Cathedral," states the "Church News," Christchurch. "The great bells of the peal have npt been, rung for some months past, because there are insufficient, if any, bellringers left to ring them. For some time before that the Bellringers' Guild was active, chiefly because of the help of English ringers settled in the city. Unhappily they have drifted away one by one to other parts in pursuit of work, and the remnant of the guild is insufficient to carry on. The master, Mr. Barnett, is very sad about it, and he says that the only remedy for the fluctuating membership will be the existence of some guild or club of .young men on whom a call may be made for recruits when vacancies occur."
