“I have been taxed with approaching the chairman of tho Chamber of Commerce and the chairman of the Expansion League to bring out Mr Todd to contest the mayoralty,” said Mr J. W. Dove during his address at St. Kilda last night He wished to say emphatically that the chairmen of the chamber and the league had informed him that these bodies were non-political and nominated no one. He strongly denied the charge, and he knew nothing whatever about it. It was another of those ‘‘little stabs from behind tho bush.” Mr Dove’s reference to this was greeted with applause. Later in the evening the chairman of the Expansion League (Mr Todd) informed tho audience that he endorsed what Mr Dove had said about the Chamber of Commerce and the league being non-political, and could give a stout denial to the statement made that Mr Dove had induced him to contest the mayoralty.

Tho Maori Hill Amenities Society submitted to candidates for tho mayoralty and City Council a request for their support, it elected, to take immediate action in 1 the matter of tho proposed tram service to Maori Hill.

A very successful sale of work was opened last night in the Mosgiel Presbyterian Hall in aid of the painting and renovation of tho manse and church buildings.

Various competitions were held, and provided amusement as well as adding to the takings. Rev. D. Calder opened the sale, which, jrili be eftttfoued fey oyeninfi.

Some amusement was caused at the conclusion of Mr Dove’s address in tlio St. Kilda Coronation Hall last evening by an individual asking a,number of questions in a loud and excitable voice. lie entered tlio ball before the mayor commenced his address, and occupied a front row chair “ all on bis lonesome.” Throughout the address he was busily occupied with scraps of paper and printed cards. These bo shuffled and reshuffled continuously, and, judging from the movements of bis lips, lie was trying to get the words and sentences firmly fixed in bis mind. Before Mr Dove had finished speaking the man strode to the edge of the platform _ and recited a number of questions in quite a dramatic manner, shaking a monitory finger first at the chairman and then at Mr Dove, while he continued to shuffle his handful of paper and cards. Ho appeared to ho addressing the audioncc_niost_of the time, and he was highly indignant when tlio chairman asked him to refrain from making speeches. His loud voice and shaking finger tickled tho audience immensely. The mayor evidently answered tho questions to his satisfaction, ns he eventually returned to his scat and had another look nt the papers and cards. A member of tho audience then suggested to the chairman that, tho questions were ‘‘probably not tho product of tho gentleman’s own brain, hut were inspired by someone behind tlio bush.” This remark raised tho ire of tho individual, and ho let off steam at an astonishing rate until lie was finally induced to resume his seat. His by-play caused tho audience much entertainment.

Two young men, Frank Goodall and Edward Evans, charged with taking a motor car valued at £7OO without right, (but not so as to ha guilty of theft), were fined £lO each. The default was fixed at a month’s imprisonment, and the magistrate refused time to pay.—Press Association.

The most recent reform in the Anglican Church of New Zealand is of wider scope than some persons may have imagined. Until this year women could not even vote at parish meetings. It was realised that ns a large amount of the financial burden of churches fell on the women, it was but fair that they should have legislature and executive rights. The question of granting the full franchise to women first came before the General Synod over thirty years ago. The Kiev. Bryan King, then vicar of Cavcrsham, introduced the proposal, and it was supported by Sir John Hail. Several synods have since debated the matter, and now it is the law that women are entitled not only to vole, but also to bo eligible for seats on vestries and to become churchwardens and members of synods. The effective legislation to that end declares that the terms “ layman,” “ vestryman,” "synodman," “parishioner,” and “man” shall bo held to include persons of either sex. It will bo interesting to note how tlio enfranchisement of the women is made use of at the approaching Church annual meetings.
