The * Sports Special,’ containing the whole of to-day’s sport, will be sold on the streets to-night. At a meeting of the Deacons’ Court of Maori Hill Presbyterian Church on Wednesday evening tenders for the supply and erection of a two-manual pedal pipe organ were considered, and it was decided to accept the tender submitted by Messrs Chas. Begg and Co., Ltd. The organ, which will embody tho most up-to-date principles of organ construction, will have tubular pneumatic action throughout, divided console, “ rocking tablets ” (instead of the ordinary draw-stops), and tho air pressure will be supplied by an electric blower. The instrument will bo built by Mr E, H. Lawton, Pittodrie organ works, Aberdeen, Scotland (in conjunction with Messrs Lawton and Osborne, Onehunga), whose organs are to bo found not only in many cuurches in Great Britain, but in South Africa, and also in numerous churches in the North Island of New Zealand, where they give unbounded satisfaction. An W. Paget Gale, organist and choirmaster, Knox Church, was appointed by the Deacon’s Court to supervise the erection of the organA meeting of the John M'Glaslian College Board was held yesterday. The Rev. J. Kilpatrick* presided, and the Revs. J. J. Cairncy, A. C. W. Standage, A. C. Watson, Dr Herrington, Professor Davies, Messrs J. M'George, T. C. Ross, and C. Gilray were also present. Tho principal reported that the school had reopened after the holidays on May 29, and the same day the primary school inspector visited it. Five now boys had been enrolled, three of them being boarders. There were now fifty-seven boarders, the largest number since 1921. Tho dancing class under Mr Oxley and dancing class under Miss Wallace were being held this term, and Mr M’Gregor was holding a class in woolclassing. At the end of last term thirty-nine boys gained certificates for swimming, Mr Buxton having charge of this class. E. M. Elder gained first place for Otago in tho Victoria League essay competition. Mr J. Sutherland Ross, speaking at the Perpetual Trustees’ annual meeting about the handicaps that business people had to carry, mentioned as an injustice the necessity of giving payment to young men or young women according to ago, and not according to experience, when they entered a business. This was a grave handicap on industry. If a lad attended school to obtain a good secondary education he did not enter commercial work until he was eighteen or nineteen years of age,. He had then to bo paid, according to his age, a wago wMcn ho was not capable of earning in most trades or industries, and as a result ho would drift into a blind alley, because no business .could afford to carry hands who did not prove remunerative to it. There were the makings of a serious misadventure on tho St. Clair Esplanade one night this week. Backing out of a garage, tho driver of a car must have misused the accelerator, for the car leaped tho kerbing and crashed through the netting, breaking one of the upright angle irons that carry .the wirework. Very luckily, the netting bulged without breaking, and therefore held up the rear wheels for a moment, thus enabling the driver to move ahead and out of danger of a shattering drop on to tho beach. Tho experience was unique, and the sequel uncommon, since the driver rang up the Town Hall and narrated the facts, instead of trying to evade responsibility. and, as is too often the case, leaving tho local constables to dig up the facts.

The_ suggestion mads by the magistrate in a recent motoring case in tho Police Court that a railing should bo placed at the top of Victoria street on Cargill street has been adopted by tho City Council, and a white railing nas now been erected, so that motorists who do not know the locality will recognise that the lower part of Victoria street is not intended for traffic.

The suspension of the regulations prohibiting the use of boric acid in bacon curing, it is understood, Was Wade by the Minister of Health (Hon. J. A. Young) only after a sharp difference of opinion. It is reported that Cabinet was divided upon this point mid that the Minister was in the minority, The upshot is that the regulations will be suspended until the '-esult of the inquiries of Mr Neville Wright, chemist to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, is made known. Mr Wright has now left for England, and it is hoped that his ininstigations will give a lead as to the probable result within twelve months. —Wellington correspondent. An Auckland Association message states that the Kumeu Post Office was entered by burglars, the safe being blown open with explosives. The cash box, containing money, stamps, and cheques, was taken. Citizens of Dunedin are evidently responding to the request of the city electrical engineer to economise on the use of “ juice ” until the now pipeline is in position, only the matter of two or three days.

Cameron (secretary of the Fanners’ Union), The, accommodation available on the West Coast will make it necessary to limit the party to 350 persons, and bona fide farmers who wish to participate in the excursion should not delay in making the necessary arrangements.

The National Mortgage and Agency Company to-day let the contract to George Simpson and Co. for the erection of its big wool store at the rounded corner of Jervois, Vogel, and Cumberland streets. The company’s old manure store is to be pulled down, also the Milburn Company’s ancient buildings, and the sits is to be used for a three-story store 212 ft long by 82ft 6in wide. The reason of the delay in announcing the' date of the ‘Elijah’ concert by the Dunedin Choral Society is that it is hard to get a date for the theatre.
