J. o'Regan contesting the Boiler seat in the interests of Labor. Mr o'Regan has received very largely signed requisitions from all parts of the Buller district, with a requisition, from miners. It may not be generally known that a farmer ia privileged to shoot imported game on his own property during the authorised season without being the holder of a shooting license. A case bearing on this point was mentioned at the meeting of the Auckland Council of the Acclimatisation Society, when one of the rangers reported having caught the son of an unlicensed farmer in the possession of game. Reference to the Act showed that a farmer could shoot either on his own property or allow a member of his family to shoot under a written permit. As no such permission had been given in the case cited, it was resolved to consult the Society's solicitor concerning the advisability of prosecuting.

Some keen contests are said to be in prospect in the four Maori electorates of the Dominoin at the coming general election. The Hon. Dr. Pomare is believed to be pretty safe in the Western Maori seat, but it is probable that he will be opposed by Pepene, who was his opponent last election, Keritoke, and Mr. William Moffat, the latter a half-caste. Dr. Buck, it is understood, does not intend to seek re-election, but it is expected that the Northern Maori constituency, which he now represents, will be contested in the interests of the Reform Party by Mr. Leopold Puhipi. It is thought that Mr. Stuart Meha will stand against Mr. Ngata in the Eastern Maori electorate, and Mr. A. Rore, a resident of Blenheim, well-known in sporting circles, is mentioned as likely to contest the Southern Maori electorate in the interests of the Government. At present this seat is held bv .Mr. C. Pa rata, an Opposition supporter. There are a number of other prospective Maori candidates in addition to those mentioned.

Much is heard nowadays of the dimculty of getting people' to church, particularly young folk. The experience of the Berhampore Orphanage superintendent (Mr T. R. Mills), hqweyer,. would seem to show that this is no fault of ffio children themselves. "If a child is prevented for any reason from, attending divine service on Sunday," it was stated in the annual report of the orphanage, "that child's disappointment is most keen. The difficulty, of which so much is heard, of getting, children to attend church is, in the light of the orphanage experience, due not to. childish perversity, but to the irreligious'atmosphere.of their homes."

About 1000 men are now on the paysheet at the Broken Hill Proprietary Company's steel works at Port Waratah (N.S.W.) By the time the works lare ready to roll steel rails the total number of hands employed will be in the vicinity of 5,000. What this will mean to the Commonwealth in general, and to the Newcastle district in particular, calls for no very vivid imagination (says an Australian paper). The preliminary stages of the construction works incidental to the establishment of this mammoth industrial enterprise have now occupied, roughly, twelve months. In that time very many thousands of pounds have been expended in labour, material, and machinery. ' '.' Be on \the winner and buy Watson's No. 10 Whisky.-Advt. it has been said by visitors that, the dwellers in New .Zealand cities are, enthusiastic over their sports, but it takei countrymen and countrywomen to really appreciate the serious side of, say, foetball. Last Wednesday a match was played at Woodville between a local team and an Aotea (Maori) team, and a racial war was narrowly averted. When , a bulky Maori, Rangi Rautahi, got over the line and scored a try for his side, four young Maori girls rushed over to thg hero and hugged and kissed him (reports the local paper). The onlookers were greatly delighted with the : scene. And when Percy Jones potted a goal just on the call of time and won the match for his side, several Woodville girls joined in the cheering. This was more than a Maori girl, dressed in bright yellowjcould stand, and ehe knocked one Woodville girl down and punched another in the back and looked determined enough to go for all the females on the ground, only she was prevented by her companions.
