Picnic parties looking for a suitable locality to spend a holiday cannot do better than visit Tatapouri.

| A special meeting of the Holiday Comi mittee was hold yesterday afternoon to . reconsider the decision as to the holiday j in celebration of the King’s Birthday.

A petition had been received from over sixty people, pointing out the inadvisability of holding the holiday on the Monday, The Chair- j man spoke iu favor of rescinding the former decision, which ho said would mean that there would be two holidays. For his part, he intended closing on the Saturday. Mr Garrett said it would be a pity to have any disunion over the matter. Mr Friar said that he had proposed that the holiday be observed on the Monday, and lie now proposed that that decision be rescinded in favor of the Saturday. People had, he said, so far always fallen in with the decisions of the Committee, and it would not be right for them to set their face against the desire of so many to have the holiday oil the Saturday. Mr Pcttie said that the right thing would be done in observing the Saturday.

The motion was”carried unanimously. The Chairman stated that any members of the Committee who were not present had signed the petition.

Morere Hot Springs Hotel, has made great improvements at the baths. Seeing that the Government are retrenching in all directions, and that the vote of AffOO made three years ago is -still unexpended. Mr Cooper has grown weary of the delay, and has had perforce to do something himself to make the baths presentable for ladies and others patronising this health resort. He has put in gratings on tho floor, and roofed in the baths with iron, tilled up chinks in the outer slab work, and generally improved the surroundings. There is now no possibility of bathers getting their clothing drenched with rain while they are having a dip. All the same, wo must say it is a great reflection on the Government as a whole, on Mr Carroll our mem be r, anti the Government staff that this work lias not been carried out ion" ago. Who is to blame *? The sooner the right shoulders are selected for vigorous censure the better it will be for the people of this district and Morere in particular.

Nothing has so far been done with regard to the appointment of a successor to the Kev. Canon Webb, of the Holy Trinity Church. At a meeting of the vestry, held last evening, the parishioners’ warden, Captain Winter, who is also one of the parochial nominators, stated that so far no intimation had been received from His Lordship the Bishop that Canon Webb’s resignation had been received, and in the meantime no steps could be taken by Hie local nominators. It was stated at the meeting that .Bishop Williams would be a through passenger to Auckland by tho M.irarou to-morrow, and Captain Winter was requested to interview him. Along letter was received from Mr W. I). Lysnar with regard to the appointment of a successor to the Kev. Canon Webb. Mr Lysnar urged upon the vestry the necessity of selecting a minister who would not introduce either prohibition or politics into the church. Mr Lysnar thought that the Vestry should make this a necessary condition in connection with the appointment, as he was sure that the fact of a clergyman having strong views on tho liquor question would prevent many parishioners from attending. The communication was received, but was not deemed by the Vestry to be a matter in which they should interfere. Wesley Church Services, to-morrow.— Morning li. Evening 7.—Kev. B. F. Kothwell.
