Sport of every description holds sway in New Zealand, and football, boxing, tennis, gdlf, etc-, are discussed from the youngest to the oldest speaking members of the community. Ther? comes a time, however, when thoughts turn to more serious matters, for Sport is a fickle god, and helps not the average man to gain his daily bread. What is of more supreme importance to New Zealanders that the forthcoming elections? This is the time when mere man has to differentiate between the Labour, Reform and United Parties, and weigh them in the balance, to see which one is wanting and which has the best community spirit. One spirit, however, has never been found wanting and that is Dewar’s. Dewar Imperia.

The celebration of Dominion Day yesterday was locally observed only as a bank holiday, with a Hag or two flying. The day on this occasion commemorated the issue of the proclamation in 1907 in which it was stated that His Majesty the King changed the style and designation of the ‘,‘Coloney” of New Zealand to that of the 4‘Dominion.” From the early days of settlement uhtil 1841, New Zealand was a mere dependency of New South Wales, being created a separate colony by Royal Charter dated November Kith. 184(\ the change, however, not .taking effect until May 3rd, 1841.
