The P. and T. ball held at the Winter Show Building last evening was a great success. The hall and supper rooms were beautifully decorated, and all the arrangements were excellent. Renwick’s professional orchestra, assisted by Mr Hean (saxophone) from Wanganui, provided excellent music, about 150 couples being on the floor. Tt is estimated that about 500 people were present, visitors coming from all parts of the province. Great credit is due to the committees and all who assisted in making the ball so happy a function. The Marlborough Farmers’ Union has resolved that the secretary shall in--oh're into the position in regard to the inspection ol' internal combustion engines used on farms, as, in the opinion of the executive it is unnecessary to insist upon the inspection. Jn moving the motion (says the Kxpress) Mr. 1’ crgwson said it was ridiculous to think that a small, low horse-powered petrol engine used a few hours—or days, perhaps—a year, should have to be inspected annually at the cost of the fanner by a Government official, while the high-powered motor-cars which were used every day and held a' greater risk, were not subject to supervision. Inspection was all very well in the da vs of -the steam engine, but now, with the safe motor engine, it was obsolete and only served to keep a host of inspectors in jobs at great expense to the country and annoyance to the farmers. In the course of discussion several members agreed that it was perfectly right that all engines should be inspected after installation to ensure that they were properly protected. The pungent refreshing aroma arising from “No-Rubbing” Laundry Help suds only further confirms its great scientific sanitary value.—Advt.
