The feat of taking a bicycle right round the Coromandel Peninsula (has been accomplished by Mr C. Barwell, of Mount Wellington (says the “New Zealand Herald”). As the result of much thought, Mr Barwell recently succeeded in combining the humble push bicycle with a canvas boat, and rivers and harbours no longer impede him. This boat, which is collapsible, does not weigh more than 351 b., and has the virtue of being convertible into a snug tent. Mr Barwell proceeded via Thames, and in the last stages of his journey rowed down the Waikato river. He had a dangerous experience when crossing the Manukau Heads from the mouth of the Waiuku river. The sea was calm when he set out, but a breeze suddenly sprang up when he was half-way across. However, after many anxious moments, the crossing was completed in safety. Apart from this, Mr Barwell had a more or less uneventful trip. (By special arrangement. Reuter's World Service, in addition to other special souroes of information, is used in the com pilation of the oversea intelligence published in this issue, and all rights therein in Australia and New Zealand are reserved.) Never more humorous, never more enchanting, never more brilliant ami inspiring as the verdict of all whom'have seen Mary Piekford in her latest picture “Sparrows.” It is a rare gem that has come from years of artistic endeavour on the part of the world’s best-loved artiste. “Sparrows” is adapted from the book of life with Mary in her greatest achievement.
