Tim matron of Iho Napier Hospital desires to thank Mrs J. H. Coleman for spring vegetables, and Mrs A. Stedman for illustrated papers. “A Hazy Morning” is the subject of a pictorial calendar issued hy Mr Arch. King, saddler, Fmerson-sireel. in the minting of which a tine artistic effect las been secured. The Wellington Ghamher of Commerce, after hearing an address by Mr Green, commissioner for the SI. Louis Exposition, decided to urge the Govern inent to have tin* colony adequately represented at the Exposition.

The weather on Saturday night was very pleasant, and the business parts of Napier had an extremely bright appearance. It was noticeable that i large number of people from the eoun try had already arrived in town for the holidays. Light rain fell last night, hut when we wont to press there were grounds for hoping that there would not he any interference with play in the cricket match, Wellington v. Hawke’s Hay. which will he resumed on (he Hecrea- . lion Ground at 11 a.in. to-day. Tlie stall’ of 11. Williams and .Sons. Limited, made two presentations on Saturday—one to Mr C. Kneebom*. and Hu* other to Mr .1. Cowell, both of whom have, left the linn’s employ to start business in partnership at Hawera. The presents were of a useful and valuable nature.

Williams and Kettle, Limited, will offer the Whakamarumaru Estate for sale on Wednesday next in lots of from 1300 to 2000 acres. This property is good healthy sheep country, mostly ploughable. and oilers a good opportunity to those who wish to acquire a nice sized sheepnm on easy terms. A Press Association telegram states tiiat Mr W. Timperley has been appointed Waiim agent for the Tourist Department- It is strange, in view of this appointment, tiiat Napier should be without a departmental agent whom residents and tourists could interview with regard to the resorts under Government control.

The exhibition of students’ work at the Napier Technical School was very well attended on Thursday. Friday, and Saturday. There was much in ail divisions to interest visitors, and the result of the ».•**:sr-have been to give a larger section of the general public a definite idea of tin* good work which the school is doing among onr young people. The P>isho|/ of \V;ii;»]|u writes:— “Any of your Napier readers who are kindly disposed nmy render groat assistance to a fellow-townsman hy procuring a little tea or other article at Winstanley’s shop in Emerson-slivel. The proprietor lias lost his sight, and a little business done with him would he a material contribution to his enjoyment of the Christmas holidays.” At the Magistrate’s Court on Saturday morning, before Mr A.

James Carroll. Native Minister, was interviewed on Saturday morning by Mr G. T. Fannin, secretary of the ‘Hawke's Hay Education Hoard, relative to the Mnhaka school site dispute. The trouble has arisen through the Maoris of the district taking strong measures to prevent the contractor from proceeding with the erection of the building on a site which they consider unsuitable. Mr Carroll promised to see the obVcting Maoris in the course of a day or' two. and undertook to arrange matters satisfactorily. Services in celebration of the ninth anniversary of the Napier Congregational Sunday School, and also of the inclination of the Rev. If. \V. .1- Miller as pastor of the church, were held yesterday. and passed off most successfully in every way. Th° morning service was taken by the Rev. J. A. Asher, in the afternoon the Rev. J. C. Marlin gave an appropriate address to the Sunday School children, and Hie pastor of Unchurch (Rev. Mr Miller) conducted (he evening service, delivering a- very for clblt) address on parental responsibility. A number of excellent pieces were snug by the children, assisted by a large choir and a capable orchestra, the rendering of the music reflecting great credit upon the training abilities of Mr F. Derbyshire, Hie choirmaster. AH the services were well attended, and were much enjoyed. The Hawke's Hay Homing Pigeon Society belli It I'llii-st- Sllpcessiill lace Iniin Picton on Saturday.

Regrettable incidents were witnessed on a recent Sunday at St. John’s Roman Catholic Church, Rochdale, England. During the first mass a wellknown Liberal Unman Catholic tradesman protested against the advice of Father Chipp, delivered from the altar and the pulpit, ns to the municipal elections. At the second mass Father Chipp named a Conservative candidate, for whom he said ho wished all to record their votes, because if that were not done it would be “giving a slap in the face to Roman Catholic schools.” Thereon a member of the congregation shouted “Rubbish,” and Father Chipp exclaimed: “I should like to I’cmind that man that he is in the presence ot tipi fjlessed Sacrament." The interrupter retorted; "Vuu ought not to talk like that here," On leaving the church the interrupter was mobbed and called a cur and other names. At the third mass another Roman Catholic left. During the service he had declared that he could not stay and hear such politics without protesting. An interesting comparison of the cost of corn cultivation by the ordinary methods, and the cost when some of the newest type of agricultural machinery is used, is contained in a circular which has been issued by Mr John Scott of Edinburgh. Mr Scott is the inventor and manufacturer of a series ot agricultural automobiles such as the motor-harvester, the motor-culti-vfttor end tbo motor-waggon, for grow-

Mr Seeholmi Kownliee. aiilhor of A Study of Poverty,” spe iking at the Friends’ Meeting House, York, on belting, said he believed the pre\a!em •• of betting among the working classes was largely due to l he dull deadly mono lonv ol their exist cnee. It supplied an element of excitement which »«■ tensity and /cst to their lit'* wm enabled them to feel they were really living. This being so. they must provide counter attractions. The people were too tired to he preached to or educated; they merely reupind to he amused among healthy and wholesome environments. He also advocated belter housing. with guldens to houses, which, he believed, would help to supply the lack of interest in life which drove them 1o gaud,ling. Something mi hi to lie done by legislation Midi. tor instance, as carrying out the jeionnnen llll’linns of Hi- I 101 - of l.onl'. - < mission: Iml In' believed more could he done hv improving tlie conditions ol (he u-m'kmg liv-. noil t|'creating of a strong, healthy public o),inion against tin* evil- lh- said (In’ I,citing evil had degraded municipal polities to the extent that men were now betting on the issue ol local 'lee linns and recording their voles to in lluence the result of the elections in accordance, with their bets.
