The following is the hockey team to represent Taranaki Southern Division on Thursday next at Hawera: — A. Hutton, Sage, E. Sargent, McDonald, Thomson, Kemp (Hawera), Barnard Levin, (Eltham), R. B. Anderson, T. Anderson and Curtis (Stratford). On Saturday last, as the up-mail was descending the grade on the Hawera side ' of Okehu, a passenger, who had been j behaving peculiarly on the journey,,,' I jumped from the platform of the carriage and landed in some grass and ferns no the side of the permanent way. It was some time before the guard was notified. The train was pulled up at Nukumaru and word sent back to Okehu, where the man was found practically uninjured. He came on by the next I tram. As the train was travelling at 1 about 30 miles an hour the escape from serious injury was indeed lucky. The passenger belonged to Ngaere. The Winter Show Buildings are now a hive ff industry. A large staff is ; employed putting ■on the finishing j touches to the premises. Machinery J exhibits are already coming to hand, and the large machinery hall will soon i contain a most interesting collection. I For the convenience of Stratford and Eltham visitors a special train has .been arranged to start from Stratford on Thursday of show week, on which I day a Taranaki and Manawatu Rugby match will be played at Hawera.

On two , or three instances the appurtenances of the Whiteley Memorial Church have been interfered with, but the matter was kept quiet in the hope that the offender might be caught. In one instance, late one- Sunday afternoon, the miscreant i took the communion bread from the sa- ■ crament table and distributed it over j the floor. On Sunday morning, somei where between nine and ten o'clock, St. I Mary's Church was entered, probably by the same person, who threw the communion linen- on the floor, and filled the chalice with wine from the flagons. Efforts are being made to discover the perpetrator of the outrages. Xt is reported that the^efence of the chairman of the Wellington Harbor Board of the seriously-increased transhipment rates is looked upon in Wanganui as very lame ; in fact, is ridiculed. The contention that Wellington provides compensating advantages _ for the excessive impost of 4s,- and in some cases 4s 6d per ton, on"leading business men, has its existence in imagination only. With the improved harbor entrance facilities at Wanganui, now capable of admitting coastal vessels carrying up to 1000 tons or cargo, it is contended that the freightage from Lyttelton will shortly be arranged at the same rates as now prevail from Wellington, thus effecting a saving of 2s 6d to 3s 6d per ton in transhipment charges. A new steam shipping company is being floated for the Dunedin, Oamaru, Timam, Lyttelton and Wanganui tradte, with a view to ensuring a more frequent service with those ports than now obtains. Many thousands of tons of inward Home cargo will then be transhipped at Lyttelton for Cook Strait ports, including Wanganui, and much Homeward cargo, such as butter, wool, tallow, etc., will go to Lyttelton for Homeward-bound .vessels. "It isfelt," said one of Wanganui's largest shippers, "tbat the Wellington Board have more than pressed on the last straw."
