A 100-year-old Maor.uwar canoe has been placed in the grounds of the native church at Ohinemuri (says the Auckland Star). The canoe, which is ahout 45 feet long, and capable of carrying 70 men, was named Iro Iro, and belonged to the Ngati Rangiwheiwhei hapu of the Arawa tribe. In accordance with the ancient custom, it had been buried with the body of the chief who owned it, at the head of Lake Rotoiti. It was dug up about 10, years ago. and remained until recently on the island of Mokoia It is intended, as soon as funds can be raised, to restore the canoe to something of its old appearance. Half a guinea at the Melbourne Clothing Co. will buy a superb pair of either Kaiapoi or Roslyn saddle tweed trousers. These trousers are, of course, made of pure long stapled crossbred wool and are guaranteed to give long service. It's good policy to stock now, •><* pri^Qs fo»" all woollen goods are rapidly advancing.—Advt. •
