M| ' A Mr H. J. D. Mnhon has been unable to accept tho position of headmaster of, • the new Grammar School at Auckland 'owing to ill-heatlh. Th© position will, j be offered to the next acceptable candidinte, but his namo is withheld. Mr. A. Jupp, who for some time has been on the staff of the local branch of the New Zealand Loan and Mercan-! tilo Agency Company, who has accepted a responsible position in Honolulu, left Hawera to-day for Wellington. He will be in Wellington some days before proceeding to Auckland, and after some weeks in the northern city will leave for his island home. Whils in Hawera Mr. Jupp has made many friends, who, while regretting his departure, will | wish him good luck in his future career.' I Writes a Sydney correspondent to .the News: "All Sydney has mourned J for Blr Storey, the man who had no1 enemies. The tributes to him are a most striking example of the power of1 . sincerity and simple kindliness. When . he arose to address audiences he alr ways began 'Friends,' and everybody! became his friend in turn. When the; Prince of Wales was here ho couldn't ; see enough of him, and would have him ! go in all his excursions, and he now ' cables of thq loss of a.valued personal friend. Their friendship was renewed in London'this year. I suppose there i were few whom the Prince met officially who were just such natural, I simple men." 1 Mr. P. J. Howard, late of Gisborne, who has been appointed manager to tho Kaupokonui Dairy Company's Kapuni store, is an enthusiastic bowler, ; and before he left for Taranaki was . given a send-off by the Kahutia Bowl- : ing Club, of which he had formerly i been president. The Gisborne Herald i reports that, in the presence of a large ; gathering, Mr. Howard was .presented with a handsome pocket wallet, suitably inscribed. The president made eulogistic reference to the splendid ( sportsmanlike qualities_pf, the recipient, . and to the splendid service rendered ; both by him and his wife to the club, . which was largely responsible for the ; premier position which it now holds iv > the district. ■ i .-■■■■ ' -
