Mr A. Gooch has returned to Kaiikoura after spending a few days in Christchurch. A cattle sale will bo held at Messrs Pyne, Gould, Guinness’ yards on FriA dance will be held in the Suburbttn Hall on November 13, in honour of visiting Blenheim tt.nnis players. Do not forget that the adjourned annual meeting of the Kaikoura Trotting Club takes place on Thursday evening at the Band Room. Attention is drawn to the sale of pigs to be held on Friday next, on account of Mr C. W. Lee, at Messrs Pyne, Gould, Guinness’s yards.

The Suburban School Committee will supervise a dance to be held in the Suburban Hall on Saturday next. There will be a cash Monte Carlo prize, and good music will be provided. Miss 11. Rowland, of the Kaiapoi School, has been appointed to fill the vacancy at the Town Schol caused by Miss Boynton’s transfer. Miss Shearer (Suburban) is relieving at the Town School until Miss Rowland arrives.. Mr J. Turner (“Texas Jack”), who

was recently an inmate of the Kaikoura. Hospital and later entered the Wairau Hospital, was a passenger by aeroplane on Saturday to Auckland. Ho is now progressing satisfactorily.

Air B. Hundleby, engineer to the Marlborough County Council, has been notified of his appointment to the advisory board of Co-ordinated Buyers, Ltd., an organisation for assisting buying by local bodies. The board comprises officers of various local bodies throughout New Zealand.

Writing to a foreign journalist who was investigating a story that he was dead, Al. Stalin said: “According to the foreign Press, I left this sinful world long ago. Since one cannot doubt the foreign Press, I request you to believe them and not to disturb my peace in the other world.”

The dance held in the Drill Hall on Saturday night, under the supervision of St. Michael’s Tennis Club, was well attended and a very enjoyable time was spent by all. Afusie for the dancing was supplied by Mrs W. D. Sabiston’s orchestra and Mr Alf. Gibson was master of ceremonies. Supper was served and dancing continued until midnight.

Surprise is caused by the choice of John Crouch, aged 21, who has just completed his apprenticeship with Stanley Wootton, as the King’s first joeikey for the coining season. The appointment of a young rider is due to a desire to avoid such frequent changes in Royal jockeys as has occurred in the. past. Crouch has ridden 31 winners this season;

Considerable alarm has been aroused among farmers in the Aushburton county by the operations over a wide area of thieves who have been removing wool from sheds where shearing has been finished or is in progress, according to a. report by Air H. S. Richards, of Valetta. Mr Richards finished his first shearing on October 24 and some odd lots of wool wore left in the shed to be added to when the main shearing is begun. On Wednesday morning when Air Richards visited the shed he found that approximately. £l2 worth of wool and skins had been taken away, evidently by motor-lorry, as the traciks of a heavy vehicle could be seen leading up to the shed. Owing to the nature of their construction it is impossible to make shearing sheds proof against unauthorised entry, and some enterprising thieves have evidently been quick to realise their advantage. Another case of a similar nature was reported from Ruapuna last week, and also the disappearance of two bales from a woolshed near Rakaia. The thefts have been reported to the police, but tracing stolen wool is likely to prove a difficult matter.
