The New Zealand Rugby League has received a cable from England asking the lowest possible price at which the League will transfer Francis, the well-known' Auckland forward. —Press Association. In connection with the Reform Party lally, to be held this afternoon, the following members were in Te Kuiti this morning:—Messrs Okey (Taranaki), Fisher (Wellington Central), Buick (Palmerston), E.

The young fellow was riding Major Lusk's filly a working gallop when. something occurred tn cause the animal to play up. The lad was thrown heavily, but beyond the broken collar bone, was fortunate in escaping further injury. He was attended by Dr Fullerton, and was able to proceed home, but wili be incapacitated from riding at the meeting. In view of the large number of ' events to be decided at the show, exhibitors and competitors should note that it is imperative that events should be got off with the utmost expedition, otherwise it will be impossible to complete the programme in the time at the disposal of the judges. The exhibitors can assist the stewards very greatly in this respect by taking their positions promptly. Mr H. S. Fitzherbert, S.M., died at New Plymouth early on Alonday, aged 60. He sat on the Bench on Tuesday week last, but had to adjourn the court on account of illness. He was a son of Sir William Fitzherbert, and was himself an M.H.R. in the 'eighties. Death was due to cancer. Interviewed atfer his victory at Potsdam, where the Kaiser's suburban palace is located, Herr Liebknecht, one of the German Socialist leaders, said, "You ask me what now will be . the attitude of the Socialists in the Reichstag. No party has ever been so powerful in Parliament since the foundation of the Empire. The influence of the Socialists, therefore, will be enormous, and will ha\'B to be reckoned with all the time. But we must act with prudence, so as to avoid giving the patriots any chance of a dissolution. The peace of the world is now assured, and you can tel} the public so with confidence."

_i Te Kuiti residents will be glad to learn that the application for another letter carrier in the town has been granted, and the extended service will be inaugurated as soon as possible. The rapid expansion of Te Kuiti has increased the work at the Post and Telegraph Office very largely, and with the extension of the telephone service further additions to the staff will be required.
