The Railway and Carriers' Association will bo holding a picnic on the Te Kumi racecourse next Sunday. Particulars will ba advertised in SaturWooi i-oiiivht in New Zealand and Hut'iir.:' Aire? during the months of ,imiliary. February, and March ' had 5)1 proved to be wrong, many New Aeaiand importers losing an all-round pevei per hale,*' says tha Statist. Jt is added (hat there are considerable slocks of unsold wool in Bradford today, owners simply waiting a favourable opportunity for turning them to Rood account. The "All Blacks" on Saturday won their first match against the Olympic Club, nt San Francisco, by 19 points to 0. In the first half, the visitors scored two unconverted tries, and in the Becond three tries, two of which were converted. New Zealand wbb superior in the scrums. The team 8 aggressive dribbling was admirable, but forward passing was frequent. A repressentation of k the operetta "The Merrie Men of Sherwood" is to be given at Otorohanga towards the end of the month, and the necessary arrangement are being made to this end. The committee wisheß to remind all performers that a rehearsal will be held on Tuesday evening, October l<ith, at which a full attendance is requested. It has been decided that the official opening of the Te Kuiti bowling green will not take place on the 16th inst. This conclusion was come to because it is deemed advisable to give the young grass a further ahance to become thoroughly established. On Thursday next four rinks will be open Cor play, and it is anticipated that these rinitß will be in splendid order. Mr Barnett, of Waitewhena, has commenced operations on the coal Beam on his property near the main road, by means of an aerial tramline which is working splendidly, bringing the coal down from the seam on the hillside to the paddock below. Intending coal buyerrs will probably have to make their own arrangements with regard to carting. The Ohura Rifle Club intendß holding its annual shoot to-morrow. The president and secretary will select teamß on the morning of the shoot and a dinner will be provided by the losing team. A special feature of the day wi'l be a ladies' match at the 500 yds range. The club has been remarkably successful in the Trentham competitions, and the prospects for the coming season are excellent. It is pleasing to learn that the supply of eieam to the newly-opened Waitanguru dairy factory is already exceeding expectations. On Monday the second instalment of cream was brought to the factory, and the vat was found too small to hold the amount produced. The supplier with the biggest record was Mr W. Jones, who contribution totalled 1591b5, while several others had well over the hun-dred-pound mark, including Messrs Harwood and Jackson. As only about half the supply is coming to hand at present, the prospect for the season is extremely healthy. Messrs A. and T. Burt have during the week just installed a 74 horsepower Siemen's electric, motor, direct current, 460 volts, in the workshop of Messrs Pomeroy and Co., Ltd., Te Kuiti. This is the first motor installed in the town, and will be ÜBed in driving a planing machine, band saw, drilling machine and several other different kinds of machinery. A satisfactory trial of the motor hftß been given. The installing of the motor, etc., was conducted under the direct supervision of A. and T. Burt's representative, Mr W. Dawson. A large stock of motors, etc., are on hand at the powerhouse, Te Kuiti.*

Owing to the accidental death, under very painful and unforunate circumstances, of Mr G. B. Nicholls, of Christchurch, the No-licnnse Organiser for the Canterbury district, and a prominent member of the New Zealand Alliance, the Rev. J. Dawson, secretary of the Alliance, finds it impossible to visit Te Kuiti this'week aB arranged. The conference and public meeting announced for to-day are therefore postponed. , It is particularly regrettable that these meetings should have to be abandoned at the la st moment, especially seeing that the disturbing element is of such a tragic nature. Mr Dbwbod will be coming north towards the end of this month, when the previous arrangements will be carried out. While the Church Congress at London was discussing rural betterment < the Marquis of Salisbury said "Why leach agricultural labourers to ask for hatha when they do not want baths? Why suggest that they require parlours when neither bathß nor parlours mean saving their souls, nor do they make a substantial difference in public health?" Mr C. Roden Buxton advocated the Church supporting the movement in favour of the minimum wage, a remedy which was being advocated by every party. Dr Woods Hutchinson, lecturing on "Human Misfits," advocated the State eliminating the v feeble-minded from the community when young. This would coat no more, than the present maintenance of the insane, while the reduction thereby in the number of paupers and criminal classes would prove incalculable. The second annual conference of the Relorm party opened at Wellington on Saturday. Mr E. H. Williams, of Hastings, was elected chairman. Amongst those p-esent were the Prime Minister and other members of the Ministry. Reform Parliamentarians, ami about. 200 delegates. The president, in a short speech, congratulated the conference on the muster and on the vitality of the Reform movement, lie emphasised the neceßßity for strong organisation, and the return of more members next year in particular. as the carrying out of the Reform policy had been so badly obstructed. A motion of condolence with Lady Russell was carried, and a similar motion in regard to the Me Mrs Newman. The annual report wap adopted.
