Congratulations were then tendered to the W.M.'s hy the representatives of the visiting lodges and the lodge was then closed in due form.

BALL. A grand ball was held in the Drill Hall in the evening to commemorate the event. This proved a great success being, iu the opinion of many, the best function of its kind held in Arrowtown for some time. Between 60 and 70 couples participated in the grand march—quite a ceremonious affair, directed by the capable M.C, Bro. S. McSkimming and led by the Piov. G.M. R. W. Bro. Steans and Mrs Melville. Subsequently the gay throng was augmented somewhat so that the floor space was considerably taxed. The lodge bad made a departure from the usual custom of getting the musicians locally and the result was

extremely satisfactory, a violinist and pianist—Mr and Miss Harvey—from Invercargili being the performers. An excellent supper was provided in a large marquee erected at the back of the ball. This part of the arrangements devolved on a committee of ladies and great credit is due to them for the very thorough manner in which they carried out their duties.

YOU SHOULD BEAR IN MIND that the commercial eucalyptus oil which is now bought up at 6d per lb weight and bottled, and on account of the laige profit pushed, you are exposing yourself to all the dangers to which the use of turpentine will expose y ou ; irritation of kidneys, intestinal tract and mucous membranes. By insisting on the GENUINE SANDERS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT you not only avoid these pitfalls, bnt you have a stimulating, safe and effective medicament, the result of a Bpecial and careful manufacture. A trial will at once convince. Quality in small dose distinguishes it from the bulky and dangerous products.

Remember—SANDEß'S EXTRACT embodies the result of 50 years' experience and of special study, and it does what is promised ; it heals and cures without injuring the constitution, as the oils on the market frequently do. Therefore, protect yourself by rejecting other brands. SANDERS EXTRACT possesses curative powers peculiarly its own, and it can be used with perfect safety internally and externally.

General Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who bas commenced his world tour in America on behalf of the Boy Scout movement, en route to New Zealand and Australia, is accompanied on his tour by a Btaff of young men who are acting voluntarily as his " aides." Among those is Mr Noel van Raalte, the brother of Hiss van Raalte, whose engagement to Lord Howard de Walden was announced recently. Sir Robert will lecture on the Boy Scout movement in the United States and many of the towns of tbe Dominions, and in this way the expenses of the tonr. which are very heavy, will be met. In some of the colonies tbe General will be the guest of tbe Governor, and throughout the-' tour a series of imposing receptions and celebrations in honour of the visit have been arranged by local Boy Scouts and others.
