Some comparisons have been mado between tho speed of express trams in New •Zealand, on tho Continent, and in Great Britain, where there are a number of ■daily express trains making runs of from 50 to 120 miles without a stop, and whose ■average speed is from' 51 to 59 miles per .hour. The fastest and-longest non-stop run i s 325 miles from Paddington to Plymouth, mado at about 54 miles rer hour. The speed of French express trains varies from 50 to 60 miles an hour, but there are no non-stop trains in France for any groater distance than 150 miles. The bazaar inaugurated by tho ladies of St, Paul's Methodist Church is to be opened to-mOrrow afternoon in the fimpiro Hall by the Mayor, Mr, J. A. Nash. A largo and varied assortment, of saleable goods has been collected and a fino display is promised. Those who attend are promised good value for their money, and the country people aro being specially catered for' on Thursday afternoon. _ The proceeds are in aid of tho now building fund, and so fine a church should make visitors to tho bazaar all the more enthusiastic in their efforts to assist in raising the necessary funds. To-day's heavy showers were received with great enthusiasm not only by farmers but by the many amateur gardeners in tho town for tho Manawalu district ba.s rarely if ever experienced ;'o dry a spring as the present. A great many of the watercourses have been almost dried up, and to show how little rain has been falling it is only necessary to say that in some of the Hokowhitu lagoons logs which are usually submerged almost, all tho year, except ; n the very driest summer weather, have been shewing above water for some time past now. Unless further copious showers fall the prospects for the coming season will not be very bright. Judgment for plaintiff by default was entered in the following debt cases, before Mr A. D.

"Booming has done Pctone a lot of harm." said a resident of that pleasantlysituated township to a "Standard" representative. "How? I will show you. Iho railway workshops are. employing more hands'than ever previously, and so are tho woollen mills, And yet our population is not increasing, and to-day there are a great many unoccupied houses. Year* ago, when rents were reasonable, a good many Wellington business men lived in Pctone. Then, when the price of land went up, by means of booming, rents rose rapidly, and are now, I suppose, nearly double what they were some years ago, The consequence is that many persons who formerly lived in Pctone, now find that they can rent houses nearlv as cheaply in Wellington, and with manv additional advantages through being in a large centre. Had there been no boom and rents remained moderate wc should still have had these people as residents, whereas now wo have lost them, and there are scores of empty houses iii Petonc. So that will show you what booming has done for this town I have never seen a boom that has not been followed by a more or less disastrous reliction."
