The hunting season by tho Manawatu Hunt will be opened on Saturday next at Mr. D. B. McEwcn’s, Kairanga. Hounds will throw-oil' for a “drag” hunt at 2 o’clock. Suffering from head injuries understood to have been caused through a fall from a horse, Miss P. McConnon, of Aorangi, aged 15 years, was admitted to the Palmerston North hospital last evening. Miss McConnon’s condition is stated to be not serious. The net amount realised by the sale by auction of timber and fittings left over from the re-building of Palmerston North Central School was £7G 15/11. Six rolled steel joists from tho decapitated building at tho school were sold to the Kangitikei County Council for £25 each.

“Another argument in favour of retaining education boards, which do their work so economically and well,” was the comment of Mr. E. Hemingway (actingchairman), when the report by the architect, embodying the cost of the new wooden buildiug at Palmerston North Central School, was laid before the Wanganui Education Board yesterday.

An illuminating letter drawing atteiition to the saving of expense due to the functioning of education boards was received by the Wanganui Education Board when the matter of a particular lease was being discussed yesterday. “Had the matter been referred to Wellington,” ran the letter, “an official would have had to come up to inspect. It would have taken him three days. As it is, it has cost 2d.”
