LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Owing to a misprint in the schedule there was a misunderstanding concerning the awards made by Mr T. Bevm at the Whangarei Ivonnel Club's Show in respect to the open class for Pomeranians over 71b in weight. The solution was that Mrs M. Hollis' Whangarei Zoo won first prizes in both the novice and open classes for that particular breed In the reported prize list of dogs at the Whangarei Kennel Club's Show the first prize in the Pekingese open class for dogs was attributed to Mr H. K. j May's Mai To of Kokiri, whereas the j event was won by Madam Bransbv's [Tang Pekoe, with the same owner's j Wolverdene Mysox second, while Mai j To of Kokiri, which was quite out of j coat, war, third. Tang Pekoe was in ! full coat. i ! To-day the Prie.;tman grab dredge re- ; nentlv pu rc.ha 4>d by the /Whaaignrei ' Harbour Board, started operations on the stretch between the town wharf j i ami where tho suction dredge coasod ! | oporations, and is engaged in exoavai- j ing some ridges loft by the larger 1 dredge, upon which a number of pleasure craft have recently been aground owing to the presence of the ridges being unsuspected in the chann-el.

Good progress has been made by Whangarei borough workmen in tiie formation to its correct level and metalling of .Tames Street, and the whole length from Victoria Swing Bridge to Canj.'ion >Mtraet lias been ne a rifted. Metal is being dumped and spread upon the end nearest the bridge, but curbing and channeling nave not yet teen begun. Yesterday the heat was so severe that Mair Park in the afternoon resembled, in appearance as regards visitors and the numbers disporting themselves in the water, a carnival day such as is scheduled for next Thursday afternoon. Almost all the rustic seats were fully occupied and many sat on I the grass in the shade of the trees watching the fortunate ones enjoying i . . i the health-giving natatorial exercise.

The suit question is a very important one at this season of the year, as one naturally wishes to be dressed well, and at the same time bo sure of doing so at the least cost. L. J. Brake has set himself to cater for you and the boys along these lines, and his stock of men's suits ranging in prices of (53/, 72/6, 7!>/(5, 87/(5, 105/, 117/'), 130/, 1550/ is surely the finest range of prices we have seen. Boys' Suits too conform to an equally good range, mini's shirts, 5/11, (5/11, t032/<5; ties, 1/ to 7/0, are two more lines that 1.. J. Brake is specially recommended for. So pay a visit to his shop in Cameron Street first. We are confident of the result —complete satisfaction. 450 Coming—Father Xma°, at Dobson's Drapery.
