When the New Zealand boxing team was in Brisbane, the toast of “The Visitors ” was proposed by Mr T. Wellsby, who coupled with it the names of the New Zealand and New South Wales managers. In placing New Zealand first, he stated that he did so because the sympathies of Brisbane people were entirely with New Zealand. They would never forget the kindness of the colony during the Brisbane floods, the promptness with which assistance had been sent being ever a grateful memory. New Zealand had done more than was expected, and more, indeed, than all the other colonies put together. After the City Council had discussed the proposed amendments to the Wellington Streets Bill for about an hour yesterday, and the business was drawing to an end, one Councillor suddenly asked: “ What is to be done about the Streets Bill —is it to be withdrawn, or what are we going to do with it ?” The Mayor: “It is the Streets Bill that we have been discussing.” The Oominissioner..of Crown Lands at Nelson is about to prosecute persons for destroying the sooner? at Ngahio Island.
