Among the men there were not many candidates, but those who did come gave an excellent, account of themselves, all passing with most creditable percentages. Five candidates failed to obtain the requisite number of marks to pass. Of these, one lady was unable- to attend at the written examination, another lady took suddenly ill as the written work was commencing, and as she had done a fairly good oral and practical work it is a matter of regret that I cannot my way to pass this candidate." Those who have passed the third course will be aVle to obtain from the head office a medallion in gold, silver, or bronze if they leave their names with Mr H. Thomas, the secretary for tliis section.

The fourth annual social of the Oamaru Athletic 'Football Club was held in St. Luke's Hall on Thursday niglTt, when, despite the inclemency of the weather, there was a very large attendance, the ladies especially deserving great credit for the way they turned out. The grand" march was led off by the captain (Mr J. Mullin) and Miss Hunter, followed by nearly fifty couples. The floor was in splendid" order and the dancing was kept going till well on in the morning. Mr R. Appleby made. a very efficient and obliging M.C., and the musicians—Messrs Home (piano) and M'Bride (violin) —were all that could - be desired. The catering was in the hands of Messrs Hepburn Bros., who earned out their part of the programme in a most efficient and satisfactory manner. Just before the supper adjournment Mr I). Miller, vice-presi-dent of the Club, took occasion to present Mr J. Mullin with a gold medal for the most consistent player and best back for the season. This inedal, which is a- very lLandsome one, was presented to the Club by Mr J. Cliilcott. This is the second year that. Mr Chilcott has presented a gold medal to the Club, and the Club's thanks and best wishes are due to him for his great interest in and encouragement of the game. During the evening some songs were introduced and the dance was an unqualified success, everyone agreeing that the fourth annual social of the Athletic Club was not unworthy of its predecessors. The .Kolnische Zeitung on --uigust. Bth published the following telegram from Berlin!: Reports from Belgrade tend to show that King. Peter is openly terrorised by his entourage, which te chiefly composed of persons who actually took part in the or were privy to the murder of King Alexander and Queen iDragii. As a proof of this, it may be mentioned that all copies of yesterday's issue of the official Gazette containing the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel Leschjanin, the .Servian military attache at' Constantinople, to the post of Court Marshal, .were called in by tlle;polie£-shortly after publication, and:a second issue 'appeared, which, however, did not contain, the appointment. Colonel Leschjanin is the brother-in-law of the Serjvl jnistAtijf Finance, and was Court-Mar-shal under King Alexander until the Litter's marriage. The Mail. Journal bad published threatening : articles. when the report of Colonel Leschjanin's. appointment was first circulated.

Messrs G. and X. Young, watchmakers and jewellers, have forwarded us one of their comprehensive and exceedingly well got up trade catalogues. The Garrison Band, having resolved to take part in the band contest at Timaru early next month, have decided to give a concert before leaving for the scene of operations, in order to afford the public an opportunity of hearing the test selections and helping to defray the expenses. The concert will probably be given on Friday, 2nd October. Under the direction of Mr I'. C. Burry, the band have been putting in a great deal of solid practice, and have made most encouraging progress with the preparation of the contest music. Next week they will have three full practices—Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings—and for the succeeding week the conductor, whose enthusiasm' might well become infectious, ha/5 announced the order as every night every man. The annual meeting of the Oamaru Lawn Tennis Club will be held on Wednesday next, 23rd inst., in Messrs Newton and Borton'-s office.

Writing on August 7 the London correspondent of the Lyttelton> Times says : Those among you who served in the late war, and particularly those who sufficiently distinguished themselves to win tlie oneocoveted D.5.0., will be interested to hear that, the King's recent decree giving precedence to the Victorian Order over the Distinguished Service Order has created a deal of sarcastic comment in India, and when l they learn the reason why, they will probably indulge in a little themselves. Tbo M.V.0., if you please, was recently bestowed on the Viceroy's head steward _ for his distinguished services in the catering line at the State .ball at Delhi, and another has fallen to a German h-otelfeeeper, who had the distinction of providing refreshments for the' Duke of Connaught on one of his tigershooting excursions. The recipients of these rewards for domestic services are, doubtless, very worthy folk in their way, but when it comes to giving them precedence over men who have distinguished themselves on; .the field of battle—well— what can onie say ? It is really very funny if you look at it in the right light, but the hum'or of the situation created by the King's decree will hardly appeal to those who risked their lives in the Empire's cause. „ MOST POPULAR BECAUSE IT IS THE ■ BEST.
