A reminder is given of the social being held by the fire brigade 111 the Criterion Theatre this evening. The attractions are progressive euchre and dancing, and, of course, the inevitable supper.

The Thames County Council at its meeting yesterday decided to ask the Prime Minister and the Minister of Public Works to visit Thames when they are making a tour of this part of the Dominion.

An excellent programme of pictures was shown before a large and appreciative audience at the Criterion Theatre last evening. Mr Montgomery has been giving his patrons some rare treats in the way oi pictures lately', and is to be congratulated on his enterprise. The picture that excited most interest among the masculine portion of the audience last night was the one which portrayed the Japanese methods of wrestling. The various dramas and scemes were well worthy of praise, whiie the comics were such as made it difficult ior the spectators to restrain their mirth.

Dogs that go to church, and owners who refuse to admit ownership of their canines when the latter are within the sanctuary, received short shritt at the hands of the Rev. Mr Colville in St. Mary's Church, New Plymouth, last Sunday. Just prior to commencing his sermon, he remarked that he had an unusual announcement to make, which might perhaps cause some to smile. All knew, he went onto say, that the dog" was a very lovable animal—outside of church. His presence in God's house, however, did not make for reverence. Proceeding, Mr Colville exhorted his congregation to do their best to see that their dogs did not come to church. If they did enter the building, then he wished owners to kindly accept the responsibility of their charges and forthwith to conduct them outside, "Do not," he enjoined on those present, " leave it to somebody else."
