On Wednesday July 23 some people on •the water-front in 1 imam were greatly surprised when a whale appeared at the entrance of the harbour. The huge mammal was estimated to bo about 30ft long, and was making straight for the harbour, bufc the noise of the dredge frightened it, and it turned about and made for the open sea. Some anglers who were fishing from the wall received a shock when the monster appeared right in front of them. In a reference to the vacant Bishopric of Auckland, the Auckland Star says that there is in some cpiarters a strong feeling in support of the selection of a suttab.e man amongst the clergv in New Zealand, efipeci.,ll v :,s the diocese does not offer more than. £I2OO a year, which is not sufficient to attract the' best men in Australia or abroad, and that some surety of permanency in the appointment would he gained by securing the services of a man familiar with the local conditions.
