Several members of the Grey town Bowling Club will compete at the Kow Zealand tournament, which is to be held in Dunedin in January. Mr W. S. Percy, of the Williamson Comic Opera Company, left Sydney by the Marama for Vancouver. Accompanied by his wife, Mr Percy intends to tour through Canada and America on his way to London. Paris. Berlin, and Vienna. ‘ I am going away for a holiday, and nothing move.” ho said. ‘ This is the first holiday I have had in my life. For the past 20 years I have been With the Williamson Company, and desire to see the men and women at the top of the tree of my profession in other countries. 1 expect to bo back on the Australasian stage in 12 months. I specially want to see the London pantomimes.” A “ hold-up ” on the Tauranga wharf during unloading operations of the steamer Ngapuhi caused some amusement. A swarm of bees, finding no resting place, > endeavoured to settle ip the spot where the cargo was being loaded on the wharf from tho hold, much to the consternation and discomfiture of tho hands engaged in handling the cargo. A local carrier essayed the task of overcoming the trouble with water from a kerosene tin, but retired with a wound on the thumb from the tin, with the bees still in possession. Finally the harbourmaster settled tho difficulty by means of a hose.
