Scott.' " Tho Mayor, accompanied by the borough overseer, visited Kaitaratahi this morning.- The locomotive crane that is being supplied by Messrs Chambers and Son has been re-erected, and is now m working order, and was given ;i preliminary trial run with satisfactory results. The official trial will be given to-morrow, when a local engineer will go out to inspect the machine, and see that there are no defects m consequence of the recent accident. The members of tho Works Committee of the Council will have an opportunity of being .present. Both of the important proposals .carried at the Borough Council meeting lastnight respecting the changes m the working and management of the abattoirs and tho confirmation of the agreement entered into by a former Council with the Cook County Council m regard to the supply <>f Patutahi stone, will require to be reviewed by the Council jat its next meeting. Cr Darton submitted a notice of motion to rescind whit had been decided regarding the abattoirs, ■whilst Cr Harris submitted a similar motion concerning the tramway proposals. With reference to the report of the remarks made by the local Dental Association to the 'Hon. James CUrroll on the subject of unqualified practitioners, it is only fair to state that it does not follow that a person describing himself as an "extracting specialist" is, therefore, unqualified. For example, m Uisborne Mr Harold Oato, who is a qualified and registered dental surgeon, employs the^ term "extracting specialist," jind it would be unfair to tiim that the lemarks made should be understood as applying to him, or indeedi to any other duly qualified dentist. At tho Police Court to-day Mr L. T. Burnard appeared for the accused McConvillo. charged with procuring liquor, and entered a plea'of not guilty. — Const. Scott gave evidence. — His Worship said he was [satisfied the case had been proved. He had ruled before that the fact nf a person being found drunk was sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction. ■ — Mr Barnard urged that an opportunity should be given accused to go to his uncle's farm m Otago. — His Worship said he would deal with accused m a different- way, and would suspend sentence. Accused would be bound over himself m £10, and one surety of £10, to come up for sentence when called upon. Final arrangements are about completed for the complimentary concert at His Majesty's Theatre on Friday evening. Madame Casier arrived from Auckland to-day, and music-lovers will be delighted Avith her choice of songs, which will includie "April Morn," <4Carissima," Gounod's "Aye Maria," and (loiinod's ''Serenade," with harp, violin, flute, and organ accompaniment, for which Madame was recalled four times last week m Auckland. Te Rangi Pai bus chosen two exquisite songs, namely, "If Thou Must Love" and ''Shoheen Sho Lo" (an Irish Lullaby), which will be greatly appreciated, and Mrs Phil Barry is to sing the newest song, entitled "The Nuijj the Angels Sing." About 60 performers will take part m the entertain-, ment. A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnised at the Holy Trinity Church this afternoon when Mr Oswald Burns, of Christchurch, was united m wedlock to Miss Rose M. Bcere, fourth daughter of Mr G. A. Beere, Gisßorne. The Rev. F. W. Chatterton was the officiating clergyman, and Mr M. L. Foster presided at the organ.
