AUSTRALIAN STARS IN WELLINGTON. (Per Press Association.i WELLINGTON, last night. The Australian tennis stars will be seen in action to-morrow at Wellington. Anderson will be partnered by Noel Wi 1 - son, a promising local boy, in a contest with Oltivier, of Canterbury, the New Zealand singles champion, and Andrews, of Palmerston North. In the afternoon Anderson will play exhibition singles against Ollivier and Andrews. The shaking which the Tahiti received during the last few days lias made the Australian ladies disinclined to play in singles, hence only doubles will be played. The ladies engaged' against the New Zea landers are : Miss Boyd, last year’s Victorian champion, who is playing first in the team; Mrs Harper (Miss Sylvia Lance), last year’s Australasian champion ; and Miss Boyd', the present Australasian champion.

“We Britons depend on the sea for our daily existence,” remarked Mr J. .1. Dougall, president of the Canterbury branch of the -Navy League at Christchurch. ‘.‘There is a great necessity at the present time of impressing on the people of the Empire the need to fear God and honor the Navy. That should be instilled into the hearts of the children, and the men and women, too. There is a section growing amongst us—a very small section, I hope—which neither fears God nor honors the King.”
