Tiie spectacle of two vessels stuck in the river fairway between Foxtou and the sea was to be seen on Tuesday. The m.v. Foxtan crossed the bar on Tuesday night and stuck first a short distance from the wharf. The Hnauiil came in on Wednesday and grounded twice. The trouble is due to silting up from recent freshes in tho river. The Harbor Board is considering a scheme for scarifying the bottom of the river to shift the silt bars.

Davy, chief executive officer of tho Democrat Political Organisation,, says: “In view of the fact that the chances of tho various political parties are, being freely discussed in the Press, and that ali sorts of rumors are current regarding the Democrat Party, my executive has authorised me to make an official -state-, meat. Our political opponents have sought to damage us at every opportunity, and a strong intensive whispering campaign was instituted sorno time ago. HoweVer, these efforts have all failed miserably—in fact, (hey merely served to advertise tile party. We have made very rapid progress indeed. A meeting of all candidates has been called for the second week in August. Thus, within the next few weeks, we shall be ready to give'the -pubic'the full details of the Democrat Party.”
