The result of the Quickstep Competition at the Brass Bands Contest yesterday will be found in another column. Waimate was well up. but Timaru Garrison, contrary to expectation, was hopelessly beaten, and the news was received with a good deal of disappointment here. Taking a line from “points on music ”■ we anticipate that Invercargill Garrison will be well at the head of affairs in the contest pieces, and we look to this band, Oamaru Garrison, or Wellington Garrison, to furnish the winners. The ordinary monthly meeting of the Waimate Library Committee was held at | the Library Hall on Tuesday evening last. Mr W. J. Black occupied the chair. Messrs Cochrane, Graham, Guy, and Hamilton were appointed a committee to look over the books, with a view to disposing of some of the old ones, and replacing them with up to date literature. The secretary was directed to write to political candidates, telling them the price for which the hall would be let for holding political meetings in. Mr G. H. Graham was instructed to wait upon the County Council, with the object of asking that body to consider the institution. The bazaar question was considered, and it was resolved to take no steps in the meantime. Accounts amounting to £l2 were passed for payment. Christchurch Press says: “Messrs Gawne and Co. have favoured us with samples of their Worcestershire Sauce. Its flavour is as good as- its piquancy s pronounced. It is altogether a well balanced relish.”—[Advt.l The Woodbury Domain Board met on Saturday last. Present —Messrs Thatcher (chairman), Morrison, Wooding and Cormack. The chairman stated that he found the swimming bath had been damaged in one or two places by boys getting in and out, and so breaking off the plaster; also,; by throwing in stones and in other ways. He also reported having had the cover of the discharge pipe painted, and 9ft of extra piping laid down, both of which items were approved. Letters were read from Mr Shiers with reference to his final inspection of the concrete work of the bath, and to the satisfactory manner in which the contract had been carried out. The following motion was passed with a view of checking the practices noticed by the chairman—“ That the public be warned against any interference with the bath by letting in water, disturbing the plugs, throwing in stones, or in any way likely 'to damage the work.” The secretary was instructed to request Mr Shiers to draw up specifications for fencing the bath with iron, six feet high. Accounts to the amount of £35 18s 6d were passed. Dr A. S. Roberts, La Cygne, Kansasj writes :—“I use Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract in disorders of the respiratory tract, diptheria, dysentery, etc. It is a favourite drug with me, and Sander and Sons’ preparation is the desiratum long wished for, the other different preparations of the drug being anything '-but ; satisfactory.” on getting Sanders and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract or you will be supplied with worthless oils.—[Advt.]
