In connection with the Ranfurly Shield Football match, Southland versus Canterbury, the Railway Department advertise in this issue particulars of train arrangements, etc. Besides offering a quick journey at a fare which works out at the unusually cheap rate of less than Jd per mile, warm steam heated carriages with a comfortable high back chair seat for everybody will be available. Of course these arrangements call for a limitation in the size of trains and intending passengers are therefore advised to reserve early if they desire to secure a seat as the opportunity of visiting Christchurch under such ideal conditions and at such a low fare is not likely to recur.—Advt.

To be thrown from a cage while crossing a river into a raging torrent below was the unenviable experience last week of Mr W. Matamoa, his sister (Mrs Lewis Kapene), and her two small children, and a woman friend. The party was crossing the Waikaretaheke River at a point near Waikaremoana, in a home-made cage when the wire in which it was suspended broke, all the occupants being precipitated into the water. Fortunately the crash was heard by Mr Kapene, who was in a house nearby, and he promptly rushed into the river and rescued the two children, one of whom was only a baby in arms. The adults managed to scramble ashore without assistance. Had it not been for the presence of Mr Kapene there would have been .only a remote possibility of the children escaping.
