The rose exhibited by Mr C. Parsons, which was awarded the championship and the rose bowl at the show, was a fine specimen of the variety known as Mrs Wallace H. Rowe. A man named Thomas Patrick Kavanagh was arrested yesterday in the Tourist Domain for using obscene language and bein drunk. He appeared before Messrs R. Coulter and W. T. W. Hughes, J.’sP. On the obscene language charge he was fined £lO or in default one month, and being his second offence for drunkenness was fined £1 in default 7 days. “Aussie’s” double Xmas number is just to hand, giving a foretaste of the glad care-free holiday times that will be here in a few weeks. This issue is a very fine one and about the best that “Aussie” has given us in its four years of cheerfulness. Every writer and artist of note in Australia and New Zealand is represented in the glad riot of mirth that runs through its 84 pages.

The funeral of the late Mr Lewis Horn took place yesterday afternoon, leaving the railway station for the Te Aroha cemetery, and was largely attended. The late Mr Horn, who was employed at Messrs Wilson and Canham’s Te Aroha branch, was a very popular citizen, being a keen follower of football in the district, and will be greatly missed. He leaves a wife and large family to mourn his loss. t
