The Steanier Tasman. — Owing to continued illhealth it has become necessary for Mr J. C. Burford to give up active business, and yesterday his Trustees sold the steamship Tasman. to the Anchor Shipping Company.

The Tasman will commence running for her new owners on her return from Wellington to-morrow. The friends of Mr Burford will deeply regret his illhealth but we hope that with complete rest for a while Mr Buiford may soon be about again Correction.— lt was stated in yesterdays issue that the debt on St John's Methodist Church had been liquidated.

The functions organised by the College Did Boys' Association were a great success, especially the gathering on Saturday evening, which was a brilliant affair. Mrs Mnmbies, who was present for a short time, was charmed with the youth and beauty. She said : ' Lor bless yer, it wa? a toney and bigh-olause turnout. The ladies and the dresses were fetohing, they knocked out the best as was to be Been at me Aqrioultooral Show! and me, on; bavin 1 a plain grey skirt with a high neck, was fairly crowded oat didn't have a danoe or a feed with such high sasslety . I peaped in the Assembly Hall ; there was some toff chairs and sofiag, whiob. I knew must have oome ir in Bill Look's." There is no doubt that Look's is one of tbe most up-to-date tarnishing warehouses in the Colony. Mi Lock is a manufacturer and direct importer and, besides the wide choice given, hie prices are the lowest, and his terms tbe easiest.
