INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Inglewood. April 18. Private Rupert Nicholls returned !>y the mail train on Saturday. He was wounded at Gallipoli. and' returned to New Zealand some time ago, but was not fit to leave Wellington before. The leg which was so' badly wounded has ben saved, and "Eupe" is able now to get about on crutches. A special service is to be held in St. Andrew's Church on Tuesday evening next, "Anzac Day." I understand that the Borough Council and the different Friendly Societies, ■ also the Masonic fraternity, have been invited to attend. The. vicar has made arrangements for a special choir for the occasion, and a largo attendance of the public seems quite assured. Miss Davis has been appointed assistant clerk of the Moa Road Board.

Tlie borough has just been studded with what at first sight appear to oe windmills, but on closer inspection I found that they are signboards to warn the public that the railway line is somewhere about, but one fails to see that they will serve .any purpose sufficient to warrant the expenditure.

The following is the result of the Red Cross business for the week,ending last Saturday, and it is most gratifying: Sale of grapes (Mr. G. Sutherland), ISs; sale of flowers (Miss ■Vi'ckers), Ss'; sale of flowers (Miss C. 0.
