The refusal of Mr. Baildon, Mayor of Auckland, to submit his candidature to aribtration in the coming Mayoral election was considered by meetings of the citizens’ progressive election committee. In view of Mr. Baildon’s attitude, the committee decided to reaffirm its confidence in Mr. J. Warnock, deputy-mayor, the nominee of the committee. Thia means that there will be at least four candidates in the field. Messrs. Baildon and Warnock will split the vote which would have gone to cither one of them had the other retired. Mr. T. Bloodworth (Labour) will have a strong following, but Mr. H. Schmidt is expected to poll very few votes (states an Auckland correspondent). “Please don’t thing that New Zealand is the only country which is feeling a slight depression,” said the Prime Minister while in the South Island. “Almost all countries are feeling it, and this I have gathered from personal observation. Nowhere else have I seen such vitality, keenness and intelligence in children as in New Zealand. This is only a small matter, but it is a hopeful indication for the future.”

It was stated recently (says an exchange) that tobacco had been grown and manufactured on a commercial scale in New Z land for about 12 years, but an old resident, born in the Wairarapa, has recalled that a small crop, about an eighth of an acre, was grown at Greytown in 1883 by Messrs. John Fuller and George Sayer. They built a shed and secured a good crop, which they picked and dried, storing it in the shed, but they were never able to find a market for it. Two or three years later, Mr. Samuel Haigh, one of the oldest inhabitants in the Wairarapa, also grew a small crop, securing the plants from Matarawa. The plants matured, reaching a height approaching six feet. This also was dried, gathered aid stored away, but again no market could be found for it, and much of the leaf was used for hen’s nests, bedding, etc. Much interest is being evinced jmongst residents adjacent to Hurworth Hall at the ingleside to be held by the Caledonian Society next Saturday evening A firatclaas dance programme of modern, oldtime and Scottish dances has been drawn up, while the supper arrangements are in capable hands.
