“SALTY FLAVOUR’’ IN COURT

TAILURE OF A NATIVE'S CLAIM. CRAFT ABANDONED ON BEACH. A marine atmosphere and a salty flavour permeated proceedings in the Hawera Court before Mr. J. S. Barton, S.M., yesterday, when evidence was directed to the seaworthiness of a 19ft. whale boat now lying abandoned on the beach near Whenuakura by Rongonui, the native owner, who claimed £45 from Charles Johnston, of Hawera, the builder of that craft and over 20 others in the past half century, alleging that there were many defects. After hearing seven hours’ evidence Mr. Barton gave judgment for the defendant, holding that the vessel was up to the standard contemplated when the contract had been made. Mr. P. O'Dea appeared for defendant and Mr. T. R. Roberts for the native plaintiff. Traditions of the sea, in the building and management of sea fishing, surf and other boats, and the counters of stresses and strains encountered in active use led to the presence in court of two model whale boats of graceful lines, two feet and four feet in length. Round them, their thwarts, gunwhales, ribs, keel, planking and timbers centred a tide of evidence generally unanimous but conflicting upon the particular point as to whether an “apron piece,” as an additional strengthening timber in the inside of the stem to combat strain near the cut water, was used in common practice as an indispensible hallmark of craftsmanship and design. GLIMPSES OF BOYHOOD DAYS. Those who had gone down to the sea in ships, fished on stormy waters, built seaworthy boats, or merely repaired them or fondled models on shore were summoned to offer their experiences. A retired sea captain was amongst them. Weight of evidence was that generally apron pieces were not used. Glimpses of defendant’s boyhood days Were eoaxed by counsel in cross-examin-ation. In the Shetland Islands, up to the age of 16, deefndant had built models of boats and had had experience of watching the procedure adopted in the shipyards in Shetland. Coming to New Zealand at the age of 16, witness had built his first boat when 18. He had learned in New Plymouth in the old surf boat days. His structures had always given satisfaction. No adverse criticism had been received. Twenty or thirty vessels had been fashioned by him, including a 30-footer for one Williamson, of New Plymouth, which, until wrecked, traded between Mokau and New Plymouth. Over fifty years’ experience was held by witness. One vessel over 20 years of age was still being used by a Maori chief at the Tongahoe. He was a man who used to care for the old canoes. The wider the planking of the boats, considered witness, the stronger and greater the resiliency. Narrow planking made the vessel stiffer and offered less resistance, while wider planking resulted in a “give” to a heavy sea. “If a boat is properly built should she start from a heavy sea?” asked the magistrate.—“No, I don’t think so.” DEMONSTRATION IN COURT. Three solid ribs were riveted to the plankings fore and aft, said witness. Auckland and other boats he had seen seemed to use bent ribs and not timber cut into shape. In Shetland no bent ribs were used except in dingies. In the boat in dispute there were solid kauri ribs attached by screws to the keel and riveted and nailed to the plankings. A demons!ration u[On the Afoot model whale boat was given by witness, who stood on one end with the clerk of the court upon the other as though on a see-saw. The weight of the two men did not result in any disaster. During an inspection of the boat at the beach witness’ counsel had asked plaintiff if the Ijoat leaked, and the reply had been tliat it did not. “Do you think the native was serious when he answered that the boat did not leak?” asked Mr. Roberts. 1 —“ Of course he was serious.” "You do not think he meant that it did not leak because it was on the beach?” —“That is nonsense.” Evidence that the yellow pine, rlmu and kauri used in the construction was first-class timber was given by Thomas William J. Howell, who had seen the building of the vessel at different times. He had inspected the craft after complaint and had found no sign of worm holes, and in his opinion the vessel was staunch and seaworthy. SEA CAPTAIN'S VIEWS. A boat built by a previous expert witness in Wanganui for a Mr. Milne had had to be chopped up for firewood. Defendant was a good boat-builder, and for honesty of workmanship no one could go past him, said Leonard Frederick Dowling, of Wanganui. He did not like to see a boat built which did not at first leak, because the swelling and strain, if there were no leak, would result in the bursting of rivets. A retired sea captain, Alexander Martin Crighton, of 26 years’ experience, deposed to having paid many visits of inspection while defendant was making the craft in dispute. There were no worm-eaten planks or timber. It had been a good, honestly built boat with no “scamp” work in it. An apron piece, but only “to keep the dust out of the stem inside” had been all that witness had heard about. He had never heard of a solid apron piece. The main claim had at first been “worm holes,” said Mr. Barton, in giving judgment, and another complaint had been that white pine had been used. The latter had been withdrawn and a good deal of conflict had resulted on the worm holes. After first complaining and requesting defendant to inspect it, paint had been plastered over the hull and only one hole had been found. The complaint had shifted from the first to the second charges after experts had inspected the boat and a new substituted ground of attack had been raised.

RECORD BULL SALE

BEST SINCE THE SLUMP. SUCCESS OF HAWERA CLUB. Held at the Farmers’ Co-operative Organisation Society’s yards, Hawera, yesterday, the annual sale of the Hawera Jersey Cattle Club was considered one of the most - successful since the slump. Exceptionally high prices were received and the yarding of between 70 and 80 animals sold at an average price of about 30 guineas. The bulls were in splendid condition and only about five failed to pass the inspection committee. In the actual sale a similar number was passed, so it may be claimed that the auctioneers (Messrs E. G. Trotter and W. F. Wooffindin), on behalf of the F.C.0.5., Ltd., and Wright Stephenson and Co., Ltd.), created a record. The buyers, who were present in large numbers, hailed from as far away as Richmond (Nelson), the Wairarapa, Waikato and Hawke’s Bay. The top price of 62J guineas was paid for Inshamph Loyalist, by W.

“A MUSICAL FEAST.’’

COMBINED SCHOOL ORCHESTRAS. LARGE AUDIENCE CAPTIVATED. Wonderful! An enthusiastic crowd issued from the Hawerra Opera House on Tuesday night, many with this expression on their lips. There had been some engaging song solos and some delightful instrumental novelties, but, without being unkind to the artists responsible for these, it may be said that the term was generally applied to the efforts of the combined orchestras of the Hawera High and Main Schools.

Fifty players, from the youngster of eight to the youth of eighteen, tackled with professional assurance complicated waltzes, marches, and general selections, works of the world’s greatest composers. They tackled them triumphantly, for, unlike the unlovely discord that often results from over-ambitious efforts, their rendering were almost perfect. Occasionally a violin rasped half a tone low or another instrument missed the time by tlie fraction of a beat, but these errors were notably few. They were generally a well balanced, toneful company who could as boldly render a brilliant, moving overture as they could softly accompany a solo number. Such was the result of the training given by their conductor, Mr. H. C. A. Fox, who had spent a great deal of time with the children.

The march, “The Laurel Branch” (Rollinson) and the overture “The Spirit of the Winds” (Bennet) formed an excellent opening to the performance. “Gems from Maritana,” that wellknown and popular selection composed by Wallace, w T as specially applauded, an enthusiasm that was also shown in the plantation patrol “Ole South” (Zamencirk). The latter which is, in reality, a musical switch embracing many of the old favourite plantation- songs, was one of the most successful items of the entertainment. Other works rendered included “Manrico” (Luscomb) and the waltz “Ildica” (Rollinson), the latter forming an appropriate finale. Though the standard of playing and the wide choice of subject made the orchestral items in themselves an entertertainment well worth while, the finishing touches were provided by the several assisting artistes. Madame Veta Cornwall, of New Plymouth, added to her reputation of being a beautiful soprano by her interpretations of, amongst others, “Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark” (Bishop), and “The Valley of Laughter” (Sanderson). Madame’s mastery of the higher notes was superb, while her - vivaciousness made her very popular.

Whether the piece bo plaintive and sad, or whether it be possessed of the most rollicking humour, Miss Maisie Instone as an elocutionist seems naturally able to cope with it -without the slightest trouble. The scenes of entreaty, supplication, passion and pride contained in “The Trial of Joan of Arc” were as well characterised as the humorous situations in the musical monologue “House Hunting.” A feature of the concert that will long be remembered- was the brisk, syncopating xylophone novelty played by Mr. Rupert George, of New Plymouth. His complete control of the instrument placed Mr. George amongst the front rankers as far as the xylophone is concerned. He also rendered “Little Marie” (Bennet) in company with the orchestra. Another of Mr. George’s successes was his stroll viol solo “Scherzo Tarantelle” (Wieniawski), his playing calling for several encores. Mr. George, with a banjo, also accompanied the orchestra through “Baron Munchausen” (Gruenwald). An enjoyable baritone, Mr. H. Ackroyd, rendered “Mountain Lovers” (Squire) and “A Castilian Lament” in delightful fashion. Mr. Ackroyd has the art of easily adapting himself to his subject, this' being particularly evidenced in the latter piece. Throughout the evening Miss D. Joll very successfully filled the position of aceompaniste. Mr. J. Carter played a Hute obligato to Madame Veta Cornwall's rendering of “Lo, Hear the Gentle Lark.”

At the conclusion of the concert, Mr. J. W. Harding, chairman of the Main School Committee, and a member of the High School Board, in extending thanks i to the public for their patronage, touchfed on the possibilities of broadcasting the orchestra. There would be a difficulty in getting the children to either IYA or 2YA, but perhaps an arrangement could be made with the Railway Department. Mr. Harding considered tiie people of Hawera were well educated in music, and he considered the work of the children was marvellous. It was hoped that some would blossom forth as musicians and bring names to both the schools. NOTABLE EVENT AT OPERA HOUSE The presentation of a Douglas Fairbanks film has come to be regarded by picturegoers as a notable event, and the great interest taken in his latest production, “The Gaucho,” was shown by the crowded audience attracted to the Opera House last evening at its initial screening. The story opens in a wild, mountainous region in the Andes, where a shrine visited by thousands of pilgrims has been set up as the result of miraculous cures. Over it preside an aged priest and a beautiful girl, a semimystic possessed of the power to heal. The shrine prospers until its wealth attracts the avarice of Ruiz, the cruel usurper who holds the country underhis iron despotism. He sends soldiers to seize the city. At the same time a band of gauchos, or riders of the pampas, under the leadership of a daring chief, known all over the country for his courage, rides over the mountains in search of plunder. They are joined on the way by a wild, untamed mountain girl, whose fire and beauty attract the leader. They reach the city as the soldiers are taking possession and oppressing the defenceles townsfolk. By his personal daring the bandit chief forces the commander of the troops to yield the city to his gauchos, who enter and hold high revelry. At the height of his triumph he is betrayed by a treacherous lieutenant, who dismisses the band with a fictitious message, and he is cast into prison. The mountain girl, who has become jealous of the attention he has given to the girl of the shrine, then summons the band to his aid. “The Gaucho” will be finally screened to-night. PECULIAR MAINTENANCE CASE. CANCELLATION DEFERRE D. The peculiar position of a prior dcIfendant in maintenance proceedings ap- . plying for cancellation of an order on account of his wife's death was placed

before Mr. J. S. Barton, S.M., yesterday. The husband had been ordered to pay maintenance of 15s a week for the benefit of his child r* the suit of the wife. The death of the wife at Auckland led to application and the appearance of but one party. Mr. Barton considered that with only one party before him he could not cancel the existing order. The will of the wife, with the possibility of provision for guardianship, was not known and death of one of the parties did not end the matter. Mr. Barton agreed it was desirable that cancellation of the order should bo made as the husband was leaving Hawera and setting up a homo for himself ■•■nd the child. , It was arranged that the magistrate I should consider the matter and, as soon as he was satisfied, he would do what lie could in the circumstances, probably without the need of the husband again attending court. MINIATURE RIFLE CLUB. The senior buttons shoot in the Hawera Miniature Rifle Club’s internal competitions were held on Tuesday night, the results being:— Men.—C. Arnold 50, L. Uttinger 49, G. Harding 48. Ladies.—Mrs. F. Rae 47, Miss J. Rae 47. As neither of the ladies fired off for the button it will be open for shooting again on Tueday next. The teams buttons shoot is causing great interest just now and no fewer than five teams have to shoot on Friday night. The competitors’ names are given below, the holders being mentioned first:— A. Elgar, Miss T. Ingram, Douglas Buist, Audrey Harding; P. Petersen, Mrs. Rae, James Buist, Betty Stevens; G. Harding, Miss J. Rae, A. Wright, B. Watts; C. Arnold, Mrs. Veitch, R. Allan, Kathleen Petersen; E. Booth, Miss E. Rae, J. Clapham, Jack Tapp. The first round of the championship team shoot must close on Friday, October 12. Those who have not yet fired must make an effort to do so or they will be replaced. GENERAL ITEMo. ’ “No, it was a big hole; an indenture you could almost see with your eyes shut,” so declared a witness in the Magistrate’s Court yeterday in a case in which worm holes and craftsmanship in boatbuilding were the issue. Pressed further as to worm holes, witness said he was prepared to go to the beach and cut out any one of the planks of the vessel in dispute and if there was one worm or worm hole found in it he was prapared to repair the boat and take it himself. “Will that suit you?” asked witness of counsel as he left the box. No answer - came. The new passenger train, Wanganui to New Plymouth, was delayed for a considerable time yesterday morning through the railway telegraph lines being blown down beyond Manutahi. Railway officials were unable to work the tablets and pilot guards were instituted. The train, which was due at 11.2 a.m., did not arrive until 11.45. Repairs were completed during the day and trains ran to schedule time. “We are not talking about designing! What has designing got to do with the case?” flamed a witness in a court case at Hawera yesterday, under cross-exam-ination as to the worth of a boat. “There are as many designs as stars!” he concluded in crescendo as he left the box.

A fawn runner duck entered in the Taranaki egg-laying competition has laid continuously 153 eggs in 151 days and is still going strong. “My technical knowledge of boats is very little,” confided Mr. P. O'Dea to the bench in court yesterday, during an awkward moment, when counsel had called certain parts of a model, “these things,” “My technical knowledge is little better,” returned Mr. Barton. A slight improvement in the condition of Mr. N. C. Innes, Manaia, was reported yesterday, but the state of his health is still critical. Before Mr. J. S. Barton, S.M., in the Ilawera Court yesterday, judgment and costs for plaintiff by default was given on the following undefended civil claim: J. Byrne v. John W. Willis, £43 15s 7d. In undefended judgment summons proceedings, C. J. Roberts was ordered to pay £l3 17s forthwith to J. W. Chalk, of Reefton, and £1 Is solicitor’s fee, in default 15 days’ imprisonment. Mr. A. Lees, Okaiawa, who sustained an injury tp his leg several days ago, is making progress towards recovery, but I be is still confined to his home. Messrs. McCay and Laurenson draw attention to a South Taranaki farm which should appeal to those requiring a first-class property on easy terms. Traditions and customs are every day being thrown to the wind by the introduction of up-to-date and scientific appliances. In every walk of life things of yesterday ars continually being scrapped, their places filled with modern devices. In common with the general progress the modern homo has seen many revolutionary changes, chief among these being the introduction of cooking by electricity. Thos> who are contemplating electrical equipment for cooking and other household uses cannot do better than give a call and inspect the display of the Hawera County Electric Company, Union Street, Hawera. Attention is drawn to special ranges and fittings, while the cost is said to bo only 2d per unit.
