The au, ual general meeting of the Christchurch Meat" Company will be held on 'the 28th ins'., within the offices of the company, 150 Hereford street, Christ-church. The chairman of the High School Board yesterday remarked that Fred- Hall-Jones first on u;e senior scholarship list this year, ttad been first in his classes all through his schooling.

On Saturday the staff of the Temuka District High School* accompanied by a number of their friends, had a very pleasant outing at Peel Forest, whither they were conveyed by a six-horse drag. Yester-..'u.y Captain Edwin advised as follows:—''Strong winds to gale from between noith and west and south-west, glass full agaiu soon, tides good, sea considerable, more rain probable." The crops near ripeness have came on very fast during the past few days, and a good many Jarmers" are faced with the necessity ior hurrying to get through the work ready for them, if they have any fear of nor-westers..

The chairman of the Grey and Westland Education Board reported to his colleagues lhat "as a result of the Minister's visit -to Runanga, an increased grant for levelling and gravelling has been made." Boards on this side the Alps ask for grants much too large.' Dr Bowe is expected to return to Timaru to-day* from a trip Home. Dr'Lyon, who *ook his place when- he left for England, 3-1 :es. in a few days for Christchurch, sis| ing taken the practice of Dr Cook, at Lincoln. Dr Lyon expects to remain there about six months.

Detective Bishop, of Christchurch, came to Timaru yesterday, -with a warraint. In company with Detective Fitzgerald he arrested an elderly man named Schnltz, for alleged criminal assault upon a young girl in Christchurch last week. He took his prisoner to Christchurch by the first express.

A farmer from Meremere called upon the "Hawera Star", and. quoted an instance of profitable cow keeping, which, he said, "would beat them all." The case he took was that of a Meremere farmer who' re--ceived £46 5s Id for -.he December milk of 29 cows, which works out at nearly £1 lis lid per cow. . • • Substantial evidence of what an. angler caq do with a Hardy's Favourite o*a a xxx Hardy fly cast was to be seen at Mr Francis Taskers Hardy Tackle Depot yesterday. There was on view a sp'endid 101b trout taken from the Opihi by Mr P. G. Allen on the tackle described, a reward of patient and skilful angling. His Excellency the Governor has been pleased to apprbve of the award of the Colonial Auxiliary Forces Officers Decoration to the Venerable Archdeacon Henry William Harper, M.A., Honorary Chaplain; South Canterbury Battalion of. Infantry "Volunteers, he having a total commissioned service of over twenty years. Mr McKenzie, chairman of the' North Auckland Charitable Aid Board, has reported .on the [Northern Wairoa: hospital. He scathingly criticised the present subscribers' system, and upheld the Medical Officers' Board. He has suggested: a conference at Dargaville or at Aratapu of three Board members, and three- hospital trustees with the chairman of the Auckland Board as president. A permanent school of telegraphy for cadets was opened at Oamaru yesterday under Mr P. Bevan. The class consists of twenty-on? learners from all over the colony, and more are to arrive. It is expected that the course will last about two months, when other cadets will take the places of the present students. It is expected that the school will .be kept busy all the year round in iroomis in the post office buildings. The Wanganui Education Board (according to the "Chronicle")■ has taken a lead in the colony in the matter of single desks, the Queen's Park school having been furnished many months ago with single desks in three rooms, while the contractor in Wanganui has furnished the new school at Terrace End in the same way. The- new school at Foxton is to be similarly, equipped, and the Board intends to. introduce the gradually throughout the district.

The ratepayers of the Borough of Hamilton have approved, by a poll, of the Borough Council's proposals to raise loans for various purposes, viz.i to purchase the gas works £12,000- to erect a steel bridge over the Waikato to replace the presentwooden one, £12,000; street formation -works, £13,000; sewerage of part of Hamilton, £SOOO j and extension of water works, £SOOO. Proposals to borrow £6500 to construct a steam tramway to the railway junction, and £350 to buy a recreation ground, were rejected.

A large part of women's suffering comes from headache. No matter what the cause the cure is always found in Steam's Headache Cure which is tasteless, easy to take, and acts promptly....

THE WINCHESTER INSTITUTE. The annual meeting of members of the Winchester Mechanics' Institute -was lield «n Friday last. There -was a moderate attendance of subscribers. Mr W. DeRsnzy was voted to the chair. The report showed that during the past year 1737 books were issued, returned, or ac-, co-mitei f or j n t jje i, oO k register, and 47' ■r.f.w boots added to the library, the Govemment subsidy of £6 19s 8d being devoted to, this purpose. An addition was uiace to the building for the accommodation of books, at a cost of £l7. The work was done in a satisfactory manner bv Mr T). Mclnnis. There still'-remained £2 -standing against-this account. At the

close of 1905 all necessary documents duly audited by Mr Firman were forwarded to Wellington. The balance sheet showed a credit of. 10s, with liabilities £4 5s sd. Outstanding subscriptions amount to £8 ss, many of the amounts being considerably overdue. The Institute had suffered a severe lose in the death of Mr D. McCaskill. The report and balance sheets were adopted and carried unanimously. Hearty votes of thanks were passed to the outgoing committee, including the chairman and hon. secretary and hon. treasurer. It was proposed by Mr J. Opie, seconded by Mr W. Harrison and carried, that the incoming committee pay attention to the purchase of periodicals, the " Scientific American" to be first on turn when any other books were ordered. A new committee was elected, viz.—Messrs J. P. Kalaugher, R. Young, A. Opie, W. Harrison, A. Ensor, A. H. Crosbie, and S. J. Hitchen, the three latter accepting office as chairman, hon. secretary, and hon. treasurer (at a subsequent meeting of the committee). A vote of thanks to Mr DeRe'nzy as chairman of the meeting brought j it to a close.. • A " HOWLER." • The examiner in History for the Timaru High School Board, in his report to the Board quoted ctoe answer he received, with the remark that as a "howler," it would be hard to beat:—"The letters of Junius were poems supposed to be written by. Caedmon, one of the early English writers.. They were found' in Amsterdam by Archbishop Ussher. They were printed! by a Frenchman named Junius." Archdeacon Harper said the examiner should not have asked such a question, and} he thought the answer showed a good deal of ingenuity. "Junius" had always been a, riddle, aiid an examiner should let the subject alone. Examiners often seemed to put- questions to find out what boys did not know, not what they did know. Mr Barclay said that " Junius" is mentioned in the literary histories, and school boys should therefore have some idea about him; butj in. this answer the boy had not approached him at a single point.' Archdeacon Harper repeated that the ' question should not have beet? put. SYNOPSIS OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. J. B. Rutland—Large sale of furniture to-morrow.
