TOWN & COUNTRY

Tha. medals won by the 'Timaru Marine Band are on view to-day in the shop window of the band's president, Mr F. G. Watson.

The professional board of Victoria College has decided to nominate C4ilbert Vere Rhodes as the New Zealand Rhodes scholar for 1908.

The Timaru High School Board announce that the new boarding establishment will be opened at the beginning of next year. Pupils are now being enrolled by Mr Simmers, the headmaster, who is to have charge of the boardinghouse. Timaru with its salubrious climate, its attractive bay and harbour, its bathing facilities, and its numerous recreation grounds should be an ideal town for a boys' boarding school. . Word has been received that the entries for the Temuka Bicycle Club T s sports are very satisfactory, and no doubt this will be the means_ of a first rate day's sporton Monday. The programme includes all kinds of events, and without doubt there is sufficient to please everyone. Ths Railway Department have arranged specially cheap fares, and as the first event is. timed for 1.10 p.m., this should suit the townspeople to travel by the mid-day train. Given a. fine day there will be a very large attendance at these popular sports. BUSINESS NOTICES. Special attention is directed to the notice by Mr Kirby that lie has taken over Mr Whittaker's boot store. The latter is a landmark in Timaru, for both old and young to meet upon; and in addition is most convenient to the main travelling thoroughfares. Mr Kirby will walk in the footpaths of his predecessor, keep goods that will be within the reach of all purses and boots and shoes of the best colonial and English manufacture.

It will thui> be seen that the return for the initial outlay is considerable. Limerick No. 1 on page 6. ...

Messrs J. E. Hurdley and G. Clayton, who went away together on a tour of the Old Country have returned lii Timaru looking much the better for their trip. Mr Hurdley states that he is tired of travelling and glad to be hack in Till! aril.

The last full-dress rehearsal for the. Empire carnival took place at the Thill Hall last evening. It was a brilliant spectacle, and reflected the greatest credit on both masters and pupils. A number of willing hands have been doing yeoman service in the erection of stalls and general decorations, and when the stallholders have completed the arrangement of their wares the hall should present a very attractive appearance. The inter-club rowing race, Oamaru v. Timaru. which is to be rowed at the sister town on Monday, is being looked forward to with the keenest- interest. Each Club reckon that they never liad better crews, and that the" members of the crews have put iu such hard practice that a great struggle will result. The Timaru men put in some fine work last night, and will have their final spins today. They are very fit, and keen as their oar blades.

The usual weekly meeting of the Life Boat Lodge. No. 101. 1.0. G.T., was held last evening, the P.C.T., Bro. Williams in the chair. The L-D/ installed Sister Sadler as C.T. for the ensuing quarter, and Bro.' Sehwind as sentinel, the duties of installing marshal being carried out by Sister Horgan. The committee appointed to arrange for opening a juveniie temple reported that they had met with much success, and that the temple would be instituted next Friday evening. The Lodge earnestly invites all parents to send along their children to be trained in the noble principles of the order. The hours of the meeting will be from 6.50 to 7.15. The Lodge heartily invites all parents to be present next'week at the institution. to see how pure the influence of the temple is. The.new officers whose duty it was to entertain the Lodge carried it out in a most creditable manner. Songs and musical items were given by Sisters. Lenniei Reilly, and Downward, and Brothers Williams, Hawkey, and Mucbmore. A dialogue, entitled, 'Pride-and Poverty, was well given by Sisters Berry and Lennie, Brothers" Muehmore and Hawkey. Refreshments were handed round and enjoyed'by all. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the new officers for their pleasant evening. One candidate was proposed for membership after which the Lodge closed at 10 p.m. What the public realise is that they want a good suit as low as possible, yet one that will fit and keep its shape. The Morris Block is the latest idea to save the public money; you get a fit as soon as you are measured. No need to have to coma back t--\vo or three times and leave your work. Not only'is it-a saving of time but -when you consider the fact that you can get a suit for 55s upwards well there is no argument against it. Messrs W. A. Pearson and' Co., the up-to-date outfitters, ■ Stafford street, are appointed agents for the Morris Block.- ...

Do yon recognise what an advantage it is to have a supply of live steam on the farm? It means a liberal supply of boiling water for washing cans or clothes, for scalding pigs or cooking stock food, and you can secure these advantages at a very .small cost by purchasing a " New Century" Steamer. One good fire provides steam for about two hours, and can be left with perfect safety. The "New Century" combines the strong points of the ordinary portable washing copper and .the hi?h pressure steam boiler without their disadvantages. MacEwan and Co., Ltd., sole agents, Dunedin. ...

James McGowan. Acting Minit-ter of Public Works, said that the somewhat serious indisposition of the Hon. Mr Hall-Jones had for a second time imposed upon him the duty of administering the. Public Works Department. After an especially strenuous year Mr Hall Jones was suddenly seized with serious illness in May last, and on 19th July left New Zealand by the Kaipara on" a health-seeking voyage round the world. Mr Hall-Jones reached London on 26th. August, and his health had already improved. Mr McGowan was sure he was voicing the feelings of every member of the House in expressing the hope that the leave of absence which had been granted him and the temporary cessation from his assiduous devotion to duty togeftier with the entire change of scene and environment, which his long journey would secure might be the means of completely restoring him to his former health and vigour and of enabling him on his return to resume Ins duties to render the colony further years of faithful service. After a- long, exhausting illness when health is slow about returning, Stearns' Wine is always found of great, value. By gently stimulating the appetite it aids nutrition and restores strength. ...

The letter : of acknowledgment and thanks from Mr Edwards which we publish over the leader in this morning's issue will, not come as a surprise but rather as a confirmation of the fact that quality is always associated with Begg's. .;. A positive marvel, was the word used by expert motorists on Saturday after bhey had a trial run on the little two-' seated 8.10 h:p. Darracq w.hich was the first to, be- landed in the Dominion by Skeates and Bockaert, ex' s.s. Maori.; In the ilate 1000 miles Scottish reliability run this little car was the admiration of every motorist, and no' wonder; when: the one landed here was tried on Club Hill last Saturday, which it climbed on the 2nd speed or" at the rate of 12 "miles per hour. Wai-iti road was taken on the top .speed, which is considered .• by local motorists'to be a great performance. Of course it; was only to be. expected that once the largest motor works in the world designed a 2-seated runabout it would surpass anything on the road. This has, now been proved that Messrs Skeates and Bockaert, the local agents, are so satisfied with the result of these little wonders that they have cabled for 24, of the same type. . Orders are now. taken for delivery about Christmas. A free trial will be given. to any one interested. ... SYNOPSIS OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. G. P.
