The Caledonian Society have granted it tease of their grounds and grand-stand (or Labour Day to the band contest committee. The directors of the Society decided not to hold any sports on that day. considering that a reasonable but assured rent was better than a matical profit from) a sports meeting. The grounds were granted on condition that the content i_«tmuiute- supply all labour in putting then* in order. Mr C. K. Hassell wishes to explain that in suggesting at the meeting of the Acclimation,, ton Society on Thursday last, several planet for putting down "strokehauling." wh.ni he mentioned restricting the river to fty-tiihing only, lie had no idea of advocating this plan. He merely mtntioned it as on;' of th>? plan* that had been talked of. It would be a good suggestion if it we re practicable, but,.it w'tiold not be- practicable in The 1 casj of, the Opihi. though it appears to suit some of the North Island rivers. As- a Hyrj'eher he would prefer it. but it . would cut out many anglers who were not nyfishers; therefore lift would not think «f advocating it. And as. a ny-tisher. when the river way dirty, he had to W*e the minnow. * -

A meeting of shareholders in tie South Canterbury Dairy Company was to have been held on Saturday to either confirm or reject the resolution authorising the liquidation of the company, which was passed on May 2nd., bat there was not a quorum of shareholders present, it being necessary on such an occasion to hare at least one fifth of the capital represented. The meeting therefore- lapsed. Mr Reck, chairman of directors, stated that another meeting -would be held next Saturday, when the resolution would be* dealt with whether there was a quorum present* or not, this step being- allowable after one meeting- bad fallen through. At least one person present, a director in the person of Mr of Fairlie, must have thought that the non-success of the meeting would deprive the newspapers of some "copy," for be generously moved a resolution of sympathy with the reporters. Although, strictly speaking, the motion was not carried there was not a single dissenting vote recorded.

As a lot of probable motor car buyers are afraid of the upkeep they would do well by calling at the Garage of Messrs Skeates ami Boekaert where they can get full particulars of the new arrangement which this firm has made, and that is to give a guarantee for the up-keep per year, for everv car which they sell: this guarantee inelmbs enrage', oil. cleaning, tyres, and in fact everything except petrol. The reason why "this firm can guarantee the upkeep is "that by th*> past, seven years experience they haye found that the Darrneq and Bedion car* are by far the rlteapest on the market, as regards upkeep. When one thinks that Darracqs triumph, in turn, in speed races'pnre and simple, where they have many a time brought off splendid victories in "reliability trial*, and in tests of petrol competition, it is a clear proof of the multiple qualities of the ideal car. which has passed its tests in all tournaments* open to tlie motor industry throughout flie world. ...
