A- heavy hailstorm broke over Geraldine about 1 p.m. yesterday. The hail continued- for half an hour, making the ground quite white ami afterward* a little snow fell. ". 'Regarding an extension of the second daily letter delivery at Waimate, Sir Joseph Ward has intimated that he will give the matter consideration when the timetable for the express trains in the South Island on the opening of the .Mam Trunk railway line is arranged. In the hockey match yesterday for the Marshall Cnp Tut beat Wesley by two goals to nil. Miss Mir Sinclair shot both goats!. The ground was very heavy for good" play, the mid-day storm soaking it. thoroughly- Mr S. Bmnip was the referee. A gang of mu are now engaged on th.- work of improvements which has 1,-eii authorised to lie done on Cat.dine Is,tv. 'lhe .Id stationary bathing sheds opposite the viaduct have b-vn removed further and the work of extending the- promenade to the new r» clarnation at tlie north end of the beach has been commenced. A fitst offender within th..- meaning of the Act, who came lf.m Oamaru and got drunk on Wedintsday, was lined S> by Mr Wray, S.M., yesterday rnoniing, in default 24 hours' imprisonment. At the same sitting of the Court, the adjourned 'cuire of breaches of a prohibition order preferred againfct Mrs. Shewan wan called .in. Sub-Inspector Green suggested again adjourning the case, to enable the woman's relatives in Ashburton to take charge of her, and this cour.se was agreed to. Several samples of weather were exhibited in Timarn and the neighbourhood yesterday. The early morning was beautifully " fine and sunny, and even warm. Between nine and ten a small storm, cloud appeared over the Hnnters Hills from Mt. Nimrod southwards. This gradually increased, and spread over the "intervening country, and its forefront. paseM over Timaru" shortly after noon, and at the same time a fierce squall struck, the town from the same overland quarter whence the cloud had come. Then just before the shops and offices -were deserted for the half holiday, a fall of hail whitened the ground followed by a shower of rain that-promptly melted the hail. At the time the prospect was a wet afternoon but the shower did. not. last long and the. squall died away. • " At the Magistrate:.* Court ycfterday bsfore Mr C. A. Wray. S.M.. a man named W. ('. Robertson, living at Hakataramea. was charged with obtaining board and lodgings ai Mi*. Wakefield's boarding house in February and March last, at a cost of £lB lte, by false p r ';- ' fences. He pleaded not guilty. His fotieitor, Mr Sargent, stated that the informant now wished to withdraw the charge. Acting apparently in good faith hhe had used the criminal procedure to j recover a civil debt. jSnh-lnspeetor j Green said that the defendant and his j wife stayed at Wakefield s boarding hotr.e. and tlie "former represented that he wonld pay for th? same by giving the complainant a supply of potato.::?, stating that he had land and a good crop, whereas he bad no land and no potatoes. In reply Mr Sargent. paid this promise wr.G made after the- debt was incurred, and the hoard and lodgings were not. obtained on. these representation*: also that the complainant was aware of her error in procedure and would offer no evidence. Satisfactory arrangements had been made ior the payment of the debt. Under fheee circumstances His Worship allowed the case to be withdrawn. There is now on view in the shop lately occupied by Oates and Co., Stafford Street, a collection of oil paintings by Mr. GE. Pruden, of Christ church, which are to be offered for eale by anction to-mor-row west. The public are therefore in- j vited to enter and inspect the collection in the meantime. Mr Pruden is a New Zealander who hx<> been studying the art of landscape • painting in oik for many years and for the last seven years has devoted himself entirely to it. The forty pictures now on view, are well worth inspection, for among them there is 6ome really excellent work, and their variety affords a sort of cheap trip to scenes in many different parts of New Zealand, from, the Pink and White Terraces of Taruwera (eaasting no longer except in pictures), througe the bush at Taihape, round the Tort Hills and on the sand hills at New Brighton (ona of the best this), around Mt. Cook and scenic spots near Dunedin, to the cold lakes and the great. eonnds. Mr Pruden's "Mt. Cook" may be criticised on other points, but he has got a very fine suggestion of the alpine peak showing through a rift in dull clouds. An outstanding merit in the majority of the pictures is their ex- j cellent perspective, the distance fe dis- j tant, and this is noticeable in large and I small works alike. Among the smaller i ones are some monochromes, at least one , of which will be readily mistaken for j a photograph. To select . any of the j pictures for special mention should be j merely an indication of a personal pre- • ference, which in the circumstances would he unwise. Members of the public who | are picture buyers, or may ba tempted j to become buyers are invited to see the j collection and make their own selection : and others are recommended to see them i as worth seeing. I The younger generation often hear their \ fathers speak of the old fashioned Cook- ; ham boot. It will no doubt be of interest to oar readers that J. W. Souter of Cook- | ham House, has just opened a large ship- [ nient of Cookham boots. He is now ehow- | iug some first-class French calf, East In- j dia kip and h-irer hide Cookham*hoots...- \ Often one reads about wonaerful per- j fonnanees by motor c;trs in Kurope, where j the road conditions lend tliemselve* to ; itich. Bnt nowhere wne the funda- j mental qualities of motor cars so forcibly | brought home as lately by the two lwst motor cars made in the world, the fie ; Dion and Darracq; for reliability, >|>eed : and everlasting wear, they .stand alone; • the following are the proofs : A little 10 h.p. twin cylinder last week ran fn-ni Invercargill to Duiwdin und b.».-k, -iOO mile* hi eleven hours, it made a perfeet nonstop run on wet and bad roaiks, and left far behind a car of another make of 16 h.p. : it is- a world's record. J»i.es this uot show wonderful speed and reliability for a tmatl runabout ear. As for ; good* wear the first 10 h.p. Darracq which : ■was sold 2 years ago to a welt known ; Waimate farmer was overhauled lately, and tlie owner will prove that not a 6d part was replaced, as not a sign of wear : ■was found anywhere.
