TOWN & COUNTRY.

Entries for the solo, trio and quartette competitions in the forthcoming .band contest have closed and. number just about 200, -which with the selections and quicksteps, practically ensures success; The following is Captain Edwin's weather'forecast to' 3 p.m.' to-day"Strong winds, to . gale from the westward at places northward, of Kaikoura and Hokitiba, but changing northward' after 12 hours. Strong winds to gale from the northward elsewhere. Bain is probable generally." All men employed on the drainage works and general labourers are requested to attend a meeting of the Timaru branch of the General Labourers' Union, to l;e held in the Oddfellows' Hall this evening. The Tui Hockey Club's dance, held, in the Assembly Rooms last evening, was carried out on a lavish scale. . Dancing. was indulged in to music isupplied from Mrs' Hurdley's band, and an . excellent supper, provided partty 'by the members of the club and partly by Mr Btidd, was partaken of. Taken all round 1 the gathering was a decided- success^

A plain and fancy dross ball 'will' be held in the Pareora. East, Hnll thfc» evening, and for the convenience of Timarii residents a. drag will leave the Stone Stables at 7 p.m. for the scene of the festivities.

Bonrnville cocoa, .made by British labour in the garden village of Bonrnville, England, will bo dispensed in cups for a. few afternoons ah Bowie's. store. The process of manufacture and how to make a, good cup of cocoa will bo explained. The Timaru Savage Club have .kindly consented to give; a. concert at. St. Andrews on the ,27th. inst., in aid of the St. Andrews Public Hall, funds. The public are looking forward with pleasure to the visit and a bumper house is assured. A queer structure lias been made at the corner of Sophia, and George fit reef , to house the operative who in joining on the wires in two ends of 300-pair telephone cables. It. is a, kind of tent;, but of ■ ply over ply, a. perfect defence against, curious sight-seers who might like to* see what is going on inside. The jolt was completed and' |he structure, was removed last night. Admiral Bperry, while showing a number of visitors over the Connecticut, in Auckland harbour, drew their special attention to some handsome plate presented to the battleship by the people oE the State after which it is named. "Let-"* see," .said one of the visitors —an Aucklander. " Did'nt we give our battleship something'/" Mr Craigie, who was in the party was asked to explain to the American Admiral what the people of this country had given the battleship New. Zealand, including the perpetual prizes for gunnery. He was naturally gratified at the pride shown by the northerners in these gifts from the colony to the warship which beans its name. Speaking at the meeting of the Geraldino County Council yesterday on the reported defects of the ferro-concrete wharves at Auckland, Mr Marchant said there was no reason to fear any such trouble with regard to the new Opihi bridge. The fissures at Auckland had probably been caused by excessive driving with a two-ton monkey into the papa, rock, and the salt, water had eaten into, the iron cylinder .causing corrosion. The piles for the Opihi bridge, lie explained, would cost about twice what, the Auckland ones did, the latter being hollow and consequently not near so well able to stand the driving, as the -ones he proposed to use, where thei driving would he on :v solid steel slud incased in concrete. The Council coneidered the explanation quite satisfactory. . The members of the South Canterbury Harrier Club were yesterday afternoon the guests of their vice-president, the Ven. Archdeacon Harper, at his residence in Theodocia street. There was a fair attendance of members, bat no hares were sent out, the course being picked by the captain. . The pace was made very fast, from the outset, the country traversed being that in the vicinity of Saltwater Creek. Several members of the team picked to represent the club in the crosscountry race in Dunedin on Saturday, donned their togs for a final spin and appeared in good fettle. On returning to the rendezvous, the harriers were hospitably entertained by the Archdeacon, who was thanked by Mr O. G. Aylen. In responding, the Archdeacon expressed the pleasure it. gave him to entertain the members of the club, and assured them of a continuance of his patronage, welcoming them for the ensuing season. For tne final run of the syllabus the committee are. endeavouring to arrange a country run, and the members will be notified through the' press. Entries for the club's ■ championship on September the 3rd, close next. week.

> The August. number of tho Titanrn'High School Magazine is a bright; and interesting number. An editorial signed "R. H.R.." is worthy of consideration by all well-wishers of the school and the town, for it accuses the residents of Timaru of lieing apathetic in regard to educational matters and especially with showing a. lack of appreciation of the High School. Figures are given to show that. Timarn, iu ill;-, matter of junior University ,Scholarships, - has beaten at least two other well-known, secondary schools having larger roll numbers than the local educational establishment. The article contains some sonnd sense* and jte contents should be thoroughly digested. Thews' is also a budget, of school' news, a, beautiful little poem by an Old Boy, .Mr S. S. Mackenzie, obituary-notices of a late schoolmate, F. Ei. Gillingham and of the liev. G. Barclay, rectoiy news, .1 quantity of football, cadet and other matter and an account of the doings of the Wellington branch of the Old Boys' Association. Two excellent photographs arc given of llio football first! fifteen and oE the roetorv. Tile magazine comprises 32 pages of information usefill to both present and past membens of the school and reflects credit on the literary staff responsible ■ for its production. • ■ • ■>

Among tlu'i Hon. It. McNab's correspondence on Saturday was a letter which shows, savs the;''Dunedin "Star," llmt even minor legislation is not, unheard < f beyond the. weas, and which incidentally throws a. sidelight on the ramifications of ministerial obligations. Last seission Parliament .passed an Apiaries Act, which provides, among other things, that 1101 bee-keepers shall keep be«s in any but a properly constructed frame hive. The letter came from a settler in the fruitgrowing district, of Wandin, Victoria. He stated tha.li h-e had read in a Melbourne weekly paper an interview with Mr Mi - Nab on the, subject, of bees. The settler stated' that none, in the Wandin district, 'had been able to make a success of beekeeping. "They put a new swarm," lie Wrote, "in a keresene box or a gin-em»o, or any other box handy, place it on a :stand, expect the poor little things to fill it with honey. Then they rob thenx in the moist ruthless and cold-blooded manner, and leave them to die, or live as best they can until ,tht next honey season." Tho settler asked if the. New Zealand Agricultural Department could furnish him with pamphlets on bee-keeping, or if the Minister himself could give him j advice on the subject, and Mr McNab is forwarding the seeker after knowledge* full information. The interview was one granted some weeks ago <0 a "Timarn Herald " representative. As the season for band contests, approaches, it will be. necessary for the > amis which have agreed to participate in the competitions to obtain the best instrument in the market, and in order to seleteii the most perfect one, it is essential to know the predominating points of the different makes. Bub more important stillis the record of the manufacturer, and when it comes to that the firm of Hawkes and Son, London, stands head and shoulders above all others. Their instruments never leak, neveir get out of order, wiu nine out of every ton solo competitions, and two-thirds of all band: contests. Their instruments are absolute 'perfection. However, in addition to (these facts, another important factor looms tip, and that'is, one, which will appeal to all bandsmen in the Dominion and Australia. Mr William Short, L.1?.A.M., State Trumpeter of. Great Britain .and principal .trumpet of H.M. the King's Band, who* adjudicates the forthcoming Ballarat and Christchurch Band contests, uses Hawkes and Son's instruments, exclusively, and will tour the Dominion after the Chris tchurclt contest, nsing a "Hawkes." for the tour; There is no higher authority.

Heavy rain commenced to fall in Geraldine and Temnka. on Wednesday evening about halfpast 8 o'clock, and continued throughout- the night. Early ye>-t-rdav morning is eased off, but. the sky c.mtinned very overcast auil threatening, while a bitterly keen "wind blew throughout the day. reminding residents [bar winter has not yet vanished. The Mayor yesterday receive. I a cheque on n. New York hank for £IOOO. the til st instalment of the Carnegie grant tor the erection of ihe public library bnihling. . The ell- is signed by It. A. Franks, cashier, and is accompanied bv a voucher .setting forth in the briefest way' the object- of the payment. Incidentally, the document, shows that the £IOOO is equivalent in 1860 dollars, from which it can be worked out that the dollar iii worth something ie=s than 4s I'd.

Wellington appears to be a long way ahead of th-e other centres in the rnn.ter of free kindergarten edncarion. The Methodist community there have jnst decided to add a third school io the. two already working under its control, and has appointed Miss Gertrude Schmidt, of Christchnreh, -o superintend ihe operations of the new institution. Miss Schmidt was speciallv trained in Germany for this branch of the teaching profession, and holds the first-class certificate of a leading seminary in that country.

A good collection ol' machinery and implements is admitted to be an impor.ant feature of agricultural shows, and ihe people who patronise the Timaru shows have missed very much the interesting collections of th : "s nature since most of the makers and dealers gave up exhibiting". A deputation of th*se people waited on the committee of the Christchnreh Association this week to ask -thai the charges made for space at ihe Christchnreh shows be largely reduced or rdiogfther abolished, as they found that, exhibiting ■was too expensive. The representative of the International Harvester Company stated that he had exhibited throughout Great Britain and North America, and had not paid for space, as it was recognised that the exhibits were an attraction. 'lhe chairman stated thai last vear the Association Teeeived £ll7 for space and paid our £6O in awards and i;2O to £"ro in passes. It was .suggested that no awards be given, and no charge made. The committee came to no decision, bnt referred the matter to the Finance and Implements Commiitee. It id. stated in the police report that the finger-print collection on March 31st consisted of the impressions of 7622 offenders. showing an increase of 1471 as compared with the previous year. During the year 123 persons claiming to be first offenders were, by means of finger-prints, identified as previously convicted persons, sn increase of 19 over last year. Fingerprints of preoue in custody here, since the last report have been identified in England, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart. Adelaide, Perth and Johannesburg, of those of criminals previously convicted and finger-printed in those places. During the year 49 finger-marked articles from house-breaking cases were submitted to the branch by the police of the varans districts for identification. Only 25 of these bore prints that were sufficiently clear to be of any value. Of th.se 25. 12 resulted in identifications; and the information that the branch went thus able to give the police in several eases materially assisted in securing the conviction of the offenders.

While, ai tending the municipal conference in Wellington, the Mayor (Mr Ornigie) visited the House of Representatives occasionally. He was present, when -Mr Ell's Bill dealing with town district.; was in committer and .heard several references made during the debate io tjie fact elicited at the last.

The "Southland News" is informed iliat within the> last few months prominent men and capitalists of the North Island have been directing their attention to Preservation Tnlet. Negolialions have ber-n in progress for some time, and a well known mining expertwill shortly visit the Inler and make an exhaustive report. It- is believed that the 'lat-ffit methods of treatment of ores will permit, of the successful working of many mining properties at the Inlet. Should the result of the present negotiations be favourable, a large compaiiv is to be formed to carry on operations on an extensive scale. In connection with the country at the back of Ashburton ctunty, says the

" (Inardian," it is reported that most of the sheep were safely got out. of the deep snow, and put to graze on the. black patches of (lie country, where they have b.vn feeding for about live weeks. As the feed was somewhat, limited, many of the sheep have naturally got in low condition, and much anxiety is now felt about probable l.f-ses through scour when the young grass comrs, or during the lambing season, owing to the weakened condition of the ewes. Of course there will b? some Irssses through sheep having been smothered under deep snow, but th.ee losses cannot be ascertained till the countrv becomes clear once more.

A Scottish shearing gave a good rleal of amusement to a young Australian recently. He described the affair thus in a letter to a friend in Adelaide:—"Yesterday morning I jaw another Scotch shearing. This was 'really too fnnny. One man fiat on a fence bossing, and three others shore. They each caught a sheep and lugged it. into the middle of 3 sandy yard, and then the fun began. Tli-ir method is extraordinary—exactly opposite to the Australian. The chief thing that remains in my mind is one man kneeling on the sheep's neck, another holding him up by the tail, and the third giving a Hackenschmidt exhibition. This is not- exaggerated. When they had each polished off their respective victims they rolled up the fleece, not at all p.irticnlar to a pound of extra, sand, stood up. heaved a sigh, hitched their trousers, lit pipes, took u. pull at a large jug. and then strolled after another shrv-p—about thirty a day! And yet this it; one of the finest farms in the district- (Aberdeenshire.") On- hundred certificates of merit were issued to Hawera. High School pupils in connection with the horticultural display held in April last. The headmaster (Mr. St rack, formerly of Pleasant Point) informed a reporter that the third competition in gardens this year would be carried out. more systematically than hart been done in tl» past. At the end of the month no fewer than 300 packages of assorted seeds will be distributed among the boys, who will have what, will be. termed "school gardens" at home. A note will be taken of the names of all supplied with seed. The headmaster and an assistant will visit, each garden and allot- the space, inserting a peg with the name of the owner thereon. The competitors are to manure their plots and othewi>e prepare fhem for cultivation. At the- end of two months the plots will be visited to note progress, a similar visit will be paid about December. Marks will be given for cleanliness. The fruits of the pupils' indnstry will be displayed to th« public at the annual exhibition in March.

It is not- only important- for farmers and otlier users of motor-care to decide. on the brand of ear tht-y should use for their bard and -•outinuons work, but ii is also mnet, necessary that tin* agent fihimld 1)6 able to prove and give t li'-ni a, guarantee of what the car will cost for up-keep. Thei local agents for both Dedion and Darracq cars, after many gears' experience with tln-ee cam, aiv prepared t«> K' ve an estimate; in fact, will contract. for two or T inv»- y«-:irs for t"he up-keep "of the cars. For instance, the 10-12 h.p.'s of either of the above makes they guarantee to rim 25 miles aiul oyer on a. "gallon of petrol; in fact, some private owners' of th«;e. earn will testily (.hat they hava dune over 30 miles on a gallon. Will any other agent guarantee the same amount for any other 10-12 h.p. car. They also gnaiantee that this car is more economical, ss far as tjrtfi are concerned, than any other wonld be. l.ong experience with the-e two makes liafi shown that, (the chassis are bnilfc in Mich perfect alignment and the running of the. car is altogether so true, that the wear on tyres is it*, little •as it. » possible to ly.

The story of a man who lias been practically unconscious for four months and a-half was told at a meeting of the Ohineniuii Connty Council last- week. The man, named Mounts who was in the employ of the Council on March 16, was found 011 the morning of the ,17th unconscious jri a- stable. He was removed to the Thames hospital, and is Mill lying there in a semi-unconscious condition, unable to give an account of how the accident happened.

Mr. Flat man suggested in a quest ion in the House on Wednesday thai threshing Machine tallies should be -nsetl in pre paring ihe grain statistics for. the Dominion. The. .Minister replied that a trial of the system of collecting the actual yields of corn crops, grasses, etc., from threshing ma.-hine owneis made in one district last season. but the information furnished; in ihe first instance by the owners was not in all cas.s complete, and the whole of the returns w.-re noli receive.! ill time for inclusion in the statistics. In the ease of peas, grass seed, and clover, where threshing is done by the hour, no return of the actual yield of the crops is kept; hence the information received was of no use. The system had been tried and found wanting, and a continuance of the method! is not. recommended. .

The Blackball strike balance sheet has been published. The report shows; that £1603 8s 7d was raised, the chief subscribers l>eing the State Miners' Union £l9O, Dennist-on Miners' Union £155 10s, Brnmier Miners' Union £IOB 12s, Reefton Miners' Union £136, Grey Wharf Labourers' Union £75 lis, and Waihi Miners' Union £lls. The average number of members on relief. pay for 11 weeks was 10 men, 46 women and 11 children, so an average of 261 souls sharing in the division of £I6OO for 11 weeks does not- work out at any profit, being close 011 lis per head per week. The men alone; would not get more than 30s per week, had the money been divided among them excluding the women and ihildren. The expenses of administration were less than £4.

"We eft en hear of tlir* big fires in America." said Mr. Hugo, Government Fire Inspector, at 'Gisborne," " but the fire waste, in New- Zealand is a great, deal more per head of "the population than in any other part of the world."
