TOWN & COUNTRY.

A party of South Canterbury Harriers left- for Dunedin yesterday to take part in a harrier steeplechase. Shareholders in the South Canterbury Dairy Company, are reminded that the annual meeting takes place at 1 p.m. to-day. The. report and balance-sheet were published in the "Herald" of August. 14th. ■ln some papers in the large towns the, Timani: Motor Omnibui; Company are calling for tenders for the purchase of three Milnes Daimler motor buses. Two are said to be, in excellent, order. A start was made yesterday with one of the .preparations for the erection of a new building for the C.F.C.A., between Slrathallan and Berwick street?, this is the excavation of ,tho additional ground proposed to be built over. Tenants on the Crown settlements must. ;, send in their votes for a special, representative on the Land Board by the 27th inst. There are,- Mr Pringlo tells lis, over 3000 of these, tenants in Canterbury, i-o that, the elective, -member has-'no mean constituency. The Garrison Band under Conductor Necklin will give the following programma of music at the-:Hospital Grounds tomorrow at 3 o'clock:—Grand March, '"The Kinsr's Body Guard"; Selection "SchuDert>"; »finuct, "Dorothy Vernon "; Overture, '' Bohemian Girl" ; Intermezzo, "In the Twilight"; Indian. March, "Rajahanecendei"; "God Save tho King." A email section of humanity, in the hsape of a baby, nearly had an accident yesterday afternoon. Tho child had been left by its mother lying in its go-cart on the pavementi outside a-; shop and while the mother -was making' some purchases the; horseless carriage took it into its head to'move away down a. slight incline, and but for having been brought to a timely stop by a woman who was passing at tho time would probably have run over tho kerbing and been capsized. The good Samaritan asked a youth whose baby it was and ho replied that it was not life. The Committee of Management ofr the skating rink announce this, morning, thah the return hockey match .on . skates between teams representing, the (well-known Star and Zingari combinations, ;will take place at the Drill Hall oh Thursday evening, next. The previous match caused intense excitement among the spectators, the game being conspicuous for very fast and accurate play and it is anticipated that the. teams will on the present occasion put up as good a. record. The skating season clones in. about three weeks* time, and tho committee are now aixahg-. ing- for another carnival at an early, date, when some ,new and interesting-spectacu-lar displays will bo brought before, !(,h0 piiNic. - * After a long, exhausting illness tohen health is slow about returning,.

On Tut'sdav evening the first of a series of. lantern lectures in St. Mary's Schoolroom will be- given by Archdeacon Harper. The lecture will include scenes m \emce, Milan, Pisa, and Perugia, with many interesting details of tha history of those Ulace;. and the manners and customs oE the. people. In addition to photographic views; the Archdeacon has obtained specially coloured reproductions of some or the "rent paintings of the Venetian school. \* th.- Archdeacon has visited all these places, and made himself familiar with them, a lecture full of interest, may be expected, illustrated by slides of more than usual excellence. These lectures are given in aid of St. Marv's Guild who are working for the reduction of the debt on the vicarage.

A large number of people connected ■with Point Caledonian Society and Racing Club met at the Oddfellows' Hall Pleasant Point on Wednesday evening, to make a. presentation to Mr J- Stewart, president of the Caledonian Society, on the occasion oi hiti marriage. Mr G. Crozier occupied the chair and called on Mr -\N. Lund to present a travelling rug on behalf of the Caledonian Society, and on F.

Nelligun. president of the Racinji Club, presented Mr Stewart with a ■ marble clock on behalf of the clno. Three named said that these bodies wished to show Mr Stewart the esteem in which lie was held. Mr Stewart in response, thanked them all veiy much for their handsome presents and said that lie would prize them very much. He however, did not deserve them; what he had done in the past had been a pleasure, and he ■would do his best for sport in future. A very enjoyable evening was then spent in song and tale.

In another column will be found the train arrangements for the coursing meeting to be held at Washdvke. nest Thursday. A very interesting service of song will be rendered in the" Salvation Army Hall ; to-moirow evening, entitled Jessica's first ! Prayer, illustrated with lantern slides.

The Timaru Gun Club, on Thursday nest, will hold a £2O pigeon match and smother for a trophy presented by Mr E. J. Smith. Roth matches will be held at Saltwater Creek. A Dromore farmer. Mr James Allen, has docked the fine tally of 110 per cent, of lambs from a flock of aged crossbred ewes. The cutting up of estates must be followed bv the establishment of school-. The Ota'go F-ducarion Board has. - decided to provide new schools at Waitaki South and Otekaike. Tlis following is Captain Edwin's weather forecast- up to 3 p.m. t°-day : —"Mo-i 'derate to strong southerly winds generally, but changing to between north-east and" north-west at places southward of Napier and Wanganui. after from 12 to 16 hours, with tailing barometer." There recently reached us a parcel of the catalogues r.f Peach's lace curtains and Peach's table damask, together with price-lists and other household requisites. Messrs Samuel Peach and Sons have arranged that copies shall be sent I<> all applicants enquiring through the* office of thin new.«pai>er.

A meeting of the Silverstream school committee Mas held on Wednesday evening. In respect to the Barclay Memorial scholarship it was resolved to request iho teacher to collect subscriptions. .The Board of Education "forwarded £7 fcr shelter shed and £1 for gate for teacher's residence. It was agreed to hold the school social on September 18th, and a working bee on the 24th to prepare the site of the school gardens. Tire Borough Council last night received, in committee, a deputation representing the meeting recently hold in the South School re the southern outfall of the underground drainage system, and spent some time in discussing the matter with them. The deputation comprised Mows HfWi'on, Hay, Donaldson, and Jones. The- Council afterwards opened three tenders for the Caroline Bay tearooms, and these were held over till Menday evening's meeting, in order to permit of certain inquiries being made. On Thursday evening last the Temuka Bowling Club held a most sucecsfiil euchre party and dance in the Volunteer Drill Hal!, with the object of augmenting the Club's funds which were at a rather low ebb, but thanks to willing support and assistance very generously rendered by the enthusiastic members and their lady friends the Club. is once more in a decidedly healthy condition financially. The prizes at euchre were won by Miss Heron and Mies Twomey, Messis P. Coira and Saunders. An excellent supper was done full justice to. For the dance Vaughan's band supplied the music, and Mr McC'allum was' M.C.. Votes of thanks were passed to all who had assisted.

A meeting was held in the? Y.M.C.A. Rooms last evening with the intention of forming a Rambling Club for the i-.um-mer. There was a good attendance and the idea was taken up very enthusiastically. The following were elected officers:—Captain, Mr J. K. McCahon: De puty Captain, Mr J. B. Griffiths; Secretary, Mr Leggctt. All young men are cordially invited to join the club., and need not necessarily be member™ of the Association. The membership foe is notlarge, and as the syllabus is both varied and attractive, the members are. confident of a successful season. The secretary may be seen at the rooms en almost every evening, and will welcome any intending members.

The usual weeklv meeting of the Life Boat Lodge. No. ICI. 1.0. G.T., was held last, evening, the C.T., Bro. Muchmore, presiding over a good attendance of members. The lodge decided to assist in ihe distribution of no-license literature in conjunction with the No-License League. The programme for the evening took the form of "mail bag night" for which the secretary had received a large number of letters and post cards from various lodges in the colony. The reading of these proved mesfc interesting, and was enjoyed by all. The secretary was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his trouble in arranging such a successful mail bag. The programme for next meeting will be pound night. The lodge was closed in the usual manner, at 9.30.

As the season for band contests approaches, it will be necessary for the • ancts which have agreed to participate in the competitions to obtain the best instrument in the market, and in order to select the most perfect one, it is essential to know the predominating points of the different makes. Bnt more important still is 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, never get out of order, win nine oufc of every ten solo competitions, and two-thirds of all band contests. Their instruments are absolnte perfection. However, in addition to these facts, another important factor looms up, and that is one, which will appeal to all bandsmen in the Dominion and Australia. Mr William Short, L.R.A.M., State Trumpeter of Great Britain and principal numprtof 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 Christchurch contest, using a "Hawkes" for the tour. There is no higher authority. Take advice before it is too late!...

It is not only important for farmers- and other users of motor-ears to decide on the brand of ear they should use for their hard and -ontinuons work, but it is. also most necessary that the agent, should be able to prove and give them a guarantee of -what the car -will cost for up-keep. The local agents for both Dedion and Darracq cars, after many years' experience with these cars, are prepared to give an estimate; in fact, will contract for two or three years for the upkeep of the cars. For* instance, the 10-1Z h.p.'s of J either of the above makes -they guarantee to run 25 miles and over on a gallon of petrol; in fact, some private owners of these cars will testify <hat they have done/ over 30 miles on a- gallon. Will any' other agent guarantee the same amount for any other 10-12 h.p. car. They also guarantee that this car is more economical, ss far as tyres are concerned, than any oiher would be. Long experience with these two makes has shown that the chassis are built in such perfect alignment and the running of the car is altogether so true, that the wear on tyres is. as little ns it is possible to" be. .The brakes, which are the most vital parts of a car, «re a specialty with above makers, and we can challenge iany other motor-car maker as for their strength. It is proof enough when we Gay that all other designers are trving to imitate these brakes as much as possible. The local agents for the Darracq car have just received advice that the New York Cab Co., after having much experience during the past -two years with other makes, have now decided to give an order for 500 Darracq motorcabs for the New York traffic, and this is the greatest possible proof of cheapness in np-keep. The local agents will be only too delighted to give any trial on the above point. ...

lt appears that Mr. It. Meredith 'has not yet definitely decided to contest the Waitaki 1 seat against Sir W. J. Steward. He is still considering ■ the qiiesrioii. of doing so. In our issue of yesterday it was stated that the Timaru Savage Club was giving

a concert at .St. Andrews on Thursday next. The council of the chiefs slate that no such raid is contemplated by the warriors of this> hapu. We have received from Mr Frederic SFiipman an enlarged postcard, bordered with a tartan pattern, announcing a colonial tour of '" The Kilties," which jh to opsn this month in 'Sydney. This combination is described as ,; the greutest Scottish band in. the world, the pride of Canada," and includes (besides the pipers who were twice commanded to play before the King during their recent British tour) a vocal choir and dancers. The Woodbury Morris Tuba Club' fired on Saturday last for a, trophy presented by Mr Pilkingion. ; This was won by J. Heney after two ties with G. "Fergusson and a . second snoot off. ' The following were the principal scores, with handicaps:— .T. Heney (2), 55; G. Fergusson (5), 55; T. Eaton (2). 34; E. Fergusson fo), 54; D. P. Sheppard (6)," ~k>; G. Armstrong (scr.), 52; A. Riches (- e cr.).'E. Allan (scr.), Jos. Fifield (scr.;, F. Fifield (5), and A. Fergusson (2), each 31; A. Scott (4), 30.

Our Woodbury correspondent writes that- after a long spell of fine days with sharp frosts at night the weather changed, and a thaw set in on Monday night. On Wednesday evening rain began to fall and continued till late on Thursday. Altogether about half an inch of rain fell, and the hills received another coating of snow. Dry weather is now hopod for, as on several farms in ihe neighbourhood lambing has started. ■ The springs continue high from the heavy weather early in July, making many paddocks quite swampy. Occasionally one hears of " slimy milk " in jugs in Timaru pantries. From a, contemporary we learn that, while sometimes it is due to a pathologic condition of the cow in the majority of cases, and in all cases where a persistent dairy infection of slimy milk appears, the trouble is due to bacteria. In some countries slimy milk is regarded as a delicacy and is actually produced by artificial means. In Norway the people enjoy drinking milk that can be drawn out in long threads, and they believe it is perfectly wholesome.

One. of ihe .stock stories abofft the late Mr Delane, the famous editor of . the London " Times," is that on one occasion he announced ihe. coining appointment.' of an Indian viceroy on the strength of a remark made to him at an official dinner by a distinguished physician who said that he had that day been asked by Lord whether the climate of India would suit his wife. On the same lines, the next High Commissioner might perhaps be predicted from a recent remark of the daughter of a politician who told'an acquaintance that she would be leaving for England in two or three weeks. Mr Charles Saunders, the great tenor, has been prevailed upon to give another concert in Timaru, and.has selected September 4th as the date. Our younger generation especially should rally to do honour to a singer who represents the good old English.school of. oratorio and popular ballade. - Mr Saunders is at present at Rororna resting for ten days, after a long series of trying . concerts. On September Ist, after giving four concerts at Auckland, he leaves for the south, and on his way to Dunedin; has selected. Timaru as the one and only stopping-ofi place. A musical festival has been arranged for him at Dnnedin by the musical societies. The box plan will be op?n at the Dresden Monday next. For some time past, our trade in wool with Japan has been (steadily growing (says the "Sydney Stock and Station Journal"), and it is now gratifying to find that China is entering the competitive area for Australian wool. Some orders have recently reached Sydney as a result of enquiries made a few weeks ago through the proprietors of the "Tung Wah Times," in Sydney, which led to samples of wool being sent to China. The first shipment, which consisted of a line of Walgett wool, very nicely scoured by Wright- and Bruce, Limited, of the Lakeside Works, Botany, went forward by the steamship Aldenham, which left on Saturday last, and it is hoped that, this inaugural shipment will speedily lead to further business. The "Lakeside" brand of scoured wool is highly este-rmed in Japan, and.no doubt the shipment, which is now going forward to China, will create a favourable impression of our wool products jn the latter country. Distinctiveness of style, gracefulness and attractiveness of figure, combined with perfect freedom and comfort, is desired by every woman, and the P.D. corset has a world-wide reputation,, for imparting these great essential points to the wearer. -Science and skill have combined to render P.D. corsets absolutely unrivalled for durability ihey will; wear ; considerably longer than any other make. ... : What gift can excel the joy—bringing phonograph.
