The spinsters of Winchester held their annual ball in Victoria Hall on Tuesday. A committee of ladUs with Miss E. -U. Elsom as •secretary, had control, and evervthing puescd «jfi! most successfully. There were about seventy couples present, including many from the surrounding districts. Mr J. Cripps was M.C., and the musicians were Messrs J. Roddick (piano), and J. Horgan (violin). Kxtr;is were played by Mi.-s Chapman, and by Miss LJillum (violin), and Mr A. Opie (piano). Mr Smart sang two songs and' received the compliment of encores. Refreshments were provided in plenty and the whole gathering was most enjoyable.

The active suzerainty of the Harbour Board over Caroline Bay appears to be limited to the condition in the Borough Council's lease-in-perpetuity that all subletting shall be subject to the approval of the Harbour Board. The Board asserts this limitation: the Borough Council denies it. Yesterday a member of the Board expressed a fear'that if the Board's right in this respect was waived, it would be the thin end of a wedge that would be used to destroy the Board's right altogether. On the other hand it was pointed out that the lease reserves a right of resumption of the Bay or any part "for harbour purposes." On this being read, a member shrewdly suggested that the raising of revenue from the Bay would be a "harbour purpose."

The concert and dance recently held in the Fiiirview Schoolroom in aid of the school funds, was generally spoken of us one of the best gatherings that has been held in the schoolroom. Great credit was due to the able instrumental and vocal talent- Mrs Squire opened the concert ■with an overture, and songs were rendered by Mtsdames Squire, Grossman, and Wakehani, and Messrs Wakehani. Conglettm, Foster. Anderson. Crerar. Raddon, Murphy, Croft. Faithful; musical items were given by Mr Gracie, and Miss Squire. The accompanists were Mesdames Hardley and "YVakeham. Misses Johnson and Raddon. Refreshments were handed round, and dancing was indulged in until the early hours of the morning. Mrs Hurdley supplied the music very creditably, extras being played by A. Vincent, C. Booth, and A. Ivey. Mr A. Ivey carried out the duties of MX"., assisted by P. Connor.

The hockey match Temuka v. Timaru, was played oq the Wesley ground on Thursday and a hard and fast game resulted in a win for the visitors. From the bully-off Temuka forced the game, but good" work by the local men shifted play to Ternttka's" circle, where a penalty gave Timaru a free hit, and after a scramble in the circle, Nome scored the first goal for Timaru. Temuka played hard and taking the ball down the field, F. Smith scored a goal. Both sides now played very willingly until half-time was called. On Tesuming, the visitors shifted play to Timant's 25, and after a good rush scored another goal. From tlhe bully, the local men got in some solid! work, and after some good passing Scales scored fcr Timaru. and made the score even. Play from this on was very fast, neither side having an advantage until the visiting forwards, broke away and beating the local backs again scored, this making the result: Temuka 3 goals, Timaru 2. Mr C. Warburton ably controlled the game. At Temuka the Wesley team met Dominion, the latter team, winning by 6 goals to 2 goals. As the 6 a-side tour-nament-will be held on Thmsday next, all fixtures will be postponed until'-the following week.

The • band contest committee met last evening-. Mr J. Craigie presided over a good attendance of members. Mr Hole reported an a visit to the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's 'wool store and 6aid the sub-committee recommended the acceptance of Mr Taylor's offer of the use of the building. The building was a very suitable one in every way, being commodious and bandy to the town; and the floor, without the balcony, would accommodate 4000 persons. It was stated Aat insurances, fittings, chairs, etc., for this hall would cost about £IOO for the one day. After an animated discussion it- was decided not to definitely accept Mr Taylor's offer until the whole matter bad been further considered by a committee. With regard to the pipe band's contest the secretary (Mr Gorlitz) stated that matters were in progress towards pipe bands coming here. It was decided to call a meeting of ladies at the Council Chambers to arrange for the garden party. Tenders- for the printinp and selling of programmes were opened and discussed', and it was decided to accept Mr Ware's offer, and Mr Gorlitz' offer of £ls for the sole advertising privileges. Mr Gilchrist was appointed mesic steward to assist the secretary. Mr Foden suggested the names of some military judges, time-keepers and marshals for the secretary to interview. The secretary was asked to prepare an -estimate of the cost of the whole contest before the next meeting.

It was again to be expected that the Scottish Reliability Trials, which are recognised throiigbout the world to be the most severe on motor cars would prove that tho Darracq cars could beat .ill comers when it comes to real Lard work on rough roads and heavy hill-climbing. In this trial one of the four cars secured the biggest award, a gold medal, another one scored an absolute non-stop certificate, •while the third car secured the prize for climbing the Trinafour hill, the stiffest grade in the whole trial. Consequently <mt of the four Darracqs entered three gained prizes thus proving their great reliability qualities. In the English Reliability Trial the little 8 h.p. DeDion Tan 2000 miles, and won the first prize in her class, thus making a most- creditable performance for such a small car. : It is therefore becoming quite monotonous in reading the results of the recent Reliability Trials in all parts of the world, as in alt cases when there are Darracqs or DeDions entered one can always look aifc the top of 4be list for the results of their performances. After seeing the above results it is no wonder that these cars are named •m England " The World's most reliable Cars." The following is a report which, was given by one of the greatest authorities in England: "The merit of the performances put up by the Darracq cars wiTl be appreciated when it is remembered that tlje prevailing conditions were of that nature to test the capabilities of the cars tf> their ntmost, and any car which" completed the trials in the way in which the Darracqs did were certainly the best made." The King of England is nsing a Darracq for a shooting brake; no doubt on account of its exceptional reliability and fitness for hard •work on rough roads. The local agents have already commenced to land some of the new season's models, and as the prices have been substantially reduced it will be of interest to any intending purchasers to call and get further particulars. ...

Yesterday a first offender within the meaning of the Act, though well-known to the police, was fined ss, in default 24 hours' imprisonment, on a charge of being drunk in Stafford Street on Thursday.

To-morrow at St. Mary's Church there will be special services for the anniversary of the opening of the nave in 1886. There will bo two celebrations of Holy Communion. The Rev. S. Hamilton, Vicar of Geraldiue, will be the preacher.

Though rations are of the same- quality for all prisons, it costs £1578 per annum to feed » dailv average of 145.37 prisoners in Wellington, while it costs only £IBB3 13s 9d in Auckland to feed a daily average of 246.85. To maintain a prisoner in town costs £SO 0s 6d, while a Waictapu prison camp the cost was £44 3s lid.

The spring flower show which is held annuallv in aid of the Melanesian Mission wi'll be held in the Assembly Rooms on September 26th. Besides the usual classes for cut blooms and floral decorations, this year's schedule includes the best collection of narcissi, for which ;* silver challenge cup will be given, collections of spring flowers from villa gardens, and several competitions for school children. Schedules may be obtained from Mr P. G. Allen, Stafford street, or Mr G. Cross, Arcade. Some amusement was extracted from the errors in the official chart of the coast at Timaru, by the chairman of the Harbour Board yesterday. Recent surveys, he said proved that the harbourmaster's flagstaff is not where it is indicated on the chart, but a mile and a half inland, and in order to be correctly • placed on the chart Mt. Peel would have to fte shifted about an inch on the chart. The eiTor however made for safety, as- the coastline is charted further seaward than it really is, so that the skipper would haul off a les shore while still a long way from it.

A Maori, -writing to the Rotorua- Times on the starving Maori subject, says:— "My business takes me about continually, and" I visit all the pas in the Waikato and Rotorua districts, also down at- the Bay. So I am well conversant with their condition. There are to be seen in none of the districts I visit Maoris in a more comfortable position than those |in tho Rotorua district. Most of them are working either for the Tourist Dei partment. on the roads, or at the Mamaku mills. A number are engaged in such occupations as typing, clerks, etc. Even if in some cases the Maori gets less wages than the pakeha, he pays no rent, and has land on which to run a little stock, keep fowls and pigs, and grow vegetables, potatoes, and maize. As a Maori, and a grandson of Wiremu Thomson, I must protest against the statements made about Maoris starving, as i£ casts what I consider a serious reflection on my people. It would lead outsiders to think the Maori was too lazy to work , for a living, preferring rather to eat 'rotten' maize, and starve on it. I know of no Maoris starving, and trust that on his return the Rev. Bennett will tell us where they are, so that Maori and pakeha may join in xelieving their necessities, and finding out how they came to starve."

Some two or three years after the Tarawera. eruption a sample- of the volcanic mud which covered vast areas of pumice land in the vicinity of the mountain was declared by an analyist to be utterly useless for the purpose of cultivation. Time, however, has apparently changed the entire character of the jciud deposit, converting it from a useless mass into a medium capable of producing an abundance of plant life. In course of time the pure volcanic country carrying its heavy coating of volcanic mud has be> come covered with the usual indigenous plants especially the toi toi plant; and of white clover, from *eed probably carried by birds or animals, there is a splendid growth. Sheep and cattle are in good condition, doing well on the clover in summer and toi toi in winter. Last season a few acres of mud, on a flat which was previously nothing but pure but having a coating of two feet of the volcanic deposit, was ploughed up. No manure whatever was supplied. Here some turnips, as w-ell as oats, maize, and potatoes were planted. All the crops were good and the turnips were nvagnificent. Some of the roots were of enormous size, numbers .going from 24 to 26 inches in circumference and being sound and of good weight. One, it -was declared, measured 57 inches and weighed 521b. The mud requires judicious management, a s it becomes very hard in summer and is of the consistency of putty in wet weather.

The superior quality and excellence of the pianos imported and sold by the Dresden Piano Co. Ltd. has just been demonstrated in the most emphatic manner. During the past -official- year- 60& pianos ■were imported into Dunedin, and 500 of these were sold by the Dresden. In' other words the Dresden sold 500 pianos during the past financial year against lUO' by two other concerns. No other piano house can show such a record.

These four makes represent the best- markets of the world.- All the latest up-to-date music is kept in stock. Orders executed within -18 hours:... Tlie -woollen manufactures of New Zealand are steadily improving, and surely if not rapidly their products are approximating, more and more nearly to those of the British manufactures of comparable textures. And the prices are perforce kept at or slightly below the level of' the imported goods. The colonial mills began with the manufacture of thick tweeds, and have :gradu'ally finely down their fabrics until Vi little 'further progress in that direction' ■will make them in this lasfc point of difference -equal "to the imported. In respect of colours and patterns there is now nothing- at ,'iill :between them. Messrs H. S. Lamb'and Co., the tailors of Church Street, "have been making a point of purchasing colonial-made cloths, nob that they more out of them, for it is not the/pasefibut because they believe in encouraging local industry and keeping the monev ■• in -the country. They still find tw>- little of-;±bis local patriotism, and find 1 if* necessary'' to stock imported clotlis a 6 %ell as colonial. ; But, really, if they -were not told the truth, nineteen out of twenty customers would not be able to dfetinguish. between t£em, and if by any chance the importation, of men's suiting materials was wholly stopped, New ; Zealanders could be quite as notably well- dressed.

A meeting of the Accountant Students' Society was held last evening in the Technical school, Mr Gillies presided over rather a poor attendance of members. Hie business of the evening took the form of a question meeting, each member- bein" invited to hand in questions upon any business matter of interest, for discussion at the meeting. About tivo hours were spent in dealing with the various matters that were brought before the meeting, and: those present had a very profitable evening.

An agricultural contemporary offers a suggestion to flourui.illers in the following : —"Hungarv has some very fine .wheat lands on the Danube and its tributaries, and can export large quantities. A specialtv in flour has, however, been made through the action of the Government. Whenever a process is announced, or any change in an old one in milling' wheat, an expert is at once sent to 'investigate it, and see if it is an improvement on the Hungarian methods. ■ So carefully has the subject of wheat and milling been investigated that Hungarian flour is now sold at about 39s,'whereas some Anwrrican is down as low as 26s per 280 lbs.' No doubt their wheat is good, but it is the. process of milling which is the predominant factor in the higher price. Could some of our millers not send a man to Hungary to make' inquiries' and observe this process? Here is a sum far .greater, than the flour duty. Let t'hem'iriake the best article, and Australian flour will not be in it.

A large number of ladies and gentlemen connected with the Sunday Schools and various Guilds of St. Mary's Church accepted the invitation of the choir to a reunion on Thursday evening,' a pleasant time being spent with songs, dancing, and games. Shortly before supper, Archdeacon Harper, on behalf of the choir, presented Miss White with a handsome silver teapot suitably, engraved. In doing 60 the Archdeacon spoke' highly of Mjss White's work both in the choir, and as a Sunday School teacher, and' whilst regretting her departure from '■ Timaru 'yet offered his congratulations and best wishes on her approaching marriage. Mr. R. 'W. Simpson responded on behalf of Miss White, and' in doing eo also bore testimony to the esteem in which that lady is held" by her fellow choristers. AftJer'doing justice to the refreshments the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing until an alarm clock announced that midnight had arrived, the gathering then breaking up after singing " Auld Lang Syne."

[' The citizens of a town in Taranaki notvery far from New Plymouth, are having some amusement at the expense of a hoteli keeper in the place. This hotel teener | came to New Zealand while very young, and is nct» well acquainted with Iris "relatives. A couple of weeks ago a stranger called at the hotel arid informed mine host that he was his younger brothex- just out from England. The unsuspecting Boniface promptly took the stranger to his bosom (figurateiy speaking), and gave him a right royal welcome. The stranger was very plausible. He * had, he said, brought several presents of valuable.jewellery and curios for his sister-in-law and neice, but/ some of his baggage had gone astray. This still more endeared him to the family. He was introduced to all and sundry as "my brother from England." With free board and lodgings and the best of eveiything,' he was enjoying himself immensely. Bub'the local policewill be special services for the anniversary he recognised the stranger. 1 The' hotelkeeper received' a rude shock - when he was informed that his "brother" was a well-known criminal whose special line was false pretences. But the stranger had scented' trouble and had vanished. It is noti safe to speak wf relatives to that hotelkeeper now.

The' Surveyor-General (Mr T.' Humphries), in his annual report makes a reference to the secular movement of the New Zealand coast. He says: "The importance of provision being made for its detection and determination at a later period has been brought under 'notice of late years, birt up to the present no steps appear to have been taken to secure and permanently record' reliable information as to existing conditions, so as to afford data for the determination at some future time of the slow elevation or subsidence of different i>arts of the coastline. This knowledge, apart from its scientific interest, is an important factor in the construction of marine works, as was pointed out by the late Mr P. S. Hay, chief engineer of the Public Works Department, in 1903, in a special report on the subject." As a preliminary to a more comprehensive scheme in the future, in a wider distribution of tide gauges and mean sea-level determinations, it is the intention of Mr Humphries to have the zeros of all existing tide gauges in the various ports of the Dominion carefully connected to permanent marks in secure ' positions on the" shore, which can be' effected at a very small cost.
