The following is Captain Edwin's weather forecast to 5 p.m. to-day:—"Mod-erate to strong northerly winds with fine weather at places northward of Napier and New Plymouth, but from, the westward elsewhere, probably with rain."

"A domestic servant gets 20s a week and food and lodging, a useful office boy is surely worth 20s without board," was one of the arguments used in favour of increasing the pay of a yotmg employee of the Mackenzie County Council. The argument was convincing.

The usual weeklv meeting of the Life Boat Lodge, No. 101, 1.0. G.T., was Jwld last evening, the C.T., Bro. Muchmore presiding. The programme for the evening was. a debate license v. no license, and was enthusiastically entered into, the license side being ably defended by Bro. Toye. After a very earnest debate a vote was taken and resulted in an overwhelmingly majority for no license. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Bro. Toye for the trouble he had taken in preparing -the debate. One candidate was proposed for membership, after which the meeting closed. The Life Boaf Lodge, 1.0. G.T., will celebrate its 35th anniversary by holding a concert in the Assembly Booms on Thursday next. The programme will be ' given by members of the lodge and is to be a varied and good one. The first part consists of a national circle representing English, Irish and Scotch, with a centre man and niggers on the corners, after which there will be a dialogue, sketch and club swinging, the whole making a first-class programme, and as the charge is only one shilling, it should be well patronised. - The anniversary of the Wesleyan Sunday School is an event that is yearly looked forward to with favourable anticipations by the children and their friends. This year, the anniversary which is -to be held on September 13th, promises to be popular, as for som weeks past, under the tuition of Mr W. Gilchrist, the scholars have been assiduously practising a number of beautiful melodies from the "Yorkshire Choralist." All the selections to be sung are prize tunes, and, Tendered by the sweet voices of a large number of children, assisted by an efficient orchestra, under Mr J. W. Wood, ought to be well worth listening to. On the Monday following the cantata " Christ the Shepherd King," so well Tendered last year, will be repeated. Tbe annual meeting of the = Woodbury Athletic Sports Club was held iu the school on Wednesday evening. There was a very good attendance. Mr. F. R.

Mr. S. Smith, who, some three or four rears ago. showed sufficient fault in the future of Timaru to commence the first wholesale wbollen merchant'.* business here, has found his enterprise so successful tliat he has found it advisable To remove from Strat Italian Street to the admit Mr Norman Willis into partner; new block in Barnard Street * whore he is now located in more commodious rooms Another step be has taken has been to New Zealand Express Company's fine t«hip and in future the firm will carry on business a.« WUfces, Smith and Co. They are now holding a large stock of English and Colonial woollen, and wor»tcd roitingH and costume goods, also tailors' trimmings and furnishings; and the facilities of their new quarter*, on the ground floor of the premise*, enable them to handle these lines to advantage to themselves and the trade. The firm haws found out that their confidence in the port of Timaru ha* been rewarded, for they are able to import woollen good* just x-s cheap or cheaper through Timarn than through any other j>ort. but. in spite of this advantage in importing it w the firms' intention to pn»h the sale of Colonial woollens and to encourage locul industry. Asked a* to the relative merit* of Colonial and English woollens one of the partners *aid that the Colonial woj» fast approaching Knglish. in quality, texture and finish and it wan oulv matter of time before ihey would l»e equal in every respect.

The police require^. owners v for two bicycles, (a lady's and a. roan's), both of which were found in the town. While the Mayor and some councillors present at last night's meeting expre>i>cii their satisfaction at the rejection of Mr Fisher's Municipal Franchise Bill by the legislative Council, one. councillor said: '* It wiU have to come. All reforms are knocked aside at first."

Mr Hugo had a. crowded house- at his lecture last evening iu the Mechanic's Institute, when he spoke uu" foreheads and noses. Tlie lecture was both amusiug and interesting, and largely illustrated. The next lecture will be on Monday evening, upon eyes and eyebrows.

Members of the Mackenzie Conn I y Council remarked that many of the roads in their rough country must have besn laid out on the map. t in straight lines, regardless of the contour of the country, running np hills and along creeks, that ought to have been avoided, and musthave been if the surveyors had laid them out on the ground.

A meeting of the directors of the Pleasant Point Caledonian Society w;i* held in Xelligan's Hotel on Wednesday evening, fourteen directors being presrot, and the president (Mr James Stewart) occupied the chair. The programme committee submitted a draft-for the coming meeting, the total prize money amounting to £95 10s. With a slight alteration the programme was It was decided to substitute a two mile Wheel Race of £lO 10s instead of the three mile race as formerly. Messrs Medlicott and Crozier, on behalf of the Ground Committee reported on the alterations to the running and cycling tract-* Mr Oborn was appointed delegate to the S.C.C. Atheltie Association. An application wn* made for a grant towards the proposed Town clock, and it was decided to let ihe matter stand over until after the animal sports' meeting. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

An informal discussion took . place at yesterday's meeting of the Mackenzie County Council on the advisability of the Council taking action in the direction of organising a system of removing nightsoil for the inhabitants of Fairlie township. The matter was brought np by a ratepayer who waited on the Council to request that a stop be put to the practice of throwing all sorts of rubbish on the roadside along his frontage. It was stated that the Waimate County Council kept a man at St. Andrews, a much, smaller centre, to remove nightsoil. The consolidated Public Health Act was referred to, and it showed that the Council has power to arrange for the sanitary cleansing of any portion of the county requiring it. It was agreed ,however, that the Council ought not to stir in that matter without the advice of tlieir Health Officer, but to-give notice that the deposit of rubbish on the road side must cease.

An unusual legal defence won a case in the Magistrate's Court yesterday. William. Sapwell was charged with , riding a cycle in North Street on the night of August 19th, to which lie pleaded not guilty. Sub-inspector Green put in the by-law on the subject and a witness named Barton stated that, on the "evening-in question, he was riding from town on the left hand side of the street when he met defendant riding on the same side without a light and a collision resulted. Mr. Emslie, representing defendant, asked that the information ' be dismissed on the 'ground that the information said that defendant rode his cvcle "at night," where--as the by-law'said "between 6unset and sunrise" and these terms were- not synonymous. He quoted authorities to show tl»at night commenced at 9 p.m. and ceased at 6 a.m. and stated that there was no definition in the Police Offences Act to the effect thai night', was continuous ,from sunset till sunrise. His Worship upheld Mr. Emslie's contention and dismissed the case without prejudice, the police intimating at the same time tint ,i frvsh information would be laid. At the same sitting of the Court D. Little, for leveling.without a light and thereby b~eiug 'the cause of a collision, was fined 5s and costs; D. Lenihan. for driving a vehicle without ligWs, was mulcted in a fine of 10s and costs; H. Ibberson, for driving a motor car ,jj| a greater pace than four •miles an birar (10 miles according to the evidence), had a penalty of 20s and cos's impo*ed upon him : and a young man named Jeremiah Evans was fined 20s and costs, in default 7 days' imprisonment, for using obscene (language in Church Street ou the night of August 29th. In this case the defendant pleaded guilty and elected to be dealt with summarily, but pleaded that he was under the influence of drink when he used the language complained of. His Worship uttered a camion and inflicted the fin*- .mentioned.

It was again to be expected that the Scottish Reliability Trials, which are recognised throughout the world to be themost #«evere on motor cans would prove that the Darracq cars could beat, a'd com ~ era when it comes to real hard work on rough road* 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 tliird car secured the prize for climbing the Trinafour hill, the Btiffe* grade in the whole trial. Consequently out of the four Parracqs entered three sraitvM prizes thus proving their great reliability qualities. In the Kngiitsh Reliability Trial the little 8 h.p. DeDion ran 2000 miles, and won the first prize iu her class, thus making a most creditable performance for rucli a wnal! car., It is therefore incoming quite monotonous in reading the results of the recent Reliability Trials in all part* of the w.rld. as in all cases wlien there are Darracqs or PeDions entered one can always look a*, tho top of the list for the result* of tfn-ir penonnances. After beemg the ■hove result* it i« no wonder that these cars are named in England " The World's most reliable Curs." Tlie following is a report which was given by one of the greatest authorities in England: "Tlie merit of the jwrformauce* put up by the Darracq care will bo appreciated wh«n it k renumbered that tin- prevailing conditions were of that nature to tetit the capabilities of the ears 1.- th-ir utmost, and anv car which complet-d the trials in the "war in which tlie Darracqs did were curtafnlv the best mude."

' We are in receipt of the September number of *" Good Cheer,' 1 published in Wanganui. This New Zealand home journal, which it all that its title typifies, is a really cieditable production in every way, and we are not surprised that it has proved very popular. It is certainly good value for half-a-crown per annum, including a free cut paitern with each issue. Mr Flatman asked the Minister of Education on Wednesday whether he would make it more generally known that the settlers will he paid for driving their children to primary schools where they reside outside the radius of a primary school to which pupils are expected to walk* The Minister replied that the arrangements were in the hands of. the Education Boards, and he did not see his. way to take any .step in the direction indicated. "■■ - , The Band Contest committee have finally decided not- to accept the offer of the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company's wool store for the use cf the bands competing in the test, selections, the expense of making necessary alterations being cotisidered Joo great. Arrangements have been made for securing the Drill Hall and offers are now being invited for the supply of. seats for the public. It is estimated the hall will easily seat 2,500 people and all the expense that need be incurred is in .the erection of a stage and a sounding board overhead to neutralise the effect of the echoes from the iron roof.

The pleasant weather of the past week h;ts bevn very favourable for gardening and augurs well for a good display of blooms at the coming spring flower show which is annually held in connection with the Mekmesian Mission. The show this year will be held in the Assembly Rooms on Saturdal the 26th instant." Prize schedules can be obtained from the hon. secretary. Mr F. H. D. Foden, Mr P. G. Allen and Mr. G. Cross. In addition to the usual display of spring flowers there will be a botany competition for schools, and classes are provided for cookery, bouquets and decorated dolls prams for school children, the entrance to which will be free. There are also cookery classes for adults and the classes for table and other decorations are sure to fill "well and be a popular feature of the show. •

The American fleet carries a number of newspaper correspondents who were entertained at a special banquet in Sydney. This was attended by the Fedaral and State Premiers, who enjoyed a story told of one of the guests about the late Sir John Mac Donald. Prime Minister of Canada, who, having shaken off the ; curb at a public dinner one night, and promised many things which he had no,intent ion of performing, was amazed to find that his speech had been faithfully reported by a conscientious young journalist who had no idea of the dangerous nature of the bombshell he was preparing. • Sir John Mac Donald sent for him, and when he realised the explosive nature of his notes, ridiculed the idea that he had said anything of* the kind. He then handed him a copy of the speech he had failed to deliver. In parting with the youth the eminent Canadian said, 'Let me give you a word of advice,-as a father to a son. Never.again attempt to report the utterances of a public, man while you are -under the influence of drink.'" The reaction in the trade of New Zealand that has followed upon the American financial crisis, was made the text of a speech by Mr R. Logan, chairman of the National Bank of New Zealand, in London, on 7th July. He stated that the directors of the institution had for some time past been studying the course of events in the Dominion, and he was able to claim that the directors had not only forecasted what had happened, but had prepared for the contingency. He pointed out that owing to the fall-in the value of the exports and the increase of imports, the accumulation of private capital in New Zealand this year will be below that of previous ~ years. - The spending power of he people, therefore will be temporarily^stirtailed..■.-■* To his mind, this set-back would have a beneficial effect, because it would check any tendency toi imbued speculation ih land. The reaction had already caused bank rates for accommodation to harden, and his opinion was that there was a likelihood that money in the Dominion would be dearer and scarcer during the next few months. »
