The bulk of the new season's ordeis hxs been tor 46m. sacks rather than for 44in. Millers are expressing their intention of giving preference to wheat contained in 46in. tacks, as-they find that the smaller bag trill not conveniently nor advantageously hold 2001b of flour, and they are not inclined to face the loss which a stock of the smaller bags would represent at the end of the season. Experienced storemen agree that 2001b of grain in 46in. sacks means slack bags, and consequent danger to those who have to handle 3nd itack -them. ±»*ight will in that case hardly be beneficial to the men in whose interest the railway regulation was ostensibly framed. The -Marine Band held a very successful basket social in the Assembly Booms last evening with the object of raising funds to procure a uniform for the conductor of the. band, it being considered desirable that the. conductor should be so equipped in view of the forthcoming band contest. The Assembly Booms were artistically decorated for the occasion this being the work of Mrs Watson and a number of other friend* of members <A the band. The contents of the boskets taken to the social by the ladies who were there furnished an ample supply of refreshment*; good dance music was supplied by Mr Mayo's band, and Mr J. curri« proved an admirable M.C. At intervals during the dancing some Scottish dances were given by Miss Burns and her two brothers.

At the Tennttka MagistrS?« Court, yesterday, before Mr C. A. Wray, S.M.. duo. Casey was charged with being a lunatic nob under proper control, and also wi*h being drank on the l<tth September. After hearing a nntnber of witnesses, Mr Wray *aid that there were apparently unfounded suspicion* against Cas*y a* to hj» staU» of mind. H« Worship, however, held the charge of drunkenness to be proved, and after severely cautioning accused, fined him 20s and ordered him to pay ICa for medical' expenses, in default 24 hour?. - imprisonment.

-" The Totara Football.Club-will hold that annual "dance in Mr F. Dickson's granary on Friday,;" October 9th.

The Timaru Gun (3ub intend to hold a £65 bird match at Saltwater Creek on Show Day, October 2Kb. Candidates for junior and senior scholarships offered by the Waimate High School Board, dim send in their ai>plk-a-, rions not later than September 29th. The Second Ballot Bill, on the motion for its third reading in the Legislative Council y<st«rday, had a '"close ealL" It was finally agreed to by one vote—l 6 to 15.

The Timarn Rifles hold their third Cinderella Dance in the Drill Hall this evening. The first and second of the series Wt:re very successful, and this the fin?l one, should be well attended. Mrs Hnrdley provides the music. At the garden party to be held in con? nection with the band contest, Mrs Cooper, assisted by Mrs Ford and a number of others, will have charge of the refreshments. The committee Lave been very successful in obtaining subscriptions and gifts of goods for the party. The Temuka Municipal Brass Band, which has remained somewhat dormant fur some rime past, made a fresh start ou Monday night, under the conductorship of Mr W- Coombes. There was a fair attendance of members, and it is to be hoped that the band will now-pull together. .. There is a probability that the South Canterbury Acclimatisation Society will bring a test case against fishermen who take out a 10s license from the Waitaki Acclimatisation Society to fish the Pareora, the contention being'that such fishermen have no right to fish on the Timaru side of the river as this is. not in the district for^which their license is granted. ' The Public Works Statement,- totalling about 10,000 words, or something like-10 columns of the "Timaru Herald" if published in full, was received at, the' Timaru telegraph of Gee last evening by four operators in a little over 2£ hours.' The offi-cer-in-charge (Mr Domett) and his staff deserve the thanks of the Press for' the expeditious and way in which the lengthy message "wasJklivered. • .

Mr W, J. Aitken, acting shunter at Timaru, who was recently married, was the recipient last night, of two easy chairs from his fellow employees. Mr Graham, in making the presentation, said he was pleased to see Mr Aitken settling down to married hfe,.but he hoped the easy chairs would not keep.him from his obligations to attend tl»".meetirigs of railway .men held for their amusement. Other speakers congratulated Mr Aitken, who made suitable acknowledgment, of the gifts. It would appear that the North Ganterbuix Farmers! Co-operative Association is not treating its purchasing shareholders as überallv as shareholders in the Canterbury Farmers' Co-operative Association are being treated. The former is paying a bonus of only 3 per cent, on purchases, as compared with 5 per cent. . paid by the Conterbury Farmers' Co-operative Association. Complaint was made at last Saturday's meeting that 8 per cent, was too much to pay on capital, but the northern association are paying ; 9 per cent. Last year this association paid 10 per cent, on capital and 4 per cent, on purchases.

At the rehearsal of H.M.S. Pinafore last night, in the Arcade Cafe, the Timaru Operatic Society took the opportunity to present Miss Madge Hole with an address and souvenir front past and present members, on the occasion of bfjr approaching marriage. The presnrtation* was mad© by the stage manager, Mr H. S. Moore, who gracefully referred to Miss Hole's connection with the Society since its inception. The secretary responded on behalf of Miss Hole, who also expressed her thanks, and' «aid it bad always been a pleasure to her to attend the rehearsals and performances. The presentation took the form of an initial and engraved brooch, which had been specially made and designed.

People whd'converso audibly in a theatre during a performance are regarded both by tlie audience and the playeiu as being almost ** beyond the pale." It is rarely, however, that anyone ever takes steps to enforce silence unless the offenders are very noisy, lint at the performance of the Scarlet Troubadours at Christ church on Saturday evening a member of the troupe took effectual, though simple, measures to stop an evidently interesting discussion in the orchestral stalls. He had sung two verses of a song' when he" became aware of the talking. He Mopped, and. with au air of deference, said to the audience: "1 am sorry, but 1 am interrupting a /conversation in the stalk," and he retired to his seat. There has been installed in the Timaru post office mail room a mechanical appliance for . postmarking and defacing stamp* on letters. It is ingenious in its operation, and a great time raver as well as labour saver, as it will stamp several hundred letters per minute. It is. driven by a small electric motor, and when the user becomes expert in its use, the letters fly through it. The machine however, cannot be used unless it is housed in some way, becau.se some parts of itx gearing make such a noise as to make the transaction of business at the public counter impracticable. It is strange that a machine whose operating parts are silent or nearly so, should havei intermediate gearing so noisy.

The Buperior quality and excellence of the pianos imported and told by the Dresden Piano Co. Ltd. has just been demonstrated in the most emphatic manner. During the past official year 600 piano* were imported into Dunedin, and 500 of the>e were sold by the Dresden. In other words the Dresden sold 500 pianos during the past financial year against iuQ by two other concerns. No other piano bonse can show such a record.

There has been no business at the Magi<rate's Court for the past two days, but an important civil action is to come up for hearing .to day,.this being in. the nature of val .claim against the Union Company. The-bank pass-book laid upon the table at Saturday's meeting, of the Waihemo County Council, showed a credit balance of £2 15s lOd. The clerk.incidentally mentioned that dnriag the. last- 16 years this \vas the first occasion on which the' council's banking account- had been in credit.

3so cars Live won greater renown, in speed contests, hill-climbing competitions, and tc*as of reliability, than the. Darracqs and Da Dions.

If yon require a car that you can absolutely dejK-nd upon, in any anil all emergencies, for all and any class of work, town work, country work, touring or racing-a tar which, in design, material, and const-ructiono,- lias emerged triumphant, where otbeTs have failed, from the eevere- U'sis that human ingenuity can devise—let that car be a Darraeq. Arrange for a trial run and decide for yourself as to the merits of the far famed l>e Dion.
