The stretch of "road now under treatment required attention badly, and when the work is completed, it will add greatly to tie appearance of the northern end of the -tnwn as well as making for greater comfort and convenience. Strong complaints are expressed about the manner in ..which «»««»«- , in«r business at the \l annate -Magis--traVs Court are treated. Subpoena* are timed for 10 o'clock in the mornn*, and repeatedly the Magistrate fails to appear p.m and others doing busmess at the Court are at times seriously inconvenienced, havin" to remain in town waiting four honrs before the Court is .opened.

Professor Sherwood had the satisfaction of seeing another good house at the Theatre Roval last night to witness, the second performance of his company. The programme presented was much the same as that of the previous night, but it vas one that would bear repetition without palling upon the audience One fault raav be mentioned without in anv wav decrying the entertainment. This is that the professor gives too long a programme, and especially is the measure too liberal considering tli'J very moderate prices charged for admission. It lasted over two and a half hours ag a > n last ni"ht, and two hours should be ample lor an all-the-year round performance. The pictures were well put on and the vaudeville items created much merriment. To-night the management promises a change of programme, and this afternoon there wll be a matinee at half-past two. At this the charge will be six pence lor children to all parts of the house. For influenza, take Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. Never fa!?*. 1* £sd and 2s 6d...

The Hon. H. McKenzie, the Victorian Minister of Lands, thinks the country hotels" of New Zealand are excellent, providing good. accommodation at a very reasonable' tariff.

A concert in aid Of the funds of the Geraldine Bowling Club was held in the Parish Hall on Thursday evening. There was a fair attendance, and an excellent programme was submitted. The contributors were Misses Sherratt, Barklie and Young, Messrs B. R. Macdonald, G. Smith, J. Dal ton, and others. Accompaniments were played by Misses Sherratt and Maslin, Messrs Pye and "Woods. At the conclusion the chairman Mr W. A. Sherratt, thanked the audience for their support.

The balance-sheet showed a credit of £6. Nine new members were elected. The club will-open the season next Thursday week. Information which' came from a source which would appear to be reliable, is to the effect that among tne economies 'proposed to be effected by the Government is the abolition of the smaller Education Boards of the Dominion, the intention being to bring about a fusion of the smaller, with the larger districts and to grant rating powers to Education Boards, so that each district, shall to a certain .extent support its own educational institution'? In the event of the South Canterbury- Board being abolished, the district will be governed from Christchurch, inst as Oamaru is governed from Dunedin. Such a scheme would doubtless meet with strong opposition here. '.- A. peculiar sequel to_the noisy Dreadnought meeting at Christchurch on Wednesday night is reported by the "Lyttelton Times." It. is stated thau the'police warned Mr T. E. Taylor that a party of voung men intended to gp up and stone his house on Cashmere Hill. Mr Tavlor, however, made light ot it. He had got home from the meeting and was having lis supper, when there was a knock at the -door. . On going out, Mr Tavlor found eight or nine yoiing men outside. They said they wanted to hear what he had to say about the Dreadnought, and as they quickly became impertinent, Mr Taylor asked . his wife to bring him a cane, and slashing one of them with it, drove the whole party to the road. There they began to pick up road metal, and Mr Taylor warned them that they were tino- an unlawful act, and also that there were constables on the way_out. Two-constables who had been sent out at this moment appeared on. the scene and the raiders, defeated apologised to Mr Taylor. The constables asked whether he would lay an information, Lt he declined to do so, and his visitors shook hands with him and complimented him on his pluck.

Some excitement was occasioned at Cains Terrace on Thursday night by the action of some firemen belonging to the s.s. Rakaia.

Mr T. Lowry has just issued a Timaru Ball Room Guide. It is a handy little volume and from its style and letterpress should be of great use to all lovers of dancing.

It would appear that the abolition of the ward system in the Borough, has had the desired effect in creating a very real interest in the municipial elections. The elections take place on April 28 and it would appear that there will be healthy' competition for at least seven of the seats, members of Mr W. D Campbell's late election committee having held two meeting lately for the purpose of chosing candidates for seats on the. Council. The names of those definitelv selected are as follows: Messrs J..-. Wallace, W. A. Pearson, D. G Watson, F. Palliscr, W. Burmester. C. Kellv, and R. Porter. Should all these be elected it is considered by those responsible for their nomination that they will constitute a strong workin"- majority in the interests of reform, on"the. Council. A suggestion to bring forward a candidate for the. Mayoral cliair was djscussed, but it was decided that it would be better to retain the present Mavor in office until the works for which be was raainlv responsible, are carried through, Mr Palliser in-for-ned a reporter last night that he had no desire or intention to stand for the Council.

Great complaint is made by the farmers atOtaio,-about, shortage of rail-' way trucks. The goods shed is full of grain, and a big lot, is stacked outside. ' There are about ten teams carting, some of them making three trips a day, and the railway is not keeping pace with them. On Thursday one truck was put off, when about 18' were wanted, and on Friday moraine no trucks at all were provided.

The Hon. J. A. Millar, Minister for Railways, stated in the course of an interview at Auckland, that the trafficon the North Tsland Main Trunk Railway lias so far exceeded all expectations. The question was whether it would continue at the present rate, or whether it was merely the novelty of the new route that was appealing to people during the last four weeks. He added: " In addition to the trucks that are being built -here, I have had to transfer from the Wellington section, and also to ship up another fifty from Dunedin, and another fifty waggons are to come from Dunedin which were intended for the Hnrumii-Bluff section, but the pressing: needs of the traffic in the-Auckland district has necessitated the transfer of these waggons to this end."

Ellesmere :—No device or - structure shall be used from or out of which game may be taken or killed on or near Lake Ellesmere, in the Canterbury Acclimatisation District, except a cylin-der-not exceeding 2ft. 6in. in length and open at both ends, or a, hut made of scrub or rushes, or a iriud~hoie, or a minii. No such device or structure shall be placed, put, set out, erected, planted, or used in any part of the said in which the water is marb than 24in. in depth: Provided that boats concealed or hidden in the vegetation growing along the margin of the said lake may be used, but sucli boats shall not be dressed or covered in any way: Provided also that boats not dressed or covered ill any way may be used to recover native game previously shot.

Tho " Otago Daily Times," in an article on Ministerial Activity—referring to the way Ministers of the Crown are flying about the country, thus refers to the one recently in this district: —"MiThomas Mackenzie has been by no means left in the background by the activity of his confreres. His achievement has consisted less in the annihila--tion of cakes and ale than in the demolition of distance. He has been playing in notable style, even for Mr Mackenzie, the role of a veritable Ministerial Ariel. One day we read of him at Mount Cook, wistfully contemplating the ascent of the Hoc.hstetter Dome; the next we hear of his dramatic appearance at a snorts meeting at Clyde, whisked thither by motor car, and ready to express pious sentiments indicative, of a new-born zeal in the, interests of economy—unfortunately, in this case, at the expense of Otago! Yesterday Mr Mackenzie made a somewhat unexpected-appearance 1 in Dnnedin wia Oamaru, to depart again to-day for Middlemarch. The community might appreciate such sentiments of economy from ' Ministers the more were it sure that this unwonted Ministerial travelling zeal is in perfect harmony therewith."

Mr Mark Saunders has applied for a patent for his wave-motor. The "Patents Gazette " publishes the fallowing extract from the specification in place of the " claims'"-:—" A pipe, or a number of pipes, each tapering towards one end, is arranged with their larger ends so- disposed as to be mainly below the level of the water. These pipes are then inclined upwards to their back end, and, are made to extend in a direction corresponding to the direction of movement of the waves, 60 that such waves in their motion' will pass up into such pipes. As each wave passes into the mouth of the pipe it will imprison the air witbirisuch.pipe, and compress and drive it up the pipe and into a compressed-air tank connected with the pipe.: At the same time this water will be delivered from the back end of the pipe into a trough or flume arranged to receive it,' and by such flume bo; conveyed by gravity to operate a Pelton or other motor. Suitable valves will bo provided for preventing any backflow of compressed air or water. The pipes will be so disposed that their mouths may be raised or lowered at will, so that they may bo adjusted to the varying heights caused by the rise and fall of the tide." The drawings are also published.

Miss Strachnn, of Tiraaru, has been secured as instructress.

A "flitting"', was accomplished yesterday successfully by the officials in the office of the S.C. Education Board, which body, being compelled to leave its comfortable quarters in the post office buildings, removed to its new home in the Technical School.
