Mr Paulin anticipates that an Antarctic storm, with heavy north-west to south-west winds and rain, snow and hail, will he experienced in southern New Zealand between May 17 and June 4. Mr Wraggc has also issued a warning of rough weather to arrive shortly,—much rain, heavy squalls and very unsettled• conditions. The inaugural meeting of the Oamaru Trotting Club will bo held on Thursday. June Kith, and nominations close with the secretary at 9 p.m. tomorrow. The Club have made a splendid track, and erected an up-to-date, stand, and as the prize-money for one, day amounts to £2BO, good nominations are anticipated. The removal of two tarpaulins from two trucks of straw, for use by the remover on trucks of wheat proved a very expensive act, as the S.M. at Waimate assessed damages and costs resultinc therefrom in all at £l2 2s Sd. The straw trucks had two tarpaulins'on each and the defendant stated that lie thought he was entitled to use one each from two of the trucks to sheet over his wheat.

During the hearing of the bootmaker's dispute on Tuesday, Mr Justice Sim said that the Court would take the. award of 1905 and would not alter it unless the workers showed good reason for the Court so doing. It ap-. peared to him that the workers demand turned the previous award upside down. It was ridiculous the waydemands were drawn up, instead of bein<T made simple and being limited to the points in dispute. It was asked that "the whole of the original award should be varied in many respects in regard to non-essential and non-con-tentious points. The monthly meeting of the Winchester School Committee was held on Monday evening. Present: —Messrs J. Wiiks (chairman), J. Boston, ARussell, D. Enright, A. McDonald, A\ . Harrison and R. Maddren. The headmaster reoorted a roll number A* with 75.5 of average attendance. J lie Inspector (Mr J. G. Gow) had visited the school on 29th April. It was decided to get the piano tuned, to give winter holidays from May 31st to -Tune 14th and to have 75i't. ot a newly laid drain lifted and the pipes put deeper. The formation of a library was discussed hut members were opposed to tlie. idea, and ro action was taken, lhe secret arv reported that since last meeting £li 18s had been paid into the committee's account. Writing in the Auckland " * tpT \ Mr Clement Wragge explains .that ,a •• Carroll," a "Miller." a "Massvv or anv other storm or aerial disturbance requires for its genesis the intimate relation of a high pressure and a low pressure area in the itmosphere. " Hence the storm system as a whole carries the name, apart troni the a.'tuai reading of .the barometer at any one-"place. Very often these (lin ui iances develop or fling ofl ioxv h.-t e secondaries or satellites—perie.-t little 'devils.' some of-them may be--:in<i thev nie.v be likened to the eddies. <n the'backw ater of a river swirling-. rci,nd the ed< r e of the inairi stream.

On Fridav last the bachelors of Motukaika held a srccessful ball in the wool shed, kindly lent by Mr F. J. Million. About 30 couples took part, in vtlie grand march, which was ably led oq bv "Mr G.

Reference was made at the meeting of the South Canterbury Chamber of Commerce last night to the very large amount of shipping there had been at the port during the past 10 days. Mr Young said he believed he was right in saying that its equal had not been seen here during the nast 20 years, and other members agreed that it constituted a record for the port. Owing to the kindness of Mr Orwin. some cvcliste of the town has jn all probability had her cycle saved from possibl° loss and damage. Mr Orwin yesterday noticed a cycle leaning ur> airginst his garden fence in Elizabeth street, and as it remained there the whole afternoon and evening, Mr Orwin took it inside, and is now keeping it. for the owner, who may have it on application.

A very important clearing sale will take place to-day at the Raukapuka homestead, when Messrs Guinness and LeO'ren, associated with the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, will sell the live and dead stock, on account of Messrs Campbell .Bros.

The Government Superintendent of Agriculture in Victoria is engaged, in an effort to' induce farmers in the Maffra district to go in for growing sugar beet, in order that a sugar-fac-tory in that district, which . was run for some time and then shut down, may be restarted. A sugar import has reported favourably on the prospects of the manufacture, and if tlie farmers will grow roots the Government- will-import-a factory expert from America. The first two matches of the Friendly Societies' card tournament will be played this evening. The Druids v. the" Hibernians, in Hilton's tea rooms, and the ■ 1.0.0. F., M.U., v. the 1.0.0.

The'following will represent the 1.0.0. F., A.C.: —Messrs Amos, Barr, .Bracefield, Mills, Mitchell, Shaw, Johnson,' Brake, Thin, Moore, Roddick, Wares, Dalgleish, and Leslie. The "Otago Daily Times" report of Mr McNab's' address in Dunedin indicates that Mr McNab was frequently applauded, a good evidence that he was worth listening to. Among those on the platform were a number of volunteer officers in ordinary dress, and doubtless this will be the case at Timaru to-morrow evening. In consequence of Mr McNab's visit, the annual smoke concert of the South Canterbury Reserve Corps, which had been fixed for to-morrow- evening, has been .adjourned for a week, in order to leave the members at- liberty to hear the address. '1 he Mayor will , preside, and volunteer officers are specially invited.

A very enthusiastic meeting of the committee which is arranging the complimentary social for Mr J. Craigie, M.P., oil June 3rd, met in the Arcade Cafe last evening, Mr R. IT. Bowie presiding over an attendance of seventy sympathisers with the movement. The reports of the sub-committees, which, were of.a very satisfactory nature, were received. It was stated that the "arrangements for the catering will be .of a special nature, and the music, for the dance that is to be held in the evening, will be first-class, so that,- with other attractions, the large numbers- that are expected to attend on the night in question are assured of a most enjoyable evening.

A lecture is to be delivered by Mr G. Laurenson, the member for L.vttelton, in the Technical School next Monday evening, under the auspices of the Timaru ■ Literary and Debating Society. The subject chosen by the lecturer is a sociological one, viz., " Problems we have got to solve." The Society has determined to make a small charge of 6d for admission, and that the . amount* less the expenses will be handed over to the Technical School authorities. It is.hoped that all who can will make a point of attending. The Society has also completed arrangements with Mr A..R:. Barclay, exM.P. for Dunedjn North, to deliver a lecture the following Monday evening.

Oainaru people, and insurant companies doing business in have reason to feel uneasy at the frequency of fires there. On Monday night the pavilions of two bowling clubs, were burned. There was in each case a considerable loss of material, besides the building. Mr U. S. Cray, in speaking to a proposal that the South Canterbury Chamber of Conjmerce should-' hold an annual dinner as a means ol popularising itself, deplored the apatliy of commercial men, as shown in tlieldifficulty of getting them, together, to look after their interests and the interests of the districts in which they lived; and said it was much to be regretted that they had to hold out a feed to them as an inducement -to join, ail institution like the Chamber of Commerce. >

Professor Sherwood's , biograph entertainment again drew a. good house to the Theatre Royal last evening, when the ; a me excellent programme was viewed with appreciation and attention. The Pipe Bands paraded in front of the Theatre and (regaled the crowd with some stirring: airs, and then several members of tlie band took advantage of the Professor's invitation and went, inside to spend a pleasant and profitable evening in watching the display of. moving pictures. As showing how soma ./local bodies were willing to make use jnf the Chamber of Commerce while steadfastly neglecting to join it, the; secretary referred at the annual meeting last night, : to the fact that Mackenzie County Council' had sought the chamber's assistance when -it < wanted - the time-table for the Fairlie train altered, but ■ after the , Council |iad .obtained what it wanted, no tiling was heard from, it about joining though it had been asked to do so. ' f "Have vou made a fortune, at sawmilling?" asked Mr Field, M.P.. of a witness at the Timber .Commission at Wellington on Friday, j The witness smiles.. "As a money-making busiTiess,'' lie replied, ''it's the worst thing there is.

Tlie " Mail " suggests that the" unusual epidemic'of'"drunks may have been due to a reported ingenious evasion of the Act. Having procured a bottle, of whisky, it is said to be fairly common for a* man to take , his whisky into a hotel, order and pay, for, a glass of soda or lemonade and-mix the two in the hotel. Apparently there is no infraction of the law in' regard to suc-li tricks, as only a glass of soda or lemonade is sold, and the price paid is only for the soda or lemonade. Captain Cozens, lecturing in Wellington on matters seafaring, became facetious over the happy-go-lucky way in which dangers to navigation have been discovered around our. coasts in tlie absence of a systematic detailed survey. It appeared toij be the . custom, he said, to wait until things iiappened, and when a vessel struck an uncharted rock it secured the -doubtful honour and glory of having the rock ever afterwards called by the ship's name. Thus we had on the- East Coast tlie Hawea, Monowai, : ,Tomoana, Tokomaru, and Waihora, rocks, all of which had been "discovered" by these vessels. This was liow the surveying of NewZealand coasts was being done!

After visiting many places in the North Island to lecture on " Compulsory Training," Mr McNab says that he was generally W'ell received, and he thinks that compulsory military training will come; if it does not come now, it will certainly be the dirst thing in the event of a, serious war" taking place. The Dominion needed a system which would enable men- to get spare time without loss to themselves, and which would prevent employers of labour from being able to differentiate between men who were in the Delence Force and men who were out of it-. Rich and poor alike should he placed in. a position to help in the. defence of their country. That could only be done by introducing an element'of universality and compulsion. Quoting Mr Haldane's remark that tlie Empire is not held together by the waving of flags, the "New Zealand Times" says: "It is held together by the industry > the public spirit, and the intelligent co-operation of each individual citizen. . The Empire is held together better by the man w r ho does an honest day's work than by the individual who absents himself.from duty and utters or listens to rhodomontade. The Empire was not built by flag wavers. It was built by workers —the pioneers and the men of brain, enterprise, and concentrated endeavour who followed the pioneers. There is a danger of these things being forgotten. There is a fear that some of our writers, educationists, and public men, with the best but most mistaken motives possible, are misleading the upspringing generation as to what patriotism means. Patriotism means sticking to the job in hand, and doing with all thy might that which the hand findeth to do."

"When, the Oamaru rain-making experiments, were ended in there remained a balance of the moneys provided, somewhere between £l2O and £l5O.

Quoting from an authority in 'lie Supreme Court at Wellington, Mr .Skerrett, K.C., read out the aphorism, "Pull devil, pull beggar." ''Pull devil, pull baker,' I always thought it was, your Honour," he continued. "So did returned Plis Honour; "perhaps ' begfjar' is a corruption . foi: 'baker.' Otherwise, the allusion is'obscure.
