Mr Craigie, as chiiirman of the Tiniaru Harbour Board, has received an invitation from tlie chairman and members of the Otago Dock Trust to

attend a luncheon at Port (.'haliners on June 30(11, on the occasion of the opening of the new graving dock. Tlie invitation has been accepted. The adjourned meeting at Waimate in connection with the formation of a St. Augustine's Young Men's Club was held on Tuesday There was a fair attendance and a strong committee was formed, with Mr R. A. Colville as secretary. Fifteen new members were added, and it is anticipated that the club will be very successful. Settlers on the Otekaike Government settlement have made a vast difference their holdings, through the improvements which they'have put- in. A big area of the settlement .is under wheat this year, -hat sown iii the autumn now looking particularly well. The fine, open winter has kept the slseep in good condition : there is plenty of feed for the winter months, ami the prospects now ahead ot the settlers have never been brighter.

In pursuance- of 'lie decision of Congress in 15)00 to erect, a monument at Berne, commemorating the foundation of the universal 1 osial luiion, the Swiss Federal Council invited competitive designs, and that of Rene £>t.

The monument will shortly be completed, and will be unveiled in September, New Zealand being represented by the lion. W. Hall-Jones.

At Tuesday's meeting of the A\aimatc liorougiL Council, me Mayor n|Hji'ted in connection w itli a dead luck which occurred at a former meeting | w nen there were six councillors eligible I to vote and they were equally divided and where he acted as chairman, but being interested did not consider lie was entitled to give a easting vote. He had a legal opinion -to the effect tnat he woiud be justified in closing a deadlock of this nature by giving a cas.ing vote witiiout rendering hinioclt liable to any penalty. He gave the Council notice that in case a similar circumstance arose he would then give his deciding vote. Mr H. J. Marriner, president of the Cliristchurch Chamber of Commerce, lecturing oil "The Rise of Modern Germany" and .-■■ peaking from firsthand knowledge, iic liaving paid an extensive visit to Germany last year, discussed .the various causes that have led to the wonderful -development of German commerce, especially since the Franco-Prussian War of I*7o. 'ln Government take every opportunity of fostering local manufactures, and have put up a big tariff wall to assist that object. Their technical colleges are of the very finest, and the iicople themselves are |>ossesscd of an over-master-ing ambition to jbtain commercial supremacy. What few colonial possessions Germany has are in tropical or sub-tropical climes, in which no white man can live, and therefore fresh colonial fields are needed for the ever-in-creasing population, which has risen from 39 milions in 1870 to 64 millions at the present time. Their exports have increased by 400 per cent, in forty years. ■

A good deal of corres|M>ndcnce was flealt with in connection with Mic art union ami other business of a routine •■•harneter v.as settled. It was agreed that on one night voluntcrs in uniform should be admitted free to the bazaar. The chairman rej*ortcd that he had a ; ked *l._l''* Hurciley to act with Mr H. H. Kirk at the local industries stall, and the rcmiest had liccii ••■implied with. This wa> considered very satisfactory, as in the hands of these two officials the stall was sure to be a great success. The manager ami secretary were asked to have the art union tickets printed as soon as possible. A sub-committee was appointed to draw up a programme of displays. It is intended to mak' these a special feature. The : Mounted Rifles promised to organise buck-jumping competitions and to run Pierrott. entertainni-uts.

The civil sittings of 'lie Magistrate's Court took place yesterday morning, before Mr V. G. Day, S.M., and though number of eases were called, yet in every case they were either struck out or adjourned. The Hawke's Hay Agricultural and ."astoral Association is evidently in a good way. At the annual meotieg "n Tuesday last £4OOO was allocated for the coining year's expenses, an increase of £SOO on last year's. The "M'mhership of the society is now over 10(H). Last year's operations resulted in a net profit of over ( £SOO.

A report has been going the rounds to the effect that, the South On it :*•- bury Dairy Company intended to "I >se flown. Knquiry at the office elicited the fact that *:his is ouito erroneous. It is the intention of the company, however, to sell ♦lieir property as a going concern if possible, and it is now being advertised in North Island papers.

Mr Wrngge stated that when "Taylor" came along it would "give us fits." It is understood that the change of weather on Tuesday evening, from warm lior'wester t" cold souther, with rain, was "Taylor." The "fits" were not severe in 'his quarter, but they put a coat of snow" all over the rang -s on Tuesday night and in the small hours of yesterday morning. Then in the forenoon the c-louds cleared away entirely, and a sunny afternoon followed.

A young man rose at a ratepayers' tramway meeting at New Brighton, and asked ah elderly candidate what "nullifications he possessed for the practical management of trams. " Well," replied the candidate. "if von ask me to answer that I will have to go a long way back. My first experience of tramways was in 1845 laying a tramway through the Thames tunnel. I was then articled to Bruiiuell. 'I hat was a day or two ago. and since then I have been making railways and tramways and roads ofl and ou all the time."

It will be remembered that -some time ago a letter appeared iu the correspondence columns of the Press criticising the South Canterbury Kducation Board for placing an order, for 100 school desks with' a Canadian firm, with the result that the Board at its last meeting decided to ask lor estimates for the work from New Zealand firms. Speaking to a well-known tradesman of the town yesterday, a reporter elicited the opinion that the letter ill question could sc;i r cely have been written by anyone who was ill the trade, or he would have known that under the present conditions of labour in the Dominion they could ' not compete with Canadian imports. In Canada, rules against the employment of lads were not so stringent, consequently they were employed to tend the up-to-date machines with which the major portion of the work was done. Then again they had suitable timber at their back diKir. so to speak, which would greatly reduce "lie cost of production. American ami Canadian mad" (•hairs were imported in large quantities into Australia at a price at which local manufacturers could not. possibly coinlute; these wen- not shoddy ar f idcs. but good, soundly made pieces of furniture. Practically the only articles which New Zealand tradesman could make as cheaply as their American competitors were roll-top desks. on whi'-h freight charges were verv heavy as they were bulkv articles. Lvn at the price the South Canterbury Kdu<'»tio'i Board were ofl'oriug. n-'melv £1 apiec>. he did not think tb" l'r-al men would inclined to tackle the desk proposition.

The promoters of the presentation to Mr \\ illiani livans, in recognition ot the valuable work he has done lor tlie harbour of. Timaru, are meeting with gratifying success. It should be understood that -iithough the movement itartcd at Alburv, subscriptions to the fund fire not conlincd to that district, it being the intention that everyone ill Souh Canterbury who cares to do so, should lie given an oppoitunity of contributing. The Hon. G. Fowlds says that the criticism which lias been levelled at the appointment of the lion. Mr Carroll as acting-Prime Minister requires no defence or explanation.. • "Mr Carroll," he said, 'ls the senior member of the Ministry, £'iid everyone who knows him also knows that he has got quite sufficient ability and tact to discharge the duties of the office in a perfectly manner.

Batchelor and Dr Trub.v, who recently in Wellington interviewed Mr G. Hogben. Inspector-General of .Schools, on the question. The.v found that Mr Hogben was thoroughly in sympathy with the proposal, and that he had been working on exactly similar lines. He had recently been through America and Canada, and Was much impressed with the work of these schools in those countries. The curriculum was prepared with a view of suiting local conditions ind requirements, and will be submitted- to the University Senate for consideration.

Mr Guise* Brittan has mentioned to a I'lir'stchurch paper a very strange coincidence, which, he has noted, has come round with remarkable regularity for many years. It almost invariably happens' ou June 21, the shortest daj of the year, and the calendars' fixed date for the middle of winter, Christchurch is visited by a. tnid-sumnv' 1 ' " nor-wester." According to the usual habits of " nor-westers " the.v ought to be out of court altogether iust now, but on Monday a very one put in an appearance, and it was so much in evidence that it was the general topic of conversation in the city, 'f he same thing has happened year after vear with hardly a break for the past ten or twelve years at least. Ml' ISrittaii, indeed, says that during that period he has not known of an exception to this strange ride.

Accused, who is a burly looking young mail, appeared in Court bearing tangible traces of his rough and tumble with the constable, in the form of extensive abrasions above the right eve ' and upon the right cheek; he stated that he remembered nothing at all about the occurrence. Surgea ufc Bowman prosecuted for the police, and stated that the accused was not only violent before arrest, but- afterwards when liewas put into the lock-up he hit Constable Regan a tremendous blmi on the i-iw 'while lie was searching him. Constable Smith gave evideil'-e as to th<urrest. and His Worship fined accused 70s on each charge or in default seven days' imprisonment.

In past time the' first thing done to a burn or scald was to exclude the air.

The original Maori name for New Zealand, "Aotearon" is commonly translated "Long AVhite Cloud." Mr H. Symons, of Auckland, says that cannot be right as "Ao-tea-roa." means "Land-light-long.To make out long white cloud the word should be Au-tea-roa. Mr Symons suggests that the Maoris com inn from lower latitudes, ■whejpfe the twilight is short, they were -V ], v fi,e lon'/ twili'dits of New Zealand, and named their new lmmc •u—"i-flinjdv—the land of long light.

The incursion of the American Trust into the frozen meat trade in England lias induced a. Dunedin contemporary to reprint some advice given to New Zealand producers two years ago bv Mr Gilbert Anderson, when speaking at the Dunedin Winter Show of 1907. One piece of advice was "combine"—get rid of the nuisance of r im-ltiplHty of smoll consignments. Another item was "adopt American methods"—'find what your customers want and give it to them. "AVc want to send tegs when the buyers want lambs; we want to sell big coarse .mutton when 1 hcv want to buy a small joint. Give a buyer what lie wants so long as lie pays for it." Speaking to a "New Zealand Times" reporter Mr Robt. McNab (who has closed his "universal training" campaign, prior to leaving for England) said: "I do not think, although 1 spoke at twenty-five meetings, that the subject has. been sufficiently dealt with, and had it not been for my intended trip to the Old Country, I would have continued my campaign, as I had no fewer than twenty-eight invitations that had to be declined. If on my return. from England, I find that the subject has not been dealt with by Parliament, it is more than probable that the work of the last five weeks will be continued - next autumn, in those nlaces I have so far been unable to visit. I feel certain that if a plebiscite of New Zealand were taken- lust now a proposal for universal military training would liayc "no difficulty of being carried l>y a three-fifths majority." The growth of Morven, the central Stat<;. to.vnshio of the WaiKakahi settlement, and the presence of numerous settlers in the neighbourhood belonging to the Anglican Communion, have led to the desire for a local church being given effect to, and on Tuesday afternoon the Ven.
