The proprietors of the Saxon Dairy Company A. H. Mackrell and are notifying their clients that during the montii of July, they are prepared to give 13d per lb for butter tat, which probably constitutes a record price tor South Canterbury.

McKay proceed to Dunediu, to take over the Metropolitan Hotel, Maclaggan street, the lease of which they have purchased.

| AShen a young lady journeys all the i way from Tima.ru to give her valu;}d i services at the Technical School Concert at Temuka, it is indeed singular-, ly unfortunate that her purse (ocmj taming a sum of money and a railway pass) should vanish, yet one of last j Tuesday's j>erformers had this unwel- ; come experience. It is presumed the young lady dropped the purse i-fter leaving the hall, and though a hurried search was made it was not found. Presumably it had been picked up by someone.

■ The entertainment given by a num- , ber of Timaru musical people in aid of the funds of the Temuka Technical Association on "Wednesday night, waa poorly attended owing to the incle-' ment weather.
