NEWS AND NOTES.

Railway timetable and fares in connection with Waimate Hunt races on Saturday appear in this issue. Nine degrees of frost were recorded in Wanganui one day last week, this being the heaviest frost for some years. The hoary covering was seen as early as 10 o’clock the previous night, which is an unusual occurrence in those parts. Suburban residents who depend upon tanks for thenwater supply found themselves in an awkward predicament in the morning when taps were frozen. The highpressure supply, however, was not affected by the frost. Early in the morning the mantle of white over the landscape had the appearance of a light fall of snow. The opinion that there is far too much pessimism, and far too little appreciation Of the conditions in New Zealand, was expressed by Mr J. A. C. Allum, in speaking to members of the Karangahape (Auckland) Road Business Promotion Society. “I would suggest that we in New Zealand are far better off than people in many other parts of the world,” he declared. By the way some people spoke, it would almost seem as if the country was about to go under the sea. Husband Startled.—Mr B. gave his wife 10/6 to buy him a shirt. She came home with a shirt, a tie, sox and half a dozen handkerchiefs, all for 10/6 —she’d been to Cameron's sale The inherent beauty and brilliance of cut crystal, and the entire absence of colours make it ideal for displaying flowers of every kind and hue with the most artistic effectiveness.
