NEWS AND NOTES

The big attraction at the Scottish Society’s week-end dance on Saturday evening was the prize offered—“a trip to Mount Cook.” In this competition there were 20 competitors, the fair sex showing marked superiority in the manipulation of the “arrow.” Miss Reid proved the winner. Mr Tohill won the novelty and Monte Carlo events, Miss McGoogan sharing the honour in the latter. Novelty prizes were won by Misses Chiles, Leatham, Mrs F. Reid and Mr Nesson. The Carlton Dance Club again proved a very popular attraction last Saturday evening. Four couples were selected in the second series of the waltzing competition. Novelty prizes were won by the following:—Messrs J. D. Cummings, O. Geddes, T. DeClifford, Misses J. Williams (2), and A. White. The booking for the community singing to-night in the Theatre Royal is exceptionally heavy. Mr A. Brown and Dr. A’Court are the main attractions. Everything points to an excellent entertainment. Attention is drawn to the sale of “Ryde Farm” near Waimate, on account of the trustees of James Scott, also a grazing run in the Hakataramea Valley. A bright story, with a sporting flavour, of his first visit to a city was told, with apologies previously made for “poetic license,” by the Mayor of Dunedin (the Rev. E. T. Cox) at the Dental Association’s dinner. Many years ago he had been in Wellington, and had attended a church service. The preacher had delivered an inspiring address on “Benevolence,” and he had been so impressed with it that he had made up his mind to put the precepts into practice. The next morning he had met a man who appeared to be in want, and, taking his purse out of his pocket, he had handed him a couple of pound notes. The man appeared rather surprised, and asked what the notes were for. He had replied for “charity,” and the man took the money and disappeared. The following day the man had called at his hotel and had handed him a roll of notes. He had also been somewhat surprised, and had asked what the money was for, and he had received the answer: “For Charity; you were the only one that backed him.” Mr Cox said that he had told them he was speaking with poetic license. Had it been a true story, he would probably have been a bookmaker’s tout for the rest of his life instead of the first citizen of Dunedin. Members of the Christchurch Student Christian Movemen. will entertain Mr H. B.

More than 100 persons, representative of every city and suburban parish, attended a general meeting of Roman Catholics held in Wellington to make preliminary arrangements for the celebration of the diamond jubilee of the consecration of his Grace Archbishop Redwood, S.M., as Bishop of Wellington.
