NEWS AND NOTES

Attention is drawn to an illustrated lecture on rabbit farming to be delivered by Mr W. G. Wright, president of the Co-operative Rabbit Breeders’ Association of N.Z. (Inc.), in the Wentworth Hall on Wednesday night. To-night’s skating carnival promises keep up the high standard set by former ones. The big event will be the hockey match between a team from H.M.S. Dunedin and the local side. Both elevens are fit and an exciting game is sure to be played. Since their last match here the sailors have played in Auckland. Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin and should, with the benefit of this experience, fully extend the local side. A race for sailors only will also be held. The usual carnival novelties will be on the programme. The Rite Dance Club offers its patrons a good entertainment at the Goode Intente Tea Rooms to-night. A grand vaudeville entertainment, in aid of the funds of the Endeavour Sea Scouts, will be given by a concert party from the HJM.S. Dunedin in the Theatre Royal to-morrow night. A first-class programme comprising an unusual variety of vaudeville items has been arranged. Rabbits are again very numerous in many parts cf Southland (says the “Times”). A reporter who had occasion to visit the southern district was astonished at the colonies to be seen on he road flanks in proximity to gorse hedges. The proportion of black rabbits seemed unusually high. That a good many Americans are wholly ignorant of the whereabout of New Zealand was made evident to Mr Prank Milner during his recent tour. One dear old lady told hit'. that she knew New Zealand was on one side of Australia, but she was not sure which side. A girl in a Western Union telegraph office absolutely insisted that New Zealand was in Australia, and added the name of the Commonwealth to the address Mr Milner had written out. He was frequently asked if the kangaroo was a dangerous animal. Part of his mission had been to convince Americans that although New Zealand was territorially a bagatelle, qualitatively she counted for a great deal. Rheumatism is successfully treated with Rumatox. It promptly relieves the pain and loosens stiffened points—results which are due to the property It possesses of expelling uric acid from the system.
