Some Auckland merchants were concerned when it became known that the Napier line would be blocked for a considerable time by the slip on the Manawatu Gorge.

A novel and interesting entertainment will be afforded to the public at the Home Economics Association exhibition in the Caledonian Hall to morrow, when Miss Greenwood’s class will give demonstrations of English folk dancing. Another unique feature will be the camp fire scenes arranged by the Girl Guides. In addition there' will be stalls exhibiting needlework, leather work, home-made toys, cooking, woolwork, and nearly all stalls are holding competitions which the public are invited to enter for. The exhibition promises to be a huge success, and arrangements have been made to accommodate the large number which will be present.
