To-morrow evening, in the Oxford Terrace Baptist Church Schoolroom, Mr W. A. Kennedy will give his popular lantern lecture, “West Coast Road and Westland.” One afternoon last week a groundsman on a Wellington park was employed in lifting turf and re-laying it after levelling the ground, and when he left the reserve in the evening there remained a heap of turf unused. The next morning, says the 44 Post,” he found that a thief had visited the ground. Not only was the heaped turf stolen, but the placed turf had been removed from the park in a wheelbarrow. This is the third theft of turf that has occurred on the reserve.
