SUMMER TIME USHERED IN WITHOUT TROUBLE.
As from yesterday sportsmen and others throughout New Zealand benefit from the provisions of the Summer Time Act, which provides for advancing clocks and watches by one half hour on the second Sunday in October. People are now becoming used to the measure and take the precaution of advancing their watches and clocks before retiring for the night. The two previous years when the Act was in force gave them warning of what they might expect if they overlooked this, and the incidents humorous and otherwise which marked the earlier stages of the Act’s existence are practically a thing of the past. There were a few late arrivals at the churches in the morning but otherwise there was no dislocation of the even tenor of life.
