The opening of the fishing season in this district brought poor bags. Of recent years the fishing has been extremely poor and few licenses are now being taken out. Shags are very numerous, and as there is no close ■season for these birds, and the Acclimatisation Society gives no royalty to encourage the shooting of the shags, there seems little prospect of any better sport. It is felt by anglers in Central Hawke’s Bay that much more energetic action is required to rid the district of shags. Ladies’ pure silk hose, London heels. Fashioned hose in assorted shades.

Sociability, window-shopping, or just daydreaming, none of these have claim to any place in the driver’s seat. A single second at 30 miles an hour is 44 feet travelled, and a momentary lapse means that distance and more covered with inattention.
