A number of Rugby enthusiasts intend travelling to New Plymouth on Saturday to see the return match between the Wanganui and Taranaki representative Rugby fifteens. The Railway Department’s special train, returning from New Plymouth after the match affords these enthusiasts an excellent chance of making the return trip in comfort in one day. Children’s Books at Library.

Some 50 new books have been added to the children’s section of the Public Library. Included in these is a very instructive series of travel books, well printed and copiously illustrated with photographs. Most of these books are written by boys who have Experienced the adventures described in them. With the school holidays close at hand these additions to the library have been made at an opportune moment. Stock on Road.

With a view to warning ratepayers in th© Wanganui County that stock must not be allowed to graze on the road, action was taken against John Mclntyre at the Magistrate’s Court on Monday for herding and grazing cattle on the Marybank road. The defendant said that he was driving from one paddock to another. The County did not press for a heavy penalty, and a nominal fine of 10s, with costs 9s 6d, was imposed.
