The Premier concluded his northern tour last evening by addressing a huge audience in the Drill Hall, \\ hangarci, on- the lines of his recent remarks elsewhere. He expressed a firm conviction that if ho had the opportunity of appealing to the country ho would go back with a majority of eight or ten.

A Ladies Committee of the Timaru Branch of the Navy League purpose makiujg a general appeal shortly to the women of New Zealand for shilling subscriptions for the purpose of presenting a silk Ensign and Union' Jack to the battleship "Now Zealand,” when she arrives next year. It is hoped the fund will be truly representative of the whole Dominion.

To the appeals sent from the Grey and Westland districts to the Minister for Internal Affairs, asking for the proclamation of an open season for shooting native game on the Coast, a reply has been received that the Government will adhere to its previous decision in declaring a close season. It is understood that a good few pigeons are nevertheless being shot, more paricularly in the country districts, where the chances of being detected are less than in the case with town shootists. Another instance in the eternal controversy town v. country, and in which tho country scores the major points. The obsequies of tho late John Gregory Harris were carried out on Sunday afternoon at Greymouth, and a largo number of friends of tho deceased, from near and far, attended to pay their last tribute of respect to tho deceased’s memory. Tho cortege moved from tho Post Office Hotel at 2,30 p.ra. for St Patrick’s Church, and thence to tho Greymouth Cemetery. The Rev Father Fimiorty performed tho burial ceremonies, and a large number of immortelles were placed on the grave, hearing eloquent testimony to tho high esteem and respect in which the deceased was hold by tho various clubs of which he was a member, and friends. Telegrams, cards, wreaths, etc., were

received at the Post Office Hotel from friends of the deceased in other parts of tlie dominion.
