♦ The- Rev. J. E. Dove, the new headmaster for Wanganui College, is expected by the Ruapehu next week. We understand that several changes will take place shortly in. the management of 71. and E. Tingey, Ltd. Mr Richard Tingey, of Wellington, and Mr Albert Tingey, of Palmerston North, intend leaving next Thursday for Sydney, to catch the P. and O. boat for London. Mr EdwarcT Tingey, of Wanganui, will take up his residence at the headquarters of the firm in Wellingtno. and Mr Percy Tingey will take charge of tlft Wanganui branch. Writing from Melbourne, a week 4fgo, Mr F. M. Spurdle, who with Mrs Spurdle, is en route to the Old Country, says that fine weather has been following them all the way. They had an enjoyable time at Sydney, Hobart, and Melbourne. They have very agreeable travelling companions, and plenty to choose from, seeing that there are 650 aboard the vessel in addition to a crew of 255. Lord. Charlea Beresford, whose retirement, or, as some put it, whose dismissal from active service was announced on the ove of the meeting of Parliament, was eagerly looked for at Mrs McKenna/s party (writes Mr H. W. Lucy in the Sydney Morning Herald). As a matter of facii, he was tot invited, his name being included in the list of Navy officers who I will assemble to pay court to the First Lord on his wife's -second party. But the popular Admiral was at Londonderry House, the object of much condolence, warded off fn his breeziest manner. The fact is Lord Charles is elate at his final severance from the chains and gag of the service. As some of his friends know, last year at the time of his difference with Sir Percy Scott, he was within a day of precipitating matters by throwing up his command. It was pointed out to him that he would make a grievous mistake, compromising his future, position in Parliament and politics, if he allowed personal pique to overmaster him. After some hesitation he yielded to friendly counsel. Now, relieved of his command by the action of the Admiralty, controlled and directed, as he believes, by his ancient foeman, Sir John Fisher, he will take the first opportunity of returning to the House of Commons, where he will from time to time have something to say on the Navy Estimates. Since Mr Gladstone, driven from Oxford University, found himself "unmuzzled" at Manchester, few men have been happier than the Admiral who is relinquishing command of the Channel Fleet.
