Another batch of cyclists ! who had forgotten their lamps, were reminded of their absent mindedness by the usual os. and 7s. costs. Residents whose properties abut on the Mosstown Road complain that the drain lias not been cleared for some time, with the result that the water in its nearly reaches the level of the road when it : rains. As a consequenre of the inability ; lo drain their land Mosstown residents are greatly inconvenienced. No doubt the i authorities will have the matter attended j to. | While lying outside the bar waiting to enter the river, the sailors on the small coastal boats ofte nindulge iu some fiah- ! lug, and not .nfrequcntly with a fair | amount of success. Yesterday one of the steamers brought in a number of fish, and the sailors very thoughtfully look a dozen tine sehnapper down to the hospital for ; the benefit of the inmates, who appre- ; elated the kindness of the men . in thus | providing them with such a treat as some ] nice fresh fish. I A correspondent writes us taking cxcep- | tion to the choice of the Putiki Rifle ; Ranee as tlie locality for the approaching Territorial camp, .n our report of the , last Borough Council meeting, in Saturday s i'-sue, it was stated that the Council i had granted the use of the borough ro- | serve, corner of •Guyton Street Extension j and Heads Road, for the camp. This was ! the Council’s reply to the adjutant of the I /th Regiment, who, in a letter applying t lor the use of tire reserve, stated that it j been fonn dinadvisable to hold the , camp at Putiki on account of the wet | nature of the groun dthere.

J. Fnrrie, were, hv I arrangement with Mr R. Sanders, coni tractoi, shown over the works of the now | Dublin Street bridge. Mr Roberts, clerk ! of works, acted as guide and instructor, ; a,H -i hy clear and concise explanation gave j the boys a good insight mto the mysteries j and difficulties of bridge construction—the ! plans, the constrjiction of the ferro-con-crete piles, tlio pneumatic riveter, the | drilling, punching, and cutting machines | caca being visited and their uses explained and demonstrated, much to the wonder- ' meat of the young visitors. Three ringing j cheers for Messrs Sanders and Roberts I for their kindness and patience, and one I for the workmen, brought a pleasant outing to a conclusion. The trip will form the subject of a competition essay for i pnz.rs donated by the above gentlemen. | On Saturday evening Victoria Avenue , presented quite an animated appearance, | the Garrison Band attracting a large j number of people to hear the open-air j concert given by them on Chavaunes’ ! Hotel balcony. The programme was an j excellent one, and, needier to say, under ( oiuluctbr A ude s skilfull direction was given with that artistic finish which is so characteristic of the band’s performances. The selection “Polinto’’ was heartily applauded, also the fine overture, “Poet and Peasant. Ihe “Quaker Girl” was played for the first time, and when the opera is latter known by the public will prove a jvi ry popular item. Owing to sickness, the band were short-handed on Saturday evening, the soprano cornel being greatly | missed. During the evening Mr Walter I Few is, of Nixon Place, handed the band’s I treasurer £5 os, as promised by him, to provide trophies for a competition among the members. The band management wish to thank Mr Lewis for his liberal donation, and intend arranging a competition lo lake place in a few weeks’ time. Jansene Kristen a Dennison was the euphonious array of nomenclature answered to by a middle-aged man at the magistrate's Court this morning. Dennison pleaded guilty to having been found in a wash-house in Glasgow .Street without ! any lawful excuse for ins presence there, i The accused, who the charge-sheet showed I was a native of Denmark, assumed an I attitude of bland and child-like innocence, I which was somewhat discounted by a | particularly violent, attack of what is popularly known as “blue funk.’’ He shivered, gasped, and shook; and it is quite ) ossible that his pathetic but rather hackneyed plea for “another chance'' ni’ght have received some consideration, had mil the police produced a formidable lid of previous convictions, which showed -at he had come into conflict with the law at Dannevirke, Napier, Hastings, Pahiatua, etc., etc. Even his imposing list of names could avail him nothing in the face of this, and Jansene Kristen a Dennison will spend the next three months within the confines of the New Plymouth gaol.
