BOROUGH BRIEFS.

Sir George Hunter, M.P., has been nominated by the following electors as a candidate for the Waipawa seat:— Messrs Leslie Morton Monckton, John Winlove, John Reed Atkins (Waipukurau), and Herbert Melville Rathbone,• and Mrs Ella Britten (Waipawa).

With the coming of warm weather conditions, interpersed with showers of rain,, the countryside around Waipukurau is revealing a pleasing measure of spring growth—pastures, trees, and plants alike showing a marked change.

Mr W. Crawford, a prominent member of the Auckland Theosophical Society, will give a public lecture in the Oddfellows’ Hall on Friday evening. He will treat with a subject of great magnitude, and those of an enquiring mind would do well to hear him.

Prior to the evening’s programme at the bazaar, yesterday, in aid of St. Joseph’s Church, the Waipukurau Band played a pleasing programme of music adjacent to the Municipal Theatre. The bazaar will be continued this afternoon, and be brought to a conclusion tonight.

The "Press” management has made arrangements with the prqgrietor of Everybody’s Pictures wherolfljfce general Election results will be shown at the Municipal Theatre on Wednesday next. All interested in following the results in comfort are advised to book scats at an early date. The box plan is at Hall’s.

A number of local residents, including the Mayor (Mr E. A. Goodger), a member of tho Central Hawke’s Bay Power Board, and the secretary (Mr G. E. Fowler), intend being present at the Otane function to-night, in honour of the advent of electric current in that town. A concert party will also visit Otane to assist in the celebrations.

The author of "If Winter Comes” has not detracted from the high reputation gained by that very popular novel in having presented to the reading public such a thoughtful story as "One Increasing Purpose” (Hodder and Stoughton, Ltd, London, per W. S. Smart, 68, Elizabeth Street, Sydney). Mr A. S. Hutchinson’s latest story deals with the varying experiences in life, of three brothers, Andrew, Charles and Simon, and the wives of the two former, Linda and Olive, while Elizabeth Glade figures prominently in the development of an over-powering purpose. The book is well worth reading.
