NAPIER.

Dear Bee, August 3. Some people are born lucky. What do you think of this? A man tramped into town to-day, being reduced to a crust of bread for his last meal. He went to inquire at the Post Office for letters, and had one handed to him which had been lying there for over three months. On opening it what do you think it contained. Nothing less than a draft for £BOO. and a letter telling him that he had come in for a fortune of several thousands a year. TENNIS. Tennis players will bs sorry to hear that the Farndon Courts, of which Napieritcs were so justly proud, are likely to fall through. However, new and central courts are to be obtained in town, which certainly will be more central. PERSONAL ITEMS. Mr and Mrs Cotterill from Christchurch are staying here. Miss Gurr is on a visit to Mr and Mrs Kimbell. Mrs Arthur Kennedy looks very stylish in town in a navy serge skirt and handsome black jacket, chic hat with wings ; Mrs E. K. Dixon, black serge; Mrs Frank Logan, neat, dark tweed; Miss Fernandez, black skirt, cardinal cloak. Miss Innes is in Napier staying with Mrs Innes.
