(From ~6ur own correspondent.)" September 20. The Goose ' pantomime was produced at Wanganui on Tuesday ~and Wednesday nights, and on Wednesday afternoon to crowded houses. Motoring is on the increase in Wanganui district. There are now registered with the Borough Council 42 motor cars and 7 motor cycles.

The Wanganui football team did not bring the Ranfurly Shield home with them from Auckland. All the members played excellently, including T. Suiter, one of the rrembers of St. Mary's Catholic Club, who did a lot of creditable work on the wing. While.- driving down the Avenue last Saturday Mrs. D. Murphy and Mr. Jno.
