TOWN BOARD MEETING.
(From Oar Own Correspondent.)

evening, the i,ilr. Jas McCall)presiding.
The School Committ-ee was granted tbeuse of the board's tar and sealing plantand the board's workmen to carry outthe tar sealing of the school assemblyground.
Re Su>ck Route.—A cc-mmunication t-a=received from the ilanurewa Town Boardstating that at a meeting of their boardheld on the sth inst. it was decided tosuggest to the local bodies concerned that,as the Manukaa County Council is of tlieopinion that there is a weakness in theclause in the amendment to the PublicWorks Act, they instruct their respectiveengineers to meet to see if they can arriveat a reasonable basis of contribution to-wards the cost of the road. In the eventoi an agreement being reached which isapproved by the local bodies, the iliuu-kau County Council can proceed underthe Public Works Act without the neces-sity of a commission being set up. IhePapakura Board's reply was as follows:"'That the board is not vitally interestedin the provision of a stock route, having
; their own, and the board is not preparedto take any part in tne matter."'
A petition was reecived from the rate-payers, businessmen and residents of Papa-kura to have the hill in Wellington Streetgraded and formed. The chairman stated
j that the board were trying to satisfy ailj in these matters, and the board referredthe matter to the Works Committee,
j The board authorised that the length of! the stock route between Green Street andLlliott Street be metalled. Also that alurther 10 r-hains of Dominion Koad bemetalled. The ladies' shed at Young'sBeach has been finished on. The road inColes Crescent is being formed up readyfor metal.
The Finance Committee recommendedthat, as an expression of appreciation of
. the manner in which Mr. iloniieau csx-,, ried out his duties as trarae inspector, a- gratuity of £25 be paid to him. The_ Doard approved of the remuneration,i The lormation of Cook Street, from1 Elhott Street to Queen Street, is finisheda and is ready for a coat oi metal. The
3 worst ho.es ia Beach Road have beens metalled.

STEADY WHOLESALE TRADE.hGINGER MARKET FIRMING.
ISHELLAC QUOTATIONS EASIER.
"Ail. kl.mil Star'' Office.Tuesday, March 13.
Wli.-iiv.iir gi.iccry merchants experienced.in- .I'-m.uius ii\ tlie early I>.»rt ot' last
ivm'k, hut. later inquiries quietened oil'.Business this week shows a little morebrigri t ness, an>l a steady turnover idexpected tor the remainder of the month.
General.Owing to the higher pi ices mnv obtain-
able oi; tilt- London in.irk.-t lor cheese,local quotations have just been advancedon the medium and larger sizes. Whole-salers have been noticing an increasinglysteady demand for both local and importedcanned fish of all varieties, Kiullet, loUsier,pilchards, salmon and (sardines being thevarieties most in demand at present. IThere has been a great deal of competitionin the marketing of the many brands ofcigarettes by the inclusion of attractiveseries of cigarette cards. This has nowbeen taken a step further by one manu-facturer . giving in return .'or a certainnumber of empty cartons, gramophonerecords, silk stockings, etc. In the driedfruit line Mildura currants and sultanasare at present in very short supply, so thatstocks of Greek currants and Smyrna sul-tanas are at present meeting with special•attention, particularly as the fruit isbeing offered at what is considered ratherattractive prices. New season's Austra-lian currants and sultanas are now quotedfor March-June shipment, and comparedwith opening quotations of last season,prices show a heavy advance in currantsand fractionally higher in sultanas. Newcrop African dried apricots have arrivedand are of exceptionally fine quality andcolour.
Drapery.Drapery houses are nir.v making an
extensive allowing of autumn goods. Anumber of houses have already had open-ing displays, which met with a readyresponse from interested shoppers. Pro-minent in fashion goods are the three-piece woollen suits, which are likely toprove one of the attractive features' thisseason. Outside coats are now showing inface cloths and velours, a big proportionbeing fur-trimmed In frocks, the newest;eature ie ring velvet which, althoughfairly expensive, is likely to be in greatdemand. In millinery the ready-to-weari'eits predominate again and are mostlyshowing in the smaller shapes.
Ceylon Tea.At the usual weekly sale held at
Colombo on the 7th instant. wasplaced under offer. Quality showed aslight improvement on the offers of theprevious week, and the result of the saleshowed a strong general demand withcommon kinds generally alvanced 2 to 3cents, and good kinds considerably dearer.Advances are as follows:— Commons andPrice broken Orange Pekoes Vzd per lb;plain 8.0.P.'s %d; first classic brokenPekoes 9id, and finest 8.0.P.'s %d per lb.Exchange ie quoted at 1/6%.
Brazil Kernels.A comparison of the rates at present
being quoted on new season's Brazil nutkernels and those ruling at the openingof the season last year, shows a reductionof 3d in favour of this year's prices. Con-fectioners, who handle this line in largequantities usually take advantage of themarket at this period, but the grocery-trade, from being unaccustomed to hand-ling the kernel business are not so readyto buy prompt. As this line becomesmore generally handled by the retail grocerit will 'be realised the importance of con-firming early so that the crackers can buysufficient supplies of the grade of nutsespecially used for this purpose to fulfil allorders, otherwise towards the end of theseason difficulty may be experienced inbuying the right quality nut.
Bulk Dates.A further advance of 9d per cwt has
just taken place in the indent rate on Sairbulk dates. Khedrawai bulk in the loosepack quality has been in short supply onthe London market for some little while,and cables received a few days ago advisedthe withdrawal from this market of one ofthe largest shippers from the home port.
Ground Almonds.A cable received from one of the largest
English shippers advises a reduction onground almonds ot 5/ per cwt in c.i.f.quotations.
Whole Ginger.The market for whole raw ginger has
been a gradually rising on since the new• crop prices were first announced in Janu-
ary last. Opening quotations when first-named were about £2 per ton under theopening rates of the previous season, buthave since been firming almost weekly.Agents now advise the receipt of cablesfrom Cochin (India), advising a furthe;•tiff advance of £15 per ton for promptshipment.
Ling Fish.Stocks of new season's English ling fish
arrived at this port last week by theMataroa, and as this arrival coincided withour Lenten season, wholesalers were ableto make a distribution to the retail tradeimmediately the shipment was discharged.
Beans.The continued shortage and the high
prices ruling on any fresh vegetables avail-able during the last few months have beenresponsible for a much heavier consumerrlemand for both haricot beans and Mada-gascar butter beans for :.his time of theyear, and the trade in general would bewell advised to look closely into t'mir stockposition wi'tiout delay. Latest cable advicereceived in connection with haricotsadvises ano'.her advance of £ I per ton.Madagascar Li mas remain firm andunaltered at the last list rates.
Rice.In keeping with the other varieties gar-
den Siam rice, which is shipped fromHongkong, has firmed up on previousquotations 10/ per ton.
Chillies.Cables received fr.mi Kobe advise that
the stock of chillies (Birdseye) in Japanare now rather low and slight advanceshave now been announced in indent rates.
Shellac.After remaining very steady for a few
weeks sheilac in ABTN quality has comeback slightly in price, and as' the sailingof the next direct steamer from Calcuttais only a few weeks off. some fair businesswas confirmed at the new rates last week.After the present sailing has been made itis not advisable to ship by the followingdirect steamer owing to the extreme pro-bability ot' shipments arriving at theirdestination in a congealed state, owing todelivery being made right at the height ofthe monsoon season.
Desiccated Coconut.The market for desiccated coconut in
Ceylon, after showing an easier tendency,is now advancing again. The latest ratesadvised by cable las: week show anincrease over previous quotations of 15/per ton.
Eastern Goods.McAlister and Co., Singapore,
write under date 31/1/28, in reference toStraita produce: "From the amendedprices quoted last week it will be seenthat Penang tapiocas advanced sharply,although we see no justification for theadvance. Stocks in producers' hands still
- -. j
seem t>» be steadily increasing, and only jmoderate business has been done. The jsuperior Singapore grade have advancedappreciably as a result of a good demandand limited supplies, and we can only pre-sume that tiie Penang grades are advanc-ing simply ;n sympathy. The Penang 1market is very sensitive ami it takes littleto atlect it. 1 here!ore, while we see noreason tor the rise in prices, with Singa-pore grades in a very firm position, wemay see the advance in Penang gradesfuilv maintained. A significant point isthat niter a very long period we are com-nieu.iiig to receive inquiries from Londonlor Penang tapiocas." Local quotationsreceived last week were all very firm, thegeneral tendency being for furtheradvances on all grades. Shippers' alsocable that no appreciable decline is likelyin the near future, and as the directsteamer is due to leave Penang and Singa-pore about the end of the month, price*are expected to remain ti•.in until aftertne aoove sailing. L ndcr the circum-stances retailers who have not boughttheir lull quota Would be well advised totake advantage ot the lowest offers nowava i la bio.
Peppers: McAlister and Co.. Ltd., adviseunder the same date as above: "Goodbusiness is being done with China inpeppers at present, so that while the Lou-don market is quiet the local market isquite strong, as with limited stocks asmall demand is sufficient to advanceprices. The future trend is very uncer-tain. High prices in. be maintained untilthe new crop is available, but thereafterit Mie estimates of a bigger crop materialiseprices snou1 d ease considerably." Thismarket still continues to be very high forall grades, the cables received each weekalmost withoir exception making slightadvances on tl.e previous rates advised, sothat at the moment of writing all gradesare being listed at very high prices.
Camphor.The latest advice in connection with the
market for camphor shows a reduction of2d per lb on the rates previously quoted.
Cayenne Pepper.Cables recently received from one of the
largest houses in Londonadvise a very firm market oil cayennepepper, the latest revision in quotationsshowing an advance of 25/ per cwt in c.i.f.rates from the above port.
Bulk Figs.Stocks of 71b linen bags of bulk tigs were
advised by London shippers as beingexhausted some time ago. Apparentlystocks are not yet quite cleaned up. as asmall quantity was offered by one shipperat an advance ot £12 per ton on previousprices.
Mixed Spice.Recent quotations on loz mixed spice
received from London by cable during thepast week show a reduction of Id per lbon last years rates. The present quota-tion is lower than it has been for sometime, and at the present c.i.f. quotationwill be able to compete with local andsouthern packings.
Boot Polish.The wholesale trade were advised yes-
terday that Nugget in the medium-sizedtins had been reduced wholesale 1, S) perdozen, enabling the retailer to sell at 6dper tin instead of 7d as formerly.

HOLDEN'S MOTOR BODIES.
Concerning Holden's Motor BodyBuilders, recently lifted on the local StockExchange. J. B. Were and Son, Mel-bourne, write in their letter of March 2:
"It is understood that Holden's MotorBody Builders, which have been workingreduced time of late, have been againworking full time this week. The con-tract fur the manufacturing of bodice forHudson and Essex motor cars is. we be-lieve, to be renewed with Holden's. Thisis the largest single contract in Australiawith the exception of the Genera! Motorscontracts, which Holden's already lias.Holden's shares firmed as a result of thesedevelopments, and purchases were madefrom 29/6 up to 31/6 before the marketturned, closing vrrth a buyer at 30/10%and a seller at 31/."
NORTH GERMAN LLOYD
, BERLIN, March 11.I The extent to which German shippingI shared in the general prosperity of the' country during the last two years is
shown in the North German Lloyd Com-pany's report. This states thnt whereasthe net profit in 1925 was £2900, it in-creased in 1926 to £400,000, and in 1927to £550.0<)0. An 8 per cent dividend hasbeen declared.
CHOCOLATE AMALGAMATION.
The boards of directors of the NestleAnglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company andof the Peter-Cxiller-Kohler Swiss Choco-late combine have amalgamated. TheCompany took over tlio findliabilities of the Peter-Cailler-Kohler groupas from January, 1928. and the latter
, received in exchange 87.500 new Nestlej shares. Four Peter group shares,' minus1 the coupon for 1927, were exchanged forl one Nestle share dated January, 1928. As
, a result of this amalgamation the ordinary! share capital of Xestle was increased from1 80,000.000 francs to 87,500,000 francs.
GRAIN AND PRODUCE.I
| GRASS SEEDS IN DEMAND, j| PRICES CHECK MAIZE SALES. j
I jPLENTY OF WHEAT.
j! The local potato m u ket is being
i supplied chiefly from Kangitikei. whilst ji some consignments a e coming to hand j| from Ifawke's Bay. A few Southern lots j; have also been receiwd. but considerable •
i quantities are not expected from thissource until the end of the month. Mean- .
j while, prices remain very firm. \\ holesa'ie |rates are from 13 b to 14/ per cwt; very j
| dear compared with this time last year, i1 when good quality Pi.kekohe potatoes were
! available at S. ti Local merchants now I| recognise that they will have to pay high jI prices throughout this month, and during I: the early part of April, but expect the!I market to ease later on. Though reports''of the probable Southern \ ield are con- t
■' Aiding, it is considered, there will be;i ample for the Doni aion's requirements,:i and there are no prospects of export busi- jI ness being available.
. ; Onions.• | Local onions are»now almost exhausted,!. j and a shipment to Vancouver that is 1
: j being made to-.lay will virtually clean :• lout the balance of the Pukekohe crop. |
1 There will be no carry over, is was the i| case last year, and the decreased yield of ji | the present season \\ ill have been par-'
; j tially compensated for by the higher I• prices that have ruled. From vow on the'| local market will be dependent upon!South Island union.-, which are being !
, quoted at in '(> to ll' per cut. wholesale,!. | as against the price of 12/6 to 13. 6 for (
| Pukekohe grown.Oats and Chaff.
, ! The chaff market is unaltered at £9 ;•| 10 per ton. Merchants are satisfied that '
| ample supplies are in sight, and have been jpurchasing so sparingly that stocks on the Ispot are very light. Diminished eonsnmp- j
, tion is a noticeable feature in the local j, market, as motor traction is constantly \
, making further inroads into the horse-j. carrying trade. !' The oats market is firm as the result of ;
cables having been received from London; indicating that sales may be effected to! Britain for shipment from April to June. ;
, i Local merchants are watching this move-1, j nient closely, as it will have a marked j
effect on future va! is. Meantime, quota-',, tions are unchanged'. i
Niaije.
3 The market for maize is firm owing toshortage of supplies, but business is did!as the higher price is restricting the :demand, particularly in view of the ;
I lowered rates for wheat. The possibilities .' I of relieving the situation by importations .3 I are remote at present. South African
I maize cannot be secured on a remunera-! | tive basis whilst Java i.> still dearer. |
1 j Wheat.The wheat market is weak, both for i
| prompt and forward delivery. Local Ij merchants are confident as to the statis-jtical position, and are satisfied to confine
1 j their orders to immediate needs. Thoughr | the ruling wholesale rate is still
1 | nominally 7,9 per bushel, sellers can be! found who are willing to take threepence jj less.
Bran and Pollard.l j There is still a keen demand f.u both
I these lines, and local millers have raised■ ; the price £1 5/ per ton. which brings the
| rate to ,€S for bran, and to £9 in' for| pollard. At these figures it is possible to

HOSPITAL FEES.
CLAIMS IN WHANGAREI.
REDUCED AMOUNT ACCEPTED.
(By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.)
WHANGAREI, this day.During February no deaths occurred in
the Whangarei Hospital. Fees for thetreatment of patients from that districthave been settled, the Whangarei Hos-pital Board deciding to accept £150 insettlement of claims totalling £325. Themain reason for this decision was thatone patient, who incurred a liability ofover £200, was hard to trace. Thepatients admitted totalled 87 and dis-charges 80, leaving 74 patients in theinstitution. This is only about three-quarters of the usual number.
"NO RACE."
SQUADRON'S SAIL TO TEKUME.
CONFUSION IN INSTRUCTION.
MANY COMPETITORS MISSED INTHE DARK.
The race held on Saturday afternoonto Te Kume, Coromandel, by the RoyalNew Zealand Yacht Squadron, in whichonly two out of the 1G boats to finish,
were officially timed, has been declaredno race.
The race was for the T. M. AlexanderMemorial Cup and 19 of the club's largestyachts entered, only two failing to start.The wind was light and it was darkbefore any of the boats could make theCoromandel coast. The judge's launchtook up a position between the end ofRangipukea Island, at the entrance toTe Kume and the Calf, a rocky isletlying about a mile to the north-west ofRangipukea. Her lights were burning,but as she was rather far off the end ofthe island, boats which finished on thatend of the line, could not be distinguishedin the dark. Onlj lorangi and Rawenepassed close to the mark boat and tlieirtimes were duly recorded. It is heldthat Ngatoa and Ariki were both aheadof lorangi, while 12 other boats finishedlater.
The Sailing Committee met last even-ing, and after considering the judge'sreport it was decided: "That owing tothe fact that there was some confusionbetween the sailing instructions issuedto competitors and those given to thejudge, the event be declared no race."

PRICE OF WHEAT.
ADVICE OF MINISTER.
FARMERS WISE TO HOLD ON.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
ASHBURTON, this day.Replying to a deputation from the
Farmers' Union that drew attention totlie present unsatisfactory price ofwheat the Hon. A. D. McLeod, Ministerof Trade and Commerce, last evening, saidhe was satisfied that wheat would ad-vance to a price on the basis of 6/ orover per bushel for milling Tuscan, andhe considered farmers were not wise tosell at present prices.
Trouble was chiefly caused by the factthat wheat growers would not combineand form some organisation for the dis-posal of their wheat. He had issuedadvice to all Crown tenants to the effectthat they would not be pressed for rentso long as they had wheat or itsequivalent, "and advising them to holdtheir wheat for a while.
NEW MOTOR ROAD.
FOR WHANGAREI DRIVERS.
(By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.)WIIANGAREI, this day.
Another splendid round trip formotorists from Whangarei is fore-shadowed by the action of the Whanga-rei County Council deciding on the com-pletion of the formation and metallingof the road from Moengawahine toTitoki. A matter of about three milesof road will result in avoiding the neces-sity for motorists having to make a 45miles' run between the two districts. Itwill also give Whangarei drivers anotherSunday afternoon round trip throughinteresting country.

SAMOAN UNREST.SENSATIONAL REPORTS.EUROPEANS ANTICIPATE
TROUBLE
BLAME FOR LABOUR LEADER.
The message below, which borders onthe sensational, was received last nightfrom a person in Samoa, who requestedthat his name should not be used inconnection with it. As a strict censor-ship has been instituted, it is obviousthat the information emanates fromone who is at least in touch with theAdministration, and that it has officialapproval. For this reason we wouldsuggest that there is a suspicion that inpart the version of the present state ofaffairs in the island is propoganda in-tended to influence public opinion in NewZealand. But for what it is worth wepublish the message as received, andour readers ean draw their own con-clusions.
"The recent attempt of the police, as-sisted by marines, to arrest Tamasese,who is now the local recognised head ofthe Mau, for a breach of the laws, failed.The members of the Mau who were im-prisoned at Mulinuu walked past thenaval guard at will and defied them toshoot. These incidents have convincedthe' Mau that the Navy is forbidden touse force and the cruisers are freelyreferred to as "scare crows."
"The maintenance of law and orderis very doubtful. The natives are be-coming increasingly insubordinate, andwhite women are no longer immune frominterference and insult in broad day-light on the main road and the beach,which is under the cruisers' guns.
"Many Europeans are armed, andplans have been made to ensure the pro-tection which the warships are appar-ently unable to give.
"The loyal natives are very dissatis-fied. They say the Government talks,but fails to act. They are openly plan-ning to attack the Mau.
"The general opinion is that the pre-sent situation is not attributable to thedeportations, but largely to the speecheswhich have been made by Mr. H. E.Holland. These speeches have been cir-culated freely in the Samoan language,and they have led the Mau to believethat they have the backing of themajority of the New Zealand public.Dozens of copies of Mr. Holland's pam-phlet were distributed by this mailamong half-castes and natives. Theinfluence of this, joined with the in-action of the warships, has a tremend-ously bad effect.
"Every day of delay under presentconditions increases the danger to thelives of the whites and natives. TheEuropeans look to the public to forcethe Cabinet to give the Administratora free hand to use such force as isnecessary to break up the Mau and ade-quately protect life, and also tohome to Mr. Holland that he is endanger-
ing the lives of his countrymen by°hissupport of the Mau and their leaders."

At the conclusion of the Police Courtbusiness at Otahuhu yesterday the mem-bers of the police force of the stationsof Otahuhu, Papatoetoe, Panniure andHowick made a presentation to Ser-geant B. J. Parsons 011 hi? retirementon superannuation after over thirtyyears' service in the force.
Constable Maloney, in presenting ahandsome case of pipes, wished theSergeant and Mrs. Parsons happy daysin their retirement. The speaker,referring to Sergeant Parsons' manygood qualities, said he harl earned thetitle of "honest John." During the fouryears in which Sergeant Parsons hadbeen in Otahuhu the work had calledfor much application, to which he hadgenially responded.
Sergeant Parsons thanked the donorsfor their valued presentation, which liesaid would always remind him of thejoyful co-operation and goodwill he hadmet with from the force.
"MERELY PROPAGANDA"
ALARMIST REPORTS FROMSAMOA.
A MYTHICAL, TAMASESE.
WHITE WOMEN QUITE SAFE.
MR. E. W. GURR'S VIEWS.
"The whole thing savours of adminis-trative propaganda," said Mr. E. W.Gurr this morning in referring to thealarmist report published in regard toconditions at Samoa.
"I have lived there close on 50 years.I know the Samoan people, their lan-guage and their customs. It has beenmade to appear that a Tamasese hasbeen put forward as tho head of theMau. It appears to me that the namehas been mentioned to endeavour tomake the local conditions, disturbed asthey are, appear an attempt to restorethe kingship, as the Tamasese is thedescendant of a former King of Samoa.No chief is entitled to use tho nameTamasese at the present time. The lastchief who held the title was deprivedof it by order of the Administrator in1924, and it has not been restored."
Proceeding, Mr. Gurr said that it hadbeen stated that the loyal natives wereopenly planning to attack the Mau. Itwas a report that could not have anyfoundation originating with theSampans. Tho so-called loyal sectionconsisted of the Faipules and theirfamilies, whose numbers were small com-pared with the great number with theMau. The latter would join the Maubut for the fact that they were re-strained by the Administrator.
"I can say without fear of contradic-tion that Europeans, as long as theytake no part in the present strife be-tween the Mau and the Administration,have nothing to fear," proceeded Mr.Gurr. "The suggestion that whitewomen are 110 longer immune from inter-ference and insult is a lalso chargeagainst the well-known courtesy andpoliteness of the Samoan people towardstho whites, and particularly the whitewomen. The chiefs who control theyoung men would always take care thatno white woman was insulted ormolested. In a lifelongresidence at theislands I have been a keen observer ofthe conduct of the Samoans duringvarious war periods, and I can recallno instance of any such suggestion. Ihave even known instances of Euro-peans in opposition to an invading warparty being protected and treated withthe greatest courtesy by the invaders.
In conclusion, Mr. Gurr said that therehad been instances in the past whenwomen and children had sought refugeon warships. That had only been donein case of a bombardment by warships,and they had acted on the advice of theConsuls.
Mr. E. J. Gurr.
FIELD DAY FOR APIA.
ROUNDING UP THE MAU.
ARMED FORCES LAND.
Armed to the teeth and backed bymachine-guns, together with a stretcher-bearer party and necessary equipments,men from H.M.s. Dunedin and Diomedeswept into Apia 011 February 21 androunded up 300 of the Mau police, saysthe Samoa "Guardian."
Any native wearing purple was gath-ered in. Along the beach road they weredriven as far as the native market, andthere the troops closed in on the Mau,herded tliem together and forced themalong to the yards between tin Alcazarand the transport office. The natives satdown in the shade eventually, and won-dered what was going to be done tothem. Finally the members of the Mauwere transported to Vaimea by motorlorry, with three marines or sailors oneach lorry. The lorries left amid cheer-ing and the waving of purple head-bands. The natives were smiling, anda stranger might have thought that itwas a picnic party in procession. Therewas 110 disorder. The Mau was deter-mined to keep the peace.

RAILWAYMAN TRANSFERRED.
PRESENTATION TO MR. H. D.CHEESEMAN.
Mr. H. D. Cheeseman, stationmasterat Onehuuga, was entertained by thecitizens of Onehunga last evening onthe eve of his departure to Ohakune, to,which place he has been promoted astraffic inspector. The function was heldin the Fcyresters' Hall. Mr. A.

Mr. W. Wright, representing the ship-ping interests, and Mr. Ira Sutherlandthe commercial interests, referred to thesmooth working between Mr. Cheese-man and the business people of One-hunga.
Mr. W. J. Jordan, M.P., then pre-sented Mr. Cheeseman with a valuablerug and a fountain pen.
Responding to the toast of "Parlia-ment," Mr. Jordan advocated a definiterailway policy to meet the new condi-tions which had arisen through themotor competition on the road. If rail-vaymen, he said, had less Ministerialinterference, and were given a free handto run the service in their own way, thelatter would be more efficient.
Mr. Cheeseman suitably responded,and expresse>l regret at parting with hisnumerous fyiends at Onehunga.
The proceedings were enlivened witha fine musical programme.

AUTUMN SHOW.
SMITH AND CAUGHETPS DISPLAY.At the new season's show of autumngoods held at Smith and Caughey'sshowroom this morning, there weie somevery distinctive models. Hanging from
jumper suits to full evening dress, com*plete with shaw) and wrap, they ranthe gamut of all feminine attire fash-ioned in the mode's latest decree. Thewoman who likes glittering gowns foundthem in plenty, and she who prefers themore simple effect" had a wide choiceto select from.With the approach of winter and the
promise of dancing nights,-the eveningdress claimed first attention. The greatmajority of these gowns had a decidedmovement either to one side or to theback. A dainty model which offered It*self for inspection was in gold taffeta.Its bodice was tight, fitting snugly atthe waist, and the skirt was formedby myriads of tiny petals which felldown slightly longer at the sides toagree with the fashionable uneven hemline. To complete the picture was ahandsome scarf, a half circle in shape,made of pale gold georgette and hand*somely painted. For the blonde withdistinctive height was a gown of blackgros grin. From the tight fitting waistthe skirt was generously flared, buck-ram being used for support. Followingthe hemline, which was edged with lace,and at a slightly higher line, a band ofcrystal trimming formed attractive de-coration, and a chic note was struckby the placing of a flat bow of silvertissue at the bottom of the V at theback, its single end reaching to thebottom of the skirt. The strikingbrunette found all she wanted in agown of metal and black lace. Thenew cross-over bodice was used in thismodel, the metal continuing over theblack lace skirt in a single wideand finished with a bizarre buckle can*tred with jade. For the younger girls,an egg-shell moyen-age gown attracted,and also ring velvet in various nhsdrsstudded with diamante.
In afternoon frocks, there was anespecially wide range of outsize modelsfor the larger figures. In these, Macklace was worn over flesh georgette withgreat effect, and for the less "dressy,"a gown of black georgette- with along white roll collar, giving a veryslim line, attracted seekers of thesilhousette. In all afternoon frocks,crepe satin in shades of black and redwere much in evidence, and when used inthe reverse was particularly distinctive.
Jumper suits always appeal, especiallyto the proud possessors of "that boyishfigure." They were mostly in pastelshades, but for those who preferred abrighter splash there were colours totheir taste. Those suits that were
1zebra stripe and those worked in newpatterns were exceedingly smart. Thenew jumper to wear with tailored suitswas made of a fine wool that would notbe too bulky under a coat. They wereof a natural ground, striped with dif-ferent colours. In jumper suits, metalwoven with the wool, denoted the verylatest mode, and where it was not car-ried all through, formed, exclusive trim-ming. The three piece suit, jumper,skirt and cardigan followed similarstyles of weaving, and promised to bemuch sought after.
Among the suitings was a tailor-madewith a natural leather scarf that wasworn flung over the shoulder and downthe back. Touches of leather on thepockets completed the smart note.Tailored suits were shown to still clingto the severe straight cut, though insome cases the display showed belts andpleats.
Large fur collars, generously crossingto the waist, and deep fur cuffs werefeatured on the winter coats. The sideflare was used extensively, a deep furfinish on the flare striking an entirelynew note. The finishing on these modelswas most unique, in some cases a chicpair of tassels giving the right touch.Blaek face cloth was used in thesemodels, although fawns, browns andnavy held their own.
The display of bridge-coats attractedgreat interest. They were mostly madeof chenille in all the coloursc of the rain-bow, and were very simple in cut.Those made in black velvet had a de-cided "Mandarin" air about them, withthe Oriental trimming that was placedat the neck and on the sleeves.

THE TURN OF THE TIDE.
For the cause thflt lacks assistance,For the wrong that needs resistance,For the future in the distance,And the good that we can do.
Two important incidents have been reportedfrom China within the past two days. TheBritish Governor of Hongkong has paid anofficial visit to Canton, and has been receivedthere with public enthusiasm. At the sametime British Muuster at Peking, visitingShanghai/ has been cordially greeted andfeted by the leading Chinese organisations ofthat great city. The two events, taken inconjunction, appear to indicate that Britishprestige is once more-in the ascendant in theFar East, and that the tide which has beensetting so long against Britain's interests inChina has now turned in her favour.
It may be said that demonstrations ofpopular apMpval are always unreliable, andthat Orientff crowds do not always dis-criminate between friends and foes. But it is amost significant fact that these displays of goodfeeling toward the representatives of Britainhave been accompanied by strong manifesta-tions of Chinese hostility to Britain's worstenemies. At Canton, so long the headquartersof Bolshevik propaganda in the Far East, oneof Chiang Kai-shek's lieutenants has torndown the anti-British placards distributed byBolshevik agents. An even more remarkableproof of the changed tone of public feeling inSouthern China is the proposal to demolishthe monument erected three years ago to the"Whampoa martyrs," ithe Chinese militarycadets who, organised and led by Russians,were killed while attacking the foreignreservations at Canton. x
Without any risk of exaggerating thesignificance of these events, we way acceptthem as positive proof of the decline ofBolshevik influence in China; and they furtherindicate a revival of public confidence in thepromises and intentions of Britain. We needhardly enlarge upon the importance of such achange for the better in our relations withthe Chinese people. On the material side itwill make a great financial and commercialdifference to Britain. Hongkong and theBritish merchants interested in its vast tradehave suffered very heavy losses through. theboycott organised'under Bolshevik direction,and therestoration of normal trade conditionswill be eagerly welcomed. But far moreimportant than such Considerations is thepossibility of establishing permanentlyamicable relations with the Chinese, and thuspreparing the way for an effective andpeaceful solution of the great problem of theFar East.
STILL GREATLY INFERIOR.
The New Zealand sportsman who has justreturned from England with the convictionthat New Zealand takes its football tooseriously, but plays cricket in the properspirit of Jight-heartedness, might be painedif any tears were shed over Auckland's defeatyesterday by more than an innings. Yet it isonly human to be disappointed at such ashowing. Years of "coaching" and generaleffort are followed byn result all too familiarin the history of contests with Australianelerens. : As we showed last week, in themajority of matches ' With such teams Auck-land has been, beaten by an innings. It is truethat ln State teams are sometimesbeaten by this margin, and that the bestAustralian batsmen have found Grimmett asdifficult to play as the Auckland representa-tives did in the second innings. What hurtsthe local enthusiast is the monotony of thesemanifestations of marked inferiority. We areindlned to think that it is local bowling thatrequires ,the, greatest amount of attention.The -records show that huge scoring by Aus-tralian elevens is the rule. If these; visitingteams, which, it must be admitted, aire very
in batting I—the present one is almosta Test, side—oould be dismissed for .250 or300 runs, the iooal team might at least "makea finish of it." Moreover, if the. standard oflocal bowling was raised, the standard oflocalbatting would go up with it. Club playerswould be compeMed to improve their methods;as it is, they often make runs far too easily.However—unless we are hopelessly' old-fashioned—it is only a game, and there isnothing in this result to beat the breast about.Anckliuid should be grateful to the visitorsfor their attractive display in all departmentsof the game.
UNEMPLOYMENT.
«- It is a. great pity that a man sodistinguished in public service as Sir RobertHome was prevented from spending soinetime in New Zealand. Not only wouldhehave seen,much to interest, him, but he wouldhave said a jpood deal to stfinnlate a com-munity that is always in. danger of driftinginto a backwater. What &r Robert said
about unemployment insurance wasparticularly interesting. - This 'Conservativestatesman, who has had a.long experience ofpublic and private business, approves of suchinsurancei on principle. He is not one ofthdse whounthinkingly condemn the workerfor' restricting output, .He recognises that'while such restriction may be Svrong, theworker is influenced %y the, fear of unemploy-"ment, and he regards insurance as valuablebecause; for one thiag7 it gives the worker"more confidence in production." Sir Robertemphasises what weXhave said over., andoVar again, thai true unemploymentijgnoanee 'i is not a "dole/'.. What is aWoUP m Englan d is parish- relief, which. insome cades is large enough to tempt a jmannot to work. Sir Robert Horne is well aware
un«B)ployment insurance may be abused,hut the pdnt that we wish ttf emphasise herois his of the principle, which now,indttd, haa the support of aU parties in'detain.;' f
NEWS OF THE DAY.Long Trek with Sheep.
A mob of 300 • sheep passing through Waihiduring the week-end provided a most unusualspectacle for residents _of the goldflelds town.The sheep were on the rOad from Tokomaru Bayto -Tuakau. - The mob was Under the control ofthree drovers, who had twenty working dogs withthem. They had been on the road for nearlyseven weeks, and averaged abont nine miles aday They were paddocked for the night at Mr.
, J. Say's farm.Life in the Open. ■
What the motor camp means to Rotorua may» be gauged by the statistical record of its occu-pants. The thousandth car this season was
parked last week. The average of occupants maybe set down as four—five is more probable. Thus,from four to five thousand people have enjoyed
[' a health-giving holiday through its means. The, camp is of conspicuous municipal value aflddemonstrates the wisdom of providing and antici-t. pating popular needs.
Suburban Drainage.■ v.*
Evef y effort Is being made to expedite the■ big drainage scheme now in progress in theeastern portion of the Mount Albert district to' link with Mount Eden. The work is proceedingnight and day, and although residents in the
locality do not appreciate the continuous rattleof the popper drill and occasional thud of heavyi explosions, they realise the completion of thework will greatly improve their district. In onestreet it has been necessary to excavate a wideditch, which in places has reached a depth of tenfeet. This has necessitated the provision of tem-porary bridges to give people a means of egressfrom their homes. _j
Historic Wanganui Site. '
i i"* jI? on.
e most historic places in NowZealand, said a Wanganui resident, now on avisit to Auckland, in mentioning the fact thatof late rumblings had been heard beneath Wanga-nui, and that old Maoris stated that Pukenamu,the small hill in the midst of the rirsr city,which is the site of the art gallery, was oncea volcano. He said that Pukenamu in the earlydays was the site of the Rutland stockade, andin the first Maori war was strongly fortified. Heconsidered that it was a misfortune from anational viewpoint that the stockade was notpreserved, but the totara posts proved to beExcellent firewood, and eventually every traceof the stockade vanished.Long Swim for Home.
A remarkable swim which took place inKawhia Harbour recently is vouched for by the?6 v" **" ?' yicar of Kawhia. Air. R.Aubin, a resident of Kawhia, was returning fromKinohaku when his motor cycle broke down. Asit was necessary for hi'm to be home by a cer-tain time he decided to swim the harbour. Tyinghis coit about his neck he entered the water. Thedistance is between six and seven miles. Part-way across he landed on a sandbank and aston-ished some Maoris who were picking pipis. Moki,a Maori who has lived in the district for sixtyyears, says that he had never heard of anyone,Maori or pakeha, swimming across the harbourbefore. Mr. Aubin re-entered the harbour andcontinued his swim, reaching Kawhia in abouttwo hours and a-half.Ant Season Opens.
• ; Auckland's ant season is now in full swing.Scientifically, very little seems to be known aboutthe small local insects and their peregrinations,but they have a cycle entirely their own, andappear in some localities regularly, much to theannoyance of good Aucklanders who dislike find-ing the little visitors in the butterdish and sugar-basin. They appear also to like clothing,particularly of a woolly nature, but, not beingnimble, may be captured quite easily as thelesult of a little strategy and careful search.An idea prevalent is that there is some connec-tion between the ant migration and the seashore.It is thought that during the warmer months ofthe year the ants live in the sandy soil near thebeaches, and when autumn comes migrate in-land.Death Trap for Birds. ' /
During the last six weeks there have beenvarious interruptions in the power current inthe Matamata district. After considerable in-vestigation the conclusion was arrived at thatbirds had caused the trouble. In one instance astarling had got hooked on a wire near the earthguard, and a number of other birds were founddead at the foot of the pole. A pole with an earthguftTd attached had come over through sidepull,making the guard closer to the wires on one sidethan it should have been. Some birds werefound dead-at the base of this pole. Furthercauses of the trouble on one day were mechanicalfaults on switches at Horahora and Hopkins' Cor-ner. These have all been rectified as Well as theclearance of the guards, and a' recurrence ofsimi-lar trouble should not be experienced."Pnre Waitakere."
.It is probable that;pumping at the Westernwin. be discontinued as from to-day.:'- If
that,.is done, the city 'supply will be wholly fromWaitakere, dice the present stores of water in thereservoirs have been*oneumed. In his report tothe -Water Committee of the City Council lastThursday, thb waterworks superintendent (Mr.
* Carr) stated .that although it, was no longernecessary to augment the Waitakere supply,pumping would continued at Western Springsfor a few days in order to test thoroughly a hfewchlorinating gas rplant which had been installed,for. a trial. Rightly, or wrongly, there are peoplewh6 believe that .the filtered water from Wai-takere is much superior to that from the springs.Indeed, some fastidious folk won't drink unboiledwfcter during periods when the Western-Springsstation, is known toijffe pumping, .and to 'such areturn; to "pure Wai|akere" will be a welcomerelief. v. . . .-y •
'• ■!Island Fruit. .
In an interview concerning the recent confer-ence at Rarotonga, the Minister of the CookIslands, Sir Maui Pomare, stated that one of themost pleasing features, in addition to the factthat a scheme satisfactory to all parties had beenagreed upon was the spirit'1 of reasonablenessexhibited by all parties—the European and nativefruit growers, the representatives of the variousIsland districts, the local traders and the dele-gates representing the New Zealand fryrit mer-chants.' Concessions had been made by all parties,and old difference had -oeen sunk in an honestendeavour to make it possible for the Administra-tion aridthe tJoyernment to formulate a policyWhich would be in the best interests of all. JudgeAyson has come with the Minister on a shortbusiness trip to'New Zealand, add wlplehere willConfer with the Minister ni regard to a number ,of matters which were discussed at the conference,and which, require finalising. •

TO ORAKEI -KORAKO.The road between Atiamurf" and ■ the Taupo
side via Orakei-Korako, .which a .Rotorua deputa-tion has appealed to the Minister of Tourist andHealth Resorts to put in repair fit for throughmotor traffic, is emphatically a highway worth alittle expenditure straight away and regularmaintenance care. It is. peculiarly l a tourist road,yet very few tourists indeed are able to travelit. Twenty-five years ago there were Governmentgangs working on it ana they made a <»pital jobof the heavy rofck work, but the good start wasnot maintained, and when I was last that waythe through journey, from Taupo to Atiamurialong the Waikato's bank was only posßible onhorseback. There has been some improvement!since, but what is wanted is a first-class motorway, and this should not be difficult to provide,for all the heavy work has been done: WhenOrakei-Korako comes into its own there will bea great diversion of traffic from the Waiotapuroute between Kotorua and Taupo; the Waikatocliffside drive* through the wonderful valley willbecome famous.
The geysers and hot springs at Orakei-Korakoare certainly worth while making easily accessible;there are all the makings of a spa there. .But thegreat value of the road, to my mind, lies in theriver and mountain scenery on the way. Leavingthe main motor highway at Atiamuri, the river-side road passes that most beautiful of Waikatowaterfalls, the Aniwhaniwha or Rainbow Fall,just below a grand sweeping bend of the greatriver. When the sun ia shining on the mistyspray of the cataract there is not one rainbowbut a whole riverful of them arching themselvesover the furious waters. Beyond this the roadmounts the cliffs above the river by a shelf cutout of the grey-black precipice of rhyolite rock;on. some of therwilder places an outer protectingwall several feet high was built up of- rough blocks°> 8^,one on ver8e the precipice hundredsof miles above the Waikato. The craggy rangeshere and there assume shapes like ruined castlesin a picture book. Every now and again the trackcrosses little mountain streams, waving withcresses, tumbling with musical fall into the river.Then as Orakei-Korako is approached there ateislets and rapids in the narrowing gorge of theWaikato. The Whakaheke and Haerehukai Rapidsare a finer sight, to my fancy, than even theAratiatia. There are little fairy isletß, green andlovely, garlanded with foliage and wild flowersto the water's edge. Fern trees and shrubs andcabbage trees and flax grow in the very midst ofthe mad whirl of water and smother of spray;and there is a huge black rock with a romanticstory, the rock Haerehuka ("Flying Foam") fromwhich a Rotorua chief family takes its name.One of the islets, Te Rewarewa, was actually apluce of refuge for the ancient Maoris of thisregion, the now extinct Ngati-Kahupungapungatribe. How the aboriginal got there and back isa problem that may bo left for discussion by thegenus tourist. A mile or so above—ten milesfrom Atiamuri—is Orokei-Korako, its. deliciousbathing springs all but unknown- these days.There are strange sights on both sides of thedeep, rapid Waikato here, and the next thing thatwill be required after the through road has beenimproved is a suspension bridge across the riverto give access to the Alum CaVe atod the terraceson the cast bank. —TANGIWAI
EARLY GUMFIELD DAYS.On a summer evening not long ago I sat onthe hillside watching the soft sUnset glow steal-
ing over the gumfields, grey-green with fern andmanuka scrub.. This was th<S time, I thought,when the gumflelds appeared at their best. Theglow softened the rough outlines of hills andvalleys, and the dreariness generally associatedwith the fields was absent for the time being.Although the view was quite grand just then,I knew that it would be difficult to find a moredesolate place in this country than this sameheld on a wet day—unless it were another gum-
• 1 ,
r down in the valley a big green patchpointed to the existence of a farmer's homestead,while nearer at hand, each surrounded by a fewneglected fruit trees, were some old sod hutsonce occupied by gumdiggers who have nowpassed on. Very few are the diggers left on thesehelds, which are worked out, but one or two menstill earn a scanty living on them—old men wholike the open life and the freedom to work howand when they please."Gone are the days," said an old friend, aswe sat there, when we dug gum so plentifullythat we got bags of it every day. In those dayseverybody on the fields was honest. Very rarelydid we hear of anything being, stolen. We couldleave a sack of gum out on the fields for severaldays, and nobody would take it. Perhaps it wasbecause there was so much gum to be had Thestruggling farmers of the district, who were get-ting sixpence a pound for their butter, aftercarrying it on horseback over the hills toWhangarei, ten miles away, were glad to go gum-diggmg to keep us in food and clothes, bothnecessarily of the plainest and most substantial.No silken underwear, or even top-wear, for usin those days! The mothers used to go and helptheir men, taking the family with them. Thebigger ones would dig with knives or pick udnuts (the smaller pieces, which weren't worthscraping), while the not-so-big ones would mindbaby—there was always a baby!"The houses didn't need much work, for thevmostly had clay floors, and there was little sew-ing to do, except patching and mending. Whenthe family came home from the fields, motherwould cook dinner, while father milked the cows.We could never keep more than one or two cowsat a time. Sure as we got a new cow, one of theothers, or perhaps the new one, would get boggedor eat tutu, or die in some other way. It took"f years and years to get a herd together.
_ Such plans we made as we sat at work inthe evenings! Father and the boys busily scrapedthe gym tail it shone, while mother and the girlsby hand sugar-bag trousers for the boysand skirts for the girls, lining them with flour-bag !- The qhildren must have strong clothes forgumdigging, so father and mother said."PUWERA.
BIRDMEN AND EAGLES.(By HARRY HARPER.)
Stories now confirmed of recent attacks byeagles in the Bernese Oberland on peasants andforest guards draw attention to thrilling encoun-ters that airmen have been having with eagleswhen flying near mountains. °
Swooping from rocky eyries behind Athensare huge eagles which seem determined to wagewar upon any flying machine which dares toinvade their lofty preserves. Not long a«oseveral attacked a high-flying craft. One bi?dwas struck by the propellor r,nd killed, and theimpact so damaged the 'plane that a forced land-ing-was necessary.
In another instance, assailed fiercely by aneagle, a.pilot had one of the struts between his•wings smashed and had to make a rapid andperilous descent. Airmen are being warned ofthis danger of the mountains._
While a pilot was crossing above the Pyreneesin a flight from Paris to Madrid a very largeeagle, spared up and flew round the 'plane asthough looking for the. vulnerable spot in thisstrange and noisy intruder.;. M Movement of the pilot's head caught thebups eye. <It swooped into battle.' The airmanhad .by this time drawn a pistol from a lockerin hw cockpit, and as the bird darted in he firedat 'it. He "did not hit the eagle, but he evidentlydisconcerted it, for the bird swerved offand dived
: out of sight.Not, always are these lords of the mountainsin pugnacious mood. Some when they.«ight anaeroplane-seem merely curious, while one, afterflying level with a machine for some timesqTutiitfsirig it appeared tp the pilot to'challenge him-to a high-flying contest. Up atany Tate soared the splendid bird, and up toosoared the:; airman. Higher and higher theyclimbed, bird and 'plane. ■*. ■ ffpt the wings of ttyi eagle seemedflag. ; Still the gallant bird struggled upward.Before, long, however, he apparently reached-hislimit, and,'-ceasing to beat his wings, and holdingtheni outstretched, he glided silently away, leavingthat aeroplane monarch of the

LONDON, March 12.Flight-Lieutenant S. M. Kinkead,
a member of the British air teamwhich brought the Schneider trophyback to England and created a worldrecord for seaplane flights, nosedivedinto the sea and was killed.
He was making a trial flight at thetime preliminary to attemping a newrecord for seaplanes in a SupermarineNapier S5 machine, which was lost.
Lieutenant S. M.Kinkead just previ-ously made a sue-cessful trial flightof 17 minutes inthe machine, whichhitherto he had notflown. He said itworked perfectly-and he was confi-dent it would flyat a speed of morethan 300 miles anhour. It was acurious phenome-non that themachine, on the
trial flight, appeared to brat its ownsound, which always seemed to be 100yards behind.
Lieutenant Kinkead was one of themost famous high speed pilots in theR.A.F. He crashed on the Solent froma height of 400 feet. The machine wastravelling at a terrific pace when shenosedived vertically like a shell troma gun and when she struck the water agreat column spouted up.
There was a faint sound from theengine for a second or two but in lessthan half-a-minute the machine and pilotdisappeared without leaving a singletrace.
An Admiralty high speed boat wason the scene within a minute but foundnothing but swirling water. -?'
The aviator had been Awaiting at Cal-shot for a week for an opportunity towrest the speed record from Italy. .
The machine had neva* been In theair until Sunday, when the test wasmost successful. ; To-day the secondtest was carried out after waiting allmorning while a snowstorm raged atCalshot aerodrome. Towards the After-noon the sky cleared and the conditionswere pronounced favourable.
■' Dramatic Moments.Official timekeepers of the Boysi AeroClub were resdy,and the stage wm set
for what was expected to be a triumphof British airmanship. Kinkead wasobviously undecided as to whether tomake the attempt. He paced up anddown, often alone, and then after eon-versing with officials he suddenly ap-peareii to make a lightning decision.
He instructed the time&eepers to takeup their positions and the SupermarineNapier 875 h.p.. machine wm broughtfrom its hangar and the engine warmedup. * ■"

When Kinkead took to the water heappeared to have considerable difficultyIn rising. He taxied down the Solentand then turned and taxied easily a mileand a-half before rising.- He seemed tofly at half throttle for ten minutes andlanded/for a. few minutes. Later heopened out the enginO and rose, appar-ently to begin the record-breakingattempt. He circled the aerodrome andthere was a terrific noise from the ex-haust.
When at,400 feet he,swung sharply forthe purpose Of entering the course. Thepent up watchers heard the engine'sdeafening roir, indicating that Kinkeadwas opening her all out. The machineshot at inimdible speed and in the nextsecond; with appalling -suddenness ftdived absolutely' vertically.
Antagonised cry broke from the on-lookers. For: a few fleeting secondseverybody was. paralysed. The machinewas swallowed up inthe water.

(Received 12 noon.)
LONDON, March 12,In the House of Commons, reply-
ing to a question, Mr. L. S. Amery(Dominions Secretary) denied thatIndian troops were being sent toKoweit, in Iraq.
He had no official confirmation thatIbn Saud had declared a Holy War orhad identified liimself with any suchdeclaration.
During the years 1917-23 Britain paidsubsidies to Ibn Saud, King of the Hcd-jaz and leader of the Wahabis, totalling£542,000. Nothing had been paidbefore 1917 or after 1923. The subsidyhad been given in the first instance forassistance in the war against Turkey.
There was no.evidence that Ibn Saudhad been directly responsible for therecent Wahabi raids in Iraq, which couldscarcely be described as an invasion.' Britain frequently communicated with
Ibn Saud and invito him in Decemberto meet the resident Commissioner atthe Persian Gulf to discuss outstandingmatters. Ibn Saud did not accept th£invitation.
I Mr. Amery told Lieutenant-Com-mander Kenworthy (Lab., Central Hull)that investigations Mid not confirm thejsuggestion that the first of the recentraids camo from the Iraq side of thefrontier. The text of the British Noteto Ibn Baud regarding the supply ofarms and ammunition had been pre-sented in Parliament last year.
Lieutenant-Commander Kenworthyasked: "Are we still bound by thatNote, and must we permit Ibn Saud tobuy ' arms and ammunition fromBritainV*
Mr. Amery replied: "If there is any;evidence that the arms supplied arebeing used against us, we may rightlyand properly complain."

Plans For CommercialFlying.
MINISTER'S OPTIMISM.
(By Cable—Picas Association.—Copyright.)
(Received 12 noon.)
LONDON, March 12.Sir Samuel Hoare (Minister for
Air) said in the House of Commonswhen introducing the Air Estimatesthat the use of the parachute lessenedfatalities, and the invention of theslotted wings diminished the risk ofcrashes through loss of control afterstalling. The invention was beingapplied to aeroplanes all over theworld.
In emphasising the improvement inair machines he pointed out that thefirst post-war Schneider Cup was wonat a speed of 107 miles per hour, and in1927 the speed was 280 miles per hour.
He had eveiy hope that the trialsbeing carried out at Calshot would passthe 300-mile mark. He believed thatBritish machines in speed, load, rangeand climb, reached a higher standardthan others.
I He added: "We are definitely aheadin the building of all-metal machinesand are taking a long step ahead in theprovision of two new flying-boats forthe speed flights."If these experiments succeeded they
would revolutionise transport, create anew British industry and bring thefurthest capitals of the Empire withina fortnight of London.
He was glad to feel that in carryingout these experiments Britain had thesympathetic support of the Dominions,ill were doing what they could to help,either in the building of mooring towersor in improving meteorological services.
Regarding commercial air routes hewas asking for more money for civilaviation, chiefly because he hoped thisyear would inaugurate the biggest civilair route in a weekly mail service toIndia.
Experience had convinced them thatthere mutit be frequent changes in typesof and engines. For instancein 1922, the running cost of a ton permile was 4/2, whereas to-day, with thelatest three-engined machine, it wasonly 1/10. In the new type the primecosts were operating, apart from stand-!ing charges, and if further, new typeswere introduced he could foresee that thetime was not far distant when civilflying would no longer need subsidies.This was at present impossible.
imperial Services.Dealing with airships and commercial ]
services the Minister said during the ]summer and winter of this year both .new airships, the RIOO and RlOl, should ,be completed and be doing their flying ,tests. This was a noteworthy event in jthe history of British flying and was (a bold and remarkable experiment. ]. The problem which the Air Ministry Jwas trying to solve was the vital prob- .lem of quicker Imperial communicationeor how to give the Empire the physical 1unity that it had never before possessed.
Shipping, at l«ast for many years tccome, would not appear to be capableof solving the problem. The shippingauthorities had told him that for longerdistances it would not pay them to expe-dite their services.
The aeroplane again would be invalu-able for shorter journeys, but its rangeand its small size must, for some timeto come, seriously handicap it in dealingwith distances involving non-stop flightsof thousands of miles.
The airship, on the other handj -if itcould be proved safe and dependable, couldfly both' night and day in comfort andcarry mails in quantity.
They could use trades and other fav-ourable winds and with a range of 8000or 3000 miles they need never make useof foreign territories in journeys fromone part of the Empire to the other.
There were many difficulties, trot withso much to gain it was not only worthmaking the experiment, but it was in-cumbent upon any progressive Govern-ment to make it. Such an effort theyhad for the last three years been at-tempting and they could claim that forthe first tune in the history of airshipsthey had made a concentrated attackupon all sides of the problem.
"I suppose," continued Sir Samuel,"we. could probably have built both air-ships in a little more than a year, butso anxious have we been to eliminateany avoidable iisk that we have spentthe best part of three years upon re-search and experiment and upon an effortto harmonise the calculations of theorywith the lessons of experience and ex-periment. The structure of the airshipsis much stronger than the structure ofany of their predecessors.
"The fact they are bigger than for-mer airships has made it possible to usestronger and heavier girders. The en-gines are more powerful and every pos-sible precaution has been taken againstthe danger of fire and in the case of theCardington airship we hope to have anew safeguard .of heavy oil engines. Thewireless installation will be far moreefficient than in earlier British airships,whilst a new section of the Meteorolo-gical Department has concentrated itsattention upon the problems of weatherwarnings and charting of the air formain airship routes."
The Minister went on to refer to anarrangement being negotiated with Im-perial Airways, Ltd., regarding mailservice routes. These included theorganisation of a weekly mail service toIndia, bringing Delhi within seven daysand Calcutta within nine days of Lon-don, a subsidy to enable the companyto substitute regularly new for old typesof machines, and the right of the Stateto share in any ultimate prosperity thatthe company might obtain.
The Minister expressed regret at theopposition of the Persian Government tothe Persian section of the route to India.He pointed out that the project fnrouldcost the Persian Government nothingand would be a real asset to Persia.These obvious advantages had seemed atone time greatly to appeal to thePersian Government, whose officials hadhelped to mark out a route, and anagreement had actually been signedbetween the British and Persian Govern-ments.
These facts had made him hope thatthe present difficulties were due to amisunderstanding, and that an agree-
' nient might still be reached satisfactoryto both Governments. Meanwhile theAir Ministry had been investigating thepossibilities of alternative routes.
• Members' Qirtio—. '?
Commander Snvwthy (LaK, Hull):* Vla there a route going on to Australia?
Sir Samuel Hoare: I hope so.-Commander Kenworthy:.. An you
negotiating with the Dutch?. ' ! t . t- ■; ijThe Minister: We have had friendly
talks with them. Once we get to Indiawe hope to pass the Dutch East Indieson the way to Australia.
Regarding the Royal Air Force, hepointed out that since 1922 the numberof squadrons had doubled and thepersonnel had increased only one-fifth.
The most significant fact was thatthe ' value of the Air Force as ; theprimary, independent arm- was shownin Iraq, Palestine and Transjocdania bythe Air Force.
Henceforth they would- take over theresponsibility lor the garrison ofThe Air Force had never baled in anydifficult, responsible tasks'and there wasa steady improvement in the.proportionof flying hours to accidents.
Mr. H. Dalton (Lab., Peckham), in-stancing day and night services to theUnited States, hoped they would notabandon the idea of regular long dis-tance aeroplane services. - -■*
Captain Guest (lab., Bristol) saidBritain could not pride herself oar hercivilian flying. They only had 30 'com-mercial machines, while the UnitedStates had over 900 companies runningair services in addition to 8000 or 4000privately owned machines, comparedwith 30 in Britain. Germany had builtup large air services in the last eightor ten years and all their wereconvertible to military purposes. France'scivil aviation subsidy waa doubleBritain's.
Colonel Moore Brabaxon (Coil, Chat-ham) protested that there was nochance of debating national' defence asa whole instead of the separate arms.The League of Nations ought to take upthe question of freeing forever the flightof aeroplanes over all countries.' Our*flying-boats were not big enough toweather an ordinary sea in the Atlanticbut before he died he hope there wouldbe seaplanes big enough to have a bil-liard room aboard.
Mr. F. H. Rose (Lab., Aberdeen)classed the airahip. expenditure .as fan-tastic folly. He cited, the DictumEckener, the successor of Zeppelin inGermany, regarding the proposedEmpireservice of airships* which was:' "Your '
Minister ie up against a dead end. It iscommercially impossible technically-andridiculous and without foundation iu.'science or practice."

'4TOO MUCH LOCAL EFFORT."
QUESTION OF EXPERT ADVICE.
-; As the result of a report submitted tothe Harbour' Board by the Harbour-master, Oapt. H. H. Sergeant, and theboard's engineer, Mr. D. Holdernees, andtransmitted to the Minister of PublicHealth, the Government appointed acomtaittee consisting of the AucklandDistrict engineer and the Aucklandhealth officer, to inquire into the sewagesystems of Auckland in their relation toharbour pollution. As a result, represen-tatives of local bodies to the numberoif nineteen, whose districts are outsidethe area controlled by the Auckland andSubifrban Drainage Board met theGovernment's committee in conferenceby invitation yesterday, the idea beingthat delegates should express their viewson the present situation and suggestremedies for the future.
The discharge of sewage into the Wai-temata and Manukau Harbours has teenexercising the minds of many localbodies lirtely as there have been com-plaints of pollution generally. TheHealth Officer/Dr.-H. Chesson, has beenvery outspoken on the subject, his pointof view teirig formed from the relationof Be wage discharge in the harbouEß tothe health of the community.
Airing the, course of diftcusisioh it wassuggested that. an expert should be ap-pointed from abroad to moke! a Compre-hensive survey of tie position and re-commendations for future guidance.While this proposal seemed to findfavour with a number of the representa-tives present, there were those who heldthe view that the secretary-engineer ofthe Auckland and Suburban DrainageBoard (Mr. H. H. Watkins) should besent op an extended tour of America andEngland toetudy the question, first hand,as his local knowledge combined with theexperience he would gam would be ofgreater value than the opinion of an ex-pert whose knowledge would probably be'confined to one particular centre. It;was also pointed out, and the expressionof opinion seemed to find general favour,that there had been far too much looaleffort and insufficient general co-opera- jtion, the consensus of opinion inclininginwards the establishments of ametropoli-tan drainage board embracingall the sub-urban area* as. far afield asbut excluding,North Shore, which it wasconsidered should have its own system.;: At the conclusion of the conference,whichwesheld in.committee, the DistrictEngineer, Mr. L.

They could not helpthe position. It jneant that the menwould come into. Auckland and stillfurther congest the labour market. Theposition in the South Island was everybit as bad. These'facta made it doublyurgent for the Goyerhment to gazetteregulations in. regard to grading andseasoning of timber, and to insist uponuniversal by-laws in regard to the erec-tion of buildings, the houses themselvesto be graded according to the class oftimber used. This would help consider-ably and cause many'men now idle tobe placed once again in work.

The existing sub-offices are to be replaced by a buildingwhich is to be erected this year inStation Road, Papatoetoe, at a cost oiapproximately £10,000. £t will servethe purposes' of. office, showroom andstores, and will accommodate a perman-ent technical staff, whuih will be avail-Able for the needs of the wide districtwithout the work having first to gothrough the main offices in the city,
if An area of between 12aand 130 squaremiles will be served from the new Papa-toetoe headquarters. It will includethe whole district from Qtahuhu to Papa-kura and from Papatoetoe to Panmure,serving such important centres as Man-gere, Ihumata, Westfield, Manurewa,Wiri, East and West Tamaki, a sectionof Mount Wellington district and, in allprobability, that of Hawick.
Mr. K. H. Bartley, the Power Board'sgeneral manager, told a "Star" reporterto-day that the new building wouldmake for economical and labour-savingoffice machinery, and would undoubtedlyensure prompter and more efficient ser-vice for the rural areas. The establish-:meat of stores and workshops wouldsave a tremendous amount of cross-country journeying to city headquarters,!and the clerical . department"would beof such dimensions as to make the ful-lest use of office machinery, thus dis-posing of the cumbrous ami un-economical system of small sub-offices.A. staff drawn from the employees ofthe board is being selected ana these arealready receiving special training fortheir future duties.
The site for the new offices wasacquired last year. Plans hare %?enprepared, and it is intended to put thework in hand immediately. The build-ing will be done by the board; and locallabour will be employed.

STRUCK WITH A WHIP.LION TAMER IN COURT.
alleged mmuluit ok boy.
MAGISTRATE DISMISSES CHARGE.
The star turn over at the Police Courtthis morning was provided by HugoSmith (52), a lion tamer, who nightlycauses a thrill at Wirth's Circus whenhe enters the large cage in' companywith his performing wild animals.
He seemed to be less at etisa thismorning when he appeared in the dockbefore Mr. W. Rl McKean, S.M., chargedwith having assaulted Phillip Zainey, aboy of 9 years.
Smith, for whom Mr. Allan Moodyappeared, pleaded not guilty.
The witness was the boy, whosaid that on Saturday last he was downat Wirth's Circus, outside the large tent,when he saw an elephant emerge draw-ing a cage with a lion in it Smith, whowas walking just behind the cage, wascracking his whip at the lion. Smith hitwitness with the whip over the left eye,causing a long mark on his forehead.
Mr. Moody: You were looking at thelion and you were only three or four feetaway from the cage f—Yes.'A middle-aged man was next called.He said he was takihg some photographswhen he nptieed that Smith was
the whip on the lion in the cage. ThenHe saw accused turn around and strikethe boy with hss whip. Witness thoughtthat it was a deliberate act, for he gavethe boy no warning. The boy was fiveor six feet away from the cage and haddone nothing to warrant being struck.Witness produced two photographs tothe magistrate.
"Ho seems to be more proud of hisphotographs than his evidence," saidcounsel.
"Everything ra qoirt and pMoefot?"asked counsel."Yes," replied the witness, "except the
lion." r •
Now, the boy himself says that hewas only three feet away from the cage;what have you to say to that?—l saythat the boy is wrong.And if-Smith says the same, alsothe boy *as within mauling distaste ofthe wild animal, what would you say?—•I would afcy that he is wrong, too.
You are <the only one who is right?—Yes.
Is your eyesight good?—Yes.Wejl, what do you wear glasses for?—
For bnsinesa.'Another mis, on being called for the
prosecution, alleged that Smith deliber-ately struck the boy with the whip.The crowd became hostile tcarards Smithand someone went for. a constable.
Mr. Moody, foir the defence, submittedthat the whole thing was' an accident.Smith was only half-wiy through hisperformance and was bringing a lion outof the circus to the menagerie. It wa»the same lion which mauled a drcushand at Thames * few weeks ago, theInjured man still befog an InmateOf thshospital. This lion was causing sometrouble and Smith eonld see thata num-ber of children wefe tee near the cage.The boy Zainey was right up close tothe cage, and was-- told to keep dear.Being afraid thattliigiiio* might put outits paws and grafr . fee ehild, Smithcracked his whip, intapiding to strike thelion, but accidentally;struck the boy onthe forehead with thfe, lash. The wholething was a pure accident. "The wit-ness, who is an amateur- photographer,has enlarged the whole thing," saidcounsel.
After Smith and an attendant hadgiven evidence, Mr. McKean said thatit was hard to believe that Smith woulddeliberately strike such a small hoy.Witnesses for the prosecution had givenslightly different evidenee, but he be*lieved that they thought that they werecorrect. Had Smith not been crackingthe whip prior to strQciag the boy hewould have had n& doubt about thematter. However,)there was a doubtinvolved, and accused was entitled to ItThe charge was therefore dismissed.

FINE PERFORMANCES INAUSTRALIA.
Radiant with smiles as thefrom Sydney berthed this morning,laden with newly-won swimminghonours* and fresh from a tour «*■*was something sensational in the waterwodd, lOsses Ena Stoekley (Auckland)and Kathleen Miller (Dnnedin),together ' with their chaperon, Mrs.Nutter, came bade • to the Dominionto-day. They were met on the steemerby Mr. H. Moore, eeeretary of the Awek-land Goitre at the New As-tern: Swimming Aasodation.
"We had a wonlerful time," said thegirls in chorus, "but oh, we're tired. Weslept neerly the whole way across. Allthe people In every place we visitedfeted us and gave us a great time. Nowand again, because we were tired andfrightened of getting stale, wn tried torefuse invitations to functionsthat hadbeen arranged for us, but it was useless.But we enjoyed every minute o< thetour." r :
The girls swam briHisntly. : Thevcame away with four Anstraliaa Am-pionship titles and three Btate cham-pionships—excellentperformaneeson thepart oi both forthey areyoung. Miss Miller is ooly HI years old,is still at school, attaining the
Columbia College in Dunedin; MlseStoekley has just turned 21.There was a small but exdted crowdof swimming enthusiasts to meet theE' Is on the wharf, and they cheeredtin;. As soon as tiie girls got offvessel they were surrounded by friends,all with hands outstretched. There wasa fusilade of questions fired at thesmiling pair from all directions,
Both girls were in line form while Kmtour, as their performances show. MissStoddey's wins were:—100 yards free style ofN.S.W., 08 l-ss, which is oifly l-5s out-Bide Fanny Dnrack's record."100 yards Australian
(fresh water), 07 S-Ss.-100 yards Australian backstrokechampionship, 83s.
Miss Stoekley also swam in a 60yards scratch race, which die won inthe fast time of 29s dead, which equalledFanny Durack'a record. The swim tookplace at Wellington, New South Wales.Equally as good as the record of thesprinter were the performances ofMillerr—
NAW. championship,9-10,220 yards Australian chaihpiomhip,2A2 8-5.440 yards Australian
6.18 8-5.In the-220 yards New South Waleschampionship Mies Miller was unlucky
enough to. get crossed in the fifth lapby Miss Share. Even then the decisionwas described as Very doubtful. TheNew Zealand girl swam second in thatrace.hThey were given a great eend-offfrom Sydney, dozens of swimmers fal-lowing the Maunganui in a launch rightdown the harbour. The lastthat the gills and their chaperon hadof Sydney and its fine-looking harbourwas that of a gaily-decked launch witha crowd of cheering people wavingcoloured streamers—one of the greatestsend-offs that has ever been given NewZealand champions.
The first public appearance of thepair will be at the Auckland Centrecarnival to be helduat the Tepid Baths'on Thursday, when they will attempt toshatter records.

STORY OF THE MISHAP.
(By J. BUCHAN, a Survivor.)
We all had had a very trying time.Our launch, the Sea, was a very well-found boat, tmt owing to a. suddenmechanical defect it was rendered help-less in the big southerly gale whichraged,.. catching us in our extremityunawares. We bailed desperately,but could make no appreciable differencein our almost waterlogged boat.-Whiletike gale . waa at its. height a ateamerbouiid for Auckland pawed us a mileaway. . Desperate {attempts to attractattention were futile, and, despairing,we saw apparently our last hope- of suc-cour steaming into the distance forAuckland and home—6o miles away. Asdusk was .falling there - came into sightthe Niagara, and through the exigenciesof fortuitous circumstance Or act ofProvidence the big mail boat had de-parted from her usual course and hencehappened to be in this particular locality,and we lighted flames, which were fortu-nately observed on board the steamer.Captain T. V. Hill immediately hove-toalongside, and the'evident plight of the 1launch being apparent, at once orderedthe boat to be lowered. Rescuingus was a dangerous and difficultjob owing to tte high seas mnning, but
| it was at last accomplished.We wish to express ourselves as deeply
grateful for the great kindness extendedto Us by Captain Hill and Dame NellieMelba, and also the passengers and crew.In Sydney the. Shipwreck Society andCommissioner Hay and his staff at thePeople's Palace extended us practicalsympathy and assistance, as * also didMr. Blow, of the New Zealand Govern-ment offices, who was kindness' itself.

NOT YET BRITISH.
ADMISSION AS SOLICITOR,
DUTCHMAN'S APPUCAi'ION.
OPPOSED BY LAW SOCIETY.
(By Telegraph—Press. Association.)
WELLINGTON, this day.The Full' Court yesterday heard an
application by William John Heyting tobe admitted as a solicitor of the SupremeCourt. Mr. Heyting is a Dutch sub-
He was born in Java in 1902,where his father was an administrator.He went to Sydney University in 1923,'and in 1924 began hiß legal studies atAuckland. Mr. Heyting spent 1925 inAmerica, Europe and India, and returnedto New Zealand in 1926 to complete hislaw course at Victoria College.
Last November he passed his qualify-ing examination and applied to be ad-mitted as a solicitor in February, havinghad practical experience for two years.The Chief Justice, Sir Charles Skerrett,then raised the question whether h$ hadpower to admit Mr. Heyting, as he wasani alien. The point being somewhatobscure and of importance, it wasreferred by him to the Full Court forargument.
Mr. Heyting to-day. argued his own' case. He referred to an affidavit which■■ he had filed, showing that from the time
when he first left"Java in 1915 and wentto Australia his whole education andoutlook had become British; that he hadnever been back either to Holland oiJava; and that he never expected to goback. V '
He had been anxious to become anaturalised British subject, but theNaturalisation in 'New Zealand wassuch that it could not confer Britishnationality on an alien; it could onlyconfer limited rights enjoyable withinNew Zealand. He did not wish to partwith what nationality he had, which heWould do, according to Dutch law, bybecoming naturalised in New Zealand,nntil he was quite sure |hat it .con-ferred on him British nationality andlid not leave him stateless, and withoutthe protection of any nationality at all.
The Chief Justice said it seemed tolim that Mr. Hating -was 'putting a lotrf lions in his path, but the lions.'.wereill chained c*», and would not harm him.
Mr. A; R. Meek, on behalf of the NewZealand law Society, saidthe societylook no personal objection to Mr. HeyJang, but it was not only undesirable thatlit alien should be admitted as a solicitor,twit also illegal. If Mr. Heyfcing be-ame naturalised he could be admitted,hmfc not while he remained of Dutchnationality, or any other nationality ex-*pt British. Tlie Court reserved itsieeision.

BAY OF PLENTY.
OVER THE KAIMAIS. 1V < 1
NEW TOURIST ROUND TRIP.
MADE POSSIBLE BY RAILWAY. J]
VIEWS OF UNSURPASSED BEAUTY. •
(No. V.)Besides giving connection with the >
Bay of Plenty at all times, and other[manifold blessings, the opening of theEast Coast Main Trunk railway will un-doubtedly be a decided factor in develop-ing tourist and other passenger trafficbetween Auckland and Tauranga andelsewhere in the North Island, for thatmatter. When the Railway Departmenttakes over the new section from Taha-wai to Taneatua it will be possible fortourists and others to make the round-trip from Auckland to Auckland by wayof Matamata, Tauranga, Waihi and viceversa. Similarly it will be possible forvisitors to Rotorua to see much m *reof the North Island's splendid scenicbeauties by leaving the Rotorua-Auckland express at Matamata go toTauranga by service car, and thence toAuckland by the Tauranga-Auckland ex-press. Arrangements are also beingmade for travellers to go to Rotoruaby the reverse route. From informsti angleaned during a recent comprehensivetrip of the Bay of Plenty by the wriier,it :s understood that the question of theRailway Department issuing round-triptickets and working in conjunction withservice cars aheady running tiesweinTauranga and Matamata, is alrendybeing considered. As stated previouslythe Government has expressed theopinion that roads should me made feed-ers to the railways.
In the matter of the Kaimai Road,here is an excellent opportunity tobring the proposal into concrete form.Already the Public Works Departmentare doing great work in making theKaimai Road passable in all weathers,and many men are employed wideningthe road, easing the grades and cuttingo3 dangerous corners. Two big campsare situated on the top of the hills.
Fully 100 men are employed on theP.WJ). job, and metalling will be donethree miles down the Tauranga side ofthe Kaimais before the winter sets in.The firm of Leighton and Son, Auckland,have another contract for "doing" sixand a-half miles, also on the Tauiangaside, from the racecourse corner to thePuahihi bridge. When! this stretch iscompleted there will bela tine metal roadfrom Tauranga right tKvhe top of the
' K
Kaimais, and for some distance downtowards Matamata on the other side.As the distance between the two placesis only 36 miles, and up till recentlythe road was impassable in winter, itcan be realised what a splendid "feeder9to the railway the route will make.
Scenic Views Unsurpassed.To see Nature's loveliness the traveller ,
should not miss the Kaimai trip. It is ,claimed for it that nowhere else can the (Dominion present such wide and vary- (ing changes of scenic beauties. LeavingMatamata behind, Nature's handwork,assisted by that of men, soon becomesmanifest. Passing a native settlement,where Maori children are to be seen with 1smiling, happy faces, civilisation is soon 'left behind. The winding road leaves'the cleared and cultivated foothills to'fall silently behind.
Then the welcoming note of the koko,or tui, or the koko mako (bell-bird) isto be heard freaking the silence of thebush. And what a glorious bush it is,too! As the ascent is made a faintwind causes the pretty trees to rustletheir song of thanksgiving. A hushedkind of stillness prevails, only the droneof the car engine, the song of the birds,and the whistling of the trees breakthe silence. In the grandeur of thescenes one even forgets the service carin which the journey is being made. Upand up, and still up the road winds itstortuous way amidst verdant green bush,the like of which is seldom, if ever, ex-celled in any part of New Zealand. It]can be compared only to that roundabout the Otira and Buller Gorges, v>nthe west coast of the South Island, or inthe heart of the King Country, beforethe hand of man cut and slashed orburned the beautiful bush with fire. Nobetter sight can be seen in the NorthIsland, even with the lovely trip fromjRotorua to Whakatane, through Hongi'sTrack thrown in. j
Sight oa the Top. jPresently round a sharp, rocky corner 1a most magnificent view of the greater
portion of the South Auckland provinceis given to the delighted traveller. Far,far down below, a thousand tret andmore, the great overspreading pungas,mamakos (tree ferns), and great wood-land trees look like small saplings readyfor planting. A river shoots away outacross the plain in the blue, hazy dis-tance. It is a silver thred, and is goneagain in a moment. Huge faces of rockreach up to the sky on one side, whilea sheer drop of hundreds of feet, withthick bush of variegated greens, is onthe other. And there, too, 90 mil—away in the clear atmosphere snow-capped Ruapehu is plainly seen with itsattendant mountains of Tongarirosmoking Xgauruhoe.
Beautiful all as it has been, the topis where a person "catches one's breath."It is here where no pen can describe thebeauties of the scene which is unfoldedin magnificent panorama. For fully 80to 100 miles in cither direction—northand south—nothing but farms, settle-ment > ;md townships can be seen. Itis a most wonderful sight. Each side ofthe vast valley, 30 to 40 miw across,
or apart, hills and mounts bound it—Hills whose lovely colours are alwayschanging in the sunlight.
Bight at the top there is a flat surfacefor at least a mile, and the road windsits way. through lovely virgin naturalbush, with its mantle of green in allwhadfß. little springs of sparklingwater jump out on the roadside fromamongst green shrubs and ferns. There'are- excellent places for picnics andcamps. One can partake of meals *neaththe shade of New Zealand's natural bush.
Most Magnificent of AILOff the road a little way there is a
| clearing, at the top of which is a high( peak of rode. An endeavour has been
, made to try to give some idea of the( view from the top of the Kaimai Road.But words fail completely when the topof that rock is mounted. The first com-
» prehensiye view was great—grand—s glorious. The second takes in all thes first and more. Away out to the east
J as far as the eye can see ie the rolling,1 restless Pacific Ocean, bluey-green where®it meets the sky. In the foreground is1 the picturesque Tauranga Harbour, with
B its sentinel "The Mount," keeping guard'� at the entrance. Away to the right is1 the fertile Te Puke district, while one the left is Matakana Island and ther Katikati arm of Tauranga Harbour,I* whilst stretching north and south is the8 great and prosperous Bay of Plentywhich, on account of long deferred rail-
" way connection with the rest of the* Auckland province is at last about to
come into its own. The whole viewD makes a most wonderful sight, and onen (never to be forgotten by those whosee 'privilege and pleasure it has been, orr |will be, to see it.J The run down to Tauranga, 21
n taway, is interesting all the way, andg some fine historical spots, mentioned inthe previous article, are passed en route.Smiling farms and orchards meet toeeye in every direction, and pretty little
r scenic views abound.[ (To be continued.)

LADY ASTOR.
One of Lady Astor's admirer? basarrived in Sydney and has been talkingto a reporter. He tells many stories ofthe spirit and charm of Lady Astor, andsays that, the people employed on theestate worship her. She is very fond oftalking to .the men and sounding themon their political views. One of the gar-deners is a Communist and a pronounced"Red," and die Conservative woman M.P.has many targuments with him. Aftermuch talk neither is convinced, and asLady Astor retires the man -will shout"Up with the Iteds!" and she will laugh-ingly reply. "Down with tliom!"
When Mr. Baldwin stayed at "Clive-den" Lady Astcp- was showing him thegrounds. \
'"I want to introduce you," she said"to some of my Socialistic friends." \
Her favourte recreation is tennis, andMr. Herrington describes her as agood player- There are four tennis\pourts, two of which are laid. One isgrass, and the other is a wonderfulcovered court, with conccaled lisrhtins.op
Although Latiy Astor is a strong Con-servative, she is very broad-minded, andnumbers among her friends members ofthe Opposition. Whenever the King and-Queen or the Prince of Wales dine withlord and Lady Astor, Mr. J. H. Thomas,the railwaymen's M.P., is included in theparty.
The estate is most picturesque, and inparts, near the Thames, is heavilywooded. The main drive, Mr. Herring-ton says, is bordered by stately limetrees, where bees hum in ihe summertime, and thi*- leads to the house pastthe ivy-clad clock-tower.
Everything is planted and timed to beat its best for Ascot Week, when a bighouse party-is entertained. LordfAstor'shobby-is the breeding of racehorses, andit is his ainbitiyn to win the. Derby.

AROUND THE TEA TABLE
MATTERS OF GENERAL INTEREST.
(By SHIRLEY.)
A mere man has been writing to one ofour Southern papers asking whether it islegal for a wife to open her husband'sletters. And the answer, strangelyenough, is in the negative. What ishusband to do now? The action is ille-gal, but there does not seem to be anypenalty for the offence. He can onlydirect that his correspondence be sent tohis place of business, which, for a ladyof the character indicated, would beperhaps penalty enough. There was aman once who fancied that another atthe club was looking over his shoulder atthe missive he was inditing. So hewrote "I cannot say more at present,because S., is noticing all that I write,"whereat S., in much indignation, broke'in, "I'm doing nothing of the kind." Hus-band might take a hint from this strate-gist, and write a letter to himself, rebuk-ing the partner of his joys and sorrows.When matters have come to this state,however, it is perhaps rather homelessdoing anything at all.
Summer time discussions become morevivacious as the lengthening eveningsgive more opportunity for talk. Allmothers are not opposed to the change.At a large tea party the other day therewas no dissentient voice, even ourillogical sex not blaming Mr. Sidey over-much for the heat, and the drought. Thefact that children go unwillingly to bedis scarcely a matter for parliamentaryconcern. Mentally, no child has likedsleep since the world began. It is tohim or her a degradation and an insult-no "tired Nature's sweet restorer" aboutit. Never was there yet a healthy childthat did not require to be hounded tobed, and if such houuding is unknown,it is a sign, not that something is right,but that something is wrong. DavidCopperfield, propping his eyelids up withhis forefingers lest he should fall fromgrace, and require such refreshment, isonly a type;' of childhood in general.Tactful observations about the littlebirds having retired, and the chickenshaving their heads under their wings,leave the healthy child cold, and hisarguments all the way upstairs provethat his own little system is in goodorder, not that the new time system isotherwise. This is the ordinary childall over the world. The colonial one ismerely about three times worse, perhapsbecause he is three tiitiee.healthier.
A Melbourne man, by the way, basbeen writing to his paper complainingthat his son always wants to argue withhim, even on taxation and such sub-jects which the boy knows nothing about.But this parent very evidently does notknow when he is being honoured. "Mydear fellow," says young Mr. Baingo tohis father, Lord Raingo, in the novel,and the latter feels that the filial rela-tionship still exists. He is being treatedas an equal. If his son thinks there ishope for him, and tries to convert himto the right views on taxation or anyother question, father's place is to feelhumbly grateful, and do his best to askintelligent questions. - Sometimes onewonders at those varions debates- as. towhether father or mother, should rale inthe house, when it is quite certain thatson or daughter rules, and which of theparents has the nominal power is nowpurely an'academic matter.
The uneven skirt bap duly Appearedin Auckland. In Paris, it seems, it isthe even one that looks conspicuous.Auckland girls, however, have still muchto plan out ero tney can reach the truealtitude of fashion (should they wantto). For Instance, when they "cigar-ette" (if they have this hobby) theymust use matches with tips coloured tomatch their dress. Should they be wear-ing blue, and find they have only red-tipped matches, they must do withouttheir "fag." A typewriter also must bevarnished red, or green, etc., to har-monise with the room in which it isworked. Such machines, anyway, arebeing shown in Bond Street. If theywant to be really "chic." their hats mustbe desqribable as "amusing." To me, theonly entertaining hat is that which fallsoff, but this is not what is meant. Thereis also a kind of velvet which isn'theavy like that which grandma wore,which is also transparent and not softto the touch, and, as far as I can makeout, it isn't velvet at all. Still, it is theonly kind that can be worn until possiblythe real velvet comes back under quite adifferent name.
YOKES AND TASSELS.

GOOD-NIGHT STORIES.
MISSY GRASSHOPPER'SWEATHER PLANTS.
(Told bjr BLANCHE! SILVER tor iPETER PAN.)
The morning dawned bright and sunny.Missy Grasshopper came out from herhiding-place in a folded leaf and lookedaround. The meadow was bathed 111 aflood of golden ounsliine and the air wasso hot it was rather stifling.
"Just the kind of day for me," laughedMissy Grasshopper, and she hopped outfarther and shook out her grey dustywings. uMy, how -I do enjoy these hotsultry days. I just wish we could havethem all the time."
"I'm afraid you would soon tire ofthem if we did have them all the time,"laughed her neighbour, Mrs. BrownCricket. "I'd love to live in a countrywhere it's always hot, too. But it won'tbe long now until the cold winds willbegin to blow and then I'll be looking fora chink in some fireplace and you willcurl up and freeze."
"Goodness, how can you think of suchthings on such a glorious day?" chirpedMissy Grasshopper. "I know I have tolay all the eggs I can while tne warmdays are here, so don't remind me of It.I'm going out for a journey to-day. Thisis too wonderful a day to miss. I'mgoing to fly clear over on the other sideof the lake. I've never been over therebefore, but this is just the lpnd of aday that makes me feel like roaming.Better come along."
! "i dojft know," buzzed a third voice.[ and Mr. Honey Bee settled on a weednext to the friends. "I don't believe I'd jventure very far to-day, for it is goingto rain before long."
"There you go spoiling a perfectlygood day with the thought of rain 7ichirped Missy Grasshopper. "And ye#know how I despise water." \
"i, too," chuckled Brown Cricket. "Allit's good for is to drink. But how inthe world can you say it's going to rainon such a glorious day as thisf
"Well, 1 don't care if you do think it'sf>ing to rain, 1 don't believe you,* and
m going on a visit across the lake,"snapped Missy Grasshopper, beforeHoney Bee could answer BrownCricket's question. "Coming, BrownCricket T" .
Honey Bee snook his head as the twofriends started across the meadows.
They got across the lake safely, andwere just beginning to enjoy themselveswhen a rumble overhead startled them,and before you could- blink your eyesthe sun was covered up with a bladeuloud and the rain began to patter downover the two friends.
"Come on under this toadstool," crieda strange voice. Brown Cricket andMissy Grasshopper quickly scurriedunder the toadstool. There in a comfyweb sat a great big spider. "Just whyI built my web under this toadstool," shemused, "so 1 wouldn't get wet. I haterain as much as you folks do. Funny,why didn't you bring an umbrella withyou f
"Who ever dreamed it would rain ona lovely day like this t" snapped MissyGrasshopper.
"What! Do you mean to say youdidn't consult the weather plants beforevou started out?" cried Mrs. GreySpider. "Why, I never leave the houseuntil I look at the sorrel or clover plant.
When it's going to rain, Miss Cloverturns up her leaves to catch the drops,and Miss Sorrell turn* down her. leavesso the water will run off'without harm-ing her. They are the best prophets youcan find in the meadows." '
When the storm was over Missy Grass-hopper and Brown Crieket thanked Mrs.Grey Spider and hurried back home,stopping to tell Honey Bee they weresorry they hadnt heeded his warning.Then they set to work and planted somesorrel and clover near their doorway*.After that, before starting on a journey,they could tell by the little prophetswhat the weather would he.

W. Eayner win leave Wanganui forTrentham to-morrow, bringing with hraiEpisode, Damaris and Lysander. Ailthree have been doing good work.
Though Civilitys name appears in thelist of those left in the North IslandChallenge Stakes, she is not going toTrentham.
W. H. Dwyer will bring Kiosk toTrentham to-morrow. The Son of TeaTray is in great shape, and he promisesto ran well in the Thompson Handicap,if started in that event instead of theChallenge Stakes.
The following are the weights to becarried in the North ChallenzeStakes:—Kiosk .... 910 Enlalie .. SlOReremoana . 9 6 Gascooy .. 8 6Laugh. Prince 9 6 Philippe 8 6Lysander

Staghunter and Wild Pigeon arebooked for Auckland at Easter. Stag-hunter wffl run in the ChampagneStakes, and prior to going North mavrun in a two-year-old handicap at theMasterton meeting. Wild Pigeon willcontest the Great Northern Oaks and St-L«ger, though probably mueh will dependupon how she shapes in the New ZealandSt. Leger this week. J. Barry will rideher in the classic event on Thursday.
Addlepate, who won the Stewards'Hirlr at Napier Park on Saturday,scored in the same event 12 monthsago.
The way in which horses purchasedby the Dunedin owner, Mr. J. M. Sam-son, immediately start returning someof their purchase money been astriking feature of the" New Zealandturf during the past season or two. Tnki.Yawaid and Wayward are notableexamples, and the latest addition to hisstring, Tintoretto, secured a double atNapier Park last week. Mr. Samsonhas earned in the South the of"Lucky Samson," hot it is quite evidentthat there is more than an element ofjudgment connected with his various andfrequent ventures in horseflesh.
Mr. W. H. GaisfonTs will Tn«i»the shift from Greenmeadows to JLwa-pum on Wednesday, when Commenda-tion also joins up for a further term ofactive service. Mr. Gaistord leaves ona holiday trip to Sydney at the end
the month, and will witness the Easterracing at BanOwick.
Kaasay*s Chances.In the early spring Raasav won a
couple of races, and be came to Treu-tham far the WeDesley Stakes, carry-ing the confidence of his connections. Kefailed and for some time went off kuform, showing an improvement and fall-ing again in his next start. His connec-tions probably realised that he was nothimself, for he was not raced again tillthe Auckland summer meeting, where heran third to Staghußter and~Chfldsp!ayin the Great Northern Foal Stakes.Prince Humphrey was fourth in thisevent. On the last day Prince Humr.hrevwon the Royal Stakes from Gasecnyand Staghunter. Baasay was not astarter, but had won the handicap sixfurlong race. This particular win ofRaasay was one of the most impressivetwo-year-old performances of the sea-son. He ettried 93, was first out, andhe supply cantered home. Granting theopposition was weak it was a gallopsuggestive of good class, and thatBaasay has gone on the right way sinceis apparent by his win at Napier Parkon Friday. Raasay win add consider-able interest to the" ?"irth Island Chal-lenge Stakes.
R- Reed, who rode Gascony when hewon the North Trfand Challenge Stakeslast year, will have the same mount onThursday. The only horse that suc-ceeded in winning the race as a two anda three-year-old was Desert Gold.Achilles won in successive years at fiveand six-year-olds, and Gloaming won itthree times at six years and then suc-cessively as a seven and eight-year-old.It will he remembered that when hefirst went to the post he was a three-year-old, but caught in the barrier andwas thrown, the race being won bvWarplane. It will thus be seen thatto win the 2iorth Island ChaHenseStakes twice is an exceptional perform-ance, and tins year's field is one of thestrongest for several ye«rs in rhUrespect.
White Fang.Amongst the horses weighted for the
principal handicaps at the AustralianJockey Club's Easter meeting is WhiteFang, and as the Polydamon gelding isalso engaged in the Thompson Handicapthe divergence of opinion between theAJ.CL and Wellington handicappers israther interesting. White Fang has beengiven &5 in the Dencaster Handicap, runover the same distanre as the Thom»>-son Handicap, with a 6-7 minimum asagainst 7.0 here. White Fang did suit-raent raring in Australia for the weightadjusters there to get a good idea ofhis capabilities. *■ If he has not beenflattered far his Randwick engagement,White Fang must have an undeniable.chance at Treutham.

In view of tie fact that they areleaving for Trentham early to-njcrrowmorning. Kiosk and W. Raj tier's teamwers given some fast work this morning.Episode had Thaw as companion In ahall-mi-e Gutter, which was accomplishedcomfortably in 51 1-os, with Episodemoving very attractively. Lysander wasassociated with Kiosk in a spin over *"Tfurlongs from an almost standing start.Lyaander jtonped into the lead, bat wassteadied and the pair ran together allthe way. The first quarter took 255, thehalf-mile 50s, and the full distance1-16 2-3. Kiosk had considerably thebest of the weights, bat was on theouter. He hit out freely, and appears tobe in splendid fettle. Hp is much fanciedhere for the Thompson Handicap,should run a very fast ttiHp
Lysander is engaged only in the Chal-lenge Stakes, in which he win have nopenalty, but he is not Hkelv to begreatly fancied in view of poor formto date this season. Still he is in goodshape, and if he runs up to track formhe might make amends for recent fail-ores. If he shows no improvement atTrentham. the son of Absurd—PennonwCI be given a spell until next season.On the other hand, if he runs well hewill go to Auckland at Easter. Mr.Carrie has Lysander and Covent Gardenin the All Aged Stakes at Avondale,one or both will probably be started.
It is probable that Mask, Thaw andEpisode will also go north. Episodegone on the right way since Christmas,and in a gallop last week showed greatpace for five furlongs. She will be arunner in the Pacific Handicap on thesecond day at Trentham. and should giv;a good account of herself, though thelast furlong might tell a tale, seeing thatshe has not had a race since the holidays.Damaris has been doing good work, andshe might be seen to more advantageover the St. Leger distance *T»»ti shortercourses, as she win have more time tosettle down.
Mask win make his next appearancein public in the Easter Handicap atEllerslie, and from the way he is shap-ing at present he is likely to run a
I great mile.
CvDity has done lietie work theWanganui meeting, and will not raceuntil Easter, if then.
Elysianor is engaged at the Rangitikei jmeeting, and he looks to have a goodchance ru the iuriEes there.
Olympic has not been paid up for inthe hurdles at Opunake, but is foxingschooled, and is to race at Bulls.
Lady Desmond is doing good work onthe tracks, and she locks to have a goodchance or again winning the BangiakeiCup.• Whenuanui is to race at Opunake cmSaturday,and is well in the sprint eventwith 7.11.
Fred liiley intends Limited.Lcugiuasr Prince and Mandane to Trent-bam, and as they are all in good fettlethe Fardel] mentor should pick up astake or two.
While many are pickingPrince as having a royal ehance in theThompson Handicap on Thursday, itto be remembered the stable also hasMandane in that event. Prior to goingto Auckland she was beating I-augh-mg Prince on the tracks, and some goodjudges expect her to prove the better ofthe pair at Trentham over the mile-Limited is also expected to run welL andmust be hard to beat in the RailwayHandicap, in which he is very favourably-treated on his Wanganui performances.

ST. GEORGE'S BIG HANDICAP.
HAMILTON'S CLEAR-CUT WIN.
The week-end wart an exceptionallyfavoured one regarding calm water con-ditions, with the result thut the variousclubs complete the programme*indulged in.
Trial racing was the order at bothWaitemata and North Shore, and theracing was strenuous and "lose. On tnenorthern shore of the harbour the un-usual verdict of a dead-heat in the finalwas given. There was no delay withthe crews about deciding vhich shouldsecure the trophies, for they immedi-ately turned round and re-iowcd. Itspeaks well for the condition the mem-bers are in. The last Journey over thecourse was keenly contested, and Davies'crew only got the verdict by a barecanvas. '
Waitemata had a long afternoon, ascould be imagined, when, with bigentries, pair oar trials for Messrs.Fearm's trophies were decided. Themajority of the races were very closelycontested.
Auckland centred attention on theinterclub race for the Maurice Caro Cup.West End failed to put in an appear-ance, and left the issue between Auck-land and St. George's. However, whatthe races lacked by way of crews wasmade up by the great struggle thatensued. St. George's were certainlyhandicapped by an eleventh-hour changein their double, but the Auckland crewwas a stronger one than previously thisseason. Racing with little betweenthem over the long journey, the twocrews were level at the last hundredyards,, and were anxiously looking fopthe judge'e line. Auckland lasted thebest and snapped this victory. Commenthas previously been, made about crewsjoining in in a race. While it wasplainly evident that a St George fourspurted along the wall in the last stagesto urge on their clubmatea in the double
. sculls, they gave Auckland a wash theirown elub mates missed. It would hurebeen far better to have gone on theoutside of the course well dear of the
! race. ■, '/' t',' : . ;'Auckland spent tlie rest of Saturdayafternoon mainly with the regatta crews
' and much useful work wae done..
St. George'e did intend to row a set ofdouble aculls, but with the low tide andtht harbour hnprovtintuta the only courseleft open wae for. the officers to declarethe raee off. A true idea was gained ofthe difficult lee the members havelaboured under this season, and ; theymust have had the sport at heart tobare carried on. In order to contest theMaurice Caro Cup* eight* men labouredover their boot tops throng* the mudto the channel way at the edge of thereef with the double seuller.

This wae the fourthtin* this season, that Waltemata hadbeen called upon to defend the eight-oartrophy, and it was recognised they weremeeting a set of poweifal oarsmen. Itwas the holders' greatest test and theywent wider to a decidedly better erewla crew that gave the finest cshiMtioa: ofrowing seen on the harbour this season.Although Waitemata did not p)*ce theirstrongest erew, it nude no difference.Even admitting that inthe thro* previ-ous raoss the holders had easy victories;!they never on any occasion gave the!least semblance of the fine standard ofrowingthat Hamilton did in their easywin.

NGARUAWAHIA REGATTA.
Tlie big Waikato gala takes place nextSaturday, and offers the provincial clubstlie last .opportunity of improving theirfinances. The entries for all events arevery .heavy, and both Whangarei andTauranga crews are making the journey,in addition to provincial clubs thatalways compete. All crewß are in heavytraiping ? for on the course no risks canbe taken. The tricky crossing of theWaikato to the Waipa has proved in thepast the wrecking of many crews' records,and, it .will not occasion any surprise tosee the most-fancied crews go under. Thefinishing straight up the Waipa River isa fine stretch, and from the river bankan uninterrupted view can.be gained bythousands of spectators. In addition tothe rowing races there is a big pro-gramme of Maori canoe events that willcause a lot of amusement.
CLUBHOUSE GOSSIP.
The finest sight witnessed on the har-bour for many years was the fleet ofracing . boats of all descriptions offQueen's wharf at the conclusion of theHamilton-Waitemata race.
The A.R.A. should make early arrange-ments next season for a regatta on theWhau River. .
.
A record number of old-timers wit-nessed the eight-oar race, and spent anenjoyable time renewing acquaintances.
The Hamiltonites were greatly im-pressed. with the few sheds local clubshave and the records of crews kept.
D'Arcy Hadfield, D.,Davies, P. Grahamand Gus Norden were afloat in theirscullers last Sunday., The only interclub race left—the Bar-rett' Cup—has again been postponed.Another- challenge is in for. the Kohnchallenge race, and will be decided on'March 124'.
The last set of trial fours to be rowedby Auckland will be the captains' foursfpr non-regatta oarsmen.
< Several local enthusiasts'lntend mak-ing the trip to Wellington for the inter-provincial eight-oar race.' "Bill" Bryden, Hamilton's coxswain,
bears painful evidence of how' the crewmade the boat jump.'
V. St. George, the popular secretary ofthe Hamilton Club, was a visitor to townlast week-end.
NoW that the shield has gone it isgenerally felt that club's members candevote more time to their own welfare.
No doubt some suggestions will beforthcoming regarding additions to theshield rules. it
Several veteran oarsmen last week-end expressed their willingness to offerfinancial assistance to a Whau Riverregatta.
Milne and Choyce have now won theihterhouse Cup for three years in suc-cession. Next season three new nien willfigure in the crew. .
Auckland's eight-oar ereW for the pro-vincial race will assemble at Hamiltonto-day to start training. r

TENNIS NOTES.
C GRADE SEMI-FINALS
CLUB CONTESTS. -
INTER-PROVINCIAL MATCHES.
(By HALF VOLLEY.)
The Bemi-finals of the C grade playall competition were played at StanleyStreet courts on Saturday, the teamstaking part being Aratonga, Ngataringa,Papatoetoe and Pukeroa. The tennis wasof a high standard for a C grade, andboth matches were interesting, moreparticularly that between Pukeroa andPapatoetoe. Aratonga had a comfort-able win by seven matches to three fromthe newly-formed Ngataringa Club. Thelatter club are to be congratulated ongoing so far on their first entry in inter-club competitions. Aratonga owe theirvictory chiefly to their ladies who neverlost a match. Miss Darling has acmefine strokes. If she would study posi-tion in play she would show rapid im-provement. Mrs. Coldham was toosteady and experienced for her youngeropponent. George has some excellentstrokes, which he makes no effort tocontrol. Were all the shots that heattempts to come off, he would havebeen an A grade player long ago. Storrylost the first set to him by forgettingto attack his opponent's backhand. Cold-ham secured the only win for his sexby defeating McFarlane after losing thefirst set, ft—o. George and Coldhainwere disappointing in the doubles, show-ing no combination whatever. Storry andHoggett deserved their win at B—l,6—3. McFarlane and Anderson had apeculiar match when they defeatedFowler and Morris. After taking thefirst set 6—3, they lost the next withoutgrinning a game. Five all was calledin the last set, when they took the nexttwo games for the match. Misses Darlingand Bolton are both hitters and are notafraid to go for their shots. They wononly at 6—5, 6—5, though they weresomewhat lucky to take the first setwhen Ngataringa led five all, 40—15. Alucky net cord shot saved them, andthey then took the next three pointsfor the set. They played, as did theiropponents Misses Daniel and Johnson,from the base line. Both pairs shouldtake the net more. Mesdames Coldhamand Fowler were altogether too goodfor Mesdames Cox and Worrail. Bothcombined events went to Aratonga instraight sets.
Pukeroa and Papatoetoe had a goodmatch, most of the games being wellcontested. Papatoetoe emerged victorsby seven matches to three. Here againthe ladies came through with dyingcolours, and never lost a match. Pukeroaowed their three wins entirely to Symsand Abbott, who each won their single,while they also won their doublesmatch. Syms has a good style, and,with hard practice, would be in a muchhigher grade to-day. He anticipates well,and it is here that the other players inthe grade could take a lesson, if mymemory is correct, Syms won atRotoraa a few years back. Elder foughtwell against him, taking the first set,but Syms had the "edge" after this.Firth has better strokes than Abbott,but the tatter's steadiness won thematch. Firth should go for more con-trol. Miss Bryant had too much experi-ence for Miss Tidd, although she droppedthe second set after winning the firstft—l. She won the, deciding set at6t-3. Miss Mellsop was not botheredby Miss Stewart, who gets in some' hope-less positions on the court. She hits aball apparently without any thought asto where it ia going. She would" learnmuch by watching some first-gradeplayers. Syms and Abbott„ demon-strated the value of combination intheir doubles match with Elder andFirth. The latter have good strokes,but Syms and Abbott were seldom outof position, and "stowed away" many oftheir opponents' hot ones. They wouldset the pace for many B grade combina-tions. Papatoetoe won the other men'sdoubles match at 7—5 in the last set,while both ladies' doubles went to themhi straight sets. Both combined matcheswere well contested, especially that be-tween Miss Cnlforth and Thompson andMiss Hamilton and Wood. The scorewas 6—5, 4—6, 7—5 in favour of Papa-toetoe. Papatoetoe now meet Ara-tonga in the final and the odds are infavour of the former team, though aclose match should eventuate.
OHEHUNGA CLUB MATCHES.The men's championship of the Ohe-
hunga Club has been won by JackHarrison, who defeated M. Robb in thefinal, 2—6, 6—2, 6—l, 9—7. The tenniswas not of a vigorous nature, bothplayers appearing to be too cautious.Robb led Harrisrn at 5—2 in the last set,and had set point, but Harrison saved,drew level, and eventually ran out at9—7. Had the match gone to five setsit is probable that Robb would havewon, as he was "wearing" better thanHarrison. The following are theresults of the late* rounds: J. Harrisonbeat E. A. Robb, 6—4, 4—6, 6—2; C. K.Harrison beat R. E. Taylor, 3—6, 6—4,'6—4; M. Robb beat La Roche, 6—3,7—5; Mallitte beat Scott, 6—l, 6—l.Semi-final: J. Harrison beat C. K.Harrison, 6—3, 6—l; M. Robb beatMallitte, 6-,7, 6—o, 6—3. Pinal: J. T.Harrison beat Malcolm Robb, 2—6, 6—2,6—4, 9 -<7. —_i v
Ladies Championship Singles.—ln thesemi-final, Miss Litten beat Bliss Parr,
6—2, and Miss J. Taylor won fromMiss Grove by default. The final waswell fought for two sets, Miss Taylortaking the first 6—3, and actuary hadfour match points in the second. MissLitten won this set. at 9—7, but MissTaylor then hit out in her be?t styleto take the deciding set 6—l. MissLitten employs a very heavy chop, whichgenerally proves the undoing of youngplayers, and Miss Taylor deserves greatcredit for her victory. More shouldbe beard of her nest year. In themen's doubles, J. and P. Harrison beatTaylor and Plummer in the final, G—3,fcr4.-"' 1 In- the Semi-final J. and P.Harrison defeated.

INTER-PROVINCIAL MATCHES.Canterbury have played two inter-
provincial matches recently, the firstagainst Wellington, immediately afterthe Wilding Shield match. Each teamconsisted of six ladies and six gents.,and 24 matches were played. Wellingtonsecured a decisive victory, winning 17matches to Canterbury's 7. MissSpeirs beat Miss Tracy 6—4, 6—4, whileD. France lost to I. Seay 6 —o, 4—6,6—4. In their second inter-provincialmatch Canterbury were opposed byOtago. The latter team failed to wina match; in fact Otago won only sixsets in the 24 matches that wereplayed. The tennis was poor, withmost of the Otago players at sea on thegrass court.

BRIGHT SPORT.
ATHLETES AT WANGANUI.
SAVH>AIV'S MTT.B EFFORT.
AUSSIE CYCLISTS BRILLIANT.
IBy Teiegraph-*-Own Corrrapondent.>WANGAXCI, this day.
Some remarkably fine runningand cycling
were witnessed at the electric light sportsmeeting held on Saturday night by theWanganul-Taranaki Centre of the New Zea-land Amateur Athletic Association. Theweather was perfect, and there was a largeattendance. Outstanding performances wereregistered by J W. Savidan, Auckland slone-distance champion runner, and by tneAustralian cyclists, J. Standen and DoneGray. In the mile Sarldan conceded long
Btarts op to 220 yards, with Clarrle Gibbons,the local crack, on 30 yards.
The Aucklander set oil at a fkst pace,and his long, sweeping stride soon told atale. He was bitting the ground flat-footed and harder than usual owing to themuscles of his legs being tied op as aresult of not having had a rub-down on theprevious day after doing fast work. How-ever, he kept going at an even pace, and atthe bell was up with the field and ahead ofGibbons. A furlong from home Ssvidanran into the lead, and was now twelve yardsclear of Gibbons, MacdonaM, a youngrunner, being in second position. Bavidanled Into the straight, where MacdonaMcame with a fast sprint and shot past Ssvi-dan, to win by three yarda in 4.25> 1-5from the Aucklander. who beat Gibbons bya similar distance.
Savidan covered the mile under 4-26, andhad his legs been in better shspe he musthave broken 4.25, though possibly Mac-donald, who had 120 yarda start, would■till have beaten Mm. The merit of Savi-dan's performance is emphasised by thefact that, though tbe condition wereotherwise ideal, there was heavy dew ontb«graas. Macdonald had previously wonthe half-mile off 50 yards in 1.58. and Itwas bard luck for Savidan to strike such •
good man who bad been so wall treated.In the cycling events Standen electrified
tbe big crowd by winning his heat in thehalf-mile handicap off scratch In tbe won-derful time of 5 as. Gray then won hlaheat In 57 3-ss, another brilliant effort,while In the final the two Aassies pacedone another very cleverly, and displayedsuch wonderful speed that they cut downthe handicap men before reaching thestraight. Standen beat Gray in a brilliantsprint home to fly across the line in 56sdead. This not only beata the New Zea-land record by over '2s, but Is said to befsster than anything ever done in Australia.

GRDIMETT SEVEN WICKETS FOR 91.
A Terj solid innings for 78 by J.langridge, the young Sussex profes-sional, and a steady 49 by A. Postle*, ofthe Eden Clnb, were the only comfort-
ing fe»tares of Auckland's second inn-ings against the Australians atPark yesterday, when the local teamwas got out for 220 runs just before5 jun., Australia winning by an inningsand 40 runs.
Langridge went in secopd wicket down Iand was last man out, Larinb been just ■on four hours at the wicket and playedan invaJraMe innings that would havesaved Auckland from aa defeat ibad there been another to stay with Tifm Jin the early afternoon.
By the lunch adjournment Langridgeand Forties had cemented a thffd-wieketpartnership that had put on 60runs. Almost immediately afterlunch Postlet was run out inattempting a second ' run, theAustralian bowlers then kept the localbatsmen on the run, Laagridge excepted,until eight wickets were down for 177.Heady looted like staying the rot, andshowed promising form in getting intodoable figures, bat wag eventually out-generalled by Grimmett into a weak shotthat gave a simple catch at silly mid-00.Then G. L Weir raised loeel ofaverting a defeat by on anexcellent defensive partnership withLaagridge. They had put m 40 runa,and Weir was showing increased con-fidence, when Blackie started to worryWeir with his leg theory bowling. TheEden eott was worried by the array ofsix fieldsmen on the leg side and allowedIhaaW to he cramped in *fey, with thematt that the bowler forced him intohack play and erentuaUr beat him, withthe MM* at 220.

NEARER SEASIDE RESORTSWEEK-END VISITORS.
EVERY BAY HAS ITS "REGULARS."
With a continuance of fine weather forthe past tvro week-ends, the manyseaside resorts within an hour or twofrom the city on both sides of theharbour were as popular as ever. OnSunday week a number of cars, motor
t cycles and combinations visited Orewabeach, motor sports being an additional.attraction. Every bay, from Milfordtiorthwards, attracted a number of motorparties, whoso occupants spent a plea-sant half-day on the beach with numer-ous visits to the health-giving sea. Quite
as many made the trip on tho ferry thisweek, the mid-day tide being very suit-able for bathing.
On this side of the water MuriwaiI>each and Piha are popular spots withday trippers, but the best way to seeMuriwai is to camp overnight there.Those who want a long run can go toDuder's Beach, by way of Papakura andClevedon. The;, most popular run weknow is to Beachlands. The road pastWhitford used to be very rough, butsince the middle of January a gang ofmen and a .grader have made a reallywonderful change and now the road isquite good from Whitford to Beach-lands or further on to Maraetai, and therun from town need take a little over anhour only.
It m not the longer runs which aretiie most popular just now, the n&rerbeaches at Mission Bay, Kohimarama,fit. Helier's, Karaka Bay, Point Ettgbind,Bucklands, East and West, Mellin's Bay,Cockle Bay, and Howick are equalfavourites with those further way.Judging by the number of cars parked onthe reserve at Mission Bay on Sunday,this beach is the most popular of them•11, and it has the merit of being handyto town. Some difference of opinionarose between motorists and officials twoweeks ago, but this has been settled, andoars can now be parked head on to thebeach provided they do not cross thereserve, but enter and leave by therouto marked off for the purpose.Although a nufaber of motorist* werecaught driving over the reserve on Sun-day week, the presence of an official lastSunday and also the fact that the for-bidden route was fenced off and a noticeaffixed had the effect of keeping every-body within bounds. No doubt this his-toric old spot/ chosen by the early mis-sionaries for its fine beach, will enjoyIncreased. patronage, the beach beingeasily the beef and cleanest on thisside of the water. It is pity the reservedid not include a. greater proportion ofthe Hat land at the back of it. This•|iot hat always been a popular one withaoating men, and now inotoriste arerealising its attractions..
The new garden suburb at Orakei liasa particular interest for motorists judg-ing by the number who visit it eachweek-end. The, roads already opened upare good ones and although much haskeen done a ldt remains to'be finished.When the waterfront road is really com-pleted, by way; of Hobson Bay, Orakei,Mission Bay, Kohimarama, and St.Helier's, the ran along the waterfrontwill attract thousands pi motorists,who will be able to ride at sea level fromQueen's wharf-to St. Helier's Bay, theircontinue past the wharf, turn half rightat the end of the bay, where a roadleads up to Glcndowie and along thecliffs, skirting the Tamaki for - abouttwo miles, when the road leaves thebeach and returns to the main road. Aturn to the left leads to Point Englandor by going to the right you reach Pan-mure. By going straight ahead on theconcrete to Otohubu you can .make a■t turn to the right after passing throughthe town and the Gt.

A NOTABLE YEAR.BRITISH MOTOR INDUSTRY. \
OVER £50,000,000 IN WAGES. !
Two events in particular stand out tomake the year 1927 especially note-worthy in the history of the motor in-dustry, and both are likely to have far-reaching effects, writes a London cor-respondent. First, the visit of theofficial delegates of the British motorindustry to Australia and New Zealand,and second, the World Motor TransportCongress held for the first time out ofAmerica.
The tour of the delegation has beenfollowed up by an extensive propagandaand publicity campaign which should dis-sipate, finally, the old complaint that thehome manufacturer too frequently leftthe prospective overseas buyer inignorance of the merits of his products,while his enterprising foreign competi-tors .took full advantage of this silence.To represent the interests of Britishmotor manufacturers in these twoDominions, branch offices have been
already opened in Sydney, New SouthWales, and Wellington, New Zealand,while the question of establishing similaroffices in India and South Africa is nowbeing considered.
The annual wages bill of the Britishmotor industry is said to be over£50,000,000, and the industry now ranksas the third greatest in that country.
SERVICE FOR TOURISTS."Your car awaiting your arrival and
repurchased when you leave," is themotto of a London firm which does a bigbusiness /with tourists and Army officerson, leave from India, Egypt, and theDominions.
All makes of cars are available, andlicences, registration, and insurance areprepared in advance, at cost, in addi-tion to free driving tuition if necessary.
Free service everywhere is arranged.- ■'Special arangements are made to re-purchase the car before leaving Englandagain at terms agreed on in advance.
Under this scheme it is possible tohire a £200 new car for six' months'use—with no stipulation as to mileageand free service the whole time—at atotal cost of less than £3 a week.
MOTORISTS AND THE COLD SNAP.An amusing little story recently ap-
peared in the columns of "The Autocar.*'As a result of the recent wintry weatherin England, one of thn staff of the papergot his ;car stuck in a snowdrift fromwhich he was extricated by an auto-mobile Association patrol. The latter re-marked politely, "Allow me to point outto you, sir, the advantages of A.A. mem-bership. I see you have no badge." Manymotorists had ample cause to be thank-ful., for this great organisation whichcarried out work'of national importanceduring the blizzards and floods.
The vagaries of the weather affordedowners of the aim saloons many op-portunities of testing their advantages.During the actual blizzards the warmthand comfort of the closed car were fullyappreciated, while, in the intervals whenthe ami shone, the ro-;f could be openedand the scenery enjoyed to the full.
PEDESTRIANS "MUST CROSSHERE."■ >
The London traffic authorities (writesa correspondent to an English paper)might look at Munich in their attemptto solve the problem of making pedes-trians cross tie bigger traffic centres infixed places. Munich has substituteda "Must Cross Here" for the London"Please Cross Here," by railing off thepavement with chains, leaving gaps onlyin a direct line with the street refuges.In this way, not only are pedestrianscompelled to cross in the recognisedplaces, but also the motor driver is re-lieved of that worst of evils, the pedes-trian who steps -into the road whilepassing a lamp post, or another pedes-trian. This method also prevents thepedestrian from crossing in a contrarydirection to the movement of the traffic,since the policeman on point duty hasequal control of motor and pedestriantraffic.
WHY YOU SHOULD CHANGE PLUGSOCCASIONALLY.
No doubt many motorists will findconsiderable difficulty in starting whenthe cold weather comes and, although
i they may not suspect it, it is quiteposible that this trouble could bereduced considerably by changing plugs,especially if the existing" ones havebeeriih.Uee for a lengthy period. After,-say, 10,000 miles, the spark losesintensity because of the great stress to
the plug itself is subjected Inengine operation, with the result thattoe weak spark fails • to give completecombustion in the cylinder. Not on!*does this create difficult. starting, bijtthe engine runs sluggishly and fuel andoil consumption increase. Whatactually happens is that the combustion» slower, and instead of the full roweibaying been obtained from the chargcof mixture, some of the bas&s are stillburning on the exhaust.stroke and ani expelled through the valve. It is oftersuggested that the plugs should b<changed about once a year.
Jim: "I think I will have to set a new car."Will: "What's wrong with the one you have?"Jims "I can't pay for it."
THE FASTEST MACHINE.MALCOLM CAMPBELL'S RECORD.
AMERICA DETERMINED TO BEAT IT
It is now history how Major H. O. D.Segrave took his Sunbeam to Americaand on the Daytona Beach establishedthe world's speed record of 203 J m.p.h.Then Captain Malcolm Campbell an-nounced that he intended constructing acar capable of exceeding Segrave'sfigures, and the worldknows that Camp-bell's "Blue Bird" recently covered amile on Daytona Beach at the astound-ing speed of just under 215 m.p.h. Hismean speed over the mile in both direc-tions was 206.9 m.pJi.
At a dinner given in London lastmonth to celebrate Malcolm Campbell'sBritish success, Major Segrave statedthat America was determined to winback the world's speed blue riband andthat three American firms intended con-
I structing special cars, with that objectin view. z
Segrave, who had retired from motorracing, expressed his willingness, ifnecessary, to again go to America to up-hold Britain's supremacy. He desiredCampbell's co-operation. It was statedat the gathering that the Dunlop Co.was prepared to make tyres capable ofstanding up to 230 m.pi.
THE OTHERS.
If the other driver's faults were notso conspicuous, we could pay much moreattention to our own.
THE GYMHKANA AT MANGERE.
The motor gymkhana, promoted bythe Auckland Automobile Association, tobe held next Saturday afternoon at Mr.Geo. Henning's speedway site, Mangere,promises to be popular. The programmeconsists of seven events, apple and pegpicking for ladies and for gentlemen, anovelty in the form of a race between achampion sprinter and a car over 100yards from a standing start, and thecircling of the speedway course for thefirst time by car or motor cycle, forwhich Mr. Henning is offering a specialprize. During the afternoon the prizeswon at the reecnt Muriwai meeting willbe presented. Mr. D. Mills' Moth willmake a flight to the speedway and be onview there. The proceeds are to bedonated to the fund to send New Zea-land athletes to the next Olympic games.
WORLD'S RECORDS.
new Figures set.
In addition to breaking numerous shortdistance records on the French tracks,the Voisin, a French car employing theKnight type of engine, recently smashedthe world's records for 12 and 24 hours(reports the "Motor Age" of January12). In the 24-hour grind on the Montl-hery track the Voisin averaged 113Jmiles an hour for 24 hours, covering atotal distance of 2724 miles. In the 12-hour grind the Voisin set a record of 1353miles for an average speed of 112 milesan hour. It set new marks for 1000miles, 2000 kilometres, 3000 kilometres,2000 miles, 4000 kilometres and 3000miles. The' car also holds world'srecords for 100 kilometres, 100 miles, 500kilometres, 500 miles and 1000 kilo-metres.
CANTERBURY MOTORISTS ANDTHE PETROL TAX.

WIFE ELOPES.
LEAVES NINE CHILDREN.HUSBAND GETS DIVORCE.
DAMAGES AGAINST THECO-RESPONDENT.
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)HAMILTON, this day.
A jury at Hamilton yesterday award-ed Albert George Williams, farmer, ofKopaki, £750 damages for the loss ofhis wife's companionship and help owingto her affections being stolen by a tim-ber- mill worker named Victor AmbroseFraei, with whom the wife, EdithMay Williams, eloped.
The action was undefended. <
Acting on behalf of petitioner, Mr.Mackersey said the petitioner was mar-ried at Gisborne in 1906. He later livedat Hastings and at Marton. Subse-quentlyhe bought a property at Kopaki,near Te Kuiti, where he lived with hiswife until last year. Nearby was amill, where a man named Victor Am-brose Fraei worked. He became friendlywith Williams, and was a frequent visi-tor at his house. In 1926 the mill, closeddown and Fraei asked petitioner if hecould stay at his house as his guest.. OneSunday morning Williams returned un-expectedly from the cowshed, when hefound his wife leaving Fraei's bedroom.He spoke to Fraei after breakfast andasked him to leave. On November 26last Mrs. Williams went into Te Kuiti,ostensibly to purchase some medicine.She took a daughter with her. Thatwas the last he saw of his wife for sometime. He searched for her, but wasunable to find any trace of her untillast Christmas, when he visited Roto-rua and found petitioner and co-respon-dent talking along one of the streetsarm in arm. Efforts to persuade his wifeto return were in vain.
Counsel stated that there were ninechildren of the marriage alive, whoseages ranged from 21 to 4 years, eight ofwhom were girls, the eldest of whomwas married. Petitioner was now facedwith the position of having to bring upthis family without the assistance oftheir mother, whom co-respondent de-liberately set out to take from her hus-band and her home. For. that reasonsubstantial damages were asked.
Petitioner, Albert George Williams,said that when Darby's mill closed downit was generally anticipated that itwould shortly reopen. Fraei, who wasthrown out of work.Vsked to be allowedto stay with him. To this course peti-tioner consented. Fraei stayed there forabout a fortnight, when, on coming upunexpectedly from the cowshed onentorning, he came upon his wife leavingFraei's room. He told Fraei he had bet-ter leave and ho left that day. Peti-tioner after that found his wife's atti-tude towards him changed. Previouslythey had lived together quite happily,and his wife had been a splendid motherto her children. One day in November,when he was lying ill in bed, she saidshe would go into Te Kuiti for somemedicine. She took with her her secondeldest girl and never returned.
Last Christmas he met respondent and'o-respondent in Kotorna, walking arm'n arm. His wife said to him: "You knewI was going to run away," and Feaeisaid: "You cannot take her back." Peti-tioner pleaded with his wife for an hourto return, promising to reinstate her inhis affections and never to men-tion or allow to be; mentioned herwrongdoing. She still refused to return,snd petitioner took them both along tothe pol?ce station, where he told hisstory. His wife later began to cry, andhe again asked her to return to her homeand children, but she refused.
A daughter of the parties said thatwhen lifer mother took her into Te Kuition the day on which she disappeared, shesaid she was going to met Fraei. andstated that she would meet witnesslater., She did not keep her promise andwitness returned home.
The' inrv after a few minutes' retire-ment awarded petitioner the full amount")f the damages claimed.

ISLAND NEWS.OUR FIJI LETTER.
A DISASTROUS FIRE.
c(From Our Own Correspondent.)
SUVA, March 5.There was a disastrous fire at Apia
last week when the machinery shop ofO. F. Nelson and Co. was totally des-troyed. It was fortunate that themain store which faces the*eea, but ison the same block, escaped. The totalinsurance with the Pacific Co. and theLiverpool and London and Globe Co.was £9800, but only a small portion ofthis was on the building destroyed. TheMau people gave most valuable assist-ance, while the sailors from the war-ships helped valiantly. There was ahuge crowd and much excitement. Thepremisas destroyed accommodated theice-making plant of the firm.
New Government House.The new Government House in Suva,
which is costing over £25,000, is aboutcompleted. It occupies a most com-manding position and is built on mostattractive lines with a handsome portcochere. The ball room is a largeapartment and opens upon wide veran-dahs and conservatory. The privatesuites are upstairs. It is hoped that theGovernor will be able to go intoresidence in two months' time.
Pineapple Canning.The Government are showing a re-
markable secrecy in connection with theprospects of establishing the pineapplecanning industry. Nothing can be ob-tained from the Agricultural Depart-ment, and other Government Departmentsare equally silent. It is generally be-lieved that the Dominion Canners will
/hot go on with the project, unless perhapsfor another year as a continuation of thepast -two years' experiments. The fruitis being eagerly sought for by merchantsin Canada and also in New Zealand, butthe latter are trying to beat down theprice lower than the Hawaiian article,which is bad policy-, as the Fiji fruit isdecidedly the finest in flavour.
Fierce Religious Conflict.There is quite conflict going on
among the Indian community where thenew missionary body, the Arya Saraaj, aHindu sect, are setting the older Indiancommunities by the ears. They preach adoctrine that all religions, includingChristianity and Hinduism and M&honi-medanism, are all wrong and that theyonly are right. As a result the otherIndians are banding themselves togetherand forming a unity committee, repre-senting Mahonunedans, Hindus, Madras-sis, and Guzerats, etc. The cry of themain section is unity, while the sloganof the Arya Sanmj is disunity. So strongis the feeling that two of the IndianReform League members have issuedwrifs against ten members of the AryaSainaj, claiming substantial damages.The case will cause immense excitementas the Indians are well worked up overthe controversy.

WAITOMO COUNTY COUNCIL.
(from Our Own Correspondent.)At the meeting of the Waitomo County
Council Mr. C. K. Wilson tookstrong exception to the terms of a letterreceived from the Hon. K. S. Williams,Minister of Public Works, in reference toa deputation which waited on him atAwakino on December 17, regarding theprovision of a Government grant formaintenance of certain roads in thecounty.
The Minister stated that it appearedthat these roads, on which approximately£75,000 of loan moneys, and a like amountof Government subsidy had been expendedin metalling, had not been efficientlymaintained, and to this the present unsatis-factory state of roads was due.The Minister further expressed theopinion that the present unsatisfactorycondition was due entirely to lack ofmaintenance on the part of the council,that the council should give an under-taking under seal to the effect that if theGovernment provided money for carryingout maintenance work on these roads, thecouncil would undertake to efficientlymaintain in the future the roads for whichthe grant had been made. The Ministerstated that the utmost grant that could bemade was one of £2000. Mr. C. K. Wilsonsaid that some of the statements in theletter were not correct. So far as theirfinances would allow the council had doneits best.
Mr. A. Wilson moved that the councildecline to accept the £2000, as it couldnot give a guarantee to put all the roadsin order with that amount of money.The council, after discussion, decided to
iaccept the offer, and to inform theDepartment that it would do the bestI that was possible with the sum.

i>eale wiQt« to Cathay with greatregularity, bat he was desperately un-happy, Notwithstanding Lady Ann hadgiven him what he called "the roughside of her tongue," he believed that heloved her metre than ever. Never hadshe appeared so pre-eminently worthpodaeasing as now that lie had lost her.Not a day passed that he did not longto go and see .her and more than once hewaa on the point of writing to Cathayasking her to release him from hisengagement, B\it he was never able tomuster sufficient courage.
He coqld be stubborn when it suitedhis purpose, but he was never heroic. Heloved Ann, but he loved himself more.So he continued to write to Cathay withhis tongue in hi£ cheek. It was easierto play the part of the devout lover onpaper than in reality.
Cathay found hie letters on the wholequite satisfactory. They were .pleasantand gossipy and interesting. He toldher about his doings from d&y to day—-of people he had met, of "�howat" .be hadseen, of discussions and scenes in theHouse. But he oeveT gushed or rhapso-dised.
Cathay was thankful that he was not«entimental, She was under no illusionShe respected him, but she did not lovehim. She was sometimes afraid shenever would love him. She had acceptedhim iriainly to please her parents, thentq itnprove her social position, ftfld lastlyto get away from the fascination ofPaul Pendean.
She was conscious that as long as sheremained at Crows Hill she would, insome aayeterious way. be under Paul'sinfluence.' She could not understand it,but the fact-remained. Wherever shewent people talked about biro, To thesimple-minded villagers he was a won-der. In the annals of Carloggas no.onehad ever risen so rapidly. They werepro'-id of him.
In a sense Cathay shared their pride.She could not help it. He belonged toher pounty and to her parish. More-over, once upon a time they had beengood friends. ..She wished sometimesthat they could be friends again, but, ofcourse, that was: impossible. She oouldforgive him fighting her father and Op-posing her fiance,, tout .when he ao farforget himself as to meke love to her_thst put him outside the pale.
In May Charles,,came down againand spent' a week at Crows Hill,
"and on the whole he and Cathaygot on wel| together. She had thrown
-off. a good deal of the shyness and-reserve, but ! he could not blindhimself to the fact that such love as shehad for him was a very .tender plant and'might be very easily destroyed; so, heaccommodated himself to her moods, andwith very considerable success.
In June he repeated his visit, And soonafter it was announced that the mar-riage would take place in the autumn.
One afternoon in early August, PaulPendean, returning home from St.Clements, in his loose-jointed . Ford,nearly ran into a wrecked motor bicyclelying half-way across the road. In-stantly he pulled up and then; saw thefigure of a youth lying face downwardclose to the hedge. Jumping ont of hiscar almost before it came to a stand-still, he Iran to the prostrate youth andturned him over qn his back. One glanceat the chalk-white face was sufficient.
"Jasper Tregenna," he gapped, and fora moment consternation almost para-lysed him. A hundred thoughts rushedpell.mell through his brain. He sawhimself, rushing up to Crow's Hill withthe dead youth in his car, blurting out toSir John and hip family the awful truth,and he shrank from the prospect.
Sir John hated him. His very namewas anathema to the squire, and pos-sibly to Lady Tregenna and Cathay.They might even suspect him °* rnn*ning down the boy. Ea would givealmost anything to escape being thebearer of evil.tidings. They would batehim more than ever,,and look upon biroas their evil genius.
There was no belp for it, however. Thelad was evidently dead. Paul bent hiseat close to the boy's lips, then liftedhis beCd suddenly. He was stiU breath-ing though fainter than an infant. Thenhe noticed that the sleeve of his jacketwas badly torn, that it was saturatedwith blood,' that there waa a poo) ofblood where he had lain, and that bloodwas still dripping from bis finger ends.„
Instantly he gpt to work. WHb hispocket knife he stripped off the sleeve,and then discovered a deep and jaggedgash extending almost from his shoulderto the elbow. There might be internalinjuries or broken bones; He did not know—bat one thing was clear, the lad wasbleeding to death.
Quick as bis hand# could roove hebound his' pocket handerchief tightlyabout the «rm above the wound. Thenwith as much skill as he possessed hedrew the edges of the wound together !and wrapped it round With a silk hand- :kerchief, which he foupd in his dust coatpocket. That done he drew off his coat ,and cut the lining into strips, with whichhe further bound up the disabled arm-
"And now, what next?" he said tohimself as he rose talus feet and lookedup and down the road. No one was insight. No sound broke the stillnessexcept the sighing of the wind in thehedgerows., Jasper was still alive, hutquite unconscious* Hpw long he mightlive was problematical, To Paul's un.professional eye he looked as though bemight draw his last breath _at anymoment, s 9y. the tiwf, he, him tqCrow's Hill and'a doctor had been sum-moned, the chances were he would hedead. St. Mary's Hospital at St,Clements was only % little over threemiles away, and the lad would get im-mediate attention there.
Instantly Paul made up his mindlifting Jasper iii hjs arms be earried himto the car and «at him on the floor withhis back against the seat; Then, fromthe dicky, he got out a cuahiqn aud arug, and with these he made the lad'aposition as easy as possible.• A minute later he had cranked up,turned iWffid the car and was harryingback to Si Clements at a good thirtymifee an hour. /Within ten minutes hehad ,pulled up at the hoapital door, andwithin another ten minuet the house *ur-gEOB >wa» examining Jasper■i witfc profaa-sional care. . ■
Paul waited wtil the doctor iiad completed hi* examination, then he told hoMu»d whenand where end under wha* <k»;iitions he had found the lad.
"If you hadn't found him when yovlid," the doctor repHed, "he would hawtfed to — !• *-.V -
"And you think he will possiblyrecover?" -r..':".
"It is possible he may, of course. |
can find no broken bones, but in acci«dents of this kind one never knows whatinternal injuries there may be."
"I understand,"* Paul replied. "1 willrun away now and telegraph to hispeople. I will come back again for thelatest news."
Paul made his telegram as brief andas little alarming as possible. The nameof the sender he kept back, writing itonly on the back of the form. When hereturned to the hospital' he found thedoctor waiting for him.
"I have made a further examination,?he said, "and so far can discover noserious injury. There may be concus-sion, of that lam not quite sure. Heis still unconscious, but the terrible lostof blood would account for that. If wecould pump into his veins a pint or apint and a half of warm, healthy bloodit might be the saving of him,"
Without a moment's hesitation Paulpuiled off his coat and stripped up hitshirt sleeve,
I think I am pretty healthy," hesmiled, "and you can have as much of myblood as you want."
"You really mean that?""Of course J wean it. I would give
a good deal more than a pint of bloodto save the fawn's life,""It is very noble of you." '
"Not a bit, I've known the lad moreor less since he was a kid.""You are Professor Pendean, I be-
lieve ?"
"Pendean is my name. Now let's getthe business over please, as quickly aspossible."
Paul was never able to recall exactlywhat happened after that. He remem-bered he winced when a deep incisionwias made in his arm, and then heshut his eyes tightly and kept themshut. He heard the murmur of voicesbut took no heed of what Was said.He was conscious that nurses weremoving to and fro in the room, but heresolutely tried to shut out of hie mindi what was happening. He thought ofanything and everything rather thanof the matter in hand. Now he wasgiving a lecture to his class, now hewas engaged in some ticklish experiment,now he was analysing a fresh batchof stuff from the Bluff, now be wasplanning a paper he had promised toread before the Chemical Society, andnow he was dreaming of the girl heloved. vHe opened his eyes at length to thefact that the operation, such as it was,was over, A thin bandage was roundhis arm, and the doctors were pullingdown the sleeve of his shirt.
"I have made rather free I fear," thedoctor smiled, "with the permission yougave me, but yau'H be none the worsein a day or tw©.-
"Never mind me," was the smilingretort. "HowX the lad faring;""Hia pulse is \-<eady laaa thin and
wy," was the reply. "I jope we shallsee * decided [improvement shortly.""That's good. If you require anotherpint later on,' ring me Up.""You are : oertainly generous," thedoctor laughed, and helped l)im on with
jus lining-leac coat.Paul felt a little bmp about the kneeswhen lie started to w»lk, but he paidsmall heed to it. He stood for a momentpr two looking at Jaeper, and wasgratified to see that a faint trace ofcolour had come back into hie cheeks,and that his Hps were less livid thanthey had been. ,
Ho shook hands with the doctor andthen turned and walked slowly out ofthe room.In the entrance hall he came face toface with Cathay.'
