NEW ZEALAND FARMERS'UNION.

WOMEN’S DIVISION OF OTAGO

ANNUAL MEETING.

The first annual meeting of the Women’sDivision of Otago of the New ZealandFarmers’ Union was held yesterday after-noon. Mrs J. Preston (Flag Swamp),president of the division, occupied thechair. About 20 members were present.

ANNUAL REPORT.The annual report of the first year’s

activities of the Women’s Division inOtago stated that, necessarily, its pro-gress had been slow; the division hadbeen feeling its way, and with practicallyno funds to work on little developmentwork could be accomplished. The stall atthe show, however, had to some extentremedied this position, and the executivehoped for greater accomplishments duringthe current year.

Perhaps the most important phase ofthe work during the year was in connec-tion with the appointment of an extensionworker or a county agent—as they wereknown in some countries—for this pro-vince. Early in the year the divisionpassed a resolution which was forwardedto Dominion headquarters, and also tothe local executive of the Farmers’ Union.The resolution asked for the appointmentof a county or extension worker to beunder the control of the Department ofAgriculture, and who would work in co-operation with the Department of HomeEconomics at Otago University. This ex-tension worker would work through themedium of the Women’s Division just asthe field inspectors of the Department ofAgriculture work, to a large extent,through the Farmers’ Union. This in-structress would give advice in ; homeeconomics, organise boys and girls’ clubs,give instruction in child nutrition andcorrective diet. The Farmers’ UnionExecutive, with Professor Strong, ap-proached the Minister of Agriculture, but.although he quite approved of the workin New Zealand, he would not give thenecessary practical support. However,thanks to the work of Professor Strong,there was yet an opportunity of gettingan endowment for a period of years whichwould enable the appointment of agents inthe South Island.

It was the aim of .the executive thisyear to appoint a visiting housekeeperwho would look after the home and house-hold and enable the parents who wereunable, under present circumstances, toget away for a noliday together. Duringthe year Mrs S. M. Park and the secre-tary visited the Berwick branch, whereMrs Park gave a most interesting addressto a large audience. Successful brancheshad been established at Milton, Wai-kouaiti, and Berwick, and it was anti-cipated that several more branches wouldbe opened in other districts during theyefn’ conclusion the executive appealed toall present to take a very active interestin the affairs of the division, to do theirutmost to extend the work and developthe division, which, without doubt, wouldbe the means of giving very; practicalassistance to those who needed its help

The President, in moving the adoptionof the annual report and balance sheet,welcomed several women who had come along distance. The stall opened at theshow had netted £2O, which sum had beenforwarded to Wellington for inclusion in

the community fund from which themoney for various purposes was drawnby workers and organisers. The speakersuggested that at next year s show thedivision should provide a rest tent andany other facility that could be expectedto raise money and at the same timehelp the women from the country, iheyear had not been characterised by anygroat progress, but now that a start hadbeen made they could expect to do more.

The Seconder (Professor Strong) saidthat just at present the report was forthe most part anticipatory, but that wasall to the good, as they would get nowherewithout their hopes. Mrs Strong spokeof the appointment of an organiser andextension worker for the division forwhich they were working so keenly. Itwas hoped that such an appointee wouidbe able to the work that was now beingdone among the farmers by the Depart-ment of Agriculture. The question offunds was a difficult one, but there wasa chance that some money would be avail-able. When Dean Russell was in Ocagorecently he had told the speaker that iithey could propound a workable scheme,he thought some funds would be avail-able from the Carnegie Trust. The summentioned was from £IO,OOO to £15.000.They had been working on the problemfor a long time and had placed their re-quirements before headquarters in Wel-lington, and they had been placed at thehead of the list of New Zealand requeststo the Carnegie Trust.

Mrs Strong went on to desnbe the workthat would be carried out by the organ-iser-director they hoped to appoint.She would be able to devote her wholetime to the work, and would supervisethe activities of assistants. She wouldbe an authority to whom country womencould turn for a solution of their prob-lems and difficulties. Lectures and farmschools along the lines of those arrangedfor the men would jill come within thescope of her work. They would have tosee that meetings and lectures were in-

teresting enough to make it worth mem-bers’ while to spend their leisure hours inthat way.

The meeting agreed that the appoint-ment of such a worker was essential, andthat an endeavour should be made to geta workable scheme in operation.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.. The election of officers resulted as fol-

lows:-—President, Mrs J. Preston (FlagSwamp); vice-president, Mrs J. Clarke(Lovell’s Flat); secretary and treasurer,Mrs S. P. Cameron; committee—Mrs D.M. Reid (Milton), Mrs Drake (Ber-wick), Mrs C. R. Sheat (Milton), MrsMiller (Berwick). Mrs Strong (Dunedin),Mrs Woods (Waikouaiti), Mrs A. C.Leary (Evans Flat), Mrs A. Craig(Greenfield). REMITS.

The Milton branch submitted a remitasking that the Education Board shouldamend the regulation regarding allow-ances to backblock children to providethe same allowance for children ridinghorse or bicycles as that ruling forwheeled vehicles.

A letter on the subject from the Edu-cation Board to the Farmers’ Union wasread, in which it was stated that nochange could be made at present. Theallowance could only be paki if the roadtravelled was at any time impassable forwheel traffic.

Another remit was dealt with concern-ing the ladies’ car on express trains. Itwas suggested that it would be muchbetter if this car were placed at eitherend of the train instead of at present inthe middle. Mrs Preston moved that itbe a recommendation to the departmentto have the car placed preferably at thefront, but at all events at one end,where right-of-way through the car wouldbe unnecessary. The motion was carried.

The meeting closed with a vote ofthanks to the chair and to the executivefor the past year’s work.

COLOURFUL FOLK SONGS.

Widespread interest has been arousedin the appearance of Dawn Asshctou 1and Laszlo Schwartz at Burns Hali,commencing Saturday next. Speakingof the initial concert given at the TownHall, Wellington, recently, the EveningPost said: Dawn Assheton has notonly a beautiful voice, but is a giftedinterpreter and actress. The voice initself would be one to command admir- iation, but when to it is added an un- !canny interpretive power applied to folksongs, and a way of ‘talking with theface ’ in order to give point to the ver-nacular, the combination is one to charmand fascinate, as the rapt attention andspontaneous applause of last night’scrowded audience at the Town Hall con-clusively proved. Arch of manner, andpenetrating in expression, with a facialcommand worthy of any actress, and—-last but not least—superbly gowned.Her repertoire is extensive in opera aswell as in folk song, and when withthe Hungarian violinist-composer,Laszlo Schwartz, she applied herself tothe peculiar task of gathering togetherthe songs of joy and sorrow of thepeople of many countries, the doublygifted pair achieved a result to whichthe ready acclamation of last night’saudience is sufficient tribute.” Arrange-ments for booking seats are advertised.

The Business Girl KnowsThe €. s. d. Value of “That Schoolgirl Complexion”

AS beauty is rated a valuable assetkby women of the stage and

screen, so too it is rated to-day bywomen in the business world. Notethere the lovely complexions that yousee.The rule for gaining a good complexionis the same as for keeping one—soapand water, as advised by virtuallyevery leading authority on skin care.This is to keep the skin and poresclean and free of beauty-impairing ac-cumulations.The one secret is in the kind of soapone uses. Only a true complexionsoap can be wisely employed on theskin. Other soaps may be 100 harsh.

The universal rule for dailyskin cleansing with soap andwater is founded on one im-portant factor: A true com-

plexion soap is meant.

Thus millions use Palmolive,a soap made for ONE pur-pose ONLY; to safeguard andprotea the skin. Rememberthis when purchasing soap forfacial use.

The rule for"That Schoolgirl Complexion ”

Thus millions use Palmolive, in thisway—a soap made for ONE purposeonly, to safeguard the skin. A goodcomplexion is worth too much forexperiment.Wash your face gently with soothingPalmolive Soap, massaging the lathersoftly into the skin. Rinse thoroughly,first with warm water, then with cold.If your skin is inclined to be dry, applya touch of good cold cream—that isall.Do this regularly, and particularly inthe evening. Use powder and rougeif you wish. But never leave them onover night. They clog the pores, oftenenlarge them. Blackheads and disfig-urements often follow. They must bewashed away.

PER CAKE

Avoid this mistakeDo not use ordinary soaps in the treat-ment given above. Do not think anygreen soap, or one represented as ofolive and palm oils, is the same asPalmolive,

Use Palmolive for die bath. "WhilePalmolive has been perfected as thefinest facial soap, it is the supremeluxury when used for bathing.

SHEEP BRANDING.“AGROL MARKING OIL.”

Acclaimed throughout the wool worldas “a discovery of the utmost import-ance,” and by the press as “a benefit ofincalculable value.” Agrol marking oil forbranding sheep has justly earned for itselfa world-wide reputation. A product oflocal research and manufacture, it meritsthe whole-hearted support of every con-scientious sheep owner who has the well-being of the industry at heart.

For years a serious economic loss hasbeen indirectly sustained by every sheep-raising country in the Empire. This hasbeen brought about by the sheep farmers,who, despite the frequent warnings ofwoollen manufacturers, persist in brand-ing their sheep with damaging, unscour-abie marking fluids and pigments. Thesecause a tremendous loss on the annualwool clip—a loss that has been estimatedby competent authority as 4.15 per cent,and naturally enough it is the farmer whois the largest individual loser.

Research has satisfied the world thatwith “Agrol” the end of the brandingtrouble is at hand.

At the Winter Show wool shornwith “Agrol ” 12 months ago is

showing, together with a portionof the same wool scoured snowwhite, and also a quantity of this latterafter it has passed through _ the dyeingprocess, proving conclusively that“Agrol ” Branding Oil does not dam-age the wool. Samples of ordinarybrand-marked wool after scouring arealso showing. The huge loss sus-tained by reason of the unscourable,matted, damaging points is easily seen.Quite a quantity of the wool has beenrendered absolutely valueless.

From a humble manufacturing begin-ning in Dunedin two years ago, the dis-tribution of “Agrol marking oil forsheep branding ” has now extended toevery sheep-growing country of import-ance in the world, and the preparation is

obtainable through any accredited stockand station agent.

PRINCESS THEATRE.

Another bright revue, entitled "SecondEdition 1928 Revue,” is being presentedby Len Jackson and his London RevueCompany at the Princess Theatre thisweek. Although it lacks continuity ofplot, consisting, as it does, of a series ofsketches, each complete in itself, therevue goes with a swing from start tofinish, and Len Jackson, assisted byHarry Gould and Nat Hanley, keeps theball of fun rolling merrily, the last-named performer proving especially popu-lar in his jazz interpretations of well-known songs. Throughout, the perform-ance is interspersed a number of vocal anddance numbers, all of which, backed byeffective settings, are highly diverting.Miss Marie Ward, an artiste of more thanusual versatility, sings and dances charm-ingly, and receives capable assistance fromthe ballet, which, attractively frocked,also presents several concerted dancesgracefully. The dancing of RobertRoberts and Arline Patterson is also aturn which is at once novel and entertain-ing. Peter Brooks and Gordon Norvilleare heard in catchy and tuneful ballads,and Jennie Russell and Kathie Usher,who appear in several of the sketches,also handle their respective parts cap-ably.

SPORTS OF ALL KINDS.RUGBY FOOTBALL.

By Full-Back.ANSWER TO CORRESPONDENT.

," Maniototo."—Your second letter makesthe position quite clear. The point isas I surmised —the Maniototo Sub-union permits "teams," not "clubs,"to send delegates to the annual meet-ing. My correspondent gives the fol-lowing illustration of the manner inwhich delegates are appointed to theannual meeting of the sub-union:—"Ranfurly is purely and simply oneclub consisting of a first and a second

' fifteen, yet this club has three dele-gates on the sub-union." . . . Theby-law dealing with the matter readsthat senior clubs shall be entitled tosend two delegates and junior clubsone delegate. On that by-law theManiototo Sub-union is committing adistinct breach, and there is no doubtthat it is illegally constituted. Moreover, as I stated before, while dele-gates can be appointed to representclubs, they cannot be appointed torepresent teams. For instance, asenior club can send two delegates,but if there are senior and juniorteams in the club it cannot be repre-sented by delegates from each team.Such a position would be ridiculous.A 9 my correspondent points out, ifsuch an arrangement were to be intro-duced in Dunedin he would expectthe nest annual meeting to be heldin the Drill Hall.

PIRATES v. SOUTHERN.By the narrowest of margins Pirates

defeated Southern at Bishopscourt, thefinal scores being 6—5 in the Blacks'favour. The Southern team, minus Peter-son, Harrison, and Lawry, registered amuch better performance against theirheavier opponents than was generally ex-pected, the forwards holding the Piratespack during most of the game. In thefirst spell the Black and Whites showedmere dash and initiative than Pirates, whoprovided little concerted play, and ledby 5 points to nil. In the second half,however, the Blacks had play in Southernterritory almost continuously, but onlytwice could they cross the line. ThePirates backs were well fed, but theirhandling was poor, the absence of Gilesand Faulks being sorely felt. Generallyspeaking, the game was a strenuous for-ward tussle. Indeed, during the secondgpell the play of tie two packs was muchtoo vigorous, and there were bad casesof obstruction and playing the man.Under the circumstances, good play wasalmost impossible, and the tactics adoptedby the forwards did not do credit toeither of the clubs.

Jolly, as last line of defence for Pirates,played an excellent game. His rush stop-ping and fielding were features of hisplay, and his kicking was powerful if notalways well directed. Graham, whose per-formances as a wing three-quarter thisseason have been impressive, showedplenty of dash and made several runswhich penetrated well into the defence.His handling, however; was a little un-certain. Fraser, a junior player, filledthe centre three-quarter position. LikeGraham, he showed plenty of dash, butwas uncertain in his handling and pass-ing. Manuel had to retire with an in-jured shoulder, his place being taken bySt. George, who, however, did not im-press. Bouterey, another junior, playedat half-back, but the Southern forwardsgave him little chance of making good.Among the forwards Glendining was al-ways "in the van, playing a fine game,and Gilkison and Clark were the best ofthe others.

Cushnie, the Southern full-back, savedhis side from trouble on many occasionsand was fearless in defence. Some of hisline-kicks were particularly good. Simp-son showed up well at the beginning ofthe game, but Inglis, on the other wing,•was starved throughout the game. M*Ker-row, in the five-eighths line, did morethan his share of saving work and vrasresponsible for some good attackingefforts. H. Todd, behind the scrum, hadto be well watched, and played a solidall-round game. The forwards were aneven, hard-working lot, J. Lewis givinganother good display.

The small number of free kicks givenwas a feature of the game, and in viewof the many cases of obstruction which oc-curred and the general tactics adopted bythe teams, the referee would have beenwell advised had he been much moresevere in his rulings.

KAIKORAI v. ALHAMBRA.' The meeting between Kaikorai and

Alhambra was the attraction at Caris-brook on Saturday, and the game pro-vided kept the spectators keenly inter-ested right up to the last .whistle. Theplay was mainly confined to the forwards,and it was marked by many loose rushes,which turned defence into attack. Kai-korai had the advantage in the tight play,and the North-end forwards in the looserashes. The Kaikorai backs again failedto combine, and were inclined to get outof position, Laing, its first five-eighths,again proving a difficult man to follow.Tie Alhambra backs had several promis-ing chances to break through the defence,but faulty handling at the criticalmoment lost chances which might havebrought victory to their side.

Wilson, the Kaikorai full-back, fieldedthe ball well, and was generally safe, butwas a bit too slow when he came up ascentre three-quarter, after Roy Callan-der had retired hurt in the first spell.Brown, on the wing, did not get manychances, and Laing and Ross, the five-eighths, again failed to link up, althoughLaing made one or two good solo runs.Slaughter, on the other wing, ran withdash when he got the ball, and his try inthe second half was the result of a finedash. Botting, half-back, again played asolid game. He tried to open the gameon every opportunity,and was very soundon defence.

Of the Kaikorai forwards Sonntag wasabout the best, and Cleland also playeda hard game.

Davis, the light Alhambra half-back,played a very plucky game, and he handedthe ball out quickly and accurately toGriffen, who, however, failed to impress.Eon Callander kicked with judgment,but was not strong when it came to pass-ing. Wilson was the best of the three-quarters. He runs straight and stronglyfor the line, and if well fed would scoretries for his side. None of the otherbacks helped their forwards to any ex-tent. As I have stated before, Alhambrashould endeavour to rearrange its insidebacks. Its wing three-quarters seldomget the ball in a scoring position. Ofthe Alhambra forwards the two Soutersand Walker were about the best.

UNION v. ZINGARI-RICHMOND.Union met Zingari-Richmond at Tahuna

Park, and, after a rather ragged game,the match ended in a draw-*-3 points each.Had the Zingari-Richmond forwards putas much dash into their play as theMaroon pack their side would probablyhave won. The Colours' have a goodsound vanguard on paper, but they seemto want a driving force. Garside andRichardson worked hard, and M'Natty■also showed up at times, but one or twoof the other forwards nullified good workby reckless play at a critical juncture.There was not a great deal between theopposing packs, however, but the Maroonswere the harder working, and this enabledthem to beat back the thrusts of theColours' forwards.

Walsh, the Zingari full-back, is shapingvery well, and fie played a serviceablegame, his kicking to the line being par-ticularly well judged. Caradus is nowbeing played at centre, and he is doingmuch better work there. Orr and Procterdid not see a great deal of the ball, andwhen it did come to them it was mostlystraight across the field, and found themjammed on the line. Procter, neverthe-less made one or two good dashes. Hewas a bit unlucky when he put his footover the side line with a try well in sight.M'Naughton, at second five-eighth, playeda good game, but could not get the ballaway. He was very sound on defence.Wills, inside five-eighth, strengthened upthe back division, and his defence was ex-cellent. He brought up many attackingmovements, and saved his 6ide_ repeatedly.Crawford, scrum half, again played asound game. He is a plucky rush-stop-per and passes out well, and his puntingon Saturday was well judged. Zingarimay spring a surprise at any time—thatis when itis on its game.

The Union forwards were triers fromstart to finish, and they really enabledtheir side to make a draw of it. Churchill,at centre, played his usual safe game, buthad he been in good kicking form he

would have added at the very least sixpoints from penalties. Cameron, half-back, made one or two good solo runs, butshould send the ball out quicker from thescrums. Riddle was fairly safe at full-back, and Arthur, on the wing, made seve-ral dashes for the line. , If the Unionwing got more chances he would scoretries for the north end club. Lutnb, five-eighths, played one of his best games thisyear, and showed out in some good dashes.

TAIERI v. DUNEDIN.Dunedin secured its first win of the

season on Saturday, when it defeatedTaieri at Bishopscourt by 6 points to 3points. The ground was rather greasy,and this affected the handling of the ball.As a result, the game did not providemany spectacular incidents, but the Dun-edin backs joined in one very fine passingmovement, Richards being collared just intime. Collett and Toomey were onceagain in the forefront of the rushes bythe Blue backs, and Broome and Hayeswere the best of the backs.

Taieri bad plenty of chances to score,but Bathgate and the two Scqtts were toomuch inclined to go on their own, andthey thus threw away chances. Findlayshowed up well in the Taieri forwards,and Finlayson, wing-forward, also playeda good game. Brown, full-back, was verysound on defence, but his kicking was notstrong.

ARMY SERVICE TEAM.A Palmerston correspondent writes to

tell, me that a spirited argument hasarisen in the township regarding the re-cord of the New Zealand army team inSouth Africa. Here is the record: —

The team visited South Africa on theway home from the Great War and con-sisted of 28 players and a manager. Thetour commenced on July 24, 1919, andended on September 16. The team’s re-cord was as follows:—

THE SOUTH AFRICAN TOUR.There is no doubt that when the news

came through that the New Zealandtour-ing team had won their first match byonly 11 points to 3 there was a sense ofdisappointment. New Zealanders whohave lived in South Africa had told methat this team would be composed ofplayers from the small towns of theWestern Province, towns such as Palmers-ton, Balclutha, and so on. That beingso—and if the statement is a correctone—it would naturally have beenthought that the All Blacks would havedone very much better in their firstmatch. Of course, it has to be remem-bered that it was the first game beingplayed by the All Blacks; but this handi-cap, we were informed, had been allowedfor by the South African Union, whichhad arranged that the initial task of thevisitors should not be a heavy one. Thereare, nevertheless, many experiencedplayers in the New Zealand team, manyof them have played together before, andthey must have had some sort of combina-tion. Moreover, the cabled report ofthe match stated that the opposing packwilted under the attacks of the All Blackforwards, and yet they only gained a vic-tory by 11 points to 3.

Under these circumstances the resultof the second match—against playersfrom the clubs of Capetown—did not comealtogether in the nature of a great sur-prise, though it certainly was not ex-pected. The Combined Capetown Clubs’team which beat the All Blacks is recog-nised as a very strong one, and withoutin any way desiring to detract from thewin of the South Africans, it was hardlya fair thing to pit the New Zealandersagainst them a few days after a seavoyage and for their second match of thetour.

The chief weakness in the All Blackside—in both the matches played—wasthat the forwards could not get the ballfrom the scrums, and the merits of the32—3 formation as against the NewZealand 23—2 formation will no doubtagain be argued from every angle. We sawthe Springboks play in New Zealand, anddespite their weight and strength theopposing packs were able to get a fairshare of the ball from the scrums. WhenOtago played the visitors at Oarisbrookthe Blue forwards gave them a very livelyfirst spell, and this without much assist-ance from their backs. But the massedplay of the South Africans on the lineouts and in the tight work, their weightand strength, wore down the Blue for-wards, who in the first spell had receivedlittle support from the rearguard, andthey were beaten by 11 paints to 3 points.But the New Zealand forwards in thefirst test proved that they could get thehall from the scrums, and so did the for-wards in the third test at Wellington. Idid not see the second test in Auckland.

All this goes to prove that the forma-tion is not entirely the cause. Thatgreat team of New Zealanders whichwent Home in 1905 never suffered from awant of the ball, and they had to playagainst the 32—3 formation. But the1924-25 team, it was agreed, could not getthe ball from the scrums. Still, theywere, so fast and strong that they simplycame through and took it from the oppo-sition.

This brings me to the point I wish toemphasise. If the 1905 team could getthe ball, why could not the 1924-25 team.It may be intersting to add, moreover,that Mr Harris, co-manager of the Maoriteam, informs me that his team got afull 50-50 share of the ball from thescrums.

The answer, I imagine, is that whilethe New Zealand forwards have the phy-sique and speed which should make themgreat forwards, some of them are “scrumshy.” They want to get out into theloose and shine. Consequently too muchstrain is put on the “workers,” they can-not hook or hold the ball, and the rean-guard cannot become an effective strik-ing force. I have seen many All Blackforwards in the past few years, and theforegoing is the answer I must put for-ward.

The most astounding statement I haveever heard in this connection was madeby one of the New Zealand selectors. Hefrankly stated that he did not care ifthe All Black forwards did not get theball from the scrums—it did not matter.This statement was made in reply to asuggestion that he must see that the verybest hookers were selected. It seems tomatter very considerably, however, inview of the reports we have received ofthe two matches already played in Africa.

Still, the All Black team should be, andI firmly believe is, a great side. It maybe idle to offer surmises as to weak playhere and weak play there, because we donot know how the game fluctuated. Thefact remains, however, that on what wesaw of the South Africans in New Zea-land our team should certainly not findthem invincible, and once the side hassettled down and the best team has beensorted out, they will take some beating.But there must be no shirkers in thescrums.

NOTES.Sly Ravensbourne correspondent writes

that Ravensbourne beat Alhambra atRavensbourne on Saturday by 9 points tonil. The game was fast, and good playby the full-back (Burke) saved his sidetime and again. In the forwards Dee,M'Ewan., and Evans, on the wing, playeda good game, and in the backs Guthrieand T. Griffiths also shaped well. In. theThird Grade the Alhambra defeatedRavensbourne badly, and put up a scoreof 20 points to 3. “ That team,” statesmy correspondent, “wants training, andif it does not train it cannot expect towin. Marr, at half-hack, played a safegame, and is always on the alert.” TheSixth Grade managed to make a drawwith Southern.

Boraman, the ex-Southland, South Can-terburv. and North Otago Rugby player,was full-back in the representative trialin Wanganui.

“There was a general upheaval inRugby circles in Motu on Saturday night,when a meeting was held and they‘ sacked ’ the chairman, secretary, andcommittee and elected new officers.”—

Extract from a report made at a recentmeeting of the Poverty Bay RugbyUnion.

During a discussion at the annual meet-ing of the South African Society of Refer-ees, on the subject of the conference withthe New Zealanders, Mr J. D. de Vil-liers pointed out that it would only com-plicate matters if at the conference thesociety’s delegates split hairs. It wouldbe far wiser to keep to the general ideasof the rules.

It was a peculiar hand that fate dealtto the country unions in their endeavourto secure Mr J. M. Ongley, of Palmer-ston North, a well-known Rugbyite andcricketer in the past, a seat on the Man-agement Committee of the N.Z.R.U.,against Mr Roache, of Auckland, who wassupported by the larger unions. Thecountry delegates supported the Palmer-stonian to a man, but his own union(Manawatu) lost him the seat by puttingin an informal vote. It seems a greatpity that the headquarters body does notcontain more members representative ofthe country unions instead of so manyWellingtonites, who, perhaps uncon-sciously, are all for Wellington (states aRugby contributor to the GisborneTimes).

The Star-Inglewood game, played at NewPlymouth recently, was reported to beexceedingly rough. Two players wereordered off the field.

The Canterbury Rugby Union will cele-brate its fiftieth birthday in July of nextyear.

The report that G. Nepia, the famousAll Black full-back, will be playing in theWairarapa this year, is discredited inwell-informed football circles (states theNapier Telegraph). Nepia intended toshift to Masterton this year, but recentlyhe was seriously ill, and it is now authori-tatively stated that if he plays footballat all this season it will not.be till wellon in the year, for he is still sufferingfrom the effects of his indisposition.Those in a position to know of Nepia’sprobable movements scout the idea thathe will be joining Cooke and Irvine inMasterton this year. [A later report wasthat Nepia was likely to play League.This is denied in a telegram received byMr E. Little, of Wellington, from MrM'Farlane, of Poverty Bay.]

According to the cabled account of thematch between the All Blacks and theteam from the Clubs of Capetown, thevisiting forwards could not get the ballin the scrums. This must have had avery pronounced bearing on the game, asthe Springbok backs were enabled to workthe play back by line kicking. They donot play the amended “kick into touch ”

rule in South Africa. This style of gamewas splendidly featured by Eckhold, theSouthern half-back, in the old days. Itsaves the forwards to a wonderful extent,and also enables a side to be worked intoan attacking position.

Writing from Durban to the Christ-church Star, Mr J. R. Sullivan says: “Iwould emphasise and emphasise again theurgent need for the New Zealanders tobe masters of the scrums. The whole;jsuc-cess of the tour will depend on that.”

The game on the Oval at Lancaster Parkon Saturday, between University and OldBoys, was the best seen to date thisseason. By winning a fast and excitingmatch by 23 points to 8, University spranga surprise. A victory for the studentswas generally expected, but it was notanticipated that they would succeed bysuch a substantial margin. On the dayUniversity was the better team in backsand forwards, but the final score flattersit somewhat, the match being moreevenly contested than the figures mightappear to indicate. In the forwards Uni-versity had a distinct advantage in weight.On the south ground at the park Menvalebeat Linwood by 13 points to 8. In thismatch J. Turpin, the Linwood wing-for-ward, received a severe injury to theback of his neck, which rendered himunconscious. He was carried off the fieldon a stretcher and sent to hospital. J.Payne, one of the Linwood three-cmarters,also retired with an injured shoulder.Christchurch had a very easy win overAlbion by 33 points to 3. The crowd atLancaster Park on Saturday was thelargest of the season. After the rain dur-ing the week the grounds were on theheavy side.

Owing to the bad state of the weatherand the effect on playing grounds, alllower grade Rugby football matches werepostponed at Wellington on Saturday.Oriental, the only unbeaten team in thesenior A grade, was hard pressed to beatMarist in a strenuously contested gameat Athletic Park, and it was only in theconcluding stages of the game that theleaders were able to secure the try whiciigave them victory. Poneke registered acomfortable win over Berhampore at New-town Park. Athletic met strong opposi-tion from Wellington at Wakefield Park,but was able to win out in a keen en-counter. Eastbourne extended Petone fora considerable part of the game at Petone,tbe home team taking the lead in thesecond spell and winning by a margin ofeight points. In the B grade champion-ship Wellington met its first defeat ofthe season, going under to University.Johnsonville, by a comfortable win overHutt, now takes the lead. Selwyn andOriental played a drawn game, and Pon-rua accounted for Training College.

NEWSPAPER BOOSTING.Dear “Full-back.”—lt has been rather

amusing to read some of the Wellingtonscribes’ enthusiastic criticism on Heazel-wood, the ex-Otago full-back. One evenwent so far as to say that if he hadnot been hurt in the last trial he ■wouldnow be in South Africa. Seeing thatHeazelwood played right through the twotrials in the South Island and part ofthe last trial in Wellington, it seems tome that the selectors had ample oppor-tunity of seeing Heazelwood in action.These same writers also saw Heagehvoodin the Otago-Wellington match, but Idon’t remember any of them going intoecstasies over his play arid comparing himto Nepia. The only conclusion one cancome to is that when an Otago playerloins up in Wellington he is a farsuperior player to what he is when play-ing as a representative of Otago. Mindyou, I am not saying that. Heazelwooddoes not deserve all the praise that hasbeen given to him, but it does seem a pitythat the Wellington writers were _sosparing with their praise during the trialslast year. I think the sooner some ofthese writers get down to tin tacks andview the players or other provinces withImpartial eyes then it will be the betterfor New Zealand football in general. Idont not think there is any doubt butsome of the players in the team touringSouth Africa at the present time owetheir presence there to the hysterical effu-sions that some of the northern scribespoured upon them. It would be interest-ing to know how many players have beenboomed into the New Zealand teams andhow many have been blasted out. Weare now approaching the stage whennearly every player who represents NewZealand is a superman,’ especially if hecarries about 20 stone in we.ght and cando the hundred yards in nine seconds.Reading the writings of some of thesenorthern writers on their particular pets,especially after one has seen them inaction, one wonders where all their drivelis going to stop. I fancy before thisSouth African tour is over there will bea few broken idols. Mr Hornig, themanager of the team, has been reportedas saying at a farewell dinner in Welling-ton that every player in the team was astar. Very good, Mr Hornig, but itwould have been in much better tastebad he left that for the South Africansto say. I might add that I have oftenseen some of these stars in action, but Iam afraid that I must be hard to satisfy,o’- is it that memories of such men as J.Duncan, Stead, Wallace, Deans, FreddieRoberts, Teddy Roberts, Morrie Wood,and maiy others of the past are still freshin my mind?—I am, etc.,I am, etc.. Smoke SCREEK.

Dunedin. June 1.I am inclined to agree with a good deal

of the criticism of my correspondent.There is one Wellington back at leastin the New Zealand team who is luckyto be there if his play during last seasonis considered. While on the subject of“ stars,” if my memory serves me aright,one North Island writer used that phrasein referring to the New Zealand selectors.It is no use now, maybe, dragging upthese matters, but it is worth while re-membering that Otago and Auckland haveno representation on the Selection Com-mittee.

LEAGUE FOOTBALL.Bt Fobwabd.

SATURDAY'S MATCHES.The attendance on the Caledonian

Ground on Saturday was easily the largestthat has been seen there during thepresent football season. This was pro-bably due to a combination of circum-stances. In the first place, patrons hadthe opportunity of seeing two First Gradematches, and in the second they witnessedthe meeting of the two leading teams inthe competition, neither having been de-feated previously. Then there was theadditional attraction provided by a keenly-contested race put on by the Otago Ama-teur Cycling Club during the interval inthe second match. .

The first match was that between Kai-korai and Athletic. Very ,few of theplayers who shaped so well last year andsecured for Athletic premiership honoursare with the north end team this year,and Kaikorai had no difficulty in register-ing an easy win. Kaikorai made amendsfor its poor display on the previousSaturday by playing what was probablyits best game since the season started.Both the backs and the forwards playedwith dash from start to finish, and theircombination was such that they ran intoa comfortable lead in the first spell, andnever looked like being beaten in thesecond. The surprising feature of thegame was the fine exhibition given by theKaikorai backs. They got the ball fre-quently, and were not afraid to throwit about with the greatest freedom. Theycertainly took chances, but they wereclever enough to utilise many of thosechances to their own advantage, and,above all, they made the game fast andopen—the style of play which delghts any-one who watches a football match. TheKaikorai boys are entitled to credit fortheir fine display, and if they can repro-duce Saturday's form in subsequentmatches they will take a lot of beating.The Athletic players, although wellbeaten, put up a game struggle. At pre-sent they are a young lot, but as theygain experience they will doubtless dobetter, and may yet brine their club backto the proud position it held last year.

A keen contest was looked for whenChristian Brothers and City took the field,as both teams had won most of theirprevious matches fairly easily. Citywas unfortunate in not having met Chris-tian-Brothers earlier in the season, asinjuries have taken heavy toll of itsplayers during the last week or two. Atleast four of City's best players—Connolly,Alexander. M'Cabe, and Townsend—wereunavailable, and their absence wasseverely felt against such a strong side asChristian Brothers, who, by the way, werewithout the services of E. M'Kewcn, whois one of the cleverest players in the codein Dunedin at present. In the first spellCity put up a good fight, and at half timethe Greens were leading by only 5 pointsto 2. In the second half, however, Chris-tian Brothers, as is frequently the casewith them, smashed down the oppositionby dashing concerted play, and carriedtheir score to 19 points, while City hadto be content with the addition of a pen-alty goal. There was no doubt about thesuperiority of the winners, whose displaytowards the finish was one o,f the bestthey have yet given. At times it wasa combination of weight and pace whichenabled the Greens to force an attack toa successful issue, while on other oc-casions an increase in the score wasbrought about by tricky play, whichevoked the admiration of all. The con-dition of the Christian Brothers was animportant factor in deciding the issue.They were able to crack on the pace atany stage of the game, and whenever theopportunity demanded speed and resourcethey were able to rise to the occasion. Theteam is fortunate in possessing severalforwards who are adepts in the passinggame, and who are as good as any backswhen a passing movement is in progress.On its present form Christian Brotherswill be a very hard team to beat.

THE ENGLISH TEAM.The following are some brief notes on

the members of the English team:—J. Sullivan (Wigan), full-back.—Ac-

knowledged to be the best full-back play-ing the game. Kicked his 100th goalof the season before leaving. TouredAustralia in 1924. Welshman, native ofCardiff.

H. Young (Bradford), loose man.—Hasearned his place by sheer merit. A tire-less player and magnificent tackier,

of Cumberland.

NOTES.Harry Thomas was in Dunedin on

Saturday, and was an interested spectatoron the Caledonian Ground. .

Pollock played a clever game for Chris-tian Brothers on Saturday. He madeseveral tricky runs, and on one occasionhe fooled the opposition badly, scoring asplendid try.

I understand that M'Kay will turn outfor Athletic again on Saturday. If hereproduces his old form he will strengthenthe side considerably.

A challenge match between Aucklandand South Auckland for the NorthernUnion Cup will be played on CarlawPark on the 16th inst. The cup is heldby South Auckland at present.

Eckhoff and Kirk worked hard for Cityon Saturday, but their opponents keptclose to the ball and gave them fewchances to do much.

What Wills lacks in the matter ofweight he makes up in energy and clever-ness. He was in the thick of the frayall the time on Saturday, and assistedChristian Brothers quite a lot in theirattacking movements.

Niepier got the ball away nicely fromthe scrums, and as a result the Kaikoraibacks got numerous chances to show theirabilities in handling the leather.

Players should take care to see thatthe numbers on their jerseys correspondwith those on the official guides. Atleast one player wore a jersey with thewrong number on it on Saturday.

Clydesdale was undoubtedly the main-stay of the City backs on Saturday. Heplayed tirelessly from start to finish, andhis resource helped his team out of manydifficulties.

Mackey played one of his best gamesthis season, and helped Kaikorai consider-ably to secure its big win. He wasvery elusive when he had the ball, andhis passing showed a distinct improve-ment.

Cusack, the Christian Brothers’ half-back, played a great game on Saturday.When the ball came out from the scrumshe was away like a flash, and frequentlymade clever openings, putting the otherbacks in a good position to carry on astrong attack.

At a meeting of the Management Com-mittee of the Auckland League last weeka request was received from the OtagoLeague for a match against Auckland thisseason. Consideration of the matter w;aadeferred pending* the receipt of definiteinformation from Dunedin.

Kennedy proved himself to be a veryresourceful player on Saturday. Onseveral occasions he put the Kaikoraibacks in a favourable attacking position,and the openings thus made were generallyturned to good account by the men whohandled the ball subsequently.

Bennetts is a very useful member of theChristian Brothers’ team. Apart fromhis abilities as a place kick, he is capableof a good turn of speed, and generallytakes a lot of stopping when he gets nearthe opposing line.

MTntyre, the bright little Newtown halfof last season, who returned to Sydney,failed to be selected as half-back for theNewtown Club in Sydney. A Sydneywriter says that he was unlucky to missselection. He was one of the five half-backs tried in the trial matches, andshowed good form.

T. O’Connor was generally there whenthe Christian Brothers broke away on adashing attack, and he seemed to revel inthe hard work. He has a good turn ofspeed, and is generally hard to stop whenhe gets going. Ho was ably supported byhis fellow forwards, the most prominentof whom were probably Quinn and E.O’Connor.

Selectors for the New Zealand team tomeet the Englishmen at the beginning ofAugust have not yet been announced bythe New Zealand Council. It is hightime that something was done in thismatter (says the Christchurch Star), andit is to fye hoped that the New ZealandCouncil will ask the provincial leagues fornominations for’the position of selector.

Several applications for reinstatementto League Rugby have been made thisseason by men who have left the gameand have played only a few matches inother codes. Their action was criticisedat a meeting of the executive of the.Ca-nterbury Rugby Longue, and it was statedthat the League did not want such half-hearted adherents.

The Now Zealand League has notifiedthe following additional alterations torules: —That no affiliated league, districtleague, or club should compensate anyother affiliated league or club for thetransfer of any player; that all applica-tions for reinstatement must be referredto the New Zealand League for confirma-tion after same had been considered bylocal leagues, players so reinstated beingpermitted to play pending confirmationof their reinstatement by the New Zea-land League.

The New South Wales and QueenslandFootball Leagues have been made happyby the receipt of an invitation for a teamto visit England next year. It will bethe third visit of a League side to Eng-land from Australia; the first was in1911-12 and the second in 1921. Priorto that Baskerville’s All Blacks, whichincluded several Australians, invaded theNorth of England. Of the 17 testsplayed to date, England has won 9 toAustralia’s 7, scoring 198 points to Aus-tralia’s 192.

In a letter to a friend in Auckland, B.Davidson, the ex-New Zealand representa-tive who plays for Wigan, speaks highlyof the football capabilities of Faircloughand Ellcrby, who will tour the Dominionwith the English team. Davidson parti-cularly draws attention to the clever shortpunt of Fairclough, which enables Ellerbyto use his great speed. “I have seenthe pair win several games in the lastminute by this method of attack,” saysDavidson. The ex-Aucklander also statesthat G. Sullivan, his team captain, islooking forward to a duel with Dufty atfull-back. Sullivan has a high opinionof Dufty’s capabilities and he considersthe Newton man among the best full-back% in the world.

Alterations to the rules governing theNorthern Union Interprovincial ChallengeCup were discussed at a recent meetingof the New Zealand Rugby League, andseveral amendments were made, principalamong which were as follows:—All chal-lenges must be lodged with the secretaryof the New Zealand Council on or beforeJune 30, of each year, after which datethe council shall arrange the sequenceof matches and dates and places thereof,no challenge shall be accepted by thecouncil after June 30, unless the consentof the holders be first obtained; the NewZealand Rugby League will in future re-ceive 10 per cent, of the gross takings,not 2 per cent, as at present, the balanceto be divided equally between the twocompeting leagues.

A reversal of form has been the featureof the two big League matches betweenNew South Wales and Queensland thisseason. For the opening match NewSouth Wales included a big leaven ofcountry players, and the result was thatthe Queenslanders won fairly easily. Theattendance was over 48.0(70, but consider-ably short of the attendance for the firstmatch of the previous season, when56,000 people were present. Reportsfrom Australia indicate that the formwas not convincing, but two players,Gorman and Craig, well known to NewZealanders, were at their best. Improvedform was shown in the second match,which New South Wales won.

PACIFIC JUNIORS.Watson played well as full-back on

Saturday, and, by fast following up,secured a good try.

J. Blackwood is a good winger, andmade some good dashes on Saturday. Heis also a good defensive idayer.

J. Luskie played well as~ centre, but isinclined to be over-confident.

The five-eighths (Bryan and Luskie)combine well. The former is also a use-ful half-back.

The forwards played their best gameto date. They got down smartly, packedwell, and the hooking was of a highstandard.

Corely was in good form on Saturday.Holmes, a newcomer, would, with a

little more training, develop into a goodbreakaway.

Capmpbell is improving. He tacklesvery effectively.

MTPherson played up to form early inthe game before he was injured.

At the last Grimsby (Eng.) municipalelections the driver and the conductor ofthe same tramway car were rival candi-dates, the first a Conservative, and thelatter a Socialist. The Conservative■won.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.By Coexeb Kick.

The interhouse competition which theManagement Committee is endeavouringto get going in Dunedin has so far elicitedan entry from two teams—Messrs Macky,Logan, and Caldwell, and the Tramways.No doubt other entries will be forthcom-ing during the week and the competition,to be run on the knock-out principle, willbe commenced immediately. Now thateverything appears to be under way itwould be a pity if the competition shouldlapse for the want of further entries.

The place of venue for the English Cupmatch between Canterbury and Aucklandis still undecided. At the last meetingof the council the following motion inregard thereto was approved:—

“That the first match should take placebetween Auckland and Canterbury ateither Auckland or Christchurch. Ifboth associations agree to have the matchon its home ground then it will be leftto the council to make a decision.” (Thecouncil’s decision in this instance will bethat the match be played at Christ-church.) If the Auckland Associationagrees and the Canterbury Associationdisagrees, then the match wdll be playedat Auckland. If the Canterbury Associa-tion agree and Auckland disagree thenthe match will be played at Christchurch.

The main points in connection with thealteration to the competition are thatthe home association pays all expensesand takes alj the gate and that the chal-lenge system is again brought into-being.

The council also adopted the reportof the Competitions’ Committee concern-ing the proposed tour of a schoolboys’team consisting of 18 players and twomanagers to Australia, the estimated costof which is £420, and that each associationsending a boy be asked to contribute £2210s for each boy. As far as the localassociation is concerned, the difficulty ofraising the amount required for each boyappears to be insurmountable unless themoney is raised by the parents of theboys chosen or supporters of the game.Many are of the opinion that it is tooearly to consider sending schoolboys toAustralia, the primary school competi-tons held in both the North and SouthIslands gives New Zealand schoolboys anopportunity of testing their strengthagainst boys of other provinces, and this,in a broader sense, would do more goodfor the Association game than the pro-posed trip to Australia.

Next Saturday’s games will completethe first round of the first division com-petition. The displays so far in the majo-rity of the matches generally have beensuch as to warrant a feeling of optimismregarding the succeeding fixtures, and atpresent the indications are that the com-petition is likely to be a very open one.Although Technical has a lead of. onepoint from Northern and Seacliff, it willhave to show much better football thanwas displayed against Mornington onSaturday if the loading position is to beheld. Technical is due to meet Nor-thern on Saturday next, when a keengame is bound to eventuate. The Blackand Whites’ team has been improved bythe inclusion of M'Tavish and M'Hugh inthe forwards. Maori Hill will play Morn-ington, when a win or a loss to eitherwill have an important bearing on theirposition at the end of the season.

Mornington effected a surprise onSaturday in defeating Technical Collegeby two goals to one. It is the first teamsof ar this season to down the colours ofthe leading team on the table and on theplay fully deserved the two cup pointsgained. Right from the start the Morn-ington players settled down to show realteam work, and with their half-backscommanding the play, Technical weregiven little opportunity to make headway.With the chances the forwards of thewinning side had, the score should havebeen greater, but good shooting is one oftheir weaknesses. At the same time,Holden, the Technical goalie, was a bigfactor in keeping the tally of goals down,as he brought off several fine saves of al-most certain goals.

M'Gregor and Donnolly, of the van-guard, were the least effective, althoughthe former was responsible for thecrosses, which brought about the twogoals scored by his team, whilst Donnollywas suffering a recovery from a spell inbed. The ex-Maori Hill player, Fraser,a smart half-back some five years ago,filled the inside right position, where heshowed brilliant touches which had theopposing half puzzled. Connolly andDonaldson, comprising the left-wing, area clever pair who frequently outwittedthose two sturdy defenders. Hector andLindsay. Donaldson’s fine crossings tothe opposite wing were always danger-ous. The team’s greatest strength layin the intermediate line, comprising Kay,Munro, and Laurie Johnson. They weresafe and sure in their tackling and wereever ready to be up with the forwardsto assist in the attacks. All of themplayed outstanding games, with Munrothe most prominent. He was an adeptat trapping the ball and placing witheither foot. As a shot, too, he is verydangerous. Braithwaite proved very sureat full-back, his kicking being cleanlyexecuted. The Hill’s second goal was theresult of a nicely-placed clearance bythis player, which M'Gregor secured andsent across to goal. Rankine gave a safedisplay between the sticks and helpedmaterially towards his team’s win. Ingetting down to stop an almost certaingoal from the foot of Dryden he receiveda nasty knock above the eye, but con-tinued to the finish of the game.

Technical was up against a team whichwas just as fast and nippy as its ownmen, but who showed better control ofthe ball. The placing of their half-backswas poorly directed, whilst the forwardsfailed to connect up with each otherwith any degree of success. Jones andWarnock, on the left-wing, were promin-ent at times, but their attacks alwaysbroke down when in front of their oppo-nents’ goal. Jones was too forceful inhis corner kicks, especially when kickingfrom the top corner. Patton got littleopportunity against Munro, and it wouldhave taken a clever centre-forward to gotthe better of this player on Saturday, ashe was in great form. The right-wing,too, was weak in attack, while Witchell,in the outside berth, does not appear athome. He is much better in the insideposition. The goal he scored was a beau-tiful header, which flashed past out ofreach of the goalie, and goes to prove thewisdom of a defending side lining a manwhen a corner kick is being taken. Inthis case Witchell was given a clearopening.

The half-backs failed to show up toadvantage against the lightning advancesof the opposition. Armishaw was per-haps the best, but on the whole the plac-ing and passing of the trio was lackingin direction. Lindsay and Proctor, thefull-backs, arp a good pair, whose kick-ing was always clean and well directed.At times, however, they are inclined toplay up too close to the half-back line,and this it was that gave Mornington itsfirst goal.

The result of the Maori Hill-Mosgiclgame, which was won by the latter bytwo goals to nil, caused the greatest sur-prise of the week-end. Delay in gettingout to Mosgiel, through a break-down tothe bus, which necessitated a wait untilanother came from town, had an un-settling effect on the Hill players. In thefirst spell they had the bettor of thegame, but the forward line showed weak-ness in front of the goal, and many op-portunities were lost. The along-the-ground passing which is a feature of theirplay was not suited to the rough surfaceof the playing area, and this, togetherwith the narrow ground, contributed totheir defeat.

Morris and Carse were the only twoplayers to play up to form, whilst Cal-laghan, in goal, had very little to dothroughout the game. Proctor was giventwo opportunities to even up the scoreswith penalty kicks, and although his shotswere driven with great force, they wentstraight to the goal-keeper, who fieldedthem cleanly with remarkable judgment,and saved the ball from re-bounding.Apart from the saving of the two penaltykicks. Hall gave a great display betweenthe sticks for the home side, and savedat least five shots, which many othergoalies would have had difficulty in clear-ing. Mosgiel played a better game inthe second half, Skinner, the outside-left,was very prominent, and caused the Hilldefence a lot of trouble. M'Cloy, at full-back, was also outstanding. Owing to thenon-arrival of the appointed referee, theopposing captains agreed to Mr W. Ham-lin officiating. Mosgiel men have causeto bo enthusiastic over their wiu. whichshould give the club a great filip.

_ Both Seacliff and High School Old Boyfiekled substitutes for the match at Sea-cliff. M’Dougall played in his old posi-tion at outside-right, and Duncan re-placed Maxwell, who was hurt the pre-vious week, in the halves. Pope, Cunning-ham. and Maciarlane from the juniorsfilled vacancies in the Old Boyseleven. During the first half Old Boyshad •‘He advantage of the play.

and led at half time, the scorebeing two goals to nil. Seacliff madea good recovery in the second half, An-derson's placing of the ball to Baillieand the wingers' crossing to Hooper inthe centre, being a feature of the play.Gould and Pryde were a steady pair ofbacks and with Chapman (centre-half)proved troublesome to Hooper. The threejunior members of the team played use-ful games, Pope, especially showing upwell in dashes along the line and out-pacing the defence. There was little dif-ference between either 6et of forwards,the ground being in no condition foraccurate shooting. Duncan and Dicksonshowed good combination. Caskie playeda sound game Vmd brought off some goodsaves. For Seacliff bath Anderson andMilne at back were a very safe pair, andRivers, in goal, gave a sure display andhad no chance with those scored againsthim. The half line was good and con-sidering the time Duncan has been outof the game he did well. Hooper, Baillie,and Simmonds were the pick of the for-wards, who all displayed better form inthe second half. The result, 3 goals,each, was in keeping with the play.

The display in the Northern-Y.M.C.A.match at the Oval was of a mediocre des-cription. Although the Black and Whiteshad the honours at the finish—3—l—theyare not a settled combination. Owingto the absence of Munsie through illness,M'Tavish reappeared in his old positionof eentre-lorward, whilst M'Hugh al6oturned out for the first time this season,replaying Young at inside-right. On therun of the play in the first half the teamswere fairly even, the Black and Whiteshaving much the better of the game inthe final stages.

Y.M.CA.'s defence is good, Oastler ingoal, Rogerson and Taylor full-backs andHaldane at centre-half, all played solidgames, Taylor's fine kicking and tacklingin the first half being a feature of theplay. O'Rorke, the centre-forward, whoplayed outside-left on Saturday, was themost oustanding of the forwards, andhad the others made use of his finecrosses the difference in the scores wouldnot have been so great.

Northern's weakness was principally theconnecting link between the halves andforwards. Thompson, at centre, althoughbreaking up the advances ot the opposi-tion, failed to pass the ball to his for-wards with any degree of certainty, andthe vanguard did not have the chancesthat it should have had. Before thesecond half, Scouler went up to thecentre-half position, an arrangementwhich made for better attack and im-proved showing all round.

On Monday Seacliff played the post-poned match with Y.M.C.A., and put upthe record score of 11 goals to 3. Hooper,the Hospital centre-forward, was righton his game, scoring at least six of thegoals from all angles. The game wasnot as one-sided as the score would in-dicate. Y.M.C.A. was frequently on at-tack, but the players were at sea onthe wet and slippery ground and manychances were lost through failure to keeptheir feet at critical moments. Bailliewar •"•ie next most successful scorer forSeacliff, and Law, R. Macpherson, andO'Rorke scored one each for Y.M.CA..

The positions of the teams now stand aafollows:—

BASKET BALL NOTES.

It may have been noticed that a pic-ture current this week includes amongits attractions a basket ball match.“Alpha ” is prepared to believe that itis a bright spot in the picture, but hecannot recommend American collegefilms, much less say where this one isshown. The matter is mentioned onlyto show that the game has a wide vogueand is worth filming. But it must mourn-fully be confessed that backet ball canbe played so that it is not worth filming.The remarks that follow mugt not be takenas criticism for criticism’s sake, but areoffered merely to point out things whichmay, for the good of the game, be reme-died.

Many games on Saturday started late,some very late. Now, this must have ahad effect on all concerned, and teamsand referees should make every effort tostart on time. Then an outstanding faultin a number of games visited on Satur-day was the long hazard pass, by whichI mean a strong throw of the ball justanywhere on spec. This is bad, and noteam that makes it a practice should pre-tend to know the game. Again, a lowupward pass was a feature of one team’splay. It was beaten and deserved to be.A fourth trouble has been mentioned be-fore, and will be brought before the unionif a further gentle hint does not suffice.The rules of the game specify gymnasiumdress and black stockings, and some few(not last-minute emergencies) insist oncoming to play in “other togs.”

In regard to some of the teams seen inaction on Saturday, I may say that onegame—Tinopai v. Rawhiti I (Oval No.1) —was good. In the few minutes ofwatching this match Miss E. Helmkeyand Miss A. King were pleasingly promin-ent. In the game lona v. First, the twoteams were evenly matched, and neithershowed to great advantage. A remark-able feature was the good, combined workof the First shoots coupled with a lament-able inability actually to get goals. Inthe match Cargill Road v. North-EastValley personal contact was much toonoticeable for a B Grade game.

Cargill Road I met North-East Valleyon the Oval, and although it was a goodgame it was inclined to be slow. CargillRoad commenced well by scoring the firstfour goals, after which one was shot bythe opposing team. Play was at bothends for some time, then the south teamscored another goal, the result at halftime being: Cargill Road 5, North-EastValley 1. The second round commencedafter a spell of 10 minutes, and the gamebecame a little faster than in the firstround. Cargill Road secured a number ofgoals in succession, while the north teamplayed hard to raise their score. How-ever, the former proved to be too strong,and the game ended; Cargill Road 19,North-East Valley 0. Miss A. Annisonwas referee.

GOLF.By Divot.

A medal match will be played on theSt. Clair links on Saturday, and post en-tries will be received. In addition, thesemi-finals of the St. Clair Champion-ships will be played. In the seniorsWight will meet Matheson and Claytonwill meet Stevens. The semi-final roundof the Balmacewan Cup competition willbe played at Balmacewan.

The extent of the popularity of theSouth Canterbury championship tourna-ment, which is played annually on theBang's Birthday can be gauged from thefact that this year there were no fewerthan 120 competitors, including about 40from various parts of the South Island.and even from Wellington, who travelledto Timaru to participate in the meeting.That the local club was able to copewith this large number of players is in-dicative of the excellent arrangementamade by the organisers of the tourna-ment. The championship is decidedover two rounds of stroke play in con-junction with which tvo medal handicapsare also played. The competitors playin fours ,and the first fours were sentaway from the various starting points atabout half-past Bj> when the ground wasstill white with frost. year, al-though a week's drizzle had reduced thecourse to a state which was not con-ducive to good scoring, the play wasof the same high standard as has beenexhibited in past years, so that the spec-tators were treated to some excellent golf.For the first time in the history of tietournament the championship resulted ina tie, which will be played off in abouta month's time. S. C. Colbeck (Bal-macewan), E. A. Scott (Timaru-), and C.B. Wight (St. Clair) each returned scoresof 157. In the morning Colbeck re-turned a card of 81, while Wight andScott were 77 and 78 respectively. Inthe afternoon Wight started brilliantly,and was out in 34, while Colbeck, whowas playing in the same four, took 36.In the second half Wight failed to main-tain the same high standard, and camehome in 46 to CoibeckJs 40. Scott againplayed steadily and completed his secondround in 79. B. V.. Wright, who wasrunner-up in the Otago Championship,was fifth with a total of 160, made upof rounds of 81 and 79 respectively.

The Teams' Match, which was playedin the afternoon in conjunction with thesecond round of the South CanterburyChampionship, was won by Oamaru Bteam with a net score of 314. ThenGlen-iti team, with 321, was the runner-up.

In past years,the New Zealand AmateurChampionship has been open to com-petition from all golfers whose club handi-caps are not more than four. Thisyear, however, the New Zealand Golfauthorities have decided to reduce thislimit to three, thus making it necessaryfor a player to have a national handicapof eight before he can enter. That thebest interests of the game will be servedby this decision seems doubtful, as asuccessful tournament of this nature isdependent upon a sufficient number ofcompetitors entering. The new handicaplimit, it is estimated, will so reduce thenumber who are eligible that great diffi-culty will be experienced in obtaininga satisfactory entry. Some idea of theposition may be deduced from the factthat, in the South Island, ■which neces-sarily will be called up to supply a largeproportion of competitors, there are onlyabout 28 players whose handicaps are suchas to make them eligible. It may besuggested, in view of this that the NewZealand Golf Association should recon-sider this question before October. Ifit does not do so, it seems unlikely thata satisfactory entry can be received fromthe number of players at present in NewZealand with handicaps of 3 or under.

In the semi-finals of the Otago Ladies'Golf Club championship Mrs Dodgshunmet and defeated Miss M. Stevens by 4and 2 after an interesting game. Bothplayed steady golf, but Miss Stevens wasunable to take her putts with the sameaccuracy as Mrs Dodgshun. The othergame between Mrs M'Carthy and Miss O.Stevens resulted in a win for Mrs M'Car-thy by five up and four to play. Bothplayed well up to the greens, where MrsM'Carthy had the advantage by reasonof the greater accuracy of her approach-ing.

The English papers, ■which arrived bythe mail this week, contained the reportsof the £750 match at Moor Park betweenArchie Compston and Walter Hagen (hatended in a victory for the former by theextraordinary margin, of 18 up and 17to play. Throughout the match Comp-ston played phenomenal golf. The as-tonishing brilliance of his putting on thefirst day's play was illustrated in the factthat he had only 30 putts in the firstround and 31 in the second. In this wayhe saved 11 strokes, if two putts pergreen is conceded as the number thatthe ordinary mortal is allowed. He cap-tured hole after hole by running downputts from all over the green, the processbecoming so habitual that even Hagen,the recognised master in this particularbranch of the game, was driven laugh-ingly to expostulate. “ Gee,” he said,“ this is wizardry,” as Compston’s ballonce again dived straight into the bolelike a scared rabbit. This was outHagen-ing Hagen with a vengeance,Compston had four 2’s in the course ofthe match, which is a sufficient indicationof the deadly character of his putting.He swung the putter so smoothly andstroked the ball so sweetly that it neverlooked like going anywhere but into thehole. It was, however, G. W. Green-wood writes, not Compston’s extraordin-ary putting alone that contributed tothis wonderful victory; he was fullyarmed and equipped in every aspect ofthe game. He outdrove Hagen, not by ayard or two, but by 20 and 30, and some-times 50yds. One ilustration of Comp-ston’s colossal hitting will suffice. Atthe fourteenth, which measures 295yds,a deep waterway runs across the course,and situated about SOyds from the green.Compston’s drive, representing a shot ofover 300yds in length, finished in thewaterway—really a hazard to catch thetopped second shots of the ordinary mor-tal. As it was impossible to play theball there was no alternative but to pickout and lose a stroke. The story ofCompston's brilliant golf can best be toldin figures. His three rounds were: 67,66, and 70 respectively, and with theextra hole, his total for the 55 bolesplayed was 207, or 13 under 4's. Hagen’sfigures, on the other hand, were 72? 75.74.

The competitors will leave Dunedin bythe 2.15 p.m. train, and a start will bemade as soon as possible after arrival atWingatui.

The race on Saturday will be the six-teenth contest for the cup, which waspresented by Mr W. F. Edmond in 1907.The individual championship last year waswon by J. G. Barnes (Civil Service), theteanis’ race by Caversham No. 1, and thesealed handicap by Civil Service.

NEW ZEALAND CROSS-COUNTRY• CHAMPIONSHIP.

Xhe Dominion makes the following re-marks concerning the selection of July21'as the date of the new Zealand Cross-country Championship:—“Knowing whathappened last season, one is inclined toview this date with alarm. Last seasonthe N.Z.C.C.C. was run on July 2, muchto the inconvenience of all the clubs inWellington, for it necesitated holding theWellington championships before the firsthalf of the season was over. Now, again,the N.Z.C.C.C. are to Be held early—itis not giving the clubs much chance. Itwill have to be held on July 14, a dateby which the clubs will not have hadtime to get their best runners trained.”

Acording to the Auckland Sun, Auck-land’s crack cross-country men are losingno time in getting under weigh withserious training for the New ZealandCross-country Championship. Aucklandwas represented last year by J. W. Savi-dan, Kells, N. Cooper, and C. Scown.Savidan, Kells, and Cooper have all beendisplaying fine form so far this season,and can be depended upon to give a goodaccount of themselves at Wanganui. Theyare almost certainties for the trip. C.Scown has not been well of late, and wasexpected to make his first appearance onthe track at Mangere. He will no doubtbe a strong candidate for the" trip againthis'year, while it is said that Prosser,of the Waikato Club, will be a strongcontender for a place in the Auckland pro-vincial team also. .

A Wanganui correspondent of the Do-minion states that the event will be runover a course of 6| miles. The race willstart on the racecourse. The first partof the course is over flat, often boggy,grass country, with five fences to betaken. After a short stretch on theroad the runners will take to the fields.The next part of the course, flat and usu-ally a very boggy one, has six fences asobstructions. Carrying straight on overa.hill, up a blind road, up another rathersteep hill, down a sandy lane (the countrysteadily rising), the runners will emergeon another blind road, follow down it overa stream, jump a fence to the right, andfinally, rounding a clump of sycamores,ascend a third rather steep hill. Thecourse then drops steeply to a boggy val-ley, and rises equally abruptly again tothe Tayforth road, crosses it, and withseveral fences takes a half-circle sweepand emerges on a blind road. The homestretch is easier, being mostly flat ordownhill, with few fences. After three-quarters of a mile of road, grass bordered,the trail takes to the fields again on theright, ascends and descends a steep hill,debouches on a blind lane, cuts acrossa paddock, and continues down a grassylane, affording easy running. At the enda boggy paddock is crossed, and the coursegoes down another grassy lane, across astream, past the destructor, and into theracecourse again. The course has 35fences, a mile and a-half of road, all ofwhich has easy grass running on the edges,and four miles and three-quarters of grasscountry- There are four rather steephills, boggy country about a quarter of amile in width, and about a mile ofsteadily-rising country on the way out.Only four of the fences cannot be jumped.

ATHLETICS FOR GIRLS.Recently (says the New Zealand

Herald) the Auckland Girls’ Athletic As-sociation acquired the lease of the Remu-era Recreation Ground, and now its in-tention is to organise recreation in theway of summer and winter gam -s for thelargest possible number of girls.

At a recent meeting Miss J. Begg statedthat by securing the lease of the groundit was hoped to provide plaving areasfor anything from 1000 to 2000 girls dur-ing the winter.

Amongst theaims of the Auckland Girls’Athletic Association is one for securingadequate medical examination and medicalfollow-up advice as a basis for participa-tion in physical activities. It also aims atavoiding any sort of countenance of thesacrifice of the individual’s health for thesake of her participation in athletic com-petition.

The association also aims at the pro-tection of girl athlete explorationfor the enjoyment of the sp etator or theathletic reputation or commercial advan-tage of any institute or organisation.

ST. KILDA NOTES.Last Saturday the St. Kilda Club held

its first sports meeting at rorbury Park.The weather conditions were quite favour-able, but the track was in a very heavycondition for running. There were largeentries for all events, and they were allkeenly contested.

The first event was the 100 Yards Han-dicap, and this had to be run off in twoheats. In the first heat C. Tidey (limit)was narrowly beaten for first place by thescratch man (J. Boardman), and wasclosely followed by L. Carter (syds), whofinished in third place. The second heatwas then run off. E. Grainger (limit) heldthe lead to the finish, followed closely byL. Lawrence and T. Mathewson. whofinished in that order. The final resultswere: T. Mathewson 1, L. Lawrence 2, andE. Grainger 3.

The next event was the Half-mile, whichwas a good race. From the pistol thelimit man, L. Buddicom, cracked on thepace, closely followed bv F. Winton andR. Mercer, in that order. On the firstturn of the back straight, the order wasL. Buddicom and R. Mercer in the lead,and still the limit man cracking on thepace. At the turn for the front straightBuddicomb was still leading. About 20ydsfrom the tape the scratch man (J. D.Auld) was overtaking R. Mercer, who waslying second. Mercer challenged, butthrough lack of training, he wag unableto put all his power into the final dash,thus finishing third. Results: L. Buddicom1, J. Auld 2, R. Mercer 3.

The next event was the Broad Jump,in which J. Boardman won, and put an

a wonderful performance from scratch.Results: J. Boardman 1, T. Mathewson 2,and T. Nelson 3.

The 220 Yards Championship was avery keenly-contested race right from thestart, J. Boardman also took first placein this event, and a close finish for. secondplace was seen. Results: L. Carter andT. Nelson running a dead heat.

The club expresses its thanks to theofficials who turned up in large numbersand controlled the races in a very capablemanner, and also to the Forbury ParkTrotting Club for the use of the grounds.

T. Mathewson, a first season’s runner,has the making of a first-class sprinter.He certainly was a surprise last Satur-day, as was shown by the places securedin the different events.

J. Boardman is running well at pre-sent, and he had a day out on Saturday,seeing that he was giving big starts.His performance in the Broad Jump wasthe best of the day, as he was on thescratch mark in that event.

L. Buddicom. the winner of the Half-mile, ran his best half-mile to date. Iam sure that if he settles down to solidtraining he should be heard more of laterin the season.

The officials of the Otago AmateurCycling Club are at present besieged bynumerous offers of prizes by enthusiasticsupporters. The Dunlop Tyre Companyhas generously offered a set of tyres asa prize, while Mr Johnson (the club pre-sident) has presented a gold medal forcompetition. Mr E. Palmer, the well-known rider, has also presented a goldmedal, while Mr P. Traill has offered twomedals. With such support as this,cycling cannot fail to progress in Otago. .

Rae MerCer, who secured third place inthe half-mile, ran fairly well consideringthat he has had no training. He certainlylacked the finishing power in the finaldash against the scratch man for secondplace. This runner was disappointingin the sprints, and although the trackwas not to his liking, he was not fit, asthe result of no training. He has put uppood T,oj-fm-maT ’e-R in +lie past in spriv ■and if he would settle down totraining he should be his old self again.

Jack Auld is running as well as everas was shown in the Half-mile, in whichhe ran into second place from scratch. Ifhe retains his fitness, he will be a hardshould meet with success.

CYCLING NOTES.On Saturday next the first of a series

of road races to be held .by the OtagoAmateur Cycling Club will . take place.The race will begin at Mosgiel, and willbe over a course of 18 miles.

The club is once more indebted to MrC. H. Paul for generously presenting acup for club competition. This cup is. tobe won outright by the rider obtainingthe highest number of points in the club’sroad races. ’

Mr L. Biggs, another enthusiastic sup-porter of cycling, has presented a goldmedal as first prize in next Saturday’sroad race.

The first of a series of races to heheld under the auspices of the OtagoRugby League took place at the Cale-donian Ground last Saturday. A dozenriders faced the starter, and a fine raceresulted. The distance was two miles.

D. O’Brien, the winner, has been ridingfor only a short time, and already hehas some fine performances to his credit.O’Brien was riding -a new machine, uponwhich he has a greatly improved position.He made the pace fast from the start,and finished with a strong sprint. Heshould show up well in the road racenext Saturday.

J. Ewing, who filled second place, rodea good race, and almost caught O’Brienin the final stages.

C. Lucas rode well to obtain third place.Lucas won the Civil Service Club’s road,race a fortnight ago, and has been train-ing very consistently. He will probablybe well up in the next road race.

The back markers—P. Traill, A. Rosen-brock, and H. Cooper—found the pace setby the middle markers too fast, and wereunable to make any impression on therest of the field. It must be noted, how-ever, that the limit in this race wasrather a big one, and the task of makingup about 300 yards in a two-mile race isa somewhat formidable one.

J. Campbell rode well, but showed lackof training when it came to the sprint.

Several riders have been training hardon the road in view of the road racenext Saturday. A. Rosenbrock, H.Cooper, and C. Lucas have beep puttingin some solid work, and their effortsshould meet with success.

W. Templeton has been having a muchneeded spell from racing,-but he intendsto resume training soon in view of thePacific Club’s road race on June 23.

On June 16 the Civil Service Club willhold its second race. This race will beginat Mosgiel, and will be over a course of18 miles.

NOTES.It is semi-officially stated that R. J.

Hillary, the Canterbury junior champion,will not run this year. At present he isliving about seven miles from town (saysthe Christchu-ffi Star), and cannot findtime for training.

wAt a meeting of the Hamer Sub-com-mittee of the Canterbury Centre last weeka letter was received from £Se TimaruClub asking for permission to alter thename of the Temuka to Timaru road raceto the South Island road championship.It was decided to point out that underthe New Zealand Council’s rules such a-title could not be allowed.• The English public schools’ record of

21ft 9Jin for the long jump, which V. B.Y. Powell, formerly of Christ’s College,hut then of Clifton, put up in 1923, hasbeen eclipsed. J. Simpson, of Oundle,beat the New Zealander’s record by sixinches, ath the interschools’ meeting atStamford Bridge a few weeks ago.

Two members of the Timaru HarrierClub travel 52 miles between them totake part in each Saturday’s run. Onemotor cycles from Fairlie, a distanceof 40 miles, and the other is conveyedfrom Temuka by bus.

P. H. Francis, English internationalcross-country * runner, who. is at presentresiding in Gisborne, paid a visit toWellington recently. He has not doneany running since he came to the Do-minion a few months back, but he ex-pects to be getting into form . soon, totake part in some of the big cross-country events. There is just the chancethat he will be seen in action at thecoming Dominion Cross-country Cham-pionships at Wanganui.

_

The ladies’ section of the Hutt Club is

proving most popular, new members turn-ing out each Saturday (says the Do-minion). The ladies have enjoyed thecross-country runs immensely, deriving alot of fun and good health from it. Severalof them have now grasped the idea howto run long distances. They have nowdecided to run in two packs, and infuture they will have the paper out.Thev average from two and a-half tothree miles each Saturday, and as theyhave plenty of spells they are not doingthemselves" the barm the critics prophe-sied with the club was first mooted. Inthe second half of the syllabus it is in-tended to have a few short races of amile and a mile and a-half, and a rosebowl has been presented for the purpose.

The decision of the Timaru Club tohold its road race from Temuka toTimaru on July 14, in spite of theHarrier Sub-committee’s request that therace be held in August, is to be re-gretted (says the Christchurch Star).The Canterbury championship is to beheld on July 7, with the New Zealandchampionship a fortnight later, and itis not likely that prominent runners whowill compete in these important eventswill also compete in a gruelling road racesandwiched in between them. It is alsocertain that the harriers in Otago willbe busy with their club and provincialchampionships, and so will be unable toenter, whereas, if the Timaru race washeld in August, there would be a strongcontingent from Dunedin, as well as allthe best of the Christchurch men, in thefield.

Reputed to be the second oldest tavernin England, the Chandos Arms, Edge-ware, which has been in existence for 930years is to be closed and its licence trans-ferred to new premises at Colindale. Thepicturesque old inn, with its quaintentrance, oakbeams, and wonderful panel-ling, has many associations with thecoaching days. and. according to traditionwas frequented bv the famous highway-man, Dick Turpin. One of the featuresof the inn is an imposing marble fire-place, which originally belonged toCanons, the residence of James Brydges,first Duke of Chandos, and Paymaster-general to the forces abroad from 1707to 1712. A subterranean passage wassupposed to have existed betweenCanons and the Chandos Arms, and tohave been built by the duke so thathe lould enjoy his carousals in thetavern’s wine cellars in secret. Handel,the great composer, who held an appoint-ment at Canons, was a regular customerat the Chandos.

BOXING.By Cboss Counter.

Hector Leckie will meet Tommy Gnf-I fiths at Invercargill to-morrow evening.' A puree of £IOO is at stake.I The Otago amateur championships will!be held in Dunedin about the middleiof July. The exact dates have yet to, be fixed by the 0.8.A.I On July 26 Gene Tunney will meet TomHeeney in a bout for the heavy-weightchampionship of the world. The big fightwill take place at New York.

The New Zealand amateur champion-ships will be held in Auckland, commenc-ing on August 23. They will last forthree evenings.

No reply has so far been received fromNorman Radford, to whom the NorthernBoxing Association wrote to Australiawith the object of matching him. withMatt Hatton and afterwards JohnnyLeckie. The Aucklander is keeping him-self in trim with the object of meetingLeckie if Radford does not come across.

At the conclusion of his Australian con-tract Lachie M'Donald, the middle-weight

! champion of Australia, will return to theI Dominion, but this will not be until earlylin July (states a northern writer). The

! Northern Boxing Association had hopesof staging a contest between M Donaldand Jim Broadfoot next month, but theprospects of such a fight are not rosyso far.

As was expected, the bout betweenHarry Casey (Christehurch) and NelsonM'Knight (Palmerston North) for themiddle-weight championship of New Zea-land, which was staged at PalmerstonNorth on Monday evening, resulted in awin for Casey, who retained his title byknocking out his opponent m the seventhround. On M'Knight's showing in Auck-land it was unlikely that he would besuccessful, and the report of the contestshows that he was the loser throughout.

The boxing contests at the OlympicGames will be held from August 7 to 11.Each bout is to be of three rounds oithree minutea each. Winners ot finalsin light-weight classes will, score threepoints each for their countries, and run-ners-up two points. The losers of semi-finals will be matched with each otherto see who shall be classed third andgain one point for his country. _

Quite a number of willing novices wereseen in action at the Drill Hall duringthe week, when members of the OtagoBoxing Association and the pupils fromvarious Dunedin schools rallied round thecarnival banner hoisted by the LabourParty. Mr H. Divers acted as referee,and a special feature of the three-nightprogramme was an exhibition given byJohnny Leckie and Fred Smitheram.Among the lads who showed promise in

the first round of the tournament was U.Chettleburgh. a light-weight who boxescorrectly and fairly consistently.

Some time ago I mentioned that theOtago Boxing Association intended to com-municate wjth the New -Zealand Councilregarding a statement that had been pub-lished in the north. This was to theeffect that Mr Craig had announced at theannual meeting of his association that theOtago Boxing Association was violatingthe rules by importing boxers withoutthe sanction of the New Zealand govern-ing bodv. The secretary of the New Zea-land Council has written to Mr Diversstating that there must be a mistake, be-cause it was quite clear that his associa-tion had nothing to do with the importa-tion of boxers.

The financial statement of the NewZealand Boxing Council is now in circu-lation among the affiliated associationsthroughout New Zealand. It shows thatthe gross receipts for the past year were£1655 17s lid. The amateur fund ac-count shows a credit balance ot £9l issd, and the championship overseas accountis in credit to the amount of £5Ol lis id.In both cases, however, these figures arelower than those of last year. The generalfund account is in credit to the amountof £B4 14s sd. The total credit balanceof the three accounts is thus £677 6s lid.During the year the sum of £lO7 5s wascollected by the council and various asso-ciations for the Overend fund.

' Last Saturday evening the DunedinCombined Sports Club held its third tour-nament in Tom Harris's gymnasium. Therewas a large gathering of members, andsome excellent boxing was witnessed.A feature of the evening was the goodform shown by several of the novices, andtwo "very promising lads—D. Lang andW Elliott—put up one of the best boutsyet seen in the novice fly-weight class.Another good display was given by b.Brookes and J. Craig in the same class.It is pleasing to see so many novices com-ing forward, and the entries show that thelocal instructors recognise the value ofboxing at the tournaments, where thebovs soon get the confidence required whenperforming before the public.

Fulcher was seen in action with K. Pat-terson and appears to be just as good asever. This was a clever display. Themost exciting bout of the Evening wasbetween T. W. Webber and Alf. Rowe,and both boys received veil-earned ap-plause at the end of three fast vigorousrounds. The following were the bouts:—Paper-weight, L. Tombs v. E. Graham;fly-weights, T Lang v. W. Elliott, S.Brookes v. J Craig; feather-weights—J.Ramsay v. J. unningham, T. W. Webberv. A. Rowe, . Bain v. J. Pledger J.M'Combe v. ' Campbell; light-weights—R. Fulcher v. R. Patterson, L. Hood v.V. Parker, J. Mitchell v. C. Dudson. Theduties of referee were carried out ably by

Mr H. L. Humphreys.The outcome of Jack Kilmartm s visit

to Australia as an agent for the 0.8.A.has been highly satisfactory, and Dunedinenthusiasts are delighted at the prospectof seeing popular Johnny Leckie in actionagainst Tommy Barber, ex-feather-weightchampion of Australia. When he arrivedin Sydney Mr Kilmartin lost no time in ar-ranging an interview with the principalsof Stadiums Ltd., and the secretary otthe 0.8. A. (Mr H. Divers) received acablegram from him on Friday last. lnisannounced that Barber had been secured,and would arrive about the middle of themonth. Barber's manager, Pat O Con-nor, stated some time ago that the Aus-tralian lad would require plenty of timefor training after his arrival, and it is

likely that he will be given a clear fort-night for his preparation. In all proba-bility the original arrangement will beadhered to—Barber will meet Tommy

Griffiths first, and will be pitted againstJohnny Leckie a week or two later. Itis proposed that the preliminary to thefirst big fight will consist of a 10-roundprofessional bout between F Smitheram(Dunedin) and Pocock (Chnstchureh),and there is some suggestion that Billy

I Leckie—a promising entrant for this'i year's Dominion championships—shall\ take part in a six-round amateur bout

! as a preliminary to the Leckie-Barber con-i test1 Unless I have been greatly deceived by

i all that has been written and said aboutBarber, he should prove to be Johnnys

: toughest proposition to date. Norman■ Gillespie gave the New Zealand cham-[ pion an anxious time, and Barber is saidto be a better all-round man than his

1 predecessor. Another excellent feather-weight who would be welcomed with openarms in Dunedin is Norman Radford, theEnglish boxer, who has been appearing atthe Sydney Stadium. Although beatenby Barber, the English lad appears to bevorth securing, if Mr Kilmartin canmanage it. In view of the present cir-

cumstances, the following report of theBarber-Radford contest will interest Dun-edin followers of the sport:—

Thrown to the floor one minute afteri the start of the fifteenth round of theircontest at the Sydney Stadium, TommyBarber (8.10|) won on a foul from Eng-lish feather-weight Norman Radford(8.12). For 10 rounds Radford was byfar the better scorer, his principal blowbeinc a left to the body. Barber foughtwell when at close quarters, but often hebacked away from the Englishman, in-stead of attacking. However, he altered

I his tactics in the eleventh round, on theI advice of his trainer, Pat O'Connor, andattacked vigorously. In the last half

!of the twelfth round the AustralianI knocked down the Englishman with a

to the chin. The next round wasfought at a terrific rate, and in a rallyjust before the bell both boxers fell outof the ring. Barber being on top. Re-covering. Radford improved in the nextterm, but in the final round he committedthe foul for which he was disqualified.

It is an open secret that Jack Kilmartinis doing his best to secure Radford forDunedin, and in doing so he is sure to becompeting strenuously with northern as-sociations. So far he is hopeful of secur-ing the Enelish lad for Dunedin, but atthe time of writing no further word hasbeen received from him.

The Italian Under-secretary of Statefor Justice announces that he proposesto prohibit women from attending trialsas spectators. The courts, he says, mustcease to be made theatres, whither womencome in search of sensation and to dis-play their toilets.

HOCKEY.By Centbe Half.

The match between Technical Old Boysand High School Old Boys on Saturdaywas productive of one incident which wasso unusual as to be of special interest.I refer to the circumstances which ledup to the accident suffered by -Davies,the Technical goal-keeper. Webber(High School Old Boys) came up thefield with the ball, and Davies went outto meet him. Webber, however, was suc-cessful in getting past Davies, but in themeantime Jory had run behind, and liedrove hard at Webber's goal shot. ineball flew up, striking Davies on the headand bounced back into the net, givingSchool a goal. It had the unfortunateeffect, however, of putting Davies out ofaction, and at the time of writing he is

still in Hospital.The Technical wing-halves have one

rather noticeable fault. They each hitstraight up the field every time theystrike the ball. They would be well ad-vised to introduce more variety into theirstrokes.

A tendency on the part of one or two>members of the High School Old Boysteam, to hit indiscriminately with theirsticks, was noticed. This is a tendencywhich should be strictly curbed, as seri-ous results might follow a hit from acarelessly swung stick.

Both City and Albany showed poor com-bination on Saturday, and indiscriminatehitting was evident, especially among theforwards. Twose, Albany's guardian,played a good game, but the full-backs,Wallace and Whitburne, were inclined tohit wildly. The halves were playing well,but they are rather inclined to get outof position. Day played a good forwardgame, but. he should guard against knock-ing on. Rennick, it was noticed, wasspoken to on the subject of appealing.

Lack of training was rather obviousamong the City players, and Len Ireland sabsence made itself felt. Barnard, thegoalie, was inclined to leave the goal tooopen at times, but Smith and Les Irelandplayed a good defensive game. Smith,however, sometimes tries to pass toomany opponents without getting rid ofthe ball. The halves, Gurr, Chantrell,and Withell, are a strong line, but theyseemed to get out of place too often onSaturday. The forwards were unable tocombine, and the bulk of the work fellupon Mayston and Woodfield. It was afairly close game, and it seems certainthat if Albany can keep up last Satur-day's standard of play it will be a hardteam to beat during the rest of theseason.

I have received the following notes onthe game between Otago University andVictoria in the final of the interuniversitytournament from an Otago man who wasa spectator:—

The ground was very heavy, and Otagowas playing uphill against the wind.What struck me most forcibly was theamount of obstruction indulged in by bothsides, and this towards the end of thegame developed into rough play. Vic-toria brought the score to 2 all shortlybefore half time, the goal coming from apiece of offside play. The left wing wasbetween the two full-backs, but the refereewas not in a position to see it, as hewas down in Victoria's half. It seemedridiculous that one man should be askedto referee, and from all appearance aman about 50 years. In the second halfOtago was much superior to Victoria, andit was only at times that Victoria brokeaway. The Otago half line played a splen-did game, feeding the forwards judi-ciously, and the backing was excellent.This was probably what kept Victoria onthe defence. The left-wing forward ap-peared to me to be afraid, and was veryweak in taking the ball up, but the restof the forward line played pretty hockey.Their stopping from corners, however, wasin marked contrast to that of Victoria.One Victoria forward especially stoppedthe ball and got his hit in with plenty otforce and always good direction. TheOtago goalie saved some hot shots, andhis footwork was good. The goal scoredbv Otago in the second half was theculmination of a beautiful piece of com-bined work, and, although it was a greatshot, the goalie made a good attempt atstopping,'and was really unlucky in thatthe ball bounced off his pads into theB °The beneficial results of n tour on thegame of the travelling members is oftenvery marked (says a writer in theWanganui ' Herald). It is next to im-

possible to produce a finished player by

local games only. Playing Saturday afterSaturday beside the same men andagainst the same teams, even the playerof more than ordinary natural ability is

likely to develop a set style—usually anincorrect one. Clubs arc seldom so for-tunate that they have not to include someweak players in their teams, and thestrong ones are constantly drawn out oftheir places to do their -work. This may#not affect an experienced player whorealises what he is doing, but is likely toproduce bad results in a young player.When he finds himself playing in a team,each member of which is competent to dohis own work, he soon to drop intohis place. A travelling team has the op-portunity—-and generally the inclination—to discuss the play both before anaafter matches, and this alone does a vastamount of good. Playing several gamesin succession in ‘a strong team againstother strong teams and talking about thepoints will put a finish on a player’s gamewhich it must otherwise lack. After thefirst game the members of the team getto know each other’s play, and thepleasure ot playing in a good team isenhanced by the extra keenness felt inplaying against "strange opponents in astrange town before spectators who arewith the other side. All who have hadexperience of this class of hockeoy willagree that it is the most enjoyable ofany.

LADIES’ HOCKEY.The seven-a-side tournament at Logan

Park on Monday -was carried through toa successful conclusion from every pointof view. The day of the tournament eachyear is the gala day of the country hockeyenthusiasts, and I think every team thatattended from a distance—and, indeed,the town entrants as well, will be quiteprepared to vote this year’s meeting thebest yet. The attendance was the largestthat has yet favoured the tournament,and the entry of competitors—l 7 AGrade and 33 B Grade—was also a re-cord. One very satisfactory feature wasthe fact that, in spite of having feweropportunities for practice, the countryteams were well able to hold their ownwith the town players. In every sectionthe visiting teams were well up on thelist. The grounds at Logan Park, withthe exception of one, were quite satis-factory, and the two in front of the grandstand stood up to the wear of a day’splay excellently, being in good shape forthe final matches of the tournament afterbeing continuously in play for fully sixhours.

The semi-finals of the B Grade compe-tition were well contested and the finalgame between Taieri and Totara was anexciting encounter. Totara’s winninggoal was the result of a tricky run upthe field and a good shot at the finish.

The final of the A Grade competitionwas probably the hardest struggle formany a day. Watea won section 1, whileUniversity was victorious in section 2,and these two met to decide the finalissue. The first spell ended with no scoreon either side, but in the second half eachteam scored a goal, the game being adraw at the call of time. Two extraspells were played, in which both teamsstrained every nerve to register the oddgoal, but it was not until a third extraspell was more than half oyer that Uni-versity succeeded in securing the scorethat won the day. It was a really thril-ling encounter, and it kept the large crowdon tip-toe all the way. If anything, wereneeded to make the tournament a genuinesuccess from the point of view of thespectators, it was such a game as the AGrade final.

RUGBY RULES ANDPROBLEMS.

Bx Chevauosb.

I have been asked to adjudicate upona couple of problems.

(1) A team has been pressing the de-fenders for some time when a free kickis awarded to the defenders. They haveto take the kick behind their own goalline. In an endeavour to clear, the ballstrikes the goal post What is the rul-ing?"—lf the ball from such a kickshould happen to strike the goal post orthe cross bar and rebound into touch ivgoal or over the dead ball line, then ar.other kick must be taken, and the ba:must cross the goal line. The instruction in the law book reads: "If the kickbe taken from behind a goal line, theball must, travel across that .line, other-wise the kick must be retaken." Thecrux of the position, if any doubt shouldarise, lies in the statement that the ballmust travel across that line, otherwisethe kick must be retaken." (2) Can you inform me what may be

done by players when the ball is in ' Ingoal'—that is, over the goal line?"—Thisquestion may be answered by indicatingthe infringements that may take place in" In goal " on the part of both the attack-ing and defending sides. Referees andplayers should particularly note these

as a considerable amount of hazi-ness exists as to what may or may notbe done when the ball has crossed theline. In the rush of the game an attack-ing player gets offside, and seeminglyscores a try. The referee must penalisethe offside player in "in goal" andaward not a try, but a force down. Notethat only the attacking player can be off-side in "In goal." A defending playercannot be offside in his own "In goal.If an attacker knocks on or throws for-ward in "In goal," again the refereimust award a force down. Both thesecases come- muVi a very definite rule,whkh reads: "The referee must disallowa try and award a touch down if in hisopinion a try would undoubtedly nothave been gained but for unfair play or

unlawful fhterference on the part of theattacking side." Then there is the caseof an attacking player having crossed theline, proceeding to ground the ball, butbeing held, not collared, by an opponentbefore the ball is grounded. Tlyj awardmust be a five yards' scrummage in thefield of play. This is a point on whichmuch education is needed. Many a try

has been awarded when a five yardsscrummage would have been a more cor-rect decision. Under this heading comesthe possibility of opposing players plac-ing their hands on the ball at the samemoment, or, of an attacking player plac-ing the ball so as to score a try when in

the same fraction of time an opponentplaces his hand on the ball. In eachcase the award is a five yards scrum-mage, and not a try. When attacking

players indulge in obstruction or anykind of unfair play so that a try maybe gained the referee must use hisauthority and award a force down to thedefenders.

Occasionally a player touches downand then, to improve the position ofthe trv, picks up the ball in order toplace ft in the most favourable positionL kicking a goal. The referee mustaward the try at the place where theball was first touched down. Very often,when the defending side is in difficultiesa plaver will kick, pass, knock, or carryback "the ball across the goal line so thatit may be forced. These are all breachesof the rules, and a scrummage must takeplace at the spot where the ball was

taken back over the goal line m.any ofthe ways mentioned above. When thedefending player knocks on or throwsforward then a five yards' scrummage is

ordered. Sometimes a defending playerretires into his own "in goal to takea free kick. When the kick has beentaken, it is discovered that some of his

own side are in front. The penalty is

a scrummage five vards from the line. Inthe case of obstruction and unfair playb v a defender the referee must awarda trv if he is certain that the actionof the defending player prevented a tryfrom being scored.

One or two other points need emphasis-ing. Unless the referee has "boughthis experience, or has been efficiently" schooled," he is apt to overlook the factthat a try may be scored by a playerwho is out of bounds or in touch ingoal, so long as he is not in possessionof the ball. There are manv people whoimagine that when a player is in touchit is impossible (for him to do anything.If in possession of the hall when outof bounds he is also out of court as aplayer.

There are occasions when the balltouches the referee or touch judge or aspectator. This is unfortunate if it hap-pens when plav has crossed the goal line.The ball at once becomes dead, but thereferee holds the power to award a forcedown to the defenders or a try to theattacking side. He is the man to decidewhat would have happened if the incidenthad not occurred.

It is possible that infringements maytak© place in “ in goal ” that are notprovided for in the Law Book. If theattacking side commits an offence in “ingoal ” the penalty is a force down. Ifthe defending side is the culprit then afive yards’ scrummage must be ordered.Sometimes the referee gets rattled towhat decision he should give in “ingoal ” play when a breach of the ruleshas occurred. He is always on safeground in awarding a touch down if theculprit is an attacking player and a fiveyards’ scrummage if he is called uponto decide against the defender.

Before concluding this article I desireto refer to questions raised by two cor-respondents in the Otago Daily Times.On Thursday last “ Snag Point ” re-ferred to the referee compelling the teamsto wait for the line up. I have alreadyemphasised that there is no necessity forthe: man who throws in the ball to waituntil the teams line up, as long as the ballis thrown in at right angles to the touchline. Every referee, particularly FirstGrade referees, should know this, andit is a great pity when he has to betaught his job by players or spectators.When two balls are being used, thereferee is within his right in making theman who throws in wait till the teams arein position, because the rules of Rugbymake no provision for the use of twoballs.

“A Clean Sport" writes a letter thatprobably required to be written. At thesame time he clearly fails to realise thedifficult task that is set our referees. Ihave a feeling that the source of thetrouble lies further back than the playon the field. I could write in no uncertain tone about some tactics that havebeen adopted. The average spectatorhates to hear the whistle blow, and thereferee who does his duty is liable tobecome very unpopular. A number ofillustrations are given by “A CleanSport,” and he wants to know what thereferees have done in these cases. Hewrites:

“ On the previous Saturday whatnotice did the referee take when the spec-tators ‘ numbered ’ a Kaikorai player forclouting one of the Light Blues ?” Iwatched that match from close quarters,and never saw the incident referred to.It probably happened, but must thereferee take direction from the crowd?Surely not. At one game this season Iheard the crowd “ number ” a certainplayer. I was acting as line umpire rightalongside the player concerned, and hedid nothing but play the game. It wasan obvious move bv a section of thecrowd to influence the referee. Surely“ A Clean Sport ’’ does not stand forthat kind of thing. The referee canact only on what he sees, and when hedoes act Igt the crowd support him, andnot cry put for him to swallow hiswhistle as was done recently. With “ AClean Sport,” I am a strong advocateof drastic action with the player who“ plays the man,” but the referee musthe sure of his ground. nd not takedirection from the crowd. With somany players in action, and with so muchrapid movement it is easy for the bestreferee to miss much that takes placein a strenuous game.

SOUTH ISLAND DAIRYASSOCIATION.

ANNUM. MEETING.

Tit annual meeting of the South IslandDairy Association was held in theY.M.C.A. rooms yesterday. The presi-dent, Mr H. J. Middleton, occupied thechair, and there was a large attendanceof delegates.

CHAIRMAN’S REMARKS.The adoption of the annual report and

balance sheet was moved by the Chair-man, who extended a hearty welcome toall present. He was pleased to see sucha gathering, notwithstanding the attrac-tions of the race meeting at Wingatui.They would have noticed from the bal-ance sheet that the association had hada fairly satisfactory year. The financeswere getting into a pretty healthy condi-tion, and unless something unforeseenhappened he thought the financial pros-pects were quite good. The better theywere the better it would be for themembers, because it meant that the asso-ciation could do its work more economi-cally than it had been doing it in thepast. That was the sole object of theassociation.

With regard to the machinery depart-ment, Mr Middleton stated that the direc-tors had fully achieved all that they hadset out to do. It was not a money-making branch, but they had got pricesdown. So long as the work was done asit had been done during the last year ortwo at the prices charged the directorswere perfectly indifferent whether theygot very much money out of the depart-ment. They had set out to break downprices, and he was saitsfied that theyhad accomplished that.—(Applause.) Theywere just going to stand by and see thatprices did not go up. At the same timethe directors would be all the betterpleased if members gave the associationtheir work to do, and thus give the asso-ciation a chance to make the branch payits way, which it was not quite doing atpresent.

Mr Rutledge: Supposing you get amonopoly, what will you do then?

The- Chairman: When that time ar-rives we shall see what we shall do, butas long as you are in the business I donot think we shall get a monopoly.

The Chairman went on to state thatthe production figures for the SouthIsland had fallen away a good bit. Thebutter graded for export showed a de-crease of 38.315 .boxes, while the decreasein cheese was 4835 crates. That was nottoo satisfactory, but it might be ac-counted for partly by the very badweather in the early spring, and partlyby the much higher prices ruling forsheep. Sheep farming had been muchmore attractive, but there were variousother causes contributing to the decreasein output. There had been a good dealof trouble amongst the dairy herds. Hebelieved that it was becoming more in-tensely difficult to get cows to calve atthe proper time, if they calved at all.The North Island had held its own inthe matter of export, and the Dominionas a whole had exported more than inthe past. It might be that the NorthIsland had gone in more solidly for herd-testing and top-dressing—two of the mostimportant factors in connection withdairy production. Top-dressing was animportant factor in regard to all farmingoperations. He was convinced that if theaverage dairy farmer looked round andsaw what the most enterprising of hisneighbours were doing he would be ratherdisgusted with his own results, becauseall over the place there was a sprinklingof men who got from £2O to £25 per cowover the whole herd, while a vast numbergot returns down to £l2. Everythingover £l2 was nsofit. The good resultswere brought about partly by testing,breeding, and culling, and very largelyby better feeding, which resulted fromtop-dressing. It was rather amazing tohim that people were so reluctant toadopt what had benefited their neigh-bours so much. It was no answer for aman to say that he could not afford toface the cost, because the harder up hewas the more he needed to adopt an en-terprising policy. If these two pointswere attended to properly the whole in-dustry would be revolutionised.

The quality had been pretty well main-tained, said the Chairman. There wasa persistent demand for farm dairy in-struction. He understood that in fheNorth Island the people very largelyfavoured that, and he did not quite under-stand why there was a good deal of oppo-sition to it down here. They looked withdisfavour upon inspection, and everyonehated the inspectors. The inspectors wereont to try to teach the farmers, and ithad been proved - that they did a vastamount of good. He was glad to see thatMr Singleton had arrived, because hethought he would like to say somethingon this subject. He thought the time hadfully arrived when the subject should bediscussed.

It was not necessary, said Mr Middle-ton, to draw attention to the fact thatthe cheese people had been on a betterwicket than the butter people. In hisopinion they always would be, becausethey had not the same competition on theEnglish market as there was in the caseof butter. He would say that there wasa difference of 3d to 4d per lb in the pay-out between the two branches of the in-dustry.

Last year he had referred to the portcharges, particularly at Bluff. The direc-tors had then succeeded in getting a re-duction from the Otago Harbour Board,and they tackled the Bluff Board. Theyhad secured quite a satisfactoryreductionin the charges. They had not got quiteinto line with the charges at other portsyet, but there was a big improvement.The old rates at Bluff for butter andcheese were 2s 6d and 3s per ton respec-tively, but the directors had secured aflat rate of 2s per ton on both products.In addition, the Harbour Board had in-creased the number of crates deemed tobe a ton from 10 to 12. This method ofcalculating the weight was purely arbi-trary. There were different figures inpractically every port, ranging from 10 to15 _ crates to the ton. The reductionwhich they had secured for the Southlandpeople meant a saving of about £IOSO perannum, which was quite satisfactory.—(Applause.) It represented about fivetimes the amount which the associationcollected in subscriptions over the wholeisland.

Later on Mr Fisher was going to saysomething about the National IndustrialConference which he and the speaker weredeputed to attend. He (Mr Middleton)attended the first session, but unfortu-nately he was then laid aside for a fewweeks, and was not able to attend thesecond and third sessions. . At the firstmeeting they had accomplished something,and if the Legislature gave effect to therecommendati-. 'i it would mean to a verylarge extent, in his opinion, that the de-mand put forward by the whole industryfor the abolition of the Industrial Con-ciliation and Arbitration Act would begiven effect to. He believed that theywould arrive at that by a roundabout wayas a result of the resolution come to bythe employers at the conference. Forthe first time on record he thought theyhad got the whole lot on side on oneimportant point, which, if given effect to,would very largely dominate the wholeposition. He supposed they knew whathe was referring to. There would be agood deal of difficulty in connection withit, but they have to put up with that.

Mr Fisher would refer to the export ofsurplus calves. The scheme had been quitesuccessful, and if they were not interferedwith too much by new Government regu-lations, which were threatened, they hopedto carry on a much bigger scale nextyear. Some other provinces were in-teresting themselves in the matter witha view to starting the industry.

Mr Middleton went on to refer to thecompetition which the association hadbeen carrying on for some years, prizesbeing given for the cheese maker and thebutter maker who attained the highestgrading for the whole of the export sea-son. The winners got a medal, with theprospet of winning a handsome cup inone case and a shield in the other. MrJ. Pellowe had won the butter competi-tion with an average grade of 94.574,which was a very satisfactory grade,though it was not quite as high as MrPellowe won with last year. There was,however, very little difference. In thecheese competition last year’s winner, whoalso won the year before, had had to takesecond place to Mr Neil Marshall, whowas the winner with a grade of 94.005.

Mr Middleton said he wished to referto the serious falling off that had takenplace in the dairy exhibits at the OtagoWinter Show. The A. and P. Societywas very much perturbed about thematter, and it seemed extraordinary thatwhile they produced such a quantity ofdairy produce, there was very little com-petition in many classes. One of thereasons advanced for the lack of compe-tition was that there were three or fouroutstanding manufacturers, and that theOthers were scared to face them. He was

going to suggest to the A. and P. Societythat it should introduce another class, forwhich the association would be verypleased to donate a trophy valued atabout 3gns, to be won straight out, fora maiden class —for those who had neverwon any previous competition. Theyhoped to get better competition thatway.

“We J»ave had a year’s experience ofdaylight"saving,” said Mr Middleton, “ andwe do not like it. So far as this in-dustry is concerned we have determinedthat the thing is dead and burned, neverto be resuscitated. I am convinced thatthe authorities recognise now how ex-tremely it is amongst the farming com-munity from end to end of the country.There has been an outcry against it bythe farmers, and I think the authoritiesare going to take some notice of it. Ipredicted that the measure will notre-enacted, and I hope I am right.”—(Applause.)

Mr J. B. Thacker seconded the motion.Mr C. R. Smith (Co-operative Dairy

Company of Otago) referred to the needof research stations. This year, he said,the education system of the Dominionwas in the melting pot, and the futurequestion lay with the education of theboys and girls in the country. The bulkof the children living on the land got theordinary Sixth Standard education, andthey had to rest on that, but in their in-dustry the teaching of physics and chemis-try would wipe away all the troublesthey were faced with. Why should everyindustry in the colony with the exceptionof the" primary industry get a specialeducation at the public expense, whilethe farmers and those engaged in dairy-ing got nothing but ordinary Sixth Stan-dard education? The association shoulddemand that a basis of a higher educa-tion should be provided for their boysand girls. In Balclutha they had estab-lished a high school, and they had deliber-ately barred the teaching of agriculture.He thought it was a crying shame that noprovision was made for the children ofthe country. The speaker referred to thedifference of 10s between the prices ofthe farmers in the South Island should paySouth Island. He wanted to know whythe farmers in the South Island should paymore. Those who were producing butterat Is 3d per lb were producing under cost.Every service given by the cities wasgiven under award conditions, and thefarmers were being bled in every direc-tion.

The motioin was carried.DIRECTORS.

The retiring directors—Messrs H. H.Meredith (Waimate) and W. Stalker(Rangiora)—were re-elected unopposed.

SOUTHLAND CALF COMMITTEE.Mr Fisher submitted a report on the

Southland calf export scheme. Thespeaker said he had brought before theannual meeting last year the advisabilityof introducing the scheme, and a commit-tee had been set up to give effect to it.The whole value of the industry did notat the present time amount to a greatdeal of money, but there were possibili-ties which encouraged them to push onwith the scheme. Committees fromSouthland, Otago, and Canterbury hadmet, and it had been decided that South-land should go on with the scheme in themeantime. The Southland committee hadappointed a sub-committee to wait onthe manager of the Southland FrozenMeat Company, and- the company hadagreed to hahdle the claves. They badgot a price from the company, and theyhad agreed to guarantee 20,000 calves. Ifthey could not provide that number theassociation was to drop out and let thecompany go on with the scheme if it sodesired. Guarantees for 20,000 calveshad been received within a fort-night, and arrangements were thenmade to carry the calves bymotors from the various districtsFrom start to finish the South IslandDairy Association had handled the busi-ness with satisfaction. They got theirprices for the steers as they lay on thefloor of the freezing works. They hadtenders for the skins from Auckland toBluff, and they sold flie skins at 7seach. Out of 19,346 skins treated therewere very few graded as second quality.The calves were sold through the NewZealand Producers’ Association, but theydid notknow more about the selling thanthey in Southland had known at firstof the treating of the carcasses. Stillthey had got highest prices for the car-casses of any place in New Zealand.The result of the Southland experienceshowed that Otago and Canterbury couldprofitably take up the industry. Thecommittee was firmly convinced that thefarmers -must go on co-operative lines ifthey were to get out of the industry allthey were entitled to get. It would bedisastrous to let it out of their handsand to accept a flat rate. It was verygratifying to know that the calves wereconsidered in England to be of a betterclass than that from any other part ofthe Empire. There no vested interestssurrounded the business, and they shouldstick to it. If they lost control theywould not get all that was in the busi-ness. Let them have only one seller in-stead of as in the butter and cheese in-dustry—soo sellers and only 20 buyers.It was stated to him that the skins wouldhave been worth 4s 3d the previous sea-son, but they had got 7s, so they wouldsee the great advance in the aggregatethey had received. Of the £14,860 re-ceived for their calves the owners hadalready had ss, or £4836, and they hada surplus on hand of £3868. Thatreturned net to the calf owners 9s perhead. The South Island Dairy Associa-tion was paid Is per head for its work.The distribution of the wealth from thesale was actually 14s per head, as againstthe estimated 4s 3d of the previous year.They submitted that the industry had adirect bearing on the economic pros-perity of the southern province. TheFrozen Meat Company had found workin handling the calves during a slackperiod, £3OOO being given to the com-pany, and the others engaged in the in-dustry had also profited. They did nothave a shilling to start with, but theSouth Island Dairy Association had con-trolled the finance. There really wasno financial responsibility that would in-volve anybody.

•The speaker continued that there hadbeen one fly only in the ointment. Thelocal press had reported fully the dis-cussion on the proposed scheme at thelast annual meeting, and they were in-debted to it. But in other papers everyallusion to it had been of a derogatorynature, and some of the statements hadbeen scurrilous and an insult to the in-telligence of the dairy farmer, and adirect libel on the veterinary sectionresponsible for the supervision of thematerial before it was shipped. Al-together, the statements were not inkeeping with the press of this country.How it had been inspired he did ontknow, nor who was responsible. Someof the stuff sent to the Home paperswas absolutely unworthy of the papersresponsible for transmitting it. Theyhad no hesitation in claiming that themeat was well inspected, and the de-partment at this end was tightening upthe inspection, and rightly so. They in-tended to keep the quality of the meatas high as possible. On fhe success ofthe industry was going to depend themanufacture of rennet in this country.It was going to solve the difficulties ofthe Rennet Company in regard to thematerial it required. He ventured tosay that in two years there would notbe a keg of foreign rennet brought intothe country—(“Hear, hear”)—and thatin five years they would be able to supplythe whole of Australasia. He com-mended the industry to Otago and Can-terbury, and said it was going to add totheir industry generally.— (Applause.)

Mr S. J. Smith (Canterbury) secondedthe motion. He said that if Canterburydid noa accept the scheme it would bevery foolish.

Mr Fisher said it was a recommenda-tion from the committee that the direc-tors of companies might make some re-cognition of their managers and staffs.

Mr Muir (Tuturau) said that theyshould treat the calves well before theywere killed. He said that the calvesshould have plenty of room when beingtransported to the freezing works. Hethought it was a splendid scheme. Itwould not be long before the Canterburypeople would be getting the Southlandbrand on their calves.— (Laughter.)

A Delegate said his company alwayssaw that the calves were properly trans-ported.

In answer to a question, Mr J. S.Grieve stated that 1033 calves had beenrejected, but that producers had got 9sper head for these calves, as they alsoparticipated in the pool.

The motion for the adoption of the re-port was ccrried.

The Calf Committee—Messrs JohnFisher (chairman). C. R. Foster, W.Hamilton, J. S. Grieve, T. R. Eades, G.R. Herron, and H. J. Middleton—was re-appointed.

INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE.Mr Fisher gave a brief account of the

National Industrial Conference. As ithad taken 70 men four weeks to getthrough the business, they could under-stand, he said, that he could only give

! them a short review. The speaker re-I viewed the proceedings at the conference,and said that the two committees whichhad been set up had come to decisions oncertain important matters, but that therehad been a distinct cleavage regardingthe Industrial Conciliation and Arbitra-tion Act. It had been made clear, how-

| ever, that no alterations would be madein the Act, so far as it affected their in-dustry.

Mr A. Moore moved a very hearty voteof thanks to Mr Fisher for_ his report,the motion being carried with acclama-tion.

DAYLIGHT SAYING BILL.Mr D. Rutledge moved the following

motion on behalf of the Dairy Farmers’Federation:—“That, having had a sea-son’s experence of the Daylight SavingAct, we are convinced that not only isthe principle wrong, but it is inapplicableto our conditions and opposed to the well-being of the people of the Dominion.We, therefore, unanimously desire to im-press upon the .Government and Legisla-ture our unfaltering opposition to a re-newal or extension of the Act.” Themover said that there had been no reasongiven them why the scheme should beimposed. He would content himself withmoving the motion.

Mr C. R. Smith said the towns wereagainst them, and they formed 59 percent, of the people. They must notslacken their efforts, and they must seethat their members of Parliament werekept up to scratch.

Mr Haskell, a West Coast farmer, saidthat daylight saving was applicable todairy farming in certain cases. Hethought there shouhi be an alternativeproposal, and he suggested that thereshould be a clause under which the dairyfarmers could work under their existinghours, and the town people should putthe clock on.

Mr Rutledge said he was a town man.There was no reason why the town peoplecould not start an hour earlier if theywanted to, and close up an hour earlier.In the country mothers complained thatthey could not get their children to-sleep.-—(“Hear, hear.”) He thought theirpoliticians had not taken the matterseriously, and that they did not realisewhat it meant to the people in the coun-try to have to start an hour earlier. InEngland the tpains were not changed inthe time of running, and he did not seewhy the railway time should be changedhere. He could not see that anythinghad been put forward in favour of theproposal.

The motion was then put and carriedunanimously.

OFFICIAL RETURNS.Mr B. Hughes moved as follows, on

behalf of the Milford Cooperative DairyCompany:—“That, as the multiplicity ofofficial returns and forms now required tobe furnished is proving a burden to thedairy industry, representations be madeto the Prime Minister, asking him toadvise the various Government depart-ments to show more consideration in thismatter.” The speaker said that therewas a lot of unnecessary work in connec-tion with these returns. He thoughtthey had to furnish in all about 20 re-turns. In some cases it meant the em-ployment of a special clerk to fill in thepapers.

Mr C. Harrison seconded the motion.Mr Rutledge said he had previously

brought up this matter. The figuresasked for by the department were inmany cases useless. The statistical de-partment was prepared to take estimates,not real figures, and these should notcarry the weight that was attached tothem.

The motion was carried unanimously.RESEARCH LABORATORY.

Mr W. Bryant moved the followingmotion, on behalf of the executive:—“That the time is opportuhe for estab-lishing a research laboratory in the SouthIsland.” The Mover said they were doinggood work in, Hawera with research, andit was necessary that if they wanted tokeep up with the North Island theyshould have some means of doing researchwork on behalf of the industry. Theyshould decide first where they shouldestablish a laboratory, whether in Inver-cargill or Dunedin. They wanted to knowalso the cost. They only wanted a smallsub-station to do the local work, leavingthe big work to the Massey College. The

•cost, according to the Hawera people, forthe instruments, would be about £6OO, anda scientist, Dr Marsden had told him,

' would require about £650. Dr Marsdenhad said he had two scientists who mightbe prepared to take over the work. liethought they should set up a laboratoryhere and work in with Lincoln College,and they could do the Invercargill workwith the technical college.

Mr A. Moore seconded the motion.Mr P. O. Veale, scientist to the Federa-

tion of Taranaki Co-operative Dairy Fac-tories, said they had already evolvedscientific methods in the manufacture ofbutter and cheese in New Zealand, buthe thought it was time for an extension.There was a great difference between pureresearch and applied search, and hethought applied research was going tobe of the greater value to them in themeantime. Pure research was concernedwith the life history of, say, a particulartaint, and haying found out the natureof the organism, the applied researchwould be devoted to finding some remedyfor the trouble it was causing. Hethought there was a wide sphere for ap-plied research in the dairy industry inNew Zealand. There was a tremendousfund of information which could be ap-plied to the industry, and he thought theyshould utilise this information first. Theestablishment of a laboratory in the SouthIsland would therefore be of great value.Many problems were cropping up in thedairy industry. Take, for instance, themilk. Little was known in many casesof the bacteriological and chemical stateof the raw material as it came into thefactory, and here a laboratory could doeffective work. The microscope was likelyto solve a number of what he might callunsolvable problems, as through it theycould pick out the sheep from the goats.Non-acid milk had brought forward majiytheories as to its cause, but they hadproved that it was a germ disease andthat it could be eliminated. The speakerreferred to what had been done in Taranakito combat non-acid milk. A laboratorywould also be of value in the supply ofpure starter cultures, and the quality ofthe produce would be raised. The labora-tory, indeed, could be utilised to improvemost of the articles required in the dairyindustry, including parchment and salt.The laboratory would also help managersin the day-to-day problems. The agricul-tural colleges would have as the first partof their business pure research, but theyhad to have their scientific facilities rightat hand to apply the information received.There was the reason why the laboratoriesshould be in the heart of the industryitself. Their organisation in Taranakihad without doubt helped to educate theirdairy farmers. Competition and increasedproduction, from other countries necessi-tated that they should advance with thetimes. The speaker referred to manyother ways in which a laboratory couldbe of use to the farmers. It had beensaid by one man that the time was notopportune to establish a research labora-tory because their overhead charges werehigh enough at present, but he maintainedthat the returns would be higher thanbefore. A laboratory would more thanpay for itself by the elimination of wasteand the improvement of their quality oftheir produce. They would have to takethe first step themselves, and he believedthe Government would subsidise a labora-tory. Such a laboratory would not inter-fere with the Massey College or the De-partment of Scientific Research.

Mr C. R. Smith said he had been aschool teacher, an agricultural instructor,and a farmer. In Taranaki the dairyfarms were close together, but in Otagothey were widely separated. Southlandmost nearly approached the conditionsof Taranaki. If they put the laboratoryin Southland it would be a long way fromthe other provinces in the South Island.That was one of the difficulties.

Mr Wallace (Stirling) said he was notopposing the laboratory, but he said theywere going to have another charge onthem. He asked if they could not getassistance from the universities and col-leges.

Mr Muir wanted to know if the grad-ing in Taranaki was higher than theirsin the South Island.

Mr Veale replied that they had cer-tain natural advantages in the SouthIsland, in the quality of the raw supply.In Taranaki, however, the, dairy condi-tions had improved in the vicinity ofthe laboratory. If they were gradinghigh down here it was possible for them

to grade higher. If they thought thatthe laboratory was not going to do themany good, by all means they should notvote for it, until they were better edu-cated.— (Loud laughter.)

A delegate said he believed that if theypaid for milk on quality it would have asgood an effect as the establishment of alaboratory.

Mr Rutledge said it was a matter ofpounds, shilings, and pence. _ He fanciedthe research would be a paying proposi-tion. They held in his factory that theirinstructor paid. The revenue in South-land from butter and cheese came to£1,000,031. and the cost of a laboratoryagainst that would be very small.

Mr Bryant said there was no doubt theOtago University could help them, butthey would have to establish the labora-tory. The laboratory,he was sure, wouldpay for itself. He knew they wouldget assistance from the Council of Re-search, but they must take the first stepthemselves.

Mr Moore said that they were alwaysfaced with the question of cost. He re-membered when the late Mr M'Nab in-troduced the Bill calling on them to con-crete their byres—it cost him his seat.Now they all raised their hats to M'Nabfor what he had done.— (‘‘Hear, hear.”)

Mr Veale, in replying, said that threeyears ago their federationhad started thelaboratory, and 19 companies had signedan agreement under which they were tobe levied up to a maximum of 2d per1001 b on their previous year’s output. Thecheese producers were willing to be leviedup to Is 6cl per ton, and that was raisedin one year out of the three. An agree-ment had now been signed for anotherperiod of three years, and the 19 com-panies had again signed, and the number,indeed, had been increased to 28 com-panies.

The motion was carried with a few dis-sentient voices.

On the motion of the Chairman a heartyvote of thanks was passed to Mr Vealefor his address.

SPIRIT OF CO-OPERATION.Mr Rutledge moved as follows on be-

half of the Farmers’ Dairy Federation; —

"That the spirit of co-operation beingone of mutual assistance and helpfulness,this conference of the South Island DairyAssociation hereby acknowledges that itis to the observance of this spirit in ourdairy factories that we owe our presentmeasure of success. We therefore lookupon any deviation from the true co-operative spirit as inimical to the bestinterests of the dairyman, and we herebyaffirm that in order to move still furtheralong the road to success, it is essentialthat contiguous co-operative companies orsocieties should adhere to the co-operativeprinciple by refraining from competitiveoperations in territory outside a naturalor agreed limit, and that such competi-tive efforts outside bounds can only beproductive of friction within the co-operative ranks, and the expenditure oflarge sums unnecessarily taken out ofrevenue that ■would otherwise go to in-crease our returns."

Mr Rutledge said this was peace pro-paganda. The word co-operation meantbrotherhood or fellow-ship, and when thecompetitive clement was allowed to enterit w-ould destroy the aims of co-operation.The competition between the butter fac-tories in the cities was the cause of muchloss to the producers. In Southland theywere born and bred in the midst of com-petition, w-hich was of benefit to no oneconcerned, costing a lot of money and re-tarding success. The cost was not borneby the individuals responsible for thecompetition, but by the producers. Theycould not afford to lose the money in-volved in extra employees, motor lorries,and all the other paraphernalia necessary.Competition was at a discount to-dayamongst the leaders of the business com-munity. The modern business man andthe successful business man had entirelyeliminated the idea of competition. Theyhad had a merger in Southland as a re-sult of which five lorries had been cutout, at a saving of £4OOO a year. Therehad also been a saving in the matter ofstaffs. They had to impress on the manon the farm that the cream can and themilk can had to pay the expense, andthey must endeavour to cut down thecosts that were put upon him. He hopedthe dairymen w-ould put a step to theinsidious process of cutting into theirrevenue by competition.

Mr Coster said the remarks w-hich ap-plied to butter factories also applied tocheese factories. Sometimes a few sup-pliers left a factory after a contract hadbeen made at the beginning of a season,with the result that the factory w-as un-able to fulfil its contracts. He hoped sup-pliers w-ould be impressed by the import-ance of keeping to their own factory.

Mr John Fisher expressed the opinionthat it would be a good proposition toset up a committee representing the com-panies concerned with the object of de-vising means to improve the position.There should be one supplier on the coi*-mittee. He believed that such a commit-tee would solve many problems in con-nection with collection and distribution.

Mr W. M. Singleton stated that statis-tics show-ed that the costs resulting fromoverlapping amiunted to about £35,000throughout the Dominion. He would liketo see something done to reduce the costof collection. Numerous instances couldbe quoted to show dairymen that theywere paying quite a lot for servicesw-hich should be remodelled.

Mr Muir also supported the motion.He said that when one factory sold at aslighter higher figure there w-as a ten-dency for some suppliers to transfer to itfrom another factory.

Mr C. R. Smith supported Mr Fisher’ssuggestion that a committee should be setup to go into the question during theyear.

Another member said that the presentsystem must result in expense that shouldbe avoided, and it w-ould be a good ideafor a committee to confer with the peopleinterested and see if an improvementcould not be brought about.

Mr M'Auley said that the co-operativecompanies were responsible for putting onlorries to compete _ with the proprietarycompanies. His idea of the solutionwas that one carrying firm should be en-gaged to do all the carting.

Mr Rutledge, in reply, said the objectof the co-operative companies was to getin and get the profits for co-operationthat were at present going into privatepockets.

The motion w-as carried without dis-sent.

The proposal to set up a committee wasapproved.

Mr Fisher moved that the associationshould take over the question of callinga conference, and, that the Southland,Otago, South Canterbury, and CanterburyButter Makers’ Federation be asked tonominate representatives to attend the'conference, each organisation to be repre-sented by one producer, and one repre-sentative of the association to watch theproceedings.

The motion w-as seconded by Mr Rut-ledge.

Mr J. S. Smith said he would bring thematter before his association in Canter-bury, but he thought it was a hopelesstask. The matter really rested with thedairymen themselves. His company hadexperienced trouble of this kind, andwas still experiencing it. In South Can-terbury factories w-hich should not Havebeen put up had been erected, and thequestion was w-hat w-as to become of it?He ventured to say that if three or fournew factories were started in Canterburyto-morrow some suppliers would supportthem.

The Chairman: I presume the butterpeople will pay the cost of this.

Mr Rutledge: You stated this morningthat the cheese people were getting 3dor 4d per lb more than the butter people.So I think the cheese people should pay.

(Laughter.)The Chairman: I have no objection to

the cheese people paying, so long as youdo not land it on to us.

Mr Rutledge stated that the butter mengenerally met in Timaru in August. Per-haps the matter could be discussed atthat meeting.

Mr Stanfland stated that in Timaruthey had an agreement for the eliminationof unnecessary canvassing after a certaintime of the season. He thought thequestion of competition in the matter ofcollection could be left to the variousassociations to deal with.

Another Speaker suggested that a con-ference should be held in Southland withthe object of arriving at a settlement.

Mr Fisher said he was agreeable toleave the matter to the conference inTimaru to decide on further action, andthis course was adopted.SMITHFIELD RAILWAY STATION.Mr B. Hughes moved as follows:

“That, ow-ing to there being no stationmaster at Smithficld Railw-ay Station,and the consequent risk of loss entailed,when produce for shipment is railed fromthat station, it be a recommendation tothe directorate of this association, asagents for the Control Board, to pressfor the employment of a tally clerk toprotect the interests of the factories.”

Mr Hughes stated that occasionally

owing to the diversion of a steamer, |cheese had to be railed to Lyttelton, m- ;stead of to Timaru. Recently two cratesof cheese were lost, and no one knew whathad become of it.

The motion was seconded by Mr Stani-land (Terauka).

Mr T. C. Brash suggested that the diffi-culty could be solved by adopting asystem of locking or sealing the trucksat the commencement of the journey.

Mr Hughes agreed that Mr Brash’ssuggestion was a good one, and he wasquite agreeable to withdraw the remit.

Mr G. Greig (railway commercialagent) said that the suggestion of lock-ing or sealing was quite practicable, andhe would be pleased to discuss the matterwith Mr Hughes later on.

The remit was withdrawn.FARM DAIRY INSTRUCTION.

The following remit was forwarded bythe Farmers’ Dairy Federation, on behalfof which Mr Rutledge moved its adop-tion:—“ That in view of the resolutionspassed at several North Island meetingsrequesting that farm dairy instruction beplaced on a Dominion basis, this meetingrecords its sympathy with the suggestion,and requests the dairy division f°. bringthe matter before South Island dairymenduring the forthcoming season, so thatthey may be more conversant with thefacts respecting this service for the im-provement in quality of our dairy pro-duce.” The Mover said they had hadconsiderable amount of experience of thework of the instructors, who could doan enormous amount of good. They hadnot got the knowledge that the depart-ment could impart to its officers. Thepoint was that they were educating thebutter suppliers who would submit tothe education, and that the same systemwould also assist their cheesemakers.

Mr H. H. Meredith (Waimate) saidthat his factory had a Government in-structor, who did his level best to showthe farmer where his cream or milk wasfailing. The results at the factoryhad been very satisfactory indeed. Theaverage test of 29 per cent, for creamhad been increased to 35, and now Waswell up to 39. The farmers were realis-ing the great value of the instructor.

Mr W. M. Singleton, director of thedairy division, said he appreciated thewording of the remit. Most of the farminstruction work had been done in theNorth Island, and the South Island wasnot so conversant with the systemadopted. The representatives of theSouth Island cheese factories shouldrealise that there was nothing in theGovernment system to fear, and at thenext meeting he hoped they would beable to vote for a Dominion basis of farminstruction. The instruction was invogue in several places in the NorthIsland, the department and the factoriesbearing the cost. Certainly, in one ortwo instances a bigger factory had takenoff the instructor, and as a consequencethe smaller factories in the group hadhad to drop out. They had some data ofthe work of their dairy farm instructors.The speaker showed a graph which wentto prove that after the dairy farm in-struction had been carried on the per-centage of good and fair milk had beenraised, and the percentage of bad milkhad been reduced. They had about 45,000separators in the Dominion, and about17,000 milking machines, and they foundthat some time or other little fault mightoccur in the machines. These faults werecorrected by their instructors. The Gov-ernment farm dairy instruction had beenin operation since 1912. 1 The cost on aDominion basis would, he thought, be lessthan under the present arrangement. TheDominion basis, moreover, would includeevery milk supplier. The principal directcost to the farmer would be simply theproviding of hot water. They did not askall milking sheds, and so on, to keep rightup to the standards by the regulations,but they wanted a good check on the manwho did not supply clean milk. It wouldbe of great value to the Dairy ProduceBoard if they could state that all theirdairies were under supervision. Farmdairy instruction work was certainly inthe interests of the industry. The cost,ho held, was merely an insurance pre-mium.

After Mr Singleton had answered somequestions the motion was put and car-ried.

ADJOURNMENT.Shortly after 6 p.m. it was decided to

adjourn the conference till 9 o’clock thismorning.

THE HONEY INDUSTRY.

RESULTS OF PRESENT CONTROL

ADDRESS TO CHAMBER OFCOMMERCE.

A criticism of the administration ofthe New Zealand Co-operative Honey Pro-ducers’ Association was delivered by MrJ. Murdoch (Westland) at a meetingof the Dunedin Chamber of Commerceyesterday. He condemned the presentcontrol of exportation, and appealed tothe chamber for its support in an en-deavour to have the position investi-gated.

Mr Murdoch said that the recentreport ita the Imperial EconomicCommittee appeared to be inspired,and the writer had joined the ranksof the mutual admiration society ofthe Honey Export Control Board. Limitedcontrol w-as voted into force on November6, 1924, but the board had since assumedabsolute control, and unless the exportof honey went to Messrs A. J. Mills andCo., London, who were appointed soledistributors of New Zealand honey, theNew Zealand board refused to allow- anyproducer to ship his honey out of NewZealand. It w-as admitted that theHoney Producers Association was runningthe control board, and that producerswho wished to ship to any other firmthan A. J. Mills received a blankrefusal.

He ventured to say that an averageof less than 25 tons a year was shippedduring the seasons 1925, 1926, and 1927by the Honey Control Board, and didnot go through the Honey Producers’Association. Did such a small amountwarrant the expense of maintaining aHoney Control Board ? He thought thatmany of the smaller honey producerswould say “ no.” The tendency foryears past at the annual beekeepers’ con-ference had been for the large beekeeperspresent to say that they did not want theside liner, that was, the man who startedin a small way. By pushing out thesmall man beekeeper with 200 to400 colonies would have the market tohimself, w-hich would mean an increasedprice for the consumer. The report saidnothing about the price obtained by thebeekeeper in New Zealand for his honeynor did it say that if the producers wereagain asked to vote for or against controlthe probabilites were that the majorityof small men wonld vote against anyform of honey control. Several NewZealand firms had offered to market NewrZealand honey for per cent., so whythe expense of paying members of theboard big sums to go Home on honeybusiness T This is what raised the averagecost of marketing a cane of honey from9s lOd before control to 21s 7d per casesince control. The excuse given by theboard for shipping all the honey toMessrs A. J. Mills was that they didnot want New Zealand honey to get intothe hands of unscrupulous vendors, andto prohibit the export of honey below acertain standard.

Mr Murdoch added that honey w-hichbrought the producers in New- Zealand

to 5d a lb was sold in London forIs 3d up to Is 9d a lb. He producedthe balance sheet of the New Zealand Co-operative Honey Producers’ Associationfor the year ended December 31. i927,and referred to a liability of £38,652 14slid owing to A. J. Mills and Co., Ltd.,London. He pointed out that the officefurniture and fittings in the Aucklandoffice of the association were set downin the assets at £1025 2s 7d. After fouryears the balance sheet showed a lossof £16,867 3s Sd from the profit and lossaccount.

After a short discussion in committeethe meeting decided to act in the matter,and the President (M J. Taylor) assumedMr Murdoch of the chamber’s sav ork

DUNEDIN JOCKEY CLUB.

WINTER MEETING CONCLUDED

BLACK MINT AGAIN SUCCESSFUL.

The Dunedin Jockey Club had thegreat good luck to experience veryfavourable weather for its winter meet-ing, and so presented an attractive pro-gramme in auspicious circumstances. Theattendance on the final day was verysatisfactory, but, of course, not so largeas one would like to see filling the en-closures. The track conditions were againsticky and holding, and seemed to anchorsome of the runners. It may be re-marked in passing that a heavy top-dress-ing of sand or silt would help to killthe clayey nature of the going, and sohelp to make the form more reliable. Theracing was again very interesting, andfew winners could be discovered at anygreat distance from the post.

Black Mint seemed a shade lucky tobeat Booster in the King George Handi-cap, in which Royal Game showed im-proved form, but excuse has to be putforward for those outside a place. Thechief sprint race provided a close battle,and the cross-country races were par-ticularly interesting from start to finish.Kaikahu looked a tairly good bet in theGreenfield Hurdles, but Scion proved toogood for him at the weights. From asporting point of view, the meeting wasmost enjoyable from start to finish. Themajority of the winners were difficult tolocate, and the fact must stand at a greattribute to the excellent manner in whichMr C. E. Hassall balanced the formthroughout the programme. The start-ing left little or nothing to be desired,as every field got away from a fair line;but Mr MTvor should adopt the northernpractice of lining the field up to thebarrier when the signal indicates thatthe betting has ceased. That, however,is a side issue and a question of time-saving rather than of the merit of thestarting, which really left very little tobe desired. The management ran accord-ing to the usual demands of up-to-daterequirements, and when the curtain wasrung down on the Farewell Handicap itwould be difficult to find anyone whowould dispute the claim that the meetingranked second to none ever held on thecourse.

Kaikahu was withdrawn from theTaieri Handicap, in which Strathnaverbecame a good favourite. When the fieldgot going. Puff took charge and practically■won all the way. She ra» along in frontand proved the only one ip. che field cap-able of running out the distance. Quick-form stayed on best of the others, and astrung-out field at the finish suggestedthat the race caters for a non-existantliiick stsycr.

All on the card went out for the KingGeorge Handicap. Chickwheat startedfavourite, with Booster a little better sup-ported than King Balboa. Royal Gamesoon took charge of the field and carriedon the running to the far turn fromMalmsey, Chickwheat, and Booster. Taboo,Zaragoza, and Overdrawn were all bandy.Royal Game led up the rise, and beforereaching the home turn Black Mint raninto second place from Chickwheat, Taboo,and Booster. Black Mint raced to thefront at the distance, where Booster com-menced a final run. Booster just failedto reach Black Mint, who beat him by anose. Royal Game was a short lengthaway, and then came Malmsley, Winga-tui, Zaragoza, and "Taboo. Over-drawn began well, but gradually driftedback. King Balboa never look—l danger-ous, and Chickwheat ran anotner faint-hearted race. It appeared as if Booster’sfinal effort was just a shade delayed, andan earlier call would have made him awinner, as he was making a strong runat the finish.

Kaikahu started a good favourite forthe GreenfieldHurdles, and carried nearlytwice as much money as Scion, who wasnext in demand. Hard Prince and Coast-.guard were about evenly backed. Scionat once set the pace and carried onstrongly. Kaikahu was going well whenracing along the back, but- Scion was too-good at the weights and beat him wellby two lengths. Guncase ran past BardPrince to head him off for third place.Bonatic and Royal Land, after being wellup in the early stages, faded out, andCoastguard, after bitting the secondhurdle, tailed the field and finished welloutside a place.

Ronaki soon drew to the front in tneEmpire Handicap, and had Royal Saxon,Tip Tree, Money Mine, and Antrim Boyclose up, Ronaki led into the straight,where Miss Winkie came -with a strongrun and got up in time to pip Ronaki onthe post. Antrim Boy was close up third,but the judge awarded the position toRoyal Saxon. Carnot and Money Minewere next, in front of Royal Saxon. Asimiliarity in colours was responsible formistaking Royal Saxon for Antrim Boy.

Greenstone started favourite for theDunedin Steeplechase, and held a goodwinning chance when he slipped and fellwhen gong to the first fence of the secondcircuit. At this stage the field ran inclose order, but at the first of the doublesin the back stretch, Captain Sarto hookedthe first jump and lost about 20 lengths.Royal Fashion was forcing the pace, butafter leading over the water jump TheBabe joined him. They came togetherover the final obstacle, and in the runhome The Babe stayed on best and beatRoyal Fashion by three lengths. Ranuifinished a fair third, and judging bythe ground Captain Sarto made up afterhis mistake six furlongs from home, hemust have seriously troubled the winnerbar the accident. Greenstone was theunluckiest runner, as he appeared to begoing well when he slipped up on the flat.

Carinthia was first to show out in theDomain Handicap, but when the fieldsettled down Meadow Lark, Despot, Car-inthia and Tripaway were in charge.Carinthia raced to the front inside thedistance and beat Despot by nearly threelengths. Meadow Lark was about twolengths off, third, and Tripaway wasnext. After the race the Judical Com-mittee held an inquiry into Carinthiarunning across Despot about 100yds fromhome. After considering the matter, itwas decided not to disturb the judge’splacings, but Emerson was suspended forone month.

Backers found a short-priced favouritein Jovial for the Tahuna Steeples, and•were prepared to back him down to lessthan level money. The confidence wasjustified as Jovial set the pace all theway and increased his lead as the journeyprogressed. Soldier’s Dream jumpedbadly, and so settled his chance. De-cision ran into second place going alongthe back, but at the end his wind in-firmity took effect and he commenced tostop. Captain Sarto fell at the lastfence, when holding a chance of gettingsecond. Ramanawhiri outstayed Mes-sage Boy in the run home, and beat himfor second place.

As usual in the final event of a meet-ing the punters were chasing after divi-ders, but when business closed down onthe Farewell Handicap Nincompoop fin-ished a better favourite than Rotor. Thefield gave a lot of trouble in lining atthe barrier, and when they finally startedon the way Miss Winkie was hopelesslyleft. Lucy Locket soon became promin-ent with the early division includingFairy Herald, Apple Dighton, Rotor andNincompoop. When they went up to-wards the home turn Lucy Locket was incharge from Money Mine, and then Rotorarrived on the scene. The field closedup at the turn, and at the distance GoldMint, on the outside, and Antrim Boyon the rails, put in a claim. A goodfinish home saw Gold Mint score by ashort neck from Rotor, who beat AntrimBoy by a neck. Lucy Locket finisheda head away, fourth. Nincompoop, FairyHerald and Queen Balboa finished in abunch behind the placed lot. Overhaulagain ran a disappointing rafce, andMonev Mine found two races too severea task, as he faded out after lookinga possible winner at the home turn.

NOTES ON THE RACING.(Special to Daily Times.)

AUCKLAND, June 6.With half the journey gone in the

Tamaki Steeplechase, Lady Cintra, whowas only mildly fancied, nearly lost herrider at the stone wall, but he made awonderful recovery and then she hit thefront in another three furlongs, finallyscoring convincingly by three lengths fromKamehameha, whose jumping left some-thing to be desired. Bahadur again failedto see it out, being eight lengths awaywhile Clockwork was a poor fourth.

Several horses came down in pairs inthe Orakci Hurdles, the winner turningup in Bourn, who was always handy, beingclose to Pukerimu, Highflown, and Man-gani at the home turn. Here the lead-ing pair, Pukerimu and Highflown fell,and this left Bourn to win easily by fourlengths from Mangani, whose stablematewon the first race. Ramblin’ Kid andArcheno were some distance away thirdand fourth. Waltzer, who, with LadySpalpeen, was favourite, fell at the firstjump. . ■Sir Archie was favourite in an evenpool for the York Handicap, but therewas a surprise in store, the winner turn-ing up in Corinax, wbo paid a double-figure dividend. Gay Guard got leftat thestart, Mervette and High Pitch leadingout from Nucleus, Master Doon, Manly,Captain Gazeley, and Storm. After acouple of furlongs Mervette led, soon tobe joined by Manly, with Corinax, MasterDoon, Cynthia N, and Nucleus. Turningfor the straight, Mervette and Manlywere still together, just in frontof Corinaxand Sir Archie (who ran wide), CynthiaN, Stormy, and Te Koroke. Once inline, Corinax quickly hit the front andwent on to win by a length and a-halffrom Stormy, who finished well, withThursby, Te Koroke, and Nucleus, wbowere right up in line. After them cameSir Archie, King Lu, Mervette, and Cyn-thia N.

Only a brilliant sprint saved the dayfor Glendowie’s host of backers in theWinter Steeplechase, for at the last fencehe did not appear to have a chance.Maunga was the first casualty, fallingat the hurdle after going six furlongs,With half the journey covered, Wiltshiresuperseded Beau Cavalier in the lead,attended at intervals by Comical andKawini, with Glendowie, Llewellyn,Pouri, Wedding March, and Tuki in thenext bunch. Along the back again thefield began to bunch. Beau Cavalier fellat the first fence on the hill the secondtime when lying second, where Kawini,Wiltshire, Glendowie, and Pouri were atlength intervals with Wedding Marchclosing the gap, and Comical and Tuki al-ready beaten. Kawini led to the straightclear of Wedding March, who was closelyattended by Pouri, Glendowie, and Wilt-shire. Over the last brush hurdle Ka-wini and Wedding March swerved, andGlendowie went for the gap on the innerand, vigorously ridden over the last fur-long, finally won brilliantly by nearlythree lengths from Kawini, who failedto run on. Wedding March was a lengthback, five lengths in front of Comical,who was well clear of Pouri. A longway off was Tuki. and then came Llewel-lyn and Passin’ Through.

The Campbell Hurdles was one of themost extraordinary races ever witnessedat Ellerslie, only one of the four runnerscompleting the course without mishap.Aberfeldy was an even money favourite,and with Mia Bella was rushed to thefirst fence, where both fell. This leftPeneus to gallop at three-quarter pacefor the rest of the way, with Glencannywell back. At the second last fence Glcn-canny fell, leaving Peneus to finish byhimself. Glencanny was remounted, andthen fell at the last fence; but once againhis rider got up and obtained secondmoney.

The Fox, who won the hack race on thefirst day. was sent out fourth favourite ata good price in the A'isitors’ Handicap,and he finally won well. He waited onthe leaders to the turn, those in frontbeing Billikens, Kingfield, iWliaka Kina.,

and Ballymoy 11. Half a furlong fromhome Billikens was still in the van, butThe Fox wore him down, scoring by halfa length, with Hyde Park right up thirdand Archeen a good fourth.

The final event, the Fitzroy Handicap,saw the 22 acceptors line up, and the racewas the best of good things for a warmfavourite in Marble King. _ He gotchopped out at the start, but inside thefirst furlong he ran up into third placebehind Wyoming and Crampton, and,with Wyoming led to the straight fromModest Boy, Oscar, Arikitoa, and StormFiend. The favourite then went on towin by three-quarters of a length fromModest Boy, with Oscar half a lengthaway third and Brampton, Arikitoa, andWyoming next.

Booster, at a fair handicap, would wina good race over a mile, as he stayedon well in the King George Handicap. .

Puff ran on like a stayer in the iaieriHandicap. She beat a weak field, butnevertheless gave evidence that she migntrun on in a race next season.

Mr C. E. Hassail balanced the formfor the Dunedin winter meeting in amanner that disarmed criticism. Indeed,his assessments were largely responsiblefor the success of the meeting.

Black Mint looked rather light andtucked up when he went out for the KingGeorge Handicap and he looked theweaker link in the Ballinger bracket.However, he stayed on better than hisstable mate, but even so seemed a triflelucky to beat Booster. .

Mr W. F. Parkinson purchased Kai-kahu on the eve of the concluding ofthe Dunedin winter meeting. Kaikahuran in Mr Delargey’s colours because noofficial intimation of the sale had beenrecorded prior to the race.

Bilbo ran like an over-estimated horsein his three engagements at Wingatui.

Tintoretto was galloped on in the Birth-day Handicap and in consequence didnot start again at the meeting.

Overdrawn found the race in the Birth-day Handicap a tax beyond his powers,and his form receded during the meeting.

Overhaul put up some good gallops be-fore the Dunedin winter meeting, but henever ran up to one of them.

Antrim Boy was an unlucky runneron the final day of the Wingatui meet-ing. He was overlooked in the EmpireHandicap and just missed paying a bigdividend in the Farewell Handicap.

The best races seen at the Dunedinwinter meeting were undoubtedly thecross-country events. They attracted onlysmall fields, but supplied, really goodsport from a spectacular point of viejy.

Cassells faded in the Dunedin Steeple-chase because he suffers from trouble inthe respiratory organs.

Greenstone appeared to he very un-lucky in the Dunedin Steeples as he fellon the flat when travelling well.

Royal Fashion mixes a good deal ofhis fences. , Some he jumps well and thenmakes hard work of the next.

TROTTING.June 9.--Ashburton T.C.June 23, 27.—Auckland T.C.

Invader won the Maturity Handicapat Canterbury Park by gamcncss. Hedid not seem able to go with the leadersin the first half of the race, but he cameon strongly over the last quarter of amile. He is a hold, free pacer, by Reyde Oro, and is a well-developed three-year-old.

Arran Chief is an unlucky pacer, as inthe last two efforts over short courseshe lias been beaten into second place.Arran Chief is only a sprinter.

Prior to the start of the ElevationHandicap at the Canterbury Park meet-ing. J. Bryce sold his American trottingstallion, Maxegin, to Messrs Morrison amiKelly, of Wellington. He was driven inhis- engagement by B. Jarden, who willtfain'tho horse for his new owners.

R. Townley has gained his chief suc-cesses with trotters, but he has a fewpacers in his stable, including DillonGold, with whom he won the TelegraphHandicap. Dillon Gold is a useful sort,at his best in short races, but, thoughvery reliable, he is never likely to reachthe best company.

Roi L'Or, who won the Harewood Han-dicap, is owned in the Kurow district,and is by Rey de Oro from the fast butunreliable Gold Queen. He is only afour-year-old, and looks like making agood pacer over two miles. Roi L’Or nashad a reputation for some time, and hassome useful performances to his credit.D. Withers drove him in Dunedin earlylast month, where he raced prominently.

The southern-owned pacer NihilistJunior won the Final Handicap at Can-terbury Park, a mile saddle event, butonly by a narrow margin, as he was stop-ping badly over the last 50yds, after hav-ing a lead of several lengths a furlongfrom the post. He has performed verywell lately, winning a mile race atOamaru.

Tommy Direct, who won the milesaddle event on the first day at Canter-bury Park, proved by his racing in theFinal Handicap that he has returned tohis best form. The speedy miler hasreached the veteran age, but he is alwayslikely to be troublesome in sprint events.

Great Logan, who is owned in theLauriston district and trained by O. E.Hooper, was well backed in the MaturityHandicap. He was always prominent, andwas only beaten in the last few strides.Great Logan is by Logan Pointer fromChildwood, and looks like making a reallygood horse over a distance.

Dilnon showed a lot of speed in theMaturity Handicap. He did not go outwell, but he was not long in getting tothe front. Dilnon, who is owned by W.Warren, the well-known trainer, will re-quire to get some more stamina beforehe nan be expected to have any chance ina race.

Petroleuse paid a good dividend whenshe won the Elevation Handicap. She isa Peter eta mare, purchased by her pre-sent owner. Mr G. M'Millan, of Auck-land, from Mr J. R. Corrigan at a goodfigure. Since going into R. B. Berry’sstable, she has not raced well, but in thisevent she showed her best form. Sheshould now go on to further successes.Petroleuse has a good way of doing herwork, and she is possessed of plenty ofstamina.

Great Triumph, -who was made fav-ourite for the Final Handicap, went offsmartly, but broke before going a fur-long, and soon he was at the tail of thefield. It was setting the three-year-old abig task to race against matured pacers,but he will develop into a useful horse.

MOTOR AND SPEED BOATS.

NOTABLE REVIVAL IN SPORT.

There is every indication that a greatrevival in boating in Otago Harbour < willtake place early next season. Inquiriesmade amongst numerous owners and pros-pective owners of pleasure craft showthat quite a number of men, who retiredfrom the sport several seasons ago andpurchased motor cars, intend_ again tospend their week-ends afloat instead ofon wheels. There is a general belief thatsome of the men who formerly ownedpleasure boats and who disposed of themto take up motoring are tiring of thatkind of sport, and are now anxious toreturn to the pleasure afforded by cruis-ing afloat. Judging by the enthusiasmshown in many quarters and the numberof marine motor boat engines already im-ported and ordered from abroad, at leastsix new fast speed boats will be seen onthe harbour next season. Of course, itwill be necessary to procure the righttype of hull to accommodate these engines,and already arrangements have been madefor the building of these. The hulls willbe built during the next two or threemonths, so that all the new speed boatsshould be ready for the water when theboating season opens.

One prospective local boat .owner isimporting a 250 h.p. engine, which is ex-pected to reach Dunedin in a few weeks’time. This engine will be installed in ahull which is expected to have a speedof between 50 and 60 miles an hour. Ahigh-powered engine is being imported byMr W. Sell to be installed in his speedboat Mystery. It is expected that thisengine will increase Mystery’s speed con-siderably.

It is understood that another local en-thusiast intends to build a boat to bepowered with an engine which will de-velop a speed of between 45 and 50 milesan hour.

It is also stated that still another en-thusiast has just imported an exception-ally high-powered engine, at a cost ofseveral hundred pounds. Arrangementsarebeing made to build a suitable hull toaccommodate this engine.

There are other well-known boatingmen who have not been on the active listfor a season or two, but who are nowconsidering the type, of boat they desire,as it is their intention to return to thewater next season. The revival in theaquatic world will be welcomed on allsides, and the enthusiasm shown clearlyindicates that the sport is not waning inOtago Harbour.

MOTOR SHIP MAUI POMARE.An interesting arrival at Wellington on

Saturday was the Maul Pomare, the steameracquired by the New Zealand Government forthe Island fruit trade. Her maiden voyageto New Zealand was made in two stages, thefirst from Liverpool and Southampton to Apia,Samoa, where she discharged her Home cargo,and the second from Apia to Wellington, viaNiue Island. Having discharged at Apia,the Maui Pomare loaded bananas, and thenleft for Niue, where she received a furtherconsignment of bananas and a quantity ofcopra. About 200 tons of bananas havebeen discharged at Wellington, while the coprawill be unloaded at Auckland. The MaulPomare left Dublin on February 29 for Liver-pool and Southampton, where she shipped over700 tons of general cargo for Samoa. Shesailed from Southampton on March 21, andencountered a westerly gale wth high seas.After four days at sea the weather clearedand remained favourable until about May 30,when moderate to heavy seas slightly delayedthe vessel’s arrival at Wellington. Duringthe whole of the voyage, the Maui Pomareproved a seaworthy vessel, and the absenceof vibration from her powerful oil enginesmade her extremely comfortable. The aver-age speed of the vessel from England to NewZealand was 10 knots.

THE OTAGODAILY TIMESTHURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1928.

THE AUSTRALIAN SHIPPINGDISPUTE.

The definite hopes that were held outlast week of a termination of theshipping trouble in Australia, whichhad its origin,three months ago in thecooks’ galley of the Ulimaroa, are notto bo immediately realised. The latestintimation is to the effect that thestrike is being extended through thecooks on all the Australian coastalsteamers being called upon to re-linquish their employments. This isregrettable, but it seems probablethat the union, realising that byits own recklessness it has placeditself in an untenable position, isonly making a desperate last effort tostave off capitulation. The beginningof the trouble was trivial enough—aquestion whether an extra band should

or should not be engaged on theUlimaroa—but, as in other instancestoo numerous to be recalled, from asmall beginning developed serious andfar-reaching consequences. The inter-state shipowners, refusing to becoerced, adopted a firm stand. Theywere determined to secure, if possible,the abolition of the “ job control "whichthe maritime unions have been exertingthemselves to establish at the cost ofan extraordinary amount of shippingdislocation in recent years. The ship-owners, therefore, adopted the plan oflaying up ship after ship rather thanaccede to the demands of the MarineCooks’ Union. The result has beenthat nearly thirty vessels have beenrendered idle up to the present forlonger or shorter periods. The lossesincurred by the shipping companies todate must run into very large figures,while the cost of the interference withshipping and employment will be con-siderably heavier. The loss of wagesto the many thousands of men whohave been thrown out of work mustalso be very serious, probably amount-ing to £50,000. These losses can,of course, never be made good.They merely serve to illustrate theserious economic results that arebrought about by those responsible forthe rash precipitation of a trial ofstrength between employees and em-ployers. The officials of the MarineCooks’ Union showed a deplorable lackof any sense of responsibility in startinga strike without the slightest regard forpossible consequences and withouttaking any trouble to consult theofficials of other maritime organisations,of whose members large numbers werebound to be affected by a dislocation otcoastal shipping activities. By theiraction they aroused a good deal of re-sentment, and the efforts of their unionto induce other unions to make commoncause with it have failed. The union’srefusal to permit the Council of TradeUnions to act as mediator was in keep-ing with its general behaviour. Itsofficials cannot be very well satisfiedwith the outcome. They now refuse toagree to terms which they say wouldmean “ abject surrender," but it maybe regarded as doubtful whether thetactics they are pursuing will have anyother result. If, when a settlementcomes, it should possess elementsmore calculated to make for per-manence than has been the casewith so many other agreements thatwere patched up in respect of shippingdisputes, that is likely to bo due tothe uncompromising and even drasticmeasures adopted by the shipownerswith a view to determining an intoler-able position.

The institution of farmers’ excursionsby the Railways Department is servinga useful purpose and is receiving a

measure of support that warrants con-

sideration of the. question whether theinnovation is not one that may beprofitably extended. The president ofthe Otago Provincial Council of theFarmers’ Union, while approving ofthe principle that is being applied bythe Railways Department, expressed afear on Tuesday lest the system mightnot become too cumbersome andunwieldy, chiefly because the excursionswere not more strictly limited to thesections of the community for whichthey ,are arranged. It will be tor thedepartment, however, to cope with anydifficulty that may be created from thiscause. It may be surmised that thepopularisation of tho system is thefirst aim of the railway authorities. Bofar they have been reasonably success-ful. The conveyance of a large partyfrom the West Coast to Dunedin thisweek probably constitutes the mostimportant achievement they have yetperformed. The department has con-ducted excursions of larger parties offarmers, but the problem of transportwas more serious on this occasion thanon any other, and it was ovetemw ina highly creditable manner. WhenMr D. M. Reid referred to the needfor the organisation of these excursionsand to the trouble that is presentedin the provision of accommodation forlarge parties he may be assumed tohave had in mind the difficulty whichnumbers of a party of Canterburyfarmers experienced a few months agoin securing accommodation in Invercar-g’ill. The wise traveller, of course,makes his own provision for accom-modation. He is all the more carefulto do so because he knows that thehotel accommodation in most of thecentres of population in New Zealandis not sufficient to meet any unusualand sudden demand upon it. Thisnecessarily emphasises the importanceof a thorough organisation of ex-cursions in which large parties par-ticipate, but the experience which theRailways Department is gaining mustbe of considerable value to it when itextends—for it is to be hoped it willextend—its excursion service.

The grievance which the racing com-munity has against the Governmentover the taxation that is imposed uponit is not peculiar to it. If it were,the sportsmen, who are actively pro-testing against the burdens that arelaid on racing, would receive a largeramount of sympathy than is being ex-tended to them. There is no real jus-tification for describing the taxation onracing as class taxation. The lash ofthe tax-gatherer falls upon the justand the unjust alike. There is no classthat escapes from it, and there is nonethat is not calling more or less loudlyfor relief. But it is to be feared thatthe prospects of immediate relief forany class are not very bright.Ordinarily the amount of the surplusroughly indicates the amount which itis possible to remit in taxation. A.surplus, however, of £IBO,OOO, againstwhich has to be placed the practicalcertainty that increased charges willhave to be met in the current year,does not afford much room forremissions. Even if it did, it must beregarded as extremely questionablewhether sport should be favoured atthe expense of industry. Most peoplewill probably hold that industry isentitled to the first and earliest con-sideration at the hands of the Ministerof Finance. After all, moreover, it hasto be recognised that more than one-half of the taxation which is said tofall on racing clubs is actually paid bythe individual patrons of racing. Theextent to which the dividend taxaffects the volume of investments onthe totalisator is a matter of con-jecture. The probability is that it isnot very great. The quantity of bet-ting that takes place over race meet-ings varies according to the generaleconomic conditions M the country.

and it seems certainly more correct toattribute any shrinkage that occurs inthe totalisator turnover to financialstringency rather than to the rapaciousdemands of the Government.

The loss which the Harbour Boards ofthe Dominion suffer each year throughthe exemption of Government steamei'sand Government stores from wharfagedues is very considerable. It has notbeen borne uncomplainingly, for- remon-strances have from time to time beenaddressed by these bodies to theGovernment on the subject. But,however strongly the representationson the part of the Boards have beenurged, however conclusively the argu-ments against the exemption of theGovernment from the payment of duesto which all shipping and all consign-ments of goods are supposed to beequally liable may seem to have beenput, the Government has remainedadamant. In its might it has sternlyrefused to surrender the position ithas assumed. The entrance into theIsland fruit trade of the steamer MauiPomar© will raise in a fresh form thequestion of the exemption from duesthat is claimed by the Government.Here' will be the case of a Govern-ment steamer engaged in a trade inwhich there is a competing service.It may be taken for granted that theHarbour Boards will be able to collectdues on the fruit that will be landedfrom the Maui Pomare. There is aprecedent for that, apparently, in thepayment to the Auckland HarbourBoard of dues on the goods that arebrought from Norfolk Island byanother Government steamer. Butboth the Auckland and the WellingtonBoards seem concerned about the viewthat the Government will take of thelevying by them of wharfage dues inrespect of the steamer Maui Pomare.The Lyttelton and Otago HarbourBoards are directly interested in thismatter. Clearly it will be inequitableif the Government steamer is exemptedfrom dues that have to be paid in thecase of other steamers engaged in thesame trade and carrying the samecommodities.

A bronze medallion which was recentlyunearthed in a Wellington garden, andwhich is at present in the possession ofMr F. Brown, chief Government poultryinstructor, now in Dunedin, forms an in-teresting relic of the early days of Otago.The medallion is in a state of perfect pre-servation, is two inches in width and aquarter of an inch in thickness. Itbears an inscription stating that it wasawarded in 1876 by the Northern andPastoral Association, Otago (instituted1863) to a Mr E. E. Harding as a secondprize for the best bantam in the gamefowls section. It is Mr Brown’s inten-tion to retain possession of the medallionuntil it can be claimed.

The railways authorities report thatnumerous inquiries have been receivedregarding the night expresses, and thatalready bookings for the initial train ofthe service which will pass through Dun-edin on Sunday evening next, are fairlyheavy. To this train will be attacheda sleeping car, which will be availablefor the use of passengers from 9 p.m.,and whilst the train is standing at astation special precautions will be takento preserve silence in the vicinity of thecar. A similar carriage will also beattached to the train from Christchurchwhich will arrive at Dunedin at 6.24 onthe mornings of Mondays, Thursdays, andSaturdays, and for the convenience of itsoccupants, it will be detached from thetrain on arrival here, and left in a suit-able position in the railway yard, so thatthe passengers may leave it at theirleisure. The running schedule providesfor suitable refeshment stops, and in addi-tion, it will be possible to obtain lightrefreshments on the sleeping cars in themornings. It has also been arrangedthat breakfast will be ready at Christ-church and Dunedin on the arrival of thenorth and south-bound trains respectively.Until such time as the new sleepers areready, it is proposed to use cars similarto those originally in use on the NorthIsland main trunk line.

Attention was drawn at yesterday’sspecial meeting of the Dunedin Chamberof Commerce to the alteration in thetime of closing of the San Francisco mailon Monday, June 18. It was statedthat the running of the night expressinstead of the usual express would meanthat the mail would close at 7 a.m.instead of 10 a.m. It was likely thatthis alteration would be a permanentone as far as the San Francisco mailwas concerned. ft

Two teachers in one school,in 66 yearssounds somewhat of a record. However,such is the record of North Taieri School.Mr G. B. Anderson, who had servedin the Maori War, commenced teachingin 1862, and held office for 46 years. MissPretch, who is about to retire, completedthe remaining 20 years.

Some time ago a letter from a Britishfirm to a Dunedin business man came intothe hands of the Dunedin Chamber ofCommerce. It suggested that goodsshould be imported into New Zealandon a cash on delivery basis. The markedvalue of the goods so imported couldbe only 50 per cent, or 75 per cent, ofthe full value, and the difference couldbe made up in some other way, probablythrough the bank. The matter wasbrought before the Executive Committeeof the Chamber of Commerce, and theletter was forwarded to Mr W. DownieStewart (Minister of Customs), with thecomment that the communication sug-gested an ingenious method by which theCustoms could be defrauded. “ I ammuch obliged to you for your letter,”wrote Mr Downie Stewart in reply. “Ishall be pleased to place the matterbefore the officers of my department forinvestigation as far as possible, thoughit is difficult to do anything, in the ab-sence of the name and address of thesender of the circular.”

An election will not be necessary inthe University Council this year, as nooutside nominations have been received.The terms of office of Dr Marshall Mac-donald and Messrs W. J. Morrell, J. A.Moore, C. M. Gilray, and L. D. Ritchieconclude on June 30, but the nomina-tions which closed on June 1 includedonly these names.

Following on the visit of the 'WestCoast farmers to Dunedin, the RailwaysDepartment is now making preliminaryarrangements for a party of Otagofarmers to visit the West Coast aboutthe end of the present month. It isproposed that the train will run forthe benefit of farmers from all stationsbetween Tapanui and Kurow, and in-cluded in the suggested programme forthe entertainment of the visitors duringtheir stay on the West Coast are visitsto the State Coal Mine at Rewanui,Totara Flat (the farming district of theCoast) and the Brunner Timber Com-pany’s huge sawmill at To Kenga.

A case was commenced in the SupremeCourt at Wellington yesterday beforeMr Justice Sim (says a Press Associa-tion telegram) when Norman Parataand Percy John Alridge, formerpublic works employees, each claimedfrom Albert Goodman, a horse trainer,flaOO as damages in respect of acollision between the motor cycle theywere riding and a motor car driven byGoodman on the main road, Upper Hutt,last September. As a result of the acci-dent each of the plaintiffs lost a leg.Plaintiffs alleged negligence on Good-man’s part. Goodman denied the allega-tions. and in his turn alleged negligenceagainst, the plaintiffs. Evidence forpltintiffs will be continued to-morrow.

At a special meeting of the DunedinChamber of Commerce held yesterday, itwas decided to forward the followingtelegram to the Prime Minister (Mr J.G. Coates):—“ The Dunedin Chamber ofCommerce received the news of the de-cision to run night express trains be-tween Christchurch and Invercargill, withmuch gratification. The time table, aspublished, will make it possible for busi-ness trips between Dunedin and Christ-church, and Dunedin and Invercargill tobe undertaken with a minimum loss oftime, and it should stimulate travel byrail between these centres. The chambejdesires to convey to you its hearty thankiand appreciation for this great benefitand will do everything possible to giv<the new service publicity. The chambejwas also pleased to receive a visit fromMr D. Rodie (commercial manager ofrailways), who gave interesting details."

At the City Police Court yesterdayafternoon, James David Pearson ap-peared before Mr J. R. Bartholomew,S.M., on a charge of keeping a commongaming house at 116 George street. Onthe application of Mr C. J. L. White,who appeared for him, the defendant wa(

remanded to appear on Saturday nextbail being allowed in his own recognisance of £SO and one surety of £SO.

An accountant in a local bank, who re-sides in Dunedin North, was rudelyawakened from his sleep early yesterdaymorning by an intruder in his house.The prowler, on hearing that the occu-pants were aroused, made good his escapedown the stairs, where it was afterwardsfound that he had placed a walkingstick across the stairway, presumably totrip up anyone who might interrupt hisoperations. By the time the owner hadgot up to investigate the intruder hadobtained a good start, and crossing severalbackyards made his escape. On takingstock of his losses the resident found thatabout £1 had been removed from one ofhis pockets, a liberal quantity of milkhad been consumed in the dairy, and apair of socks were missing from theclothes line. A stranger was seen prow-ling around the house at 12.30 by a neigh-bour, who had no suspicions of his in-tentions. It is believed that the housewas entered by the back door, which hadinadvertently been left unlocked, and theman had evidently waited on the groundfloor until he considered that all themembers of the household were asleep.

In March last, the St. Kilda BoroughCouncil passed a resolution to “he effectthat the Finance Committee be authorisedto transfer annually a sum not less than5 per cent, of the capital cost of plantto a plant renewal fund, but at lastnight’s meeting of the council, the Mayor(Mr R. W. Hall) in accordance with aprevious notice of motion, moved thatthis resolution be rescinded. Mr Hallexplained that after re-considering theidea embodied in the original motion, hehad come to the conclusion that if theyadopted it, they would not be conformingstrictly with the restrictions imposed onthem by the Audit Department. Therewas no provision for a renewal fund inthe Statute, excepting in the case of localbody trading concerns, and he was afraidthat if such a renewal fund were created,their balance sheet would be returnedwith a tag on it. He thought, said MrHall, that if they wished to keep withinthe Jfour corners of the law, they shouldrescind the resolution. Cr J. D,M'Curdy seconded the motion. Cr E.Longworth'said that although he was themover of the original motion, he feltcorcpelle'd, in view of the fact that he hadafterwards found out that the town clerkhad not been consulted as to the wisdomor the legality of such a course, to makea right-about face and support the Mayor.Cr H. H. Leary contended that the estab-lishing of a renewal fund was perfectlylegal,' and that there was nothing in theAct to prevent it. They simply pro-posed transferring the money from oneaccount to the other; there was no ques-tion of dispersal. “If,” said Cr Leiry,the council thinks the principle is right,let it adhere to it, despite the law ofred tape. I cannot see why we shouldbe intimidated by the fact that ourbalance • sheet might be tagged.” “Evenif we are only transferring from one de-partment to another,” said Mr Hall, “weare running contrary to Statute.” Themotion was then put to the meeting andcarried on the casting vote of theMayor.

An increase of Jd in the £ on the■water rate and fd in the £ on the generalrate was decided on at the fortnightlymeeting of the St. Kilda Borough Councillast night. The meeting was attendedby the Mavor (Mr R. W. Hall) and CrsR. Telfer, R. Beattie, C. Conn, G. Strat-ton, F. O. Gillam, J. D. M'Curdy, E. Long-worth, and H. H. Leary. Cr Learymoved the adoption of the Finance Com-mittee’s report, which consisted of re-commendations that the increase men-tioned be brought into effect. CrLeary explained that, by the new regula-tions laid down by the Local Bodies’ LoanBoard, they were called on to pay a"sinking fund of £250 per annum on ac-count of the waterworks redemption loanof £SOOO. He wanted it clearly under-stood, however, that the committee didnot recommend the increase voluntarily—-the rate had been forced on them, and theposition was that they had to find £250every year. Cr M'Curdy seconded themotion, remarking that it was only fairthat the ratepayers should meet theamount. In regard to the increase inthe general rate, Cr Leary pointed outthat the council was some hundreds ofpounds short in its requirements and theonly way to meet this deficiency was toincrease the rating. Although the esti-mates had not yet been considered, anyconsideration or cutting of them wouldnot affect the position. The motion wascarried.

Our London correspondent reports thatthe late Mr Robert Edward Stephens,of the Union Bank of Australia, Corn-hill, and Christchurch, left an estate inEngland valued at £51,845.

At the reunion social of the ex-pupi!aat the Green Island Hal! this evening,which will be open to the public, theMayor of Green Island will present thecertificate awarded by the Royal HumaneSociety to James Lindsay Mehalski forhis bravery in attempting to rescue thetwo Duncan brothers from the refrigerat-ing company’s dam at Burnside in theearly part of last year.

Dr A. W. Hill, director of the Eoya!Botanic Gardens, Kew, is Home again(reports our London correspondent, writ-ing on May 5). New Zealand impressedhim as one of the cleanest and tidiestplaces he had seen. “It is not a countryin which people go about dropping piecesof paper and litter. All the gardens arebeautifully planted in flowers, and al-though some of them are not fenced, theyare tidy and well cared for.” There re-marks were made to a representative ofthe Evening News.

At a well attended meeting in Master-ton last night under the auspices of theBible-in-Schools League (reports a PressAssociation telegram) a resolution wasunanimously passed—■“ That this meetingviews as inadequate the present systemof education because its entirely secularprinciple is a menace to moral and re-ligious welfare, a danger to the Stateand an injustice to the child, and there-fore demands from Parliament the re-storation of the Bible to the primaryschools. M hile not opposing the Nelsonsystem, the meeting views that sjstemas inadequate.” The speakers were theBishop of Nelson and the Rev. JohnPaterson, of \\ anganui.

An amusing coincidence was remarkedupon bv Mr T. E. Maunselj, S.M., in theMagistrate's Court at Blenheim in a easein which the ownership of a dog was dis-puted. A witness was giving evidence tothe effect that he could identify the dogin question by the fact that it had atooth missing, that tooth having beenknocked out by the witness’s own boot.“ Face me and show me on your own jawthe position from which the tooth iamissing. -’ said the Magistrate. Whe*the witness complied the Magistrate e*-claimed: “Why. you have the same toothmissing! The dog did not retaliate, didhe!*

The Fertilisers Act passed by Parlia-ment last session came into operation onFriday. The Act was asked for by thefarming community for many years, itsmain object being to require the descrip-tion of each ingredient in a manure mix-ture to be made known by the merchantsfor the information of farmers. Underthe old Act, the seller was permitted tosell manures on the chemical descriptionalone, which was not generally in termscomprehensible to the layman. In out-lining'the measure last year the Ministerof Agriculture (Mr O. J. Hawken) ex-pressed the opinion that the new lawwould give the farmers greater confidenceand cause them to use a great deal moremanure on their lands, which was de-sirable. Regulations under the Act areto be issued.

At the fortnightly meeting of the St.Ifilda Borough Council last evening, thecost of water supplied to the boroughfor the 15 days ended on Tuesday lastwas reported to be £l2l 4s 6d comparedwith fill 5s for the previous fortnight.

Immediately on his arrival in England(says our London correspondent, writingon May 2) an interview with Sir ThornesMackenzie was sought by a pressman re-garding prospects in New Zealand ofpeople going out to settle. Sir Thomassaid: “I .would . impress on young mengoing’ out that it is better, if they wishto make their way, to do what many of ushave -done in' the past—go out there un-encumbered- • It is very difficult for amarried man with a family at once to getwages sufficient to provide for residenceand the cost of a family. Let the youngman begin alone, and then aim at savinga nest-egg • for • the time when he canmarry, and have the comforts of a home.”Sir Thomas thinks there is sufficientlabour in New Zealand at present to meetits requirements.

The question of providing pensions foremployees engaged in commercial and in-dustrial pursuits has engaged the atten-tion of many employers throughout theDominion- for years past. It is generallyrecognised, that the average wage-earnerrequires assistance through superannua-tion before his old age can be adequatelyprovided for. In order to meet this de-sirable obpect the Government last ses-sion put through an important amend-ment to the law relating to the Govern-ment National Provident Fund, whichsecures an effective superannuationscheme. Employers can now obtain forany, or all, of their employees betweenthe ages of 16 and 60 pensions rangingfrom 10s to £4 weekly, payable at theage' of 60.

Attention is directed to the railwayadvertisement appearing in this issue inconnection with the running of night ex-press trains between Christchurch andInvercargill, and also alterations in dayson which usual mail and express trainsrun.

CONFERENCE AT GENEVA.

DEBATE OF WAGES QUESTION.

(United Press Association.)(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)

GENEVA, June 5.(Receved June 6, at 5.5 p.m.)

Messrs Walker and Sandford were thecentral figures in the debate on the wagesquestion. Mr Walker stating the casefor the arbitration method, and Mr Sand-ford condemning it. Both speakers werelistened to with the greatest interest. MrSandford’s speech received warm commen-dation from the employers’ group.

Mr Walker read a prepared statement,which was really a resume of labourlegislation in Australia- He painted arosv picture of conditions there.

Mr Sandford .in replying, said that theoutstanding result of arbitration had beento increase the cost of living. Makingwage increases was a mere illusion, rendering difficult competition with othercountries. The courts created class con-sciousness, which would soon turn toenvy and suspicion. This engendered anatmosphere inimical to the interests ofthe workers.

Mr Sandford scathingly criticised MrWalker’s beautiful picture, and said thatfrom a distance Mr Walker regarded allAustralia’s fields as green, hut forgot tomention the huge brown patches—unem-ployment, strikes, and losses on Govern-ment enterprises: He warned i-’s hearersthat it was only the prosgf v of thesheep industry and wheat protectionwhich rendered possible the venturesomelegislative experiments in Australia.—Australian Press Association.

BACK TO SCOTLAND

THE AUSTRALIAN TOURISTS.

ATTRACTING EMIGRANTS.

(United Press Association.)(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)

LONDON, June 5.The Australian Scottish tourists have

received numerous applications fromfactory girls desiring to emigrate, whichthey could only promise to forward. Itis 'significant that only 1 per cent, ofthe prospective emigrants are experiencedfarm workers, due to Canada havingattracted Scottish folk. An encouragingfeature is the number of small capitalistsinterested, and the delegates camplainthat official Government propaganda isentirely unsatisfactory for this class ofmigrant, which consequently does notknow anything of the conditions obtainingin Australia.—Australian Press Associa-tion.

THE PACIFIC FLIGHT

ENTHUSIASM IN AMERICA.

GREAT PRAISE FOR CREW.

A BRILLIANT ACHIEVEMENT.

(United Press Association.!(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)

NEW YORK, June 5.The highest possible praise is being

accorded the crew of the Southern Crossfrom all parts of the United States.The extracts that follow are character-istic of the enthusiasm which the flighthas aroused generally.

Commander Byrd said: “It agreat accomplishment, and my heartiestcongratulations go to the crew of theSouthern Cross. They are brave mep,who have written this new chapter inthe history of flying. Their trip so faris one of the finest ever completed.”

The New York Evening World says:“ The much more daring and difficultsecond stage of the great transpacificflight of the Southern Cross has beenachieved as brilliantly as the first stage.It is a wonderful triumph and amazing,for it was the initial, run over an un-known course. Cheers for the intrepidcrew. Captain Kingsford Smith andLieutenant Ulm are Australians, andCaptain Lyon and Mr Warner areAmericans.”—Australian Press Associa-tion.

PRESENTATION FROM CHIEFS.

A RARE HONOUR.

SUVA, June 6.There will be a ball in the Grand

Pacific Hotel in honour of the flyers to-night, and the presentation of whales’teeth by the Fijian chiefs, the highesthonour possible in native tradition, witha ceremony similar to the presentationto the Prince of Wales.—AustralianPress Association.

THE AMERICANS ON BOARD.

MAY NOT COMPLETE FLIGHT.

SUVA, June 6.It has not been decided whether or

not Captain Lyon and Mr Warnershall continue the flight. CaptainLyon was amused at an Americancable stating that his wife waswatching events and was much wor-ried. He is unmarried.—AustralianPress Association.

INTEREST IN AUSTRALIA.

PREPARATIONS FOR WELCOME.

SYDNEY, June 6.The chief topic of conversation in

Australia is the safe arival at Suva ofthe Pacific flyers. The Prime Ministercabled congratulations, adding; “Aus-tralia looks forward to welcoming youat the termination of your daring andhazardous exploit.”

Mr Bruce announced that the NewZealand warships would co-operate inpatrolling the waters between Fiji andAustralia for the final stage of theflight, and the New Zealand radiostations would co-operate.

Mr Buttenshaw (Acting State PrimeMinister) has cabled Captain Smith ask-ing the flyers upon their arrival toattend a State dinner in their honour.

Preparations for a fitting welcome havebeen made in Brisbane, where the flyerswill land from Suva.

Leading aviators in Australia, com-menting on the flyers’ achievement, de-

it as amazing and superb. SirKeith Smith, Captain Lancaster, andLieutenant Parer declare that Australiais again placed in the forefront of avia-tion.

Captain Kingsford Smith’s father andmother, aged 76 and 70 respectively, arehale and hearty. They reside in thesuburb of Longueville, north of Sydney.They are tremendously elated. Kings-ford is the youngest of seven children.—Australian Press Association.

OPINION IN ENGLAND.

AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE.

LONDON, June 6.(Received June 5, at 9 p.m.)

The transpacific flight is regardedeverywhere in England as the most out-standing performance in British aviation.The Daily Telegraph’s aviation corres-pondent says that the mere fact thatCaptain Kingsford Smith found Fiji atall after 3000 miles of ocean travel is aremarkable feat of navigation, and atriumph for the progress of aerial naviga-tion. There are no fixed landmarks andnothing by which pilots can estimate thedrift.

THE FINANCE BILL.

A LABOUR AMENDMENT,

(United Press Association.)(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)

LONDON, June 5.(Received June 6, at 5.5 p.m.)

In the House of Commons Mr PhilipSnowden submitted a Labour amend-ment objecting to the second readingof the Finance Bill, because it did notrelieve the workers of the taxburden, and proposed to use the nationalrevenue to give rate relief to particularclasses instead of fundamentally re-forming the system of levying rates onsite values created by communities. TheGovernment’s scheme would only givetemporary relief to a limited class ofproducers. He believed that Mr Win-ston Churchill recognised that perma-nent relief was not obtainable withoutrating land values, but the Chancellordid not dare to propose it now that hebelonged to the Conservative Ministry.-Australian Press Association—UnitedService.

LIMITING RATES RELIEF.

DEFENDED BY CHANCELLOR.

LONDON, June 5.(Received June 6, at 5.5 p.m.)

Mr Winston Churchill, in replying,said it must be remembered that he wasproposing a constructive scheme, fol-lowing the disastrous general strikeyear, when £80,000,000 was taken fromthe revenues of four poor years. MrLloyd George imposed various taxes onland values but these yielded only£1,300,000 in 11 years. Mr Lloyd Georgewas so disgusted with the result thathe abandoned them in 1920. Defend-ing the decision to limit rates relief toproductive industries he pointed outthat the Inland Revenue Departmenthad classified 30,000 firms into 15 maintrade groups, covering all productiveindustry except transport, public utili-ties and agriculture. These 15 groupscomprised 8,000,000 workers, and wereresponsible for 800,000 of the unem-ployed.

The percentage of rates to profits ofthe whole of the groups was 7.8, but sixgroups had an average of 20 per cent.In mines, wool, cotton, iron, steel, ship-building, engineering, bleaching, dyeingand metals, the ratio of rates to profitswas three to four times as high as theother nine groups. . They had higher un-employment, and showed £25,000,000 lessprofit last year than in 1925. They wereall unsheltered and constituted the mainstaple of our exports. The other ninegroups were either sheltered or holdingtheir own. The Government was seek-ing to relieve the main body of indus-tries, which was lagging behind, but itwould be madness .to try to hinder theadvance guard of the industries whichwere prospering.—Australian Press As-sociation—United Service.

SIR JOHN SIMON’S CRITICISM.

SECOND READING CARRIED.

LONDON, June 6.(Received June 6, at 10 p.m.)

Sir John Simon criticised Mr Churchillfor collecting money from the petrol tax,though not spending a penny until afterthe general election. He did not believethe Government scheme for the next fiveyears was going to give assistance tonecessitous areas. Mr Churchill couldperfectly well take over £14,000,000 oflocal burdens at once and meet it withmoney from the petrol tax, but would notbecause he favoured a method of relievingselected individuals under the generalhead that they belonged to depressed in-dustries. Not every member of a de-pressed industry was depressed. Thewhole idea of selecting individuallyseemed to be utterly contrary to soundprinciples of finance.

Sir John Simon said it was a betterplan not to wait eighteen months. In-stead, he could give relief by selectinglocal burdens which the State couldshoulder, and define the necessitous areas,giving aid to every in neces-sitous areas, which they were justly en-titled to expect.

Sir Robert Horne approved of MrChurchill’s proposals of rating relief, butthought that an attempt should be madeto secure an equal rate for industriesthroughout the country.

The second reading was carried by 3—.to 135.—Australian Press Association.

LONDON, June 6.(Received June 0, at 9 p.m.)

Captain Ernest Lehmann, director ofGerman air raids during the war, re-

veals a plan that 20 Zeppelins were tostrike London simultaneously by night.“ They were to drop 6000 bombs, as theresult of which it was calculated thatLondon would have to combat more than1000 fires at the same time, and noorganisation on earth could fight such aconflagration. It was estimated that athird of the Zeppelins would be shotdown in flames, but only after they haddropped their bombs on the city. Theplan was feasible, but was abandonedbecause the Kaiser stipulated that suchplaces as Buckingham Palace, West-minster Abbey, St. Paul’s and residen-tial sections should not he bombed evenby accident. I commanded the firstZeppelin to fly over England, and knewwhat the orders were and what it meantif I disobeyed them. The object of air-raiding was to weaken the enemy’smorale, but if anything, British morale,was strengthenedby the Zeppelin raids.Australian Press Association.

Other horses fancied are Sir LaurencePhillipps’s Flamingo, the Aga Khan’sRan jit Singh, Baron Edouard de Roth-child’s Bubbles the Second, and CaptainGough’s Royal Minstrel. Three of theowners of the above horses will not beable to witness the attempt of theircaandidates to win the blue riband ofthe turf. Lord Derby, one of the verypopular heads of racing, will be absentowing to his recent bereavement by thedeath of his daughter in the huntingfield; the Aga Khan has been ill withpneumonia in France, and has been for-bidden by his doctor to travel to Epsom,and Captain Gough is shooting big gamein Africa.

Among other owners of horse en-gaged is the veteran statesman, theEarl of Rosebery, whoso colt Camel-Jord is regarded as having an outsidechance of winning and an excellentchance of finishing in the first three.The Earl of Rosebery will also not bethere on account of his age. He wonthe Derby with Ladas when he wasPrime Minister in 1894, and won againin 1895 with Sir Vesto, and in 1905 withCicero.

Signor Mussolini, in the Senate, re-viewed Italy’s relations to other nations.He declared that Italy was indifferent tothe changes in the American immigrationlaws, because for two years it had beenrestricting migration. He emphasisedthe reality of the traditional Anglo-Italian friendship, but denied the sugges-tion that Sir Austen Chamberlain hadauthorised the Italian policy, adding,“ Italy does not need authorisation ofher policies. She is perfectly auto-nomous therein.”

He declared that PrancoTtalian rela-tions had greatly improved, and hewarned Jugo-Slavia that Italy beenwaiting for three years for ratification ofthe Nettuno conventions. Italy did notdesire the e.imity of her neighbours, butshe could not subordinate her foreignpolicy to such vicissitudes. He blamedthe ignorance of Italy, combined withself-intoxication and megalomania, for therecent outbursts at Spalata and Zagreb,but the Jugo-Slavian reply had closedthe incident. He urged Jugo-Slavia toremember that Italian friendship wasworth cultivation.

He intimated that Franco-Italian dis-cussions on the limitation of armamentswere likely as an offset to the Germanrequest for permission to increase arma-ments.—Australian Press Association.—United Service.

THE EDUCATION SYSTEM.

TOO MANY CENTRAL AUTHORI-TIES.

FEWER BOARDS DESIRABLE.

ADDRESS BY THE MINISTER.

(Special to Daily Times.)WELLINGTON, June 6.

The Council of Education met to-day,Mr A. Bell, Assistant Director of Educa-tion, being in the chair owing to theabsence of Mr T. B. Strong, the Director.

* The following members were present:—Mr C. W. Garrard (Auckland), Mr J. R.Kirk (Gisborne). Mr T. U. Wells (Auck-land), Mr D. T. Fleming, M.L.C. (Dun-edin), Mr W. A. Banks (Christchurch),Mr J. E. Purchase (Christchurch),Mr F. Milner (Oamaru), Miss B. E. Car-nachan (Auckland), Miss E. A. Chaplin(Christchurch) Miss N. E. Coad (W el-lington). Mr F. H. Bakewell (Welling-ton), Mr J. H. Howell (Wellington), MrE. C. Banks (Auckland), and Miss C.Cniickshank (Wanganui).

The proceedings were opened with ahrief address from the Minister of Edu-cation (Mr R.‘ A. Wright). He said heknew that the council was only an ad-visory body. It might be that individu-ally members would prefer to have morepower and punch. “We hav© a greatmany bodies with power in our educa-tional system,” said Mr Wright. “Itis difficult for the Minister to have con-trol if there are too many hoards withstatutory powers, and it might be betterif! there were fewer hoards.”, The Minister then referred 'to the in-cessant demand made for money. “IfParliament voted me £8,000,000 insteadof four I could spend it. and spend itwell,” he said, “ but of that there isnot a ghost of a hope, so we must makethe best of things as they are. I amentirely governed by the amount of

money voted.” Mr Wright added thatthp rebuilding and remodelling of primaryschools had been concentrated upon, hutit was a long and costly work, whichmight have with advantage been begunsooner. “ The trouble is that boardswant ornate and costly buildings as acredit to the town; but that is not myidea. Then, too, people want the newschools to become a centre of education.That is also not my idea. I do notcare where children go as long as theyget educated.” Half a million a vear, hesaid, was being spent on school build-ings, an amount which was not suf-ficent to overtake arrears of work.

Very properly there had been anoutcry over classes being too large andabout two teachers being forced to takeclasses in the same room, continued theMinister. To employ more teachers toremedy the evil of larger classes wassipiply to intensify the evil of teachingin the same room. The only remedywas more buildings. A modified systemof open-air schools was very good, inhis opinion. They, might not be orna-mental buildings, but after all theobject to be aimed at was the best edu-cation under the best possible con-ditions.

Before closing the Minister touchedupon the matter of the employment asteachers of married women. It was aquestion, he said, oyer which there hadbeen much controversy, opinion beingwell divided. If boards were to he givendiscretionary powers in the matter therewould have to be no interference withthe married women at present employed.The .position would have to be handledcarefully so as to cause no injustice.“ Howeyer, I leave it to you. It is not

•my problem,” concluded Mr Wright.

“A VULGAR ADVENTURER.”

GUILTY OF FALSE PRETENCES.

JHIS HONOR’S CASTIGATION.

(Pbb United Pbess Association.)NAPIER, June 6.

Colin Coryton was found guilty in theSupreme Court to-day and sentenced tonine months’ imprisonment, with hardlabour, on a charge that on or aboutApril 5, at Rotorua, he did obtain fromHelen Caroline Lowry the sum of £3OOby falsely representing that he had aletter of credit for £IOOO at the NationalBank of New Zealand at Nelson.

Evidence as given in the lower courtJest Friday was tendered.

Cross-examining Mrs Lowry, counselfor the accused asked: “I put it to youthat you were sympathetic to this youngman?—Well, I am known as the most"sympathetic and foolish woman in NewZealand,

Counsel: I agree with you as to thefirst portion of your answer. .

Witness: This is the last time, though.No evidence was called the defence.Counsel contended that misrepresenta-

tion with regard to the letter of creditdid not induce Mrs Lowry to lend themoney. He suggested that in this caseit was Mrs Lowry's generous desire tohelp Coryton more than anything elsethat induced her to lend the money onthe security of a Rolls-Royce car.

Mr Justice Ostler pointed out thatCoryton admitted to the police that hetold Mrs Lowry he had a letter of credit,and Mrs Lowry said in evidence that shelent the money on that assurance. Thefact that she had enough business in-stinct when making the loan to get apromissory note and the security of thecar was not at all inconsistent with herstatement that she was induced to makethe loan on a. false representation.

The jury took 15 minutes to reach averdict of guilty.

In passing sentence, his Honor said itlooked to him as though the accused hadbeen little better than a vulgar adven-turer living beyond his,means. “We inNew Zealand appreciated plain folk andknow their true worth, but you have beena mean imposter travelling about thecountry in a Rolls-Royce car with a man-servant, and leaving a train ofdebt. It is in the public interest thatyou should receive a sharp lesson. Youwill be imprisoned for nine months, withhard labour.”

THE BANKING RETURNS

FIRST WEEKLY REVIEW.

SUBSTANTIAL EXCESS OFDEPOSITS.

FAVOURABLE POSITIONDISCLOSED.

(Special to Daily Times.)WELLINGTON, June 6.

The weekly banking returns recentlyinstituted appear for the first time inthe monthly Abstract of Statistics, andcover a period of seven weeks from April3 to May 21.

The latest comparative figures avail-able on the banking situation—viz., thosefor the March quarter, 1928, show a verymarked recovery from the unfavourableposition ruling for the same quarter of1927, comments the Government Statis-tician. The high level set for advancesin the March quarter of 1927 was re-duced by £4,730,438, or 9 per cent., forthe same quarter in 1928, while the de-posits recorded for 1928 showed an in-crease of £3,737,849, or approximately 8per cent, over the figure for 1927. Thenet result of these movements is thatthe excess of advances over deposits forthe first three months of 1927 has beenreplaced in 1928 by a substantial excessof deposits.

The movement towards the contractionof credit as indicated by the bankingfigures is reflected in the figures show-ing the value of mortgages registered dur-ing April, and the first four months of1928, which show decreases of 18 and 12per cent, respectively in comparison withsimilar figures for the correspondingperiods of 1927. Possibly the same move-ment has been in some measure respon-sible for the increases of 1 and 7 percent, respectively in the value of landtransfers recorded for April and the first-month of 1928, as compared with thosefor 1927.

In regard to the weekly banking re-turns it is not possible to give any com-parison with the position of a year ago.The figures are as follows:—

The minimum bank rate for discountand overdrafts stands at 7 per cent.

THE BETTING BAROMETER.

STRIKING AUCKLAND FIGURES.

(Special to Daily Times.)AUCKLAND, June 6.

The sum of £2,581,544 10s has alreadybeen put through the totalisator thisseason by supporters of racing andtrotting in Auckland province. TheAuckland Trotting Club’s winter meet-ing is yet to be held, and another fixturestill before racegoers in the currentseason is that of the Te Kuiti Club,which this year will race at Ellerslie.As the figures now stand they are only£478 10s behind those for 1926-27. Whencompared with the season of 1925-26 theprogress total is lower by £383,027 10s,and carried back to 1924-25 it io downby £227,503.

Racing, with £1,982,677, has accountedfor the greatest part of the season’sinvestments, and of this amount the cityclubs’ meetings produced £1,313,925. Inthe previous year the city clubs ac-counted for £1,254,728, a total whichshows this season to have the advant-age by £59,196 10s. However, on thefigures for 1925-26 the metropolitanclubs’ investments are down by £78,67110s.

The popularity of Ellerslie is revealedin the fact tnat at four meetings con-ducted by the Auckland Racing Clubthis season £911,613 10s was put throughthe totalisator, the total being an in-crease of £63,163 on that for the prevousseason, and a decrease of £38,074 10sin 1925-26. The country racing clubshave also had the experience of largerinvestments this season. Their totalto date is £668,752, an increaseof £62,994 on 1926-27, but a decrease of£67,342 on 1925-26.

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEEMEETS.

RANFURLY SHIELD RULESDISCUSSED.

(Peb United Pbess Association.)WELLINGTON, June 6.

A meeting of the Management Com-mittee of the New Zealand Rugby Unionwas held to-night, Mr S. S. Dean pre-siding.

,, , ...

The Bush Union asked for a subsidytowards the cost of its northern tour thisseason.—The Chairman said that theNew Zealand Union’s policy was to assistteams visiting isolated centres like theWest Coast, hut if they were going tomake grants to all and sundry therewould be no end to such requests. TheNew Zealand Union had not a great dealof ready money at its disposal. In goingto the King Country and Thames Valleythe Bush Union was doing good for thegame but it would have to come to adefinite understanding regarding grantsto touring minor unions. It was a ques-tion whether some of the minor unionsshould not join up with the major unions.

Mr Wylie said that there were threemajor unions with whifeh the Bush Unioncould join up—Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa,and Manawatu. . ,

On the motion of Mr E. M'Kenzio itwas decided to make a grant of £25 tothe Bush Union.

The Auckland Rugby Union wrote for-warding challenges for the RanfurlyShield to the Wairarapa, Canterbury,South Canterbury. Otago, Southland andWellington Unions.

The South Canterbury Union wrotestating that the Canterbury Union hadadvised that it would be unable to setaside a date for a shield match beforeJuly 18, on which date Canterbury hadagreed to play Wairarapa. It asked ifit would be in order in declaring thematch with Canterbury a match for thetrophy.—Mr Dean then moved—“Thatinrespect to matches for the RanfurlyShield all challenges shall be subject toacceptance by the home union ami alsoto the approval of the New ZealandRugby Union in committee.”—The Chair-man said that the union could not verywell accept “globo” challenges for theshield.

Mr T. A. Fletcher: A “ Globo ” chal-lenge is wrong in principle.

Mr E. M'Kenzie: In the .event of Wai-rarapa winning the shield from Canter-bury, would it be compelled to playAuckland for the trophy immediatelyupon its return? If this were insistedupon, Wairarapa would have to cancelthe match with South Canterbury.

Mr Dean: The New Zealand Union hasa right to say which shall be challenge

Mr E. Wylie; Rule 2 gives the NewZealand Union certain rights, but no rightwhere the match is played on the groundof the holder of the shield.

Mr Dean; I am quite convinced thatthe rule intended that the New ZealandUnion should have the right to decidewhich shall be challenge matches. Ateam might be called upon to play a shieldmatch the, very day it returns from astrenuous tour. Would that be fair?Rule 5 was put to limit special challengematches, as these made special charges onthe gate money.

Mr Dean moved—“ That in regard tothe Ranfurly Shield only the actualholders of the shield can be challenged.”

Mr Wylie moved as an amendment—-“ That the matter be referred to theunion’s solicitors.”

Mr T. A. Fletcher seconded the amend-ment.

Mr Dean: Suppose a union disagreeswith our ruling, what are we to do?

A member suggested that legal adviceshould be sought. j

Mr Dean: I don’t see why we shouldrequire legal advice to settle a Rugbyquestion.

Mr E. MTvenzie seconded Mr Dean’smotion.

Mr Dean: I am afraid that the Ran-furly Shield rules are getting a bit off-side, and the sooner the position is clari-fied the better.

Mr Wylie then withdrew his amend-ment and Mr Dean’s motion was carried.

The North and South Island minorunions’ match was offered to Manawhenuafor August 4 at Palmerston North, pro-vided the Wanganui and Wairarapamatch arranged for that date could beput forward a week.—lt was decided thatnominations for places in this match mustbe forwarded by July 18.

A request by the rector of the Pal-merston North Boys’ High School thatthe match between his school and TeAute College, at Palmerston North, onJune 20, be declared a Moascar Cupmatch was acceded to.

In confirming acceptance of the NewZealand Union’s invitation to send a teamto New Zealand in 1930, Mr S. F. Cooper,secretary of the English Rugby FootballUnion, wrote as follows;—“My commit-tee met on April 13 and your cablegramwas read to it. It was unanimously de-cided to accept your kind invitation andthat the Rugby Union should itself under-take to send a team to New Zealand, andit was hoped that the tour could in-clude some matches in New South Wales.The assembly arrangements would prob-ably be placed in the hands of MessrsT. 11. Horner and Co.. 418 Strand. Lon-don, W.C. 2, who also ably conductedthe tours of the New Zealand team in1924, the Maoris in 1925, the Argentinetour in 1927, and the New South Walesteam in 1927-28. I feel sure that theywould bo glad to offer their services ifit would be helpful to your union. TheRugby Union Committee was itself dis-appointed that the International Boardwas unable to accept your previous in-vitation. It fully realises the importanceof sending a team, and every effort willbe made to collect a representative side.”

MILLIONTH CASE OF FRUIT.

PRESENTATION TO ROYALTY.

LOYAL GREETINGS ON LABEL,

(Special to Daily Times.)WELLINGTON, June 6.

Considerable interest attaches to theshipment to-morrow of the millionth caseof fruit to be exported this season, whichwill form part of the shipment now beingloaded by the Shaw, Savill, and Albionliner Tamaroa. It is the intention of theFruit Export Control Board of the Fruit-growers’ Federation that the millionthcase shall be presented either to theDuchess of York or the Prince of Wales.

It is an ordinary case of apples graded“ extra fancy,” but it will bear severaldistinctive labels. The identity of theactual producer and shipper is not dis-closed by the usual number or other mark.The top of the case will carry a speciallabel of silver-edged black satin with afern and the words “New Zealandprinted in silver. On the two sides ofthe case will be specially-printed colouredlabels of distinctive design bearing theinscription “New Zealand’s millionthcase.” The usual standard labels carriedby every case of exported fruit have beenvaried. They will both carry the usualdecorative design in rich colours with thewords “New Zealand apples, extra fancyand the Dominion badge of a fern leafover-printed with the rmine

‘ New Zea-land" One label will carry the addi-tional words “ With loyal greetings fromNew Zealand fruitgrowers,” and the otherthe following inscription;—Growth ofoverseas fruit trade—Year 1908, cases ex-ported, 1236; 1912, 14,869; 1916, 19,264;1920, 34,585; 1924, 243,429; 1928, 1,018,000.

The millionth case will doubtless receivedue publicity when it reaches London, andthe special labelling will make it a veryfine advertisement for Dominion fruit. Itis understood that the presenting of thecase to the member of the Royal Family

who accepts the gift will be in the handsof the High Commissioner for New Zea-land in London.

At the inquest on the body of LeslieHarold Jones, aged 3 years, who diedfrom injuries as the result of a collisionbetween a motor van in which he wasriding and a tramcar on Broadway, Mira-mar, on March 19, the Coroner, Mr E.Page. S.M., returned an open verdict thatthe deceased died from injuries receivedthrough the motor vehicle on which hewas riding colliding with a tramcar.So far as the officers o fthe City Cor-poration were concerned there had beenno neglect of duty Prior to the smashthe tram was in good order.

Senior Sergeant Butler, who appearedfor the police, said he proposed immedi-ately to charge Harrv Robert Smith, thedriver of the van, with negligent drivingso as to cause the death of the child.

Counsel for Smith objected to thecharge being immediately preferred,stating that the evidence at the inquestwas not such as should he used at acourt hearing.

Senior Sergeant Butler explained thathis reason was to save witnesses hav-ing to give evidence again in the lowercourt. They could syear on evidencejust given.

Counsel again objected, and it was de-rided that the matter bp referred to thePolice Department and that the charge,if ;t were to he laid, should be laidin the usual wav.

CARRIAGE OF LUGGAGE.

PRACTICE AMONG TAXI DRIVERS

A CONVICTION RECORDED.

(Special to Daily Times.)CHRISTCHURCH, June 6.

The practice of taxi drivers carryingluggage without passengers was the sub-ject of a case heard in the Magistrate’sCourt to-day before Mr IL P. Lawry,S.M., when Joseph Dyer was chargedwith driving an unlicensed motor van.Mr C. S. Thomas, who prosecuted, char-acterised the case as an important one, inthat its effects would be far-reaching,“Carriers have been objecting to taxis

being used in carriers’ carts,” said MrThomas. “Taxis are used as cartswithout having licenses for the work. Itcertainly seems that licensed carriershave every right to complain. They havebeen invited by the authorities to get aruling by the court on the question oftaxis carrying luggage without passen-gers. A taxi cab is defined as anyvehicle plying for hire for the conveyanceof passengers, and a motor van is anyvehicle plying for hire for the conveyanceof goods, luggage, or merchandise. Theby-law on the point is as follows:—‘ Noperson shall own or drive any cab, motorcar, omnibus, motor coach, van, or motorvan unless such vehicle is licensed in themanner prescribed.’ Under the by-lawthere is nothing to permit a taxi to carryluggage. Of course, to say that taxiscould carry no luggage at all would befar too narrow an interpretation; butthe objection has sprung up through taximen carrying luggage and no passengers.

The Magistrate: If I hire a 1 cab andput my luggage on it, and then prefer towalk, paying the same fare, what then?

Mr Thomas: Then you would be usingit as a van.

The Magistrate: Supposing I ride halfway and walk the rest?

Mr Thomas: Then the taxi driverwould, we contend, have to register as acarrier. It is submitted that if you ringfor a taxi to take a portmanteau, andthe driver is without you on any portionof the journey he is acting as a carrier.Taxi men all over the town are doing thissort of thing without any of the restric-tions imposed on the legitimate carriers.

Several carriers gave evidence as tohaving seen Dyer driving with his taxiloaded with luggage and carrying no pas-sengers.

Dyer gave his explanation of the speci-fic instance. Two Salvation Army offi-cers. he said, came from Auckland, andtheir luggage was not properly cheekedthrough. They went to Sumner, andlater in the day witness called back atthe station for their luggage. He hadnever taken luggage unless he had pas-sengers first. It wa; a common thingfor taxi drivers to do.

The Magistrate: Cannot a carrier doit more cheaply? .

Dyer; No. People find the taxischeaper.

Mr Thomas; Do you mean to say that

a taxi would be cheaper than a horsecarrier?—Quite possibly.

How did the Army officers go to Sum-ner?—By car.

Exactly how?—Well, by tramcar.The Magistrate: Now that puts an en-

tirely different complexion on the case.Mr Stacey (for the defence) agreed.

He also had been under the impressionthat Dyer had first taken them as passen-gers to Sumner.

Dyer was convicted and ordered to paycosts. ,

Mr Thomas did not press for anypenalty, saying that all that was wantedwas a definition of the principle.

NO MONEY FOR FRILLS.

Teaching of. home science.

THE MINISTER’S CRITICISM.

(Special to Daily Times.)WELLINGTON, June 6.

“I see on your order paper somethingabout home science being a compulsorysubject for junior free places, said MrR. A. Wright (Minister of Education)when addressing this morning theCouncil of Education.

“I may be a voice crying in the wil-

derness or hopelessly out of date, butfor the life of me I cannot Bee whatis hoped to be gained by it. What isthe use of making chemists of the chil-

dren’ To teach them plain cookery is

well enough, but for frills we have nomoney, and to teach themm about thevalue of various foods seems to me togo too far. There may be some othervalue in this home science teaching, butI cannot see it.”

The Minister pointed out that 7o

per cent, of the girls being taught homescience would marry a man cai ning £o aweek or less. The wife, in those con-ditions, especially when there was a

large family, would not worry aboutthe° relative vitamin value of peas andbeans. What she would ho concernedwith would bo the making of the moneygo as far as possible. “I know becauseI have been through it as perhaps someof you have,” added the Minister.

The other 25 per cent., he went on tosay, would marry men with larger in-comes. In these cases they would em-ploy kelp, and in these days no mistresswould dare to talk to her cook aboutthe chemistry of cooking. If she didit would be “ To pot with your science,”and the probable loss of the cook.

HIS MAJESTY’S THEATRE.“MERCENARY MARY.”

A house crowded to the doors greetedthe performance of “Mercenary Mary,”by the London Musical Comedy Companyat Hi's Majesty’s Theatre last night. Thebrightness of the play, with its sparklinghumour and comical situations, elicitedthe heartiest laughter; the choruses andthe accompanying ballets were applaudedto the echo, and the extremely prettysettings were voted to be among the mostattractive ever seen in the city. Thevocal solos and duets were rendered in amanner that met with unanimous appre-ciation. Miss Elsie Prince, in the namepart, was always a welcome figure on thestage. Mr Jimmy Godden and Mr Charl-ton Morton upheld their respective roleswith their characteristic ability, and valu-able assistance in presenting the playwas also given by Miss Nellie Dean, MrPhil Kennedy, Mr Royston M'Donald, MrLeonard Rich, and other members of thecompany.

“Mercenary Mary ” will be repeatedthis evening.

THE GAMING ACT.

AUCKLAND PROSECUTIONS.

THREE BOOKMAKERS FINED.

(Special to Daily Times. 1AUCKLAND, June 6.

In the city and suburbs this morningdetectives were bus}', and as a result oftheir morning’s work the ConsolidatedFund will benefit to the extent of £l9O.At 11 a.m. Chief Detective Hammond,accompanied by Detective Moon, paid avisit to the Union Buildings in Customsstreet east, and there arrested WilliamAlfred Mackay and James Edward Bur-tenshaw. Both appeared at the PoliceCourt immediately after their arrest,Mackay pleading guilty to a charge ofkeeping a common gaining house in theUnion Buildings, and Burtenshaw to acharge of assisting him.

Chief Detective Hammond stated thatboth accused had been convicted ofsimilar offences before. Mackay hadlast year been fined £75, and Burten-shaw some time ago £4O. Both wereable to pay fines, being in a good way.

Mr Hunt said he would do the sameas last time, and he fined Mackay £75and Burtenshaw £4O.

Mackay: Can I have until to-morrowmorning to pay?

Mr Hunt: Certainly.While the other detectives were work-

ing in the city Detective E. Nalder wasvisiting Papakura this morning. Hewas successful in making a 10s bet onLady Cintra in the first race at Ellerslieto-day, and 10s on Bourne in the secondrace, both bets being accepted by CharlesHoward Chamberlain. Immediatelyafterwards the detective disclosed hisidentity and arrested Chamberlain ona charge of carrying on the business of abookmaker.

After the accused had driven thedetective to the court he was broughtbefore Mr Hunt, and pleaded guilty tothe charge.

Detective Sergeant Kelly reminded themagistrate that in April of lost yearChamberlain had appeared in court ona similar charge, when he was fined£75. The accused had continued hisoperations on a fairly large scale inPapakura. Bookmakin'g was his onlyoccupation. One thing in his favourwas that he had pleaded guilty, andhad saved a lot of trouble.

“ That is so,” said Mr Hunt, “ and itwill be taken into consideration.”

Chamberlain was fined £75.Just to show that there was no ill-

feeling Chamberlain drove the policeofficers back to the police station in hiscar.

AN IMPROPER ACTION.

LETTER TO A JUDGE.

STRONG COMMENT BY HISHONOR,

(Special to Daily Times.)AUCKLAND, Juno 6.

The impropriety of approaching ajudge privately regarding a case beforehim was emphasised in the SupremeCourt to-day. “Do you know this sig-nature’” asked Mr Justice Blair in hand-ing a letter to David E. Duthoit, a Hamil-ton witness, who was giving evidence ina defended divorce case.

“ Yes, it is my wife’s,” said witness.“I thought jt would be so from the

similarity of the names,” said his Honor.His Honor said the letter was an

attempt by the lady who had signed it toprejudice him as far as that case wasconcerned. It was highly improper.The letter said that a certain case wasto come before him, and that he had tomake certain allowances for the man con-cerned in it. In this letter, which wasaddressed to his Honor, was a sealed en-velope containing the name of the manreferred to. “Of course, I did not openit,” said his Honor. “I have been ableto recognise the case referred to onlybecause of the similarity of the names.

The witness said he knew nothing ofthe letter. His wife was not acquaintedwith legal procedure.

His Honor said he would require totake further action in regard to this.People must not attempt to interfere withthe administration of justice. Whetherit was done with the best of intentions orthe worst of intentions did not matter.It made the matter very difficult for him.

The witness and his counsel again dis-claimed all knowledge of the letter.

MARRIED WOMEN TEACHERS.

must be safeguarded.

STATEMENT BY MINISTER.

(Special to Daily Times.)WELLINGTON, June 6.

In the settling of the vexed question ofthe employment of married womenteachers no injustice must be done tothose at present so engaged. This pointwas emphasised by the Minister of Educa-tion (Mr R. A. Wright) in the courseof his opening address before the Councilof Education to-day. “Some of theboards,” said the Minister, “have beenasking for some considerable time for dis-cretionary power in regard to the em-ployment of married women teachers.This is a highly controversial subject,andthere is a wide difference of opinion evenamong educationists as to the solution ofthe problem, but whatever suggestionsmay be made for settling the questionthere must be no injustice done to themarried women at present employed bythe boards. It is true there are oddcases where a married woman is receiv-ing a large salary as a teacher while herhusband is doing the same in that or someother profession. That is what causedthe outcry against the employment ofmarried women teachers. There are othercases, however, where married women areteacliing in the schools while their hus-bands arc either in ill-health or unable toearn a livelihood. No exception can betaken to those cases.”

THE SCHOOL SYLLABUS.

COMPLAINT BY MR J. R. KIRK.

COUNCIL OF EDUCATION IGNORED.

(Per United Press Association.)WELLINGTON, June 0.

“We might as well be wiped out ofexistence if we are treated in this man-ner,” declared Mr J. R. Kirk (Gisborne)at to-day’s meeting of the Council ofEducation. He was speaking about thedeletion from the order paper of somevomits sent forward about the newsyllabus. He said that the councilhad not been directly represented onthe Syllabus Revision ' Committee. Ithad simply been ignored, which showedthe view held of it by the Departmentof Education.

The Assistant Director of Education,Mr A. Bell, who was in the chair, saidthat there were four or five members ofthe council on the Revision Committee,and there had been no intention to slightthe council. He suggested that thecouncil should go on to the next busi-ness.

Mr Kirk; Well, I have uttered myprotest. We were not directly repre-sented. We were ignored and shouldnot have been.—(“ Hear, hear.”)

SCOTTISH CONCERT.

The entertainment given last night atBurns Hall was of an unusually agreeablecharacter, and few of those who throngedto the doors were in any way dis-appointed. The programme consistedmainly of musical items of variousnational kinds, pleasantly diversifieditems by talented dancers.

Before the commencement of the pro-gramme Mr J. W. Young, the presidentof the Otago Centre, made a short speechthanking all those present for their sup-port. He went on to advise the audiencethat the next concert would be distin-guished by the presence of Miss MargaretAitken, a noted singer of Gaelic songs.After the speaker had told a few storiesof purely national character, the proceed-ings were opened by the Albany StreetSchool Band. Mr Hanna, the director,has raised the general spirit of the boysto a high pitch, and their selections werereceived with enthusiastic applause.

The songs were in most cases finelyexecuted, and all the performers wererecalled. Mr Les Dailey's light tenorvoice was heard to advantage in“Afton Water,” “Take Thou This Rose,”and “Bonny Mary of Argyle.” He alsosang “A Farewell.” However, MissMabel Ksquilant’s contributions wereeasily the most popular of the evening.She sang “My Nannie’s Awa’,” and, inmore exciting vein. “ Hail Caledonia.”This was followed later in the eveningby “Scots Wha Hae,” sung in MissEsquilant’s own inimitable style. MrsRule, who was well received, renderedsuch favourite numbers as “Comm’Through the Rye ” and the “EriskayLove Lilt.” In both sections of the pro-gramme she was recalled. Mr Mackenzie,a versatile singer, gave the “ Laird o’Cockpcn ” and “ The MacGregors’ Gather-ing.”

Miss Madge Yates shone in her twosparkling recitations, and the audiencedemanded two recalls from her.

Although the dancing items formedonly a small section of the programme,the performers certainly demonstratedtheir fine quality. Miss R. King's reelparty was received with the usual Scot-tish acclamations, and Miss O. Scottdanced a faultless seantreaus. The ac-companist of the evening was Miss Newcy.

THE TIMBER INDUSTRY.SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION.

(Special to Daily Times.)CHRISTCHURCH, June 6.

“The timber industry has never beenin such a bad position as it is in to-day,”said Mr \V illiam Goss, a timber mer-chant, in giving evidence in the Arbitra-tion Court to-day. Mr Goss said thatsince 1861 he had never known such a de-pression in the trade as there was to-day.The competition was keener than everbefore. The sawmillers were competingwith the timber firms.

This opinion was endorsed by Mr H.J. Otley, a timber merchant, who latergave evidence.

Mr E. Parlane, union secretary, whoappeared in support of an application bythe workers for an increase in wages, en-deavoured to throw further light on thequestion. “You people have alwayskept an eye on the profits,” he said.

“ I wish I had the profits to keep aneye on,” said Mr Goss.

Mr Parlane: When you had your pros-perous times you did not give the menincreased wages.—We considered that themen were being paid proper wages asfixed by the award.“ In other words, you made the mini-

mum the maximum,” said Mr Parlane.“ Th'y’-eason why a. wage was fixed was

that the workers got together and de-manded higher wages. W> had then toform our own union,” replied Mr Goss.

Despite the number of counter-attrac-tions existing in the city last eveningthere was another very large crowd atthe carnival conducted by the LabourParty in the Kensington Drill HalL Theusual stalls and competitions were in fullswing, and all were accorded a very largeamount of patronage. The last round ofthe nonce boxing tournament was staged,and attracted a great deal of attention,hough the onlookers were not so numer-ous as was the case the previous evening.In an exhibition bout between Wilkinsonand Olsen, Wilkinson stopped a rightswing in the last round, and was knockedout. T. Webber and Parker also figuredin an exhibition contest, some good fight-ing being witnessed. The bantam-weight and light-weight finals were de-cided, the former fight providing a goodexhibition of the art Mr P. Torrie actedas referee, and the judges were MessrsD. Paterson, H. Bowie, S. Brown, andWilson. The results were as follow:— 1

BANTAM-WEIGHT FINAL.R. Richards (8.4) v. J. Donaldson

(8.0).Richards opened the fighting, but Don-

aldson was quick on his feet, and madehim miss badly once or twice. Gettinginto close quarters the two boys poundedeach other for a few seconds, and as theybroke away Donaldson landed a goodright to the jqw. Richards was aggres-sive till the end of lie round, but Don-aldson out-boxed him, and escaped with-out much punishment. Soon after thebeginning of the second round the boysgot into dose quarters again, and Onbreaking away Donaldson landed a niceright to his opponent's face. Richardsretaliated by resorting to in-fighting, andbored away at the other boy’s body, onlyto stop another heavy right on the ear.For a few seconds the boys sparred cau-tiously, and then Donaldson shook hisopponent with a straight left to the jaw.The round ended with Donaldson in thelead. In the last round Richards foughthard to make up leeway, but DonaldsonT sspeed on his feet caused the aggressorto miss badly and often. • Donaldson,scored repeatedly with his left, and con-tinued to out-box the other boy, whosetiming was poor all through to the doseof the bout Donaldson was awarded awell-deserved win.

LIGHT-WEIGHT FINAL.L. Chettleburgh (9.10) v. G. Campbell

(9.8).The first round was uneventful, Camp-

bell swung wildly and succeeded in land-ing very few blows. Chettleburgh boxedmore quietly, and got home with one ortwo lefts, but the round as a whole wasvery tame. The second round was foughtat a faster pace. Chettleburgh madethe fighting for a short time, and droveCampbell into a corner, raining blowson his head and body. Campbell brokeaway and landed one or two heavy rightsand lefts that shook his opponent. Theboys then quietened down, and theround finished tamely. The last roundwas a poor exhibition. Campbell did allthe leading, but neither boy got goingproperly, and the fight finished veryquietly. Campbell was awarded thedecision.

TUG-OF-WAR.Another round of the tug-of-war was

decided during the evening, and resultedas follows:—Port Chalmers A beatLogan Park; Port Chalmers B beatWoodhaugh; Rattrays and Faulkners atic; City Corporation beat AlhambraFootball’Club; Powleys beat Burts;North End Boating Club a bye. Burtsand Alhambra are now out of the com-petition.

MENACE TO DAIRYINDUSTRY.

CONTROL FACED WITH CRISIS.

ADDRESS BY MR GROUNDS.

Mr W. Grounds, chairman of the DairyProduce Board, spoke at the annual meet-ing of the South, Island Association yester-day afternoon on the trouble which hasarisen between himself and another mem-ber of the board, Mr Goodfellow, of theNew Zealand Co-operative Dairy Com-pany. Mr Grounds, who spoke for closeon an hour, dealt with the conflictingopinions between himself and his co-member, and said that the dairy industrywas facing a crisis. He said that thepoliticians, the press, and financial inter-ests were joined against the ProduceBoard, and that he had fought strenu-ously to justify the trust placed in himby the dairymen.

Mr Grounds said that the spectacularresignation by Mr W. Goodfellow fromthe board might have induced them tothink that the crisis had developed as aresult of that resignation. That was notso. Grave complexities and difficulties,aiming at the dismemberment of theboard, had, however, occurred somemonths before. The speaker went on torefer to the fact that Mr Goodfellow hadretained his seat on the board, notwith-standing that he was a director of a rivalselling organisation, and said that heshould not have retained his seat. Hethought Mr Goodfellow’s resignation hadbeen belated. Caustic criticism wasmade regarding Mr Goodfelow retaininghis seat on the board, the allegation beingthat as Mr Goodfellow was not onlv amember of the board, but a member of arival selling agency, he had placed theboard in a very invidious position. MrGrounds said it might be possible in viewof the crisis that was forced by the plac-ing of the details in a brief way in hisreport in April that Mr Goodfellowthought he could bluff through, and byendeavouring to secure support from vari-ous quarters could give strength to theidea that the industry was at variancewith the course taken by the board. Hebelieved that it was not an unusual pro-cedure for a gambled to beck over thetable and call names, but that proceduredid not win the game. It was duo tothe industry that they should knowthe whole particulars connected with thematter as far as it was possible tocondense them in a short address. Inspeaking in Auckland recently he de-scribed Mr Goodfellow’s statement, whichhad been circulated in the Exporter andthe daily press, as a tissue of contradic-tions, inaccuracies, misrepresentations, andminor imbecilities. These criticisms ap-peared to have been effective, becausetwo days later the New Zealand DairyCompany, in making a statement on thematter, indicated that it had appointeda committee, consisting of Mr Fulton andMr Sterling, to draw up a statement onits behalf. Mr Fulton had issued a state-ment, and they would probably havenoticed that he did not deal very effec-tively with the matter. Possibly he wouldbo retired in favour of his coadjutor mthe preparation of a statement. Hfe pro-posed to deal with Mr Goodfellow’s andMr , Fulton’s statements because it wasimperative that this matter should beanalysed from every point of view, andto give the general position of the boarddealing with the various matters that hadbeen before it. Air Goodfellow had madetwo statements. In the first he empha-sised the necessity for a national organi-sation to control the marketing of pro-duce. In that statement he said it wasnecessary for the producers generally tobe educated to realise the necessity forthat organisation. In the other statementhe admitted the board’s limited controlscheme of the past season as being a policyonly preliminary to the establishment ofa national organisation. One would havethought that anything that would serveas a preliminary to the establishment ofthe fuller control would have been appre-ciated by Air Goodfellow. Mr Good-fellow said the board was too expensiveand that the expenses should be cut down.That argument was very likely to appealto the dairy farmer, who generally countedthe costs first. There was no body somuch responsible for the expenses of theboard being out of harmony with itsachievements as the New Zealand Co-operative Company, which had been tryingto restrict the operations of the board.The board was established to give ser-vice to the industry, and that should beits first objective. Therefore lie mam-tained that if the board had been stulti-fied in the giving of the service that itmight easily have given, that was a pointthat needed first attention. He hopedto prove that there was a proposal beforethe board whereby eventually greater ser-vice would be given to the industry. AirGoodfellow contended that the boardshould go in for an “all-or-nothingpolicy. He (Air Grounds) had just chal-lenged that. Under present circumstancesa whole-control policy was absolutely im-possible. Present conditions made it im-possible for the board to contemplateabsolute control or price-fixing and pool-ing, and if the board was not able torender modified service itnould not renderthe .whole service involved under absolutecontrol, and consequently an “all-or-nothing ” policy involved nothing. AirGoodfellow had proposed that the l?oardshould be reduced to six members—fourfor the North Island and two for theSouth Island. To the speaker's mind thatseemed to suggest the possibility of AirGoodfellow's company being able to electtwo of the four North Island members,and consequently the probability of itbeing able to exercise even greater powerthan normally with a debilitated board.

It had been insinuated against him thathe had been pursuing a policy contraryto the policy of the board. The licenseconditions under which factories had beenoperating during the past season had beenarranged last August, and had been finallyapproved by the board. In December amotion had been brought forward by amember of the board that certain of theseconditions be rescinded. That motion hadbeen defeated by eight votes to four votes.This showed that a majority of the boardwas still of thp one mind regarding thelicensing conditions. Then in Alarch,when a report regarding the non-supplyof information by certain factories hadbeen considered, it had been decided bythe board by eight votes to two votesthat the information must be supplied.It had been prior to that meeting thathe had written his review for the Ex-porter, and he would say at once thathe would not, after all these months, alterone word of it, having a regard to theinterests of truth and accuracy.— (Ap-plause.) The policy presented by himat the meeting in Rotorua last year hadbeen approved by an overwhelmingmajority. The speaker Glealt with thef.o.b. sales, and said that as regarded thecharge of excessive cost of the board itwas better to extend their service thanto cut down their costs. The expensesthis year would be abnormal, because theyhad to bring forward the expenses fromthe cleaning up of control. The limita-tion of service by the board had beenmainly due to the rival selling organise-tions restricting the operations of theboard, thus giving the opportunity tocriticise the board’s expenditure in com-parison with the service rendered. AirGoodfellow had made a point that theNew Zealand Dairy Company was theonly company selling to the Ji<ast, and thatconsequently any declaration of his f.o.b.sales would give away information to in-terested parties, but they were not of in-terest to any other parties, seeing theywere not operating on these lines.

Air Grounds stated that the license con-ditions were framed by the board alongthe lines of the Australian license condi-tions when the board asked for absolutecontrol. It was finally decided to adopta system of modified control underlicenses such as were issued in Australia.The Order-in-Counci 1 laid it down thatlicenses should be issued by the Alinis-ter, based on the recommendations ofthe board, and under conditions laiddown by the board; consequently theboard was quite within its rights instipulating the conditions. The boarddid not recommend the Alinister to issuelicenses until every company had signedan acceptance of the conditions. Thelicense so far as the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company was concernedwas signed on September 26—soon afterthe request to sign the form was sent out.Air Goodfellow stated that it was signedduring his absence. If ho were absent itwas only temporarily, because he hadbeen in touch with his business through-out the whole period. On November 24Air Goodfellow raised a general objectionto the license conditions. That was prac-tically two months after his chairman ofdirectors had signed the acceptance. Nopressure, was brought to bear upon theNew Zealand Co-operative Dairy Com-pany. Late in November an intimationwas received that five companies had re-fused to sign the acceptance, but the New

Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company hadsent forward its acceptance as promptlyas most of the other companies.

There were a lot of minor points inMr Goodfellow’s reply over which heshould run briefly. There were a lot ofmen present who, like himself, were asso-ciated with the control movement fromthe start, and the suggestion that he hadbeen attracted at the eleventh hour toundertake the responsibility which he hadundertaken was quite contrary to fact.Those who were present at the early meet-ings knew that he attended the firstmeeting in Wellington, when a smallcommittee was set up to find a solutionof the problem relating to voting power.The conference got quite enthusiasticwhen the committee reported that a solu-tion had been found. Mr Goodfellow hadalso said that he had made no effort toestablish a committee after he had ac-cepted the responsibility of chairman ofthe original dairy committee set up. Thiswas a definite misrepresentation. Hehad done his best to get the acceptanceof the council, because he thought it wasthe best plan, and he still thought so.It had been fear of the Waikato andthe Waikato leadership that had beenresponsible for the dissension regardingthe council system. The speaker deniedMr Goodfellow’s allegation that he hadformed a surreptitious attachment tomfembers of the.Labour Party, and saidhe challenged Mr Goodfellow to declarehis own connection with certain mattersin the same quarter. He had not yetreceived a reply, but silence was notgoing to be preserved, even if an answerwas not forthcoming.— (Applause.) MrGrounds then proceeded to criticise theactions of Mr Fulton, of the New Zea-land Dairy Company. Mr Fulton, in

company with the secretary, had signedthe license conditions, and at the meet-ing of the National Dairy Association at

Rotorua last year, when the question ofthe re-issue of promissory notes wasunder discussion, he made a proposal thatif the conference would adopt a methodof computation of the responsibility ofvarious factories on the basis he sug-gested his company would Supply itsquota. That appeared to have beenturned down immediately: consequentlythose two instances might legitimatelybe taken as a guide to the policy proce-dure of the Amalgamated Dairies. Thesecomments adequately met the pointswhich Mr Fulton had raised in his reply.

Mr Grounds said the matter had beencausing him concern for many months.He alluded briefly to the possibility ofdifficulties in his review last December,and said he had studied ways of avoid-ing a public display of different opinionsbecause of the possible disruption in theindustry, but lip maintained that theposition had reached the stage thatnothing could clear it up but an indica-tion to the industry of the actual state ofaffairs so that those concerned could de-

cide the actual issue behind this dismem-berment of the board. '

There was one point to which_ hewished to draw attention because it indi-cated an overshadewing menace whicnshould be known to those engaged in theindustry. The board decided last Januaryto ship promptly all butter received uptill the end of that month. That policywas followed, and the Waikato interestswere more responsible than any other forthat decision being arrived at. Thespeaker said he still held the view thatcertain supplies should be held back fromthe main production period, and that theboard should not aim at high prices ona speculative basis all the time. InFebruary, Mr Goodfellow stated that,owing to abnormally heavy shipments inJanuary, prices had slumped. That, tothe speaker’s mind, was an implicationthat the board was responsible for theshipments, but. as a matter of fact, itwas the Waikato interests that led theboard into that position, and there wasno justification for the implication thatthe board had led them to that conclu-sion. When the slump in prices camethe Waikato interests immediately can-celled their shipping space, which hadbeen arranged for the quantities it wasestimated they would have for shipment.The board had to. give a definite instruc-tion eight weeks ahead of the space re-quired, and consequently the cancella-tion at the last minute of space for 35,000boxes of butter would have placed it inconsiderable difficulty. Owing to droughtconditions, however, the meat interestswere anxious to get space, and thus thedifficulty was overcome. He drew atten-tion to this point because shortly after-wards prices rapidly improved on theLondon market, and an immediate appli-cation was put in for the restoration ofthe cancelled space. The people re-sponsible, however, were told that theymust take their place at the back of thequeue. The cancellation took the matterout of their hands, and the butter didnot go back on the list for export untilit was re-declared, and then it wasgraded. If the board had conceded thedemand made all the small factorieswould have been shut out.

In conclusion, the speaker said that theindustry was faced With a seriousmenace. He had thought it necessary forsome one to bell the cat, and when thetime came there had been no doubt inhis mind who was to do it. There hadbeen intrigue right from start to finish.He had held inviolate the trust imposedon him by the dairy farmers. If theywoke up and endeavoured to combat thedifficulties then they would defeat thetremendous efforts of the politician, thepress, and the financial powers to usurpthe control of the industry. The re-sponsibility was upon them, and if theydid not waken up they might find thecontrol had gone beyond their grasp.—(Loud applause.)

It was decided, on the motion of MrJohn Caird, seconded by Mr G. R. Her-ron, to accord the speaker a hearty vote

; of thanks and to express the desire thatho should be retained as chairman ofthe board.

The motion was carried by acclamationand the singing of “For He’s a JollyGood Fellow.”

AGRICULTURAL TRAINING

WORK IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS.PRESENT SYSTEAI INSUFFICIENT.

(Special to Daily Times.)WELLINGTON, June 6.

■ “ The organisation of agricultural in-struction in the primary schools still givesthe department great cause for dissatis-faction. So long as the staff of instruc-tors is so lyvdly distributed as at present,and so long as the instructors are boards’officers, it will be impossible to organisethe work in such a way as to obtain fhemaximum results.”

This declaration was made in a state-ment presented to the Council of Educa-tion to-day on behalf of the Director ofEducation (Air T. B. Strong). Accordingto Air Strong, Auckland has three in-structors for 65,000 pupils, Taranaki threefor 12,000, Wanganui three for 17,000,Hawke’s Bay two for 16,000, Wellingtonthree for 26,000. Nelson one for 7000, Can-terbury three for 36,000, Otago throe for21,000, and Southland one for 12,000.

Such an unequal distribution of staffmakes it impossible to get the best re-sults, declared Air Strong. Certain dis-tricts, in comparison with others, aremuch over-staffed, yet it is impossible forthe department to persuade tile boards toallow an instructor to be transferred to adistrict more in need of help than theirown. The result of this over-staffing insome districts is that many more visitsare paid to some schools than are reallyneeded. In some cases no fewer than 10to 15 visits have been paid by an instruc-tor to the same school in the course of ayear, while in other districts many schoolsare not visited at all. Further, if the in-structors were directly under the controlof the senior inspector and had to carryout the policy laid down by the depart-ment much more effective work wouldbe done.

At present, added Air Strong, there isa tendency to praise unduly such visibleevidence of the instructors’ activities asare indicated by beautiful school groundsand well-kept, gardens, whereas the de-partment, although not ignoring the im-portance of these matters, would preferto lay stress on the more scientific as-pects of the work. However, the matteris one in which the department is help-less, the boards having strongly opposedthe proposal that the agricultural instruc-tors should become departmental offi-cers.

- The first man to invent a practicalsystem of taking kinematograph films forcommercial or other purposes was thelate Mr W. Fricsc-Greene. an Englishman,commonly called the “ father of kinema-fography,” who in ISBD took out a patentfor a kinematograph camera, using a con-tinuous strip of sensitised celluloid withperforated margins.

TUAPEKA WEST PRESBY-TERIANS.

A church social was held in the Tua-peka .West School on the evening of Wed-nesday last, Mr Knight presiding overa large attendance of members and theirfriends. Mrs Wright (Lawrence) wasthe pianist for the occasion.

In his opening remarks the Chairmanstated that the financial proceeds werein aid of the church schemes, and, mak-ing an earnest plea on their behalf, hestressed thd-importance of contributingas a congregation to, the limit of theirability, so that . the present strain inregard to finance might pass and thatin consequence the work of the churchmight go on unhampered both at homeand abroad. He also referred withmingled - feelings to the probability ofthe Rev. Mr Dow’s early departure fromLawrence, and voiced the sentiments ofall present at the prospect of his leav-ing, which would mean a severe loss notalone to Lawrence but to the whole dis-trict.

The Kev. - Mr Dow emphasised andsupplemented the chairman’s remarksconcerning the present condition of thefunds and‘the' clamant need for theirreplenishment in order that the missionwork might be successfully prosecuted.Regarding Mr Knight’s remarks relativeto the,interest, he had always taken inthe parish, he was glad to be able totestify that his official connection withit as moderator had always been a plea-sant, one. As'to what had been saidabout the likelihood of his removal fromLawrence, he could not speak with cer-tainty as the Presbytery had not yetspoken. However, should that court seefit, to put the call from Timaru into hishands he would consider it his duty toaccept it.‘Mr Dalziel briefly proposed a compre-

hensive vote of thanks to all who hadassisted, in the success of the function—-making special mention of the splendidhelp of Mr Dow and party from Law-rence.■Other items on the programme were

follow: Instrumental duet (piano),Masses E. and D. Bulfin; vocal duets,Messrs Dow and King and Misses Bul-fih (Konini) ; 'cello solos, Mr Robilliard;recitation, the Rev. Mr Knight; cornetsolos, Mr Petit; songs, Miss Stewart andMessrs Dow, Parkin, Robilliard andKing.

3lias Helen Fraser, a young Scots-woman, has estimated that on an aver-age 10 matches are used each day byeycry person in the United Kingdom.A»i at least one out of every 10 of thosematches is wasted by not being cor-rectly struck, nearly 50,000,000 matches,worth nearly £SOOO, are, she concludes,thrown away in a year. “Look,” MissFraser said, giving a demonstration inan interview with a journalist: “It’s sosimple. Hold the match between thetljjumb and the second finger, with thefirst finger at the back of the match.Strike firmly and gently, but over avary tiny portion of the striking surface.The majority strike their matches overfdr too big an area. If this method weremore generally adopted, there would befar fewer match heads wasted.”

CHARGES AGAINST MOTORIST.James Maxwell Mullin was charged in

the Magistrate’s Court at Oamaru yes-terday before Mr H. W. Bundle. S.M., ontwo counts—(1) That at Oamaru on June1, while in a state of intoxication, he wasin charge of a motor car in a publicplace; (2) that on the same date he diddrive a motor car along Thames street,Oamaru, in a manner having regard to allthe circumstances, that might be danger-ous. Sergeant Peterson prosecuted, andMr Ivan Hjorring appeared for the de-fendant.

, it .~

Sergeant Peterson stated that thecharges arose out of the defendant havingknocked down two members of the Salva-tion Army with his car on Friday nightlast. ....

Albert Hill, painter, stated that ne wasa member of the Salvation Army Band,and was playing with the band in Thamesstreet on Friday night, opposite thePoly-technic. The plan produced showed theposition. When witness first saw defend-ant’s car it was about the centre of thestreet, and was going south. It was thenabout 10ft from the ring, and was turn-ing towards the band. The car strucktwo members of the band, and they fell.One member (Simon) was struck by theradiator, and the other (Burgess) by themudguards. Both the injured were at-tended to. and witness went for a doctor.Witness saw the defendant get out ofthe car, but noticed nothing particular,about him. . . ,

To Mr Hjorring: The car was travel-ling at about 15 miles an hour, when itswerved towards the ring. The band hadjust commenced to play "tvben the car ap-

preached.,

, , ,

Walter Ineson, employed by Bullieds,Ltd., stated that on Friday evening hewas walking from north to south alongthe east side of Thames street. The Sal-vation Army B.and had just commencedto play. Witness saw no traffic in thestreet. He saw members of the SalvationArmy fall over, and he next observed acar in the middle of the ring. He sawBurgess and Simon reeling over. Therewas confusion, and witness thought some-body was under the wheel. Somebodyshouted, “Who’s in the car?” Witnesslooked through the curtain, and saw thedefendant. The defendant had his handon the wheel, and appeared to be aboutto start the car. Witness told people tolook out. Mr White asked witness tostop the car. Mr White then got in thecar and sat beside the defendant. Ihedefendant got out, and got back into thecar again. White said that nobody wasto move the car until the police arrived.When witness first saw the defendant heappeared to be dozey, and when he wentaway with the police he seemed to be un-steady in his gait. Witness did not speakto the defendant.

To Mr Hjorring: When the car pulledup, it was on the outer side of the ring,near a harmonium. Witness could seethe defendant through the celluloid cur-tain. He was of opinion that the de-fendant was going to drive the car. MrWhite waved a whisky bottle'in the air,and there was a good- deal of commo-tion. ,

Ernest Albert Hill, labourer, stated thathe was a member of the Salvation ArmyBand, and was playing in the street onFriday night last. The plan producedshowed the position of the band. Thedistance from the footpath to the outerside of the street would be about 15ft.There was sufficient lighting in the streetto read music without using flares. Wit-ness heard a crash, and looking up hesaw Bandsman Burgess on the left sideof the car, and Bandsman Simon on theright side. Witness did not see eitherof the men struck. He was reading musicat the time. He went to the assistanceof Mr Burgess, and afterwards to that ofMr Symon. The latter was on the frontof the car, and in a dazed condition.Witness saw a man in the car. As wit-ness was supporting S.imon, the car jumpedforward. Mr White 'got into the car be-side the driver. The distance from wherethe car struck Burgess and it pulled upwas about 10£t or 12ft. Witness sawno traffic in the street at the time. Hedid not see the defendant, as he was at-tending to the injured men.

George White, saddler, stated that hewas a member of the Salvation ArmyBand. He was conducting the band inThames street on Friday night last. Theouter side of the band circle was about12ft from the footpath. The street was42ft wide and brilliantly lighted. Therewas little traffic in the street at thetime. After the defendant’s car hadknocked down Burgess and Simon, itproceeded a distance of about 15ft, andknocked against witness. Witness calledout to the adjutant to take the numberof the car, as it commenced to start, andhe was afraid it would get away. Wit-ness pushed the car, and then got in besidethe driver. The engine appeared to be ingear, and was still running. The defend-ant was at the wheel. The adjutanthanded witness a flask of whisky whichhe said he had taken from the defendant’spocket. When the men were lying pros-trate in the street in front of the car,the car moved on as if to run over thebodies of the men. Witness remainedin the car until the police arrived.- Whenthe defendant got out of the car, he wasstaggering, and in witness’s opinion hewas intoxicated, and was not in a normalcondition.

To Mr Hjorring: When witness sawSymons first, he was on the ground infront of the, car. Thompson was also onthe ground. When witness was given theflask of whisky, he held it up. He couldnot say whether the flask containedwhisk}’. When he held this flask up, hesaid, “This is the thing that -did thetrick.” When the constable arrived, thedefendant looked very sick. Witness be-lieved the defendant was intoxicated, butcould not say that he was intoxicated withliquor. He might have been intoxicatedwith excitement, or with drugs. Wheuthe car was pulled up the defendant didnot appear at all obstreperous or agitated,and did exactly what he was told.

George Simon, labourer, deposed thathe was a member of the Salvation ArmyBand, and was playing in the street onFriday night. The night was moonlight,and the street was well lighted. Witnessneither saw nor heard a car coming. Thefirst he knew was that he was knockeddown gnd rendered unconscious. He knewnothing more of what occurred. He wasstill suffering, and his doctor told himhe was not yet fit to return to work.

To Mr Hjorring: He was playing withthe hand again on Sunday night.

Bertie Burgess, painter, stated that hewas also a member of the SalvationArmy Band, and was knocked down bythe car and injured on the head and leg.Witness was being supported by Mr Hill,when the defendant got out of the car,and almost immediately got in again!Witness saw the defendant, but could saynothing concerning his condition. Wit-ness had suffered a good deal of pain,though he was not incapacitated fromwork. The defendant called at witness’shouse on Sunday night, and said he wasvery sorry that witness had been hurt.The defendant said he had been toTimaru with one of his employees, andhad left there about 5 o’clock. He askedwitness if he had received attention. Thedefendant said he had two beers beforehe left Timaru. He had a puncture atOtaio. He stated that, being cold, he hadgone into a hotel, and had two whiskies.Defendant stated that the flask of whiskyfound in his car was being taken home forcases of sickness. AVhen leaving witness’shouse the defendant said: “This is alesson to me. I’ll never take liquor againwhen driving a car.” The defendant ex-plained his running into the Army by-stating that he was going to Mr AdamMackay’s for tobacco, and was pullingout his watch when the accident occurred.Constable Voyce stated that about 8.30p.m. on Friday he recei%'cd a telephonering, stating that a man had been runover by a motor car in Thames street.When he reached the street he saw acrowd by the Salvation Army in front ofthe Polytechnic. He saw a Mqrris-Cowley ear in the ring. He looked intothe car and saw Mr White inside. MrWhite gave witness a flask of whisky,which he said he found in defendant’scoat.

side of the car and stated that there hadbeen an accident while he was looking athis watch._ The defendant was unsteadyin his gait, spoke thickly, and smeltstrongly of liquor. Witness told him togo to the police station. When witnesstook his arm defendant stated “I want adoctor.” He also looked round andshouted, “Get me a doctor, Harry-” MrHarry Abbott then walked with defend-ant along Severn street. The defendanttold Mr Abbott it was an accident, andstated that he was looking at his watchas he was going to Mr Mackay’s fortobacco. The defendant stated that hewas all right, but witness told him hewas not in a fit state to drive a car.When they reached the police station thedefendant refused to go in, and held back.When witness got the accused ,to thewatch house he refused to be searched,and witness called Sergeant Peterson tbhis assistance. The defendant thenpulled off _ his coat, and was about totake off his vest when witness told himto desist, as it was not necessary. De-fendant asked Sergeant Peterson to allowhim to go home, stating that he wouldplead guilty to anything in the morning.Dr Smith-Morton was summoned, and ar-rived 20 minutes later. The street wasbrilliantly lighted when the accidentoccurred. The defendant was intoxicated,and was unfit to drive a car.

To Mr Hjorring: The flask of whiskyhanded to witness was a small one, andwas not opened. When the defendantwas being taken to the police station,witness let go of his arm, and he walkedwith his friend. Witness first told thedefendant he was unfit to drive •a' carwhen he reached the police station. Wit-ness had not asked the defendant to makea statement.

Thomas Harwood, a clerk, stated thathe saw the defendant at the police watchhouse on Friday night. He was actingin a strange manner, and did not appearto have his senses. Witness could smellliquor on the defendant. He was about10ft from the defendant. Witness would

not have cared to drive in a car with aman in the condition of defendant.

To Mr Hjorring: The excitement inthe street might have been respqnsible forthe defendant’s condition.

Constable Moore stated that he hadtaken Dr Smith-Morton to see the defend-ant, and later Dr Whitton arrived. Thiswas about 9.15, three-quarters of an hourafter the defendant reached the station.One test put by the doctor was for thedefendant to be stood with his feet closetogether, and with his eyes shut, andasked to touch his nose with his finger.Three out of five times the defendanttouched his cheek instead of his nose.

Sergeant Peterson stated that, speakingfrom over 21 years’ experience, he was ofopinion that when Le saw the defendantat the police station he was in such a stateof intoxication that he was unfit to bedriving a car. The defendant’s breathsmelt strongly of liquor. The defendantstated that he had two beers >at Timaru,and two whiskies at Glenavy. Whenwitness told him at the watch house thatlie must be searched, the defendantstripped himself of his coat' and began totake off his vest.

Mr Hjorring; If two doctors state thatthe defendant was in quite a fit conditionto drive a car, will you still, from your21 years’ experience, say he was not?

Sergeant Peterson: I will.Mr Hjorring. for the defence, stated

that the defendant had been to Timaruwith one of the principals of his firm.He left on his return journey about 5.30p.m. One of his tyres was punctured atOtaio, and he had trouble with his jack.The defendant had a whisky after hisefforts, and had another whisky on hisjourney home. This was all the liquorhe consumed. When he reached Oamaruthe defendant desired to call at Mr Mac-kay’s shop for tobacco. Finding the shbpclosed, he looked at hie watch. As hedid so, the car swerved, and the nextthing Mr Mallins knew was that he wason top of the Salvation Army. The de-fendant had at once applied the brakes,and had done everything that a soberman could have done in the circum-stances. Medical evidence would be calledto show that the defendant was at alltimes of an excitable nature. Counselasked that the defendant be given thebenefit of any doubt that might exist.

Dr A. Smith-Morton stated that he hadattended the defendant at the police sta-tion shortly after 8.30 p.m. on Fridaylast. Witness found the defendant’sbreath smelling of liquor, and the defend-ant stated that he had had two whiskies.Witness found absolutely no indicationof intoxication. Witness applied vari-ous tests that had been recommended bythe British Medical Association. Thewhole of these tests were of a negativecharacter. The defendant’s eyes andspeech were normal. He had a memoryof all that occurred at the accident, andtold all that had happened during' theday. Witness would consider the de-fendant absolutely in a fit condition todrive a motor car. Witness had previ-ously attended the defendant, and foundhim of an excitable nature.

Sergeant Peterson: Have you had muchexperience in those cases?—l have,though it has not been a daily occur-rence.

Would you back your experienceagainst my own, of2l years?—Well, yes,if it comes to a questiofi of a scientifictest.

Sergeant Peterson quoted an opinion ofSir Robert Stout, and also quoted a news-paper article, but the witness did not en-dorse those opinions. 6In answer to the Bench, Dr Smith-Morton stated that some people would bebetter able to drive a motor car withdrink than without it.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Peterson,the witness stated that there were vari-ous descriptions of intoxication. A manmight he intoxicated through smellingliquor. Witness did not consider it hisduty to protest against the defendantbeing arrested. Witness had been sum-moned merely to ascertain the conditionof the defendant. Witness had seen sobermen meet with motor accidents.

Dr Whitton said that he had examinedthe defendant with Dr Smith-Morton, andhad applied various tests. Witness wouldnot consider the defendant intoxicatedor incapable of driving a car. His ac-tions and his speech were quite normal,though his breath smelt of liquor.

Cross-examined by Sergeant Peterson,witness said that he had had experiencewith intoxicated people over a period of30 or 33 years. The man’s conditionmight have improved between the time hewas arrested and the time he was seenby witness.

Daniel Reece, of Christchurch, statedthat he was a director in the firm ofM'Callum and Co., of which Mr Mulfinwas the Oamaru manager. Mr Mullinhad driven witness to Timaru on Fridaylast. The road was in a bad condition,and the screen was badly splashed. MrMullin had the absolute confidence of thedirectors of the firm.

To Sergeant Peterson: Witness had noknowledge of the movements of Mullinon Friday night.

Harry Abbott, contractor, stated thathe was in Thames street on Friday night,and was told that there had been anadcldent. He went to the scene and sawMr Mullin. The latter said there hadbeen an accident and asked witness ifhe thought he was drunk. Witness walkedover to the police station with the de-fendant. The defendant walked withoutany assistance. Witness knew the de-fendant very well in business and knewhim to be of a very excitable nature.Witness had told Sergeant Peterson thatthe defendant was excitable. Witnesstook the defendant’s car off the road. Itwas standing about 12ft from the trees.The brakes were full on and the car wasin gear. Witness deposited bail for thedefendant about 10 o’clock. He was thentold that the defendant could not beliberated for four hours.

To Sergeant Peterson: Witness couldnot remember Sergeant Peterson statingthat it was a pity to see a respectableman in this position through drink.

As counsel for the defence stated thathe had several further witnesses to callthe magistrate at this stage adjournedthe case until 9 o’clock on Wednesdaymorning next.

PIGEON FLYING.

A race known as the Poultry Show Kacewas fliown from Christchurch by theOamaru Homing Pigeon Club. The birds,which were liberated at five-minute _ in-

tervals, encountered a strong head wind,and the times registered were therforeslower than usual. The following were thefirst three birds to clock in:—D. Spark’sHarkaway, 1082yds 2ft per minute;Browne and Bains' Gold Star, 1063yds;T. Genge’s Astronomer, 1053yds Ift 4in.The time taken on the journey by thewinning bird was 3hrs 54min 46sec. .

BUSINESS CHANGES.Several further business changes have

just taken place in Oamaru. Mr H. G.Deal has sold a business with which hehas been identified for a number of years,and Mr E. Stewart Mills is reported tohave disposed of his well-stocked jewelleryestablishment.

THE, WHEAT POOL.The proposed wheat marketing associa-

tion is regarded favourably in NorthOtago, and it is believed that a canvassof the district will result in a large num-ber of shares being taken up in the asso-ciation.

ACCLIMATISATION.The annual report of the Waitaki Ac-

climatisation Society to be presented atthe annual meeting to-night shows thatthe receipts from all sources during the.year amounted to £240 10s lOd, whichis an increase of £l9 10s lOd over lastyear. As a result of deer culling opera-tions no fewer than 521 deer were des-troyed during the year. Good trout fish-ing was obtained in the. Waitaki Diver,the largest trout taken being a 21-pounderlanded by Mr E. C. Berry. The reportstates that never in the history of theWaitaki Rive# have quinnat salmon goneup in such thousands as during the pastyear, but despite their vast numbers fish-ing was most disappointing. The mainrun did not begin until March, and laterquinnat went up every small stream.Amongst the most successful anglers wereMessrs Elliot and Fleming, who took 50salmon between them, averaging between221 b and 231 b each. Stress is laid in thereport upon the attraction of Lake Ohauas an angler’s paradise, and a lengthyextract is made from an article appear-pearing in the Otago Daily Times givingthe experiences of a Balclutha party atthe lake. Fishing in theKakanui Riveris said to have definitely improved. Theexperiment of liberating Scotch burn inthat river has not proved as successful aswas anticipated, and it is expected thata return will be made to the liberationof brown trout in this river. All thesociety’s reserves are stated to be in goodcondition, and they have received veryconsiderable attention during the year.The council employed a ranger duringlast season, and it was hoped that hispresence had acted as a deterrent topoachers. Fairly good bags of grey duckand swan had been obtained, and pukekodid not appear to have decreased. Thecouncil had liberated 25 brace of quail,and these are reported to be doing well.The council considers that the opossumsliberated many years ago have increasedsufficiently to permit trapping in theforests in the ,west of the railway linefrom Otepopo to the Horse Hill Range,and the Minister has been recommendedto declare an open season for the monthof June.

DEER IN NORTH OTAGO.The Waitaki Acclimatisation Society,

in its annual report, states that the posi-tion in the deer forest at the present isthat the animals are unprotected for ninemonths of the year, and protection is re-imposed during the months of April, May,and June, with an open season from April2 to May 21, during which stalking licensemay be issued under the old system.When deer were protected throughput theforest for the whole of the year yoursociety had full control, and no one waspermitted to destroy deer without a per-mit from .the society or under warrantfrom tlie Government. This was alteredby the Government at the instigation otsome of the land owners, and now for ninemonths of the year the society has nojurisdiction over the deer herd, with theresult that persons to whom permits wouldnever have been granted by this societygo on to the land, leave gates open, dis-turb and even on occasion shoot sheepand cattle, and behave generally in a mostunsportsmanlike way without even havingthe courtesy to ask for the occupier’s per-mission to shoot on his land. Some ofthe land owners are now of the opinionthat the old method was the better way.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PASTEURISATION OF MILK.TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—For Laving been guilty of givingvarious important reasons why all milkused for human consumption should bepasteurised I suffered some little abusefrom your correspondent “ Producer,”and was ignominiously wiped off theslate by Dr Crawshaw. I felt some littleconsolation in reading in your Saturday’spaper an extract from a speech by DrBevan Brown, acting director of thepathological department of the Auck-land Hospital, in which he commentedon the value of good milk in its relationto health, and pointed out that unpas-teurised milk might contain dangerousorganisms. Apparently the Aucklandhealth authorities are alive to the truthof Dr Bevan Brown’s statement, for hementions that the Health Department andthe Agricultural Department are doingtheir best to improve conditions. I amnot quite the ignoramus that “ Producer ”would have the public believe. I havespent nearly 40 years of my life in adairying district, and have had ampleopportunity of knowing all that is to beknown on the subject. lam well conver-sant with all the diseases to which cowsare subject. There seems to be more dis-ease among cattle than there was someyears ago. Especially is this so in thematterof blood troubles which, I think, arccontracted by inoculation. Cows thatsuffer from blood troubles must undoub-edly give milk infected with disease or-ganisms, which must affect the health ofthose drinking it. Every dairyman whoemploys labour should be very careful inthe selection of his men. This is of vitalimportance to the health of his herd. Itis far better to pay good wages to agood clean man than poor wages to a manthat is vicious in his living. Clean pre-mises are very necessary in the produc-tion of good milk, but not half so im-portant as good clean-skinned, healthy liv-ing men to milk the cows. 1 am not anadvocate of the unnecessary indiscrimi-nate slaughtering of cows, but I am fullyconvinced that all milk used for humanconsumption should first be pasteurisedto eliminate the danger of infection.—Iam, etc..

PICTURE IN THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.TO THE EDITOR.

Sib,—I have read the letters that haveappeared in the Otago Daily Times criti-cising in no measured terms the picturein the Public Library, which depicts thelast hours of Nurse Cavell, and bears theinscription “The Foulest Crime theWorld has Known.” I agree entirely withyour correspondents that the pictureshould not be allowed to remain on thewalls of the Library. It is not necessarythat I should take up your space with arestatement of the arguments that havebeen advanced against the retention ofthe picture in the Library. In contra-vention of those arguments it has beensuggested that a difficulty lies in the factthat the picture' was presented by thelate Hon. Mark Cohen, a great advocatefor the creation of the Library, and oneof its staunchest supporters. I do notthink this should stand in the way of theremoval of the picture. If, however, theLibrary Committee feels the delicacy ofthe position, I make the suggestion thatthe objectionable features of the picturecould be painted out by one of our localartists, together with its present title.The figure of Nurse Cavell, and the calm,beautiful face, with its telling spirit ofresignation and peace, might well be re-tained in the Library as a memorial ofdevotion to duty that must for all timeensure the admiration of our people.—lim, etc., Citizen.

CLOSE SETTLEMENT IN CENTRALOTAGO.

TO THE EDITOR.Sib,—The vital question of effective and

close settlement of the national estate atpresent leased as pastoral runs is indis-solubly linked tip with the question of theresumption for subdivision and closersettlement of the Glendhu pastoral runat the termination of the existing lease.That lease gives the present tenant noright to a further term. The lease wastaken up with the full knowledge that therun was liable to be resumed for closersettlement at the termination of - theperiod for which it was leased. The rentalvalues and conditions of occupation werein keeping with the tenure, and the tenant,as a shrewd and experienced sheep far-mer, has enjoyed to the full (we maypresume) the unprecedented prosperitythat has, excepting for one season, beenthe fortunate experience of the sheep farm-ing community since 1914. The pheno-menal advance in the price of wool andstore sheep has been altogether in favourof the runholders, especially of those hold-ing their lands on rentals based on pre-war prices.

Where, then, I ask, is there the slightestshadow of justification for the proposalmade on behalf of the pastoral tenant,viz., that the just and equitable condi-tions of his lease should be set aside,treated as “a scrap of paper,” that heshould thus be enabled to set up a pre-sumptive right to the perpetual posses-sion, as lessee, to which he has not, inequity or law, the slightest claim? Grantthis preposterious claim, and there is nota pastoral run in Central Otago or else-where, no matter how eminently suitablethe country for closer settlement, thatmay not, and undoubtedly will not, bemanipulated in the same manner. And itis obvious that the more valuable therun is for closer settlement, the greaterthe incentive for the pastoral tenant tostrive for the acquisition of it.

But what of the. native-born manhood ofCentral Otago, sons ot the pioneer settlers,and miners, “ the men who made thecountry what it is,” and the sons whodefended the Dominion on every fightingfront? Are they to be deprived of theirjust and equitable right and opportunityto settle on the soil they were born heirsto the privilege of acquiring? Is thisthe final culmination of the loud-mouthedpromises we made to our departing sol-diers? And what will be the effect uponthe country, and more especially uponDunedin, if this *policy is allowed to pre-vail in Central Otago? I have no hesi-tation in saying that it will be disastrousto Otago and Dunedin.

Already the tendency of population tothe towns is provoking the comments ofthe politicians and writers to the press,whilst the incentive to that economic driftof population seems to have escaped theirnotice. But one potent fact is the ever-increasing difficulty that confronts thesons of Central Otago when they attemptto settle upon the land of their birth.They stint and save, and wait for longyears for the subdivision of pastoral andother leased lands that have been dangledbefore their eyes as “land ” for closesettlement,” only to find that the OtagoLand Board has been approached on be-half of existing lessees, and that theflimsiest pretexts suffice to put the op-

portunity of settlement beyond their reach.Air W. D. Hunt, with his notorious agita-tion for “security of tenure ” to “enablethe tenant to regrass his country,” hasdone incalculable liarm to Central Otago,for under the legislation founded on thatagitation the grazing lands of CentralOtago are in a process of what has beengoing on for a long time, of a stedy, sys-tematic, and secret alienation, and ofbeing locked up against settlement by thegranting of renewals of existing leasesfor periods of 33 and 66 years from thetermination of the existing leases. All thisin the name of the pretence of “regrass-ing deteriorated lands! ” I venture tosay the result to date of such “regrass-in ” is infinitesimal, and this method ofdisposing of Crown lands, against theinterests of the present and the nextgeneration, is done secretly and surrep-titiously in committee of the Land Board.Why this indefensible secrecy?

But barking back to the Glendhu run,consideration of the proposal before theboard is asked on the ground of the im-provements made, “ laying down grasses,etc.” Surely this suggestion is childish,since the Land Board has power to givefull, even excessive valuation? There ishardly a run of any kind in Central Otagothat could not be cited for its improve-ments and greater productivity where im-provement is possible. Dozens of us holdleases under more onerous surrender andholding conditions than those applicableto Glendhu run lease. Effective and closesettlement is the only hope of Dunedinand Otago.—I am, etc.,

WANAKA NOTES.

(From Ora Own Correspondent.)PEMBROKE, June 5.

The weather holds mild and pleasant,and, as snow has fallen only lightly onthe ranges, there is little to indicate thatmid-winter is near. Along and near thelake shore the willows still retain theirleaves, and whatever the shortening daysmay have in store the early part of thewinter is passing, still and mild, withfoggy nights and clear days of sunshine.

Mr F. Norris has disposed of his twolaunches, the Tinaroa and Tangaroa, toMessrs J. Hunt and J. Mackay.

Members of the Wakatipu Golf Clubplayed a match against the local club onthe newly-completed Wanaka Links re-cently.

AMUSEMENTS.

EMPIRE THEATRE.Two good pictures with very strong

casts form a very attractive programmeat the Empire Theatre. First there is“The Noose,” in which the leading roleis taken by Richard Barthelmess. Thehead of a rum-running gang is murderedby a young man named Nickie Elkins,with whom Dot, a chorus girl, is in love.Nickie is arrested and condemned to die.He flatly refuses to give the reason forhis crime, but the reason is later forth-coming from Dot, and the youth is re-leased, and starts life afresh. “ForWives Only” is the title of the otherpicture. In this Miss Marie Provost ap-pears as the wife of a physician ofVienna. The medico is called away, andleaves his wife in charge of three of hisbest friends, who are all too susceptibleto her charms. The lady is quite equalto the occasion, and plays with the men,and a succession of comedy scenes follow.Both pictures possess much to commendthem. In addition there is the EmpireWeekly News, which includes some veryinteresting pictures. The feature of theorchestral programme is the overture toGounod’s “ Faust.”

OCTAGON THEATRE.Marion Davies makes an ideal heroine,

and her appearance in “Quality Street,”which is now being screened at the Octa-gon Theatre, is a recent addition to hermany histrionic achievements. Support-ing her is Conrad Nagel, and followingthese two come a long list of more orless well-known moving picture artists.The two important features that makefor the success of a picture have beenwell studied; that is, the character_ fill-ing .and the photography. A synopsis ofthe story is that a young woman namedPhcebe Throssel is violently in love with,a young medico, and she and her sisterexpect him to propose marriage at anymoment. On the occasion of his next callthe doctor has something more serious tooccupy his mind than affairs of the heart.The Napoleonic wars have broken out,and he has enlisted. He is absent for 10years, during which time the sisters earna precarious livelihood by keeping aschool. At the end of the period namedthe doctor, now a captain, returns, butthe 10 years have made a great deal ofdifference in the appearance of Phcebe,and the captain is disenchanted. Thisupsets poor Phoebe very badly, and theensuing situations arq very entertaining.

“BUTTONS,”Jackie Coogan is undoubtedly one of

the most consistently popular players onthe screen; it is always such an unusualspectacle to watch the very young per-forming with all the sangfroid of thesophisticated, and young Coogan has theability to do just this. , His pictures,coming as they do at rare intervals, areamong the most extensively patronised.“Buttons,” which will be offered at theOctagon Theatre to-morrow, is a ro-mance of a cadet in the merchant marine,with Jackie Coogan playing his first rolesince his famous bob was cut to conven-tional length, and his picturesque ragsscrapped for the uniform of the service.Not less wistful and appealing is thenew actor; he always got the worst of itin his strictly juvenile pictures, but in“Buttons ” he mixes it freely with thecaptain’s page, and provides some merrycomedy by his cheerful meddling in thecaptain’s love affaire. • The story told in“Buttons” is a simple romance, butwith a few brilliant scenes outstandingto give a dramatic fillip, such as the sink-ing of the big transatlantic liner, with“Buttons ” confined in disgrace in thechip’s “ brig,” and eventually going down*with the captain on the bridge. But notragedy. All are saved. There is aspark of the villain’s element, a dash ofdeep plotting, a fair lady, and a romanticofficer; there is Buttons, scheming andfighting, and Buttons’s young enemy, adelightful assembly of people in situationsthat tickle the sense of humour, thrillwith drama, fascinate with some romance.Young Coogan is surrounded with a com-pany of talented players. Lars Hansen,that cold Viking, who is delighting thecritice, is the captain, Gertrude. Olm-stead bis lady, Roy D’Arcy is an ex-quisite creature who would woo her fromthe gallant officer’s side; Jackie Coogftnand Coy Watson are two g cadets whowould thwart his fell scheme, and PaulHurst is the gym. instructor, who clapsthe exquisite one in a boiling bath forthe good of his health, but better toallow the captain an open field. “But-tons ” is a gem of a story, made into aspeedy and amusing picture.

REGENT THEATRE.The new Regent Theatre, which is natu-

rally a place of attraction for manypicture patrons, has installed “MadamePompadour,” who will be remembered asthe historical favourite of Louis XV ofFrance. The beautiful girl, Marie Pois-sons, attracts the attention of the King,being urged thereto by an ambitiousmother. Her efforts, crowned with suc-cess, result in a kingdom and its rulerbeing at her feet, and all goes well untilshe meets her destiny in the shape ofRene Laval. The scheming on the partof the lady to spend her time with herlover, and at the same time keep theKing in ignorance of what is going on,make interesting matter. It is all'veryromantic, yet, to a very large extent, trueto life. There are, of course, some amus-ing interludes in the amours of the partiesimmediately concerned, but it is mostlyromantic, and at times a little pathetic.Dorothy Gish and Antonio Moreno fillthe leading parts with exceptional ability.There is, in addition, a comedy film en-titled “Two Flaming Youths,” which isfull of fun. Chester Conklin and W. C.Fields are the principals engaged in theproduction. In a musical direction “TheBohemians” take an important part inthe performance, and the orchestra pro-vides some very good music, notably theoverture to Hcrold’s “Zampa.”

“HULA” AND “ HONEYMOON HATE.”“ Hula,” which will be screened at the

Regent Theatre on Friday, brings ClaraBow back again. This time, as may beimagined, the star is a girl of the Islands,and one could not find a better star ortitle for this madcap of the screen.“Hula ” is a child of the out-of-doors—-more at home in the water than in adancing frock. Loved by everyone—avivacious creature,, just approachingwomanhood, and in this picture she leavesthe greatest impression yet created.”Honeymoon Hate,” the screen, version ofthe Evening Post story of.that tit.e, showsFlorence Vidor in wonderful dress crea-tions which cost a small fortune.

QUEEN’S THEATRE--

“High School Hero,” with Bill andPete two college students, as rivals forthe affections of Eleanor, an attractivevoting miss who is, profoundly indifferentto both young men, is an hilarious comedy,and has been the means of attracting alarge number of spectators to the QueensTheatre. The two youths do not starton an equal footing—one has a sportsroadster, while the other has to be con-tent with a Ford. “Pans at Midnightis also presented.

EVERYBODY’S THEATRE.The featured artist in “Don Q., Son of

Zorro,” being screened at Everybody’sTheatre, is Douglas Fairbanks. It is astory of the trials and adventures of agallant young knight. In. “A Woman ofParis,” the main character is sustainedby Adolphe Menjou. whose impersonationof a young boulevardier is admirable. Thisamorous young man is always in a com-plicated state through his intimateacquaintance with a number of youngw-omen. The story ends well.

PLAZA' AND GRAND THEATRES.“Beau Geste ” is a narrative concern-

ing a famous jewel and the adventures ofthree brothers who belong to the FrenchForeign Legion. They are accused ofstealing the jewel, and much of an inter-esting nature happens before everythingis cleared up. The interests of the spec-tators is sustained throughout the screen-ing of “ Beau Geste.” The supportingfilm is “ The Air Patrol,” which dealswith the adventures of the Secret Service,so far as the air is concerned. There issome trick flying that is very wonderful.

KING EDWARD THEATRE.At the King Edward Theatre therj are

to be seen “Don Q„ Son of Zorro.” and•• Paris At Midnight,” the two making astrong and attractive combination.

MAURICE MOSCOVTTCH ANDCOMPANY.

Mr Edgar Wallace is a writer of re-pute, and his novels never fail. to gripthe imagination and hold the interestto the end, which is generally unusualand exciting. He is a master of thesliding panel and mystery .drama, andin “ The Ringer ” and “The Terror,”which have been sensational successeswherever they have been produced, hehas excelled himself. Both plays keepthe audience guessing until the finalcurtain, and they move with swiftnessand dramatic suddenness.

“The Ringer ” in this play of ScotlandYard is a killer. He is called “ theRinger” because of his adeptness atringing the changes on himself. He isnot an ordinary criminal—he kills onlythose who deserve a worse fate, andfor that reason he has admirers even atScotland Yard, though their detectivesare out after him. There are manyinteresting complications in the play,and the manner in which they graduallydevelop until the sensational denoue-ment is worthy of a master of fictionand drama. As Meister, a shady solici-tor who defends the crooks that he“gives away” to Scotland Yard bymeans of anonymous correspondence,Moscovitch has created a character ofhis own which has been described as oneof the most convincing ever seen on thestage. “It was not Moscovitch wesaw,” wrote one eminent critic, “it wasa Jekyll and Hyde character shudder-somely impressive, but holding the in-terest of the audience to the very end.It was one of the finest exhibitions ofcharacter . acting ever seen on thestage.

Moscovitch is supported by an all-starcompany, including Patric Curwen (thenoted London actor who was speciallyengaged to play his original role of DrLomond, the divisional surgeon at Scot-land Yard), Nat Madison (who portraysthe part of Samuel Hackitt, ex-convict,to the life), Reginald Newson, GeorgeBlunt, Carlton Stuart, Guy Hastings,Herbert Leigh, Miss Mary MacGregor(Cora Ann Milton), Bertha Riccardo(Mary Lenley), Kiore King (MrsHackitt). The play is produced byMr Gregan M'Mahon, and will be stagedfor three nights, when it will give placeto “The Terror,” another grippingEdgar Wallace drama, which has provedequally successful everywhere.

The season, which opens on Thursday,June 14, is for eight nights only. Thefirst three will see “ The Ringer” pro-duced ; for the second two nights “TheTerror ” will be staged; and for the lastthree nights of the season “The SilentHouse ” will be produced for the firsttime in Australasia.

The arrangements for the box plansare advertised.

SOUTH DUNEDIN LICENSINGCOMMITTEE.

ANNUAL MEETING.

The annual sitting of the DunedinSouth Licensing Committee was held yes-terday and was attended by Messrs J.R. Bartholomew, S.M. (chairman), A. A.Campbell, A. F. Quelch and R. Telfer.

The only business to come before thecommittee was nine applications for re-newals qf license, and all were grantedexcept one, which was adjourned till thenext quarterly meeting of the committeein order that certain renovation of thebuilding might be done.

Renewals of license were granted toSaverie Massetti, Mosgiel Hotel; DavidPorter Wilson, Bay View Hotel (Mr A.Sinclair); John Herbert Pearson, OcamBeach Hotel (Mr C. J. L. White);Pauline Clara Matthews, Green IslandHotel; John Bentley Sharp, CommercialHotel, Green Island; Martin Quirk, St.Kilda Hotel (Mr Cook); William HenryKnb'tt, Railway Hotel, Mosgiel (MrLang); and William John Hargreaves,Ocean View Hotel (Mr Lang).

Prior to the granting of these applica-tions the Chairman said that the com-miteee was thoroughly satisfied with thereport, which called for no remarks. Thehotels had been well conducted, but onewas not in a good state of repair. Thatwas the Fitzroy Hotel. Several re-quirements in the direction of renova-tion -were called for.

Mr Pinfold, who appeared for appli-cant, said he understood that some workhad been done. On inquiry of the licen-see some work had not been done onaccount of the Winter Show. It hadbeen thought best to hoi I the work overon that account. Every room, exceptone, had been renovated. Some of thework was rather costly, and the licenseehad thought before going on with thatit would be better that the matter shouldcome before the committee.

Superintendent Willis said the housewanted considerable renovation and paint-ing outside. It was poorly furnished.It seemed to him that it required reno-vating all round. It was an old houseand bore a most dilapidated appearanceoutside.

Mr Pinfold said every room in thehouse had been attended to.

The Chairman: It requires to be at-tended to better throughout.

Mr Pinfold said the licensee was quiteprepared to do what was required.

The Superintendent of Police said heunderstood that there was considerableconflict between the licensee and theowner as to who was to pay for the re-pairs.

The Chairman; The work of renova-tion will have to be done to the satis-faction of the corporation inspector. Thematter will be adjourned to next quar-terly meeting.

Why risk dangerous cutting witha knife or razor? Here is a cer-tain, proved remedy for cornsquick, pleasant, utterly safe.Radox Bath Salts is its name.Just put a table-spoonful in afoot bath.

“Without naming the various* certain ’ com remedies I havehitherto tried, without good re-sults, I can conscientiously saythat Radox Bath Salts have beenthe means of my getting rid ofsome very troublesome corns.From the very first soaking of thefeet in Radox the corns began to

soften, and took practically no re-moving from their sockets. Afterone or two foot baths I have en-tirely got rid of the corns.”

When you dip your foot into afoot bath containing Radox BathSalts, the dead skin combines withthe Radox Bath Salts to form aprotein salt of the actual corn it-self. This protein salt dissolvesin water like ordinary salt, and soloosens the com that it may belifted out bodily, root and all.Radox does not affect the livingskin; it is only the dead skin ofthe actual corn which is dissolved.Ask for Radox at your I -|chemist’s, price 2/1 per fii/ A.Jib. pink packet, and Half Pocnd3/6 double quantity.

COMPANY BALANCE SHEETS.THE PERPETUAL TRUSTEESESTATE AND AGENCY COMPANY

OF NEW ZEALAND, LIMITED.

• Subject to income tax.As in the case of 1926-27, the past

financial year has produced gross surplusof aa amount well in excess of the paid-up capital, but expenditure seems to takean increasing slice annually. The netsurplus ha,ving been carried forward sub-ject to the relative income tax, the netprofit of the year is not ascertainablefrom the balance sheet. Shareholdersreceive their customary dividend of 15per cent., which, after allowance is madelor income tax, will represent approxi-mately one-half of the net surplue. Atransfer of £ISOO to reserve fund isrecommended, while the balance will al-most be absorbed by a contribution of£750 to the staff benefit fund and variousallowances.

Expenditure for the past season cameto £17,453 as against £16,381 for its pre-decessor. The increase in the gross profitis thus counter-balanced. The amountsentered opposite the different divisionsof the charges have each gone up, asmight be expected in a developing busi-ness where the gross profit is more thantwo and a-half times that of nine yearsago. At.that time the gross return wasexceeded by the paid-up capital, but al-though on three subsequent occasions thecapital has been, swelled by a bonus pay-ment of 2s per share, the return has nowgot a. steady lead, which it looks unlikelvto relinquish.

By its most recent addition, reservefund is raised to £19,000, or just £IOOOless than the paid-up capital. The por-tion of the floating balance not requiredfor income tax falls to be Added, bringingthe total in excess of the paid-up capi-tal. On the other side of the balancesheet are investments that more thancover all visible reserve*. Periodically—-latterly every third year—a, restorationof 2s per share of the capital at one timewritten down has been made to share-holders, and an announcement of thatnature may be looked for 12 monthshence. As the report on this occasionpreserves silence oh the matter, such anannouncement need scarcely be expectednow. although some shareholders maythink that the direct transfer of £ISOO toreserve fund could have been utilised to-ward!* restoration purposes. With theview of keeping reserve fund in linewith the paid-up capital, some additionsare required out of the surplus from timeto time. A further 6s 6d per share isneeded to restore the shares to theiroriginal paid-up amount prior to their

being written down, and, if progress con-tinues as at present, seven years or soshould see the restoration completed.

One heading, "balances due by com-pany," comprises all liabilities. Thedesignation is wide enough to cover morethan sundry creditors and to include bal-ances that are not actual items of in-debtedness. In their relation to balancesdue to company, the position has re-verted more closely to that of two yearsapo. Since 1918 their course has beenas follows, viz.—

On onlv two occasions during the 10veare has the margin been proportionallygreater. The position is reflected in thelarge bank balance which, at £20,104,almost makes up the difference. Part ofthat sum is earning interest, but it almostlooks as if some special destination wasin view for a considerable part of it ata date shortly after the books were closed.The swing of the pendulum in 12 monthsfrom a bank overdraft of £7223 has beenmost pronounced.

Investments, divisible between niort-crages and debentures, aggregate £42,956.The amount and manner of employmentof the £19,550 in debenture is unaltered.It is impossible to tell how the moneyplaced on mortgage has been affected dur-ing the year, but. possibly the large bankbalance is partly a result of the redis-tribution of groups. Mortgages now standalone, their figure of £23.406 being suffi-ciently large to make a substantial con-tribution towards meeting the dividend.

In a company of this nature fixturesoccupy a relatively small place, their totalof £5535 representing barely 4 per cent,of the whole asset*. Leasehold and build-ings have dropped to £4588, and it isrecommended that a further £238 shouldbe written off. The drop of practically£6OO in their book value may be theresult of an annual depreciation allow-ance in reduction of the leasehold, inwhich ca*e ,the allocation of £238 out ofthe surplus brings additional strength.By the writing down of office furnitureand fittings by £9B. that asset will bereduced to £BSO. The special provisionof £3OO for Christchurch branch, whetherto be applied in meeting capital or or-dinary expenditure, leads to the assump-tion that there are more reserves thanmeet the eye. The book value of thefixtures may have a certain responsi-bility in this connection, so making theircontribution to the strength of the com-pany.

The need that is met by the operationsof such a concern is evident when it isstated that the value of clients' businessunder control is close upon £6,000,000.It may safely be assumed that widelvscattered interest* are involved, and withthe email estate demandng as carefuloversight as the large, and, it may be,a greater amount of labour in propor-tion, a ceaseless vigil is required fromthose on whom the heavier part of theburden of responsibility rests.rvyv2l

CLYDESDALE HORSE SOCIETY.

ANNUAL MEETING.

PROMISING OUTLOOK REVEALED.

The annual meeting of the ClydesdaleHorse Society of the Dominion (Inc.)was held yesterday in the Otago A. andP. Society’s board room, Mr ThomasLogan, Otamo (president), in the chair,The annual report and balance sheet andthe chairman’s remarks revealed a healthyfinancial 'position and a promising futurefor the heavy horse breed in New .Zea-land.

The annual report for the year endedApril 30, 1928. stated that the balancesheet showed that another highly satis-factory year had been experienced.

The membership showed a steady in-crease and was now just over 600.Seventy-Jour new members had beenelected during the year, and 14 resigna-tions had been received. The privilegesgranted made membership worth while,and the committee hoped to see manyothers take advantage of these privileges.

While the transfers lor the year werenot so great as in the previous years thiscould be accounted for by the fact thatthe demand for horses had increased veryconsiderably, consequently more mareswere being retained and put to the stud,which indeed promised well for thefuture.

Registrations for Vol. 10 of the StudBook, which closed on June 30, showeda big increase over Vol. 9. To datethe figures had increased by over 20colts and stallions and 100 mares andfillies. The demand for Stud Book mareswas very keen indeed, and it behovedevery breeder to give attention to theregistration of his animals. On the1927-28 annual returns the committee waspleased to say that almost every fillyfoal had been registered by the breeders.This wag a step in the right directionand kept everything up-to-date.

During the year two very fashionablebred mares were imported to the Do-minion by Mr Andrew Grant, of Fairlie —

Craigie Ella and Craigton Helenora.These mares should be an asset to thiscountry, and the committee extended toMr Grant its congratulations.

The Union Steam Ship C>fi was wonoutright by the Moore Hunter Estate atCarterton Show, this being its fourthvictory. The Moore Hunter Estate hadvery penerously re-presented this valuablecup to the societv for competition underthe same conditions as formerly, andto them the very best thanks was clue.Breeders were giving a very great dealof attention to veterinary examination,and the committee looked forward withevery confidence to having the StallionsBill placed on the Statute Book duringthe coming session of Parliament. Ithoped ,to have Volume 10 ready for dis-tribution to members by October 1 inorder that they might have a record oftheir entries for the show season.

The financial position of the societywas rapidly improving, and everythingpointed to a prosperous future for thesociety and for the breed.

The balance sheet showed that the re-ceipts for the year totalled £1470 4s lid,while the payments, including £4OO de-posits to the Farmers’ Co-operative As-sociation, amounted to £1389 8s Id. Thesurplus of assets over liabilities totalled£2424 7s 3d. In his report the trea-surer, Mr A. Hunter, said that the mainitems of the receipts—subscriptions andentry fees—were maintaining a highaverage. The amount received for entryfees was the largest in the hlsfory of thesociety. Fancy prices for horses wereconspicuous by their absence, so it couldbe assumed that breeders were satisfiedwith the steady trade prevailing. Trans-fers had kept at a high level, and thenumber of late fees was low.

In moving the adoption of the reportand balance sheet the chairman referredto the excellent financial position of thesociety. A year or two back it wasthought that the tractor would oustthe horse, but of late the horse was gain-ing ground every day. Even in America,where petrol and machines were com-paratively cheap, the horse was cominginto its own. Size, weight, quality andaction were the main objectives ofbreeders, and the right typo of horse inNew Zealand was hard toget, and alwayscommanded a good price.

The motion was seconded by Mr J. D.Wyllie and carried without discussion.

The following office-bearers wereelected for the coming year:—President,Mr Q. Donald (Fcathcrstone); vice-presidents, Messrs S. Fleming and D. G.Wright (South Island), and Sir R. D.M’Lean and Mr A. M’Nicol (NorthIsland) ; treasurer, Mr A. Hunter;council —Messrs J. Knight (Fielding),R. D. Knight (Longburn), E. A. Washer(Okaiawa), H. Wilson (Bulls), A.Thomson (Kelso), R. Kennedy (Drum-mond), R. Lockhoad (Christchurch),and D. Q. Wright (Windermere) ; audi-tors, Messrs Kalkley and Cameron.

It was decided that it bo a recom-mendation to the incoming council thatthe photographs of the three leadingstallions and the three leading maresin each island be printed in the StudBook.

The Chairman announced that theMinister of Agriculture had been askedto do his best to put through the Stal-lions Bill, and had promised to do hisbest. The speaker thought that it wouldbe well for the meeting to support theprevious request, by forwarding a resolu-tion to the Minister. The followingresolution was carried unanimously:“That the Minister of Agriculture beasked to place the Stallions Bill on theStatute Book during the coming sessionof Parliament.”

A vote of thanks to the Dunedin A.and P. Society for the use of the meet-ing room was passed, and the meetingclosed with votes of thanks to the re-tiring president to the council, and to thesecretary (Mr R. M’Cay).

MUSICAL RECITAL.

GRAMOPHONE AND GOURLAYPIANO.

The invitation of Messrs Chas. Beggand Co. to spend an evening atthe Early Settlers’ Hall for the punooseof hearing a musical programme of piano-

forte and gramophone music, interspersedwith songs and dancing, was verytaken advantage of last evening, the mlbeing well filled. In piano music theinstrument used was the now well-knownGourlay piano. This was operated by MrC. E. Begg, and under his skilfulmanipulation several selections were ex-ceedingly well played, and were mostenjoyable. It was also demonstrated thatthe Gourlay piano could be easily usedfor the purpose of accompanying vocal-ists ; certainly a difficult matter when itis remembered that vocalists, withscarcely any exception, take a good manyliberties with the score from which theyare singing in the direction of retardingand accelerating the time. However. MrBegg managed to keep fairly close to thesingers, who were Miss Doris M’Curdyand Mr Hilliker, both of whom wererecalled. The larger portion of theinstrumental music heard was providedbv an up-to-date H:s Master’s Voicegramophone, ■which was in charge of MrWilliamson. The gramophone selectionswere very varied, and ranged from grandopera selections, one of which from ‘ IITrovotore,” wa spartcularly fine ; to heht,music with a decided American strainin its composition. There was mi ex-ceedingly captivating waltz— TesoroNico ’’—plaved by the InternationalNovelty Orchestra, that, apart from itsbeautv would be most suitable for danc-ing to, strict time being observedthroughout. The string sextette Baby’sSweetheart ” was another conspicuouslypretty record. Amongst the more amus-ing records was ‘‘ Henry’s made a Ladyout of Lizzie.” All the gramophonemusic hgard was very good, and extremelvwell reproduced bv the instrument used.The vocalists both acquitted themselvesquite commendably, Miss M’Curdy notbeing allowed to leave the stage withouta small token of appreciation. The danc-ing was an innovation, but quite a welcome one. The dancers were Miss Hagenand Mr Hilliker, who were recalled foran exhibition of up-to-date dancing, inwhich they showed proficiency. The lastgramophone record was one of songs ofScotland, and with this the audience wasdelighted. The recital was a decidedsuccess, and was evidently enjoyed by thF

large audience present.

A BRJEFGREAT

HISTORY OF AVEMENT

In the Spring of 1925 Dodge Brothersundertook an important and gigantictask—which is now complete.

Since its inception in 1914Dodge Brothershad specialized exclusively in a four-cylinder product. During thirteen yearsmore than two millionunitsof that prod-uct were sold to the world.It is unnecessary here to comment on thesingular merits of that famous Four.It was honored on the battle-fieldsof war,and achieved equal distinction on thehighways and byways of peace.

Its long life and complete dependabilityhad become an adage.Meanwhile, however, times were chang-ing and tastes were changing with them.While still as important as ever, depend-ability alone was no longer sufficient.Greater speed and comfort, more styleand luxury were the growing preposses-sions of the hour.

Six-cylinder motors were gradually be-coming practical at popular prices. Pro-gressive engineering dictated the revisionand refinement of existing four-cylinderpower-plants.Two years ago Dodge Brothers appraisedits task and embarked upon a programdesigned to place it and its Dealer Organ-ization in a position on January 1, 1928,second to none in the industry.

Quietly, with deliberation and dispatch,and without interrupting the regularcourse of production and service to cus-

tomers, the new program went swiftlyforward.The astonishing results of this greatachievement are now known to theworld.It is doubtful if industrialannals can eke,over a similar period, an achievement sooutstanding.

A smart,swift, low-priced and immenselypopular quality Four has replaced itsfamous predecessor.

The Senior Six, outstanding in perform-ance, quality and luxurious appointment,has been created.

Graham Brothers Trucks and Bases(formerly exclusively Fours) have beensupplemented by Sixes. Fifty new typeshave'been added, all resulting in the mostcomplete and capable line of work carsknown.THEN CAME THE VICTORY SIX-THS MOST SPECTACULAR ENGI-NEERING ACHIEVEMENT OF THEDECADE.These accomplishments, one followingthe other in steady progression, havenow provided Dodge Brothers Dealersthroughout the world with the mostdiversified and comprehensive line ofpassenger and commercial vehicles evermanufactured and sold by a single or-ganization.Adhering rigidly to the sound and honor-able standards of a great past, DodgeBrothers have met the challenge of a stillmore exacting future.

A BANKRUPT FRUITERER.

MEETING OF CREDITORS.

A meeting of creditors in the bank-rupt estate of Gerald Henry Johnson, afruiterer and confectioner, of Dunedin,held on Tuesday afternoon, failed to at-tract a quorum, only three creditors beingrepresented.

The bankrupt’s assets were £272 18s9d, and his liabilities to unsecured credi-tors £472 2s lid. To secured creditorshe owed £79, his total deficiency being£2Ol 4s 2d.

The unsecured creditors were as fol-lows:—Reilly’s Central Produce Mart,£382 16s lOd; R. Wilson and Co., Ltd.,£44 15s 2d; J. Stewart, £6 17s; Nestleand Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Com-pany (Australasia^. Ltd., £5 7s 4d; R.Hudson and Co., Ltd., £l6 Is sd; Laing’sEstate, £l4; T. Paterson and Co., £2 9s2d; City Corporation, £1 16s.

The secured creditors were:—Citizens’Loan Company, £29; M'Leod Bros., £SO.

The bankrupt’s statement was to theeffect that his average takings had been£2 10s per day during the last threemonths. He had paid most of the moneyto Reilly’s Produce Mart and householdexpenses. He had paid no rent duringthe tope he had been in the shop, butit was possible for him to make the busi-ness pay with his receipts at £3 10s aweek. He attributed his financial state,however, to the fact that he was unableto deal in the open market. He had beencompelled to deal through a certain credi-tor, and had had to pay more for hisgoods than it would have been necessaryfor him to expend in the open market.When he took the shop over the takingswere £1 a day.

The creditors present decided to leavethe matter in the hands of the officialassignee.

CITY POLICE COURT.

Wednesday, June 6.(Before Mr J. R. Bartholomew, S.M.)

DRUNKENNESS.For drunkenness, David Johnston Gun-

ning was fined 20s, in default 24 hours’imprisonment, and Robert Charlston Cleg-horn 10s, with a similar alternative. Bothmen were statutory first offenders.

OBSCENE LANGUAGE.John Morgan Pauley, who explained

that he met some schoolmates and didnot remember the offences, pleaded guiltyto charges of drunkenness and of usingobscene language in a public place, andwas fined 10s on the first charge and 40son the second, the alternatives being fixedat 24 hours and seven days’ imprison-ment respectively.

MAINTENANCE.Thomas Mathieeon appeared on remand,

and pleaded guilty to disobedience of amaintenance order, the arrears on whichwere stated to be £399 10s.—Sergeant Tur-ner stated that the order was made inNapier in 1921, when the defendant wasordered to pay £1 per week towards themaintenance of his wife and family. InSeptember, 1924, he was sentenced tothree months’ imprisonment for disobedi-ence of the order, and again in 1925 re-ceived a further sentence of six months’imprisonment for a similar offence. Sincethe order was issued he had paid only£3, and on February 2, 1928, a warrantwas issued at Napier, the defendant beingarrested at Dunedin on Tuesday last.—The Defendant asked for another chance,stating that if the present arrears werewiped off he would make a fresh startand keep up his payments.—The Magis-trate remarked that if the defendantcould pay only £3 in seven years theredid not appear to be much hope of hisdoing any better if the arrears were can-celled, and sentenced him to a furthersix months’ imprisonment. The moneyhe earned in gaol, stated his Worship,could then go towards the support of hiswife and children.

EMPIRE WAR GRAVES.

OUR MILLION BEAD,

By the end of 1929 the constructionof the war cemeteries should be com-pleted. The vast organisation necessaryto give burial to the 1,000,000 dead ofthe British Empire will then be reducedto the small permanent staff responsiblefor maintenance. So far 600,000 head-stones, 1135 crosses of sacrifice, and 2b5stones of remembrance have been erected,necessitating the construction of 659cemeteries. Tablets bearing the Royalarms, surrounded by the arms of thedominions and India, have also been un-veiled in the following cathedrals andchurches:—Amiens, Beauvais, Bayeux,Boulogne, Bethune, Le Mans, Lille, Mar-seilles, Meaux, Nancy, Nantes, Orleans,Laon, Paris, Rheims, Rouen, Senlis, Soi»-sons, Brussels, Malines, Mons, and West-minster Abbey. Each of these will becentres of pilgrimage for Australians andNew Zealanders visiting Europe for manyyears (says the Argus). Two tablets,similar to the gesso memorial erected inWestminster Abbey, are being erected inCanada for the sake of mourners who can-not take a tour of France, Belgium, orGreat Britain. The War Graves Commis-sion is also publishing a complete senesof printed cemetery and memorial regis-ters, containing the names of the fallen,with more particulars than can be givenon a headstone. So far 388 memorialregisters have been published, containing422,930 names, and covering 616 ceme-teries and 16 memorials. Copies of theregister parts can be obtained from theWar Graves Commission at 82 Bakerstreet, London, W.l. Many of the regis-ters include illustrations of the cemeteryand memorial, and some a map of thesurrounding country.

During the last year 3200 bodies havebeen recovered from isolated graves mFrance and Flanders, and have been re-buried in British cemeteries. At the timeof exhumation 437 bodies were identified,and others have since been identifiedthrough research in the war records. Use-ful work ig also being done in providinghotels on the Continent with cemeterylocation maps, and erecting permanentway-side direction signs. Two hundredand forty signposts of this type were setup last year. Eight hundred and elevengardeners are at work in the 2454 ceme-teries where British and dominion deadlie in France and Flanders, and they haveset more than 2,350,000 plants, in additionto planting 71 miles of hedges. In Galli-poli and Palestine all the cemeteries andmemorials have been completed, and thecommission's construction staff has _ beendisbanded, only the permanent mainten-ance staff being now in the service. Thecemeteries in Palestine and Syria includeJerusalem War Cemetery and chapel andthe Damascus Cemetery, as well as othercemeteries for Indian and Egyptian troops.All the Indian cemeteries have beenplanted with the blue iris. Eleven milesof rosemary hedges, “For Remembrance,and 25 miles of flower borders have beenplanted in other cemeteries. Trees andshrubs grow fast in Syria with propercare, and the war cemeteries are verybeautiful with their belts of trees, theirplants, and their grassy banks. The 15cemeteries with 9817 headstones in ETvpthave also been finished, and a service washeld at each of them on Armistice Day,1927. The remains of 1239 British priso-ners of war recovered from prison campsin Asia Minor were transported across theSyrian desert and reinterred in the Bagh-dad War Cemetery. There are 7896headstones in Irak alone. .

The Imperial War Graves Commissionreport also mentions that 2450 headstoneshave been approved for erection on thegraves of sailors and soldiers who died inAustralia as a direct result of the war.Of these 2250 have been erected and 200are now being put up. Otherwise littlfcremains to be done in Canada, Australia,and New Zealand. In Great Britain wargraves are scattered over more than10,000 cemeteries, so the problem oferecting headstones is difficult. When thelarger cemeteries in France and Flandersare completed next year the staff of theWar Graves Commission will deal withthe problem of those who lie in Englishchurchyards and cemeteries. Among thememorials in process of construction themost important is Sir Robert Lorimer'smemorial at Thiepval, a counterpart tothe Menin Gate in Belg'um, on which willbe inscribed the names of 70,000 Britishmissing who fell on the Somme battle-fields. As a tribute to Britain's alliesthis will be inscribed: — _

A SHAKESPEARE RELIC.

THE WARD DIARY.

The memorable books of the Rev. JohnWard, vicar of Stratford-on-Avon, coverthe years 1648 to 1679. The diary be-longs to the Medical Society of London,winch has decided to sell it in orderto obtain funds for the extension of itslibrary. Though John Ward was trainedas a doctor, there is little that is specifi-cally medical in his memoranda, and,as the 16 volumes are probably worth asmany thousand pounds, the society isto be congratulated upon its wisdom,states the London correspondent of theMelbourne Argus. Such writers as SirSidney Lee have drawn upon John Ward,but the diary has never been tran-scribed in its entirety. When thevolumes are sold the. new owner willdoubtless make a book of them, ampli-°ving the selection made by Dr CharlesSevern in 1839. The six entries relating;o William Shakespeare, upon the anthor-it - of Sir Israel Qollancz, are as follow,‘lie spelling being that of Dr Gollancz:

1. Shakespeare had but two daugh-ters, one of whom Mr Hall, the phy-sician, married, and by her hadone daughter, Lady Barnard of Abing-don.

2. I have heard that Mr Shakespearewas a natural wit, without any artat all; he frequented the plays all hisyounger time, but in his elder dayslived at Stratford, and supplied thestage with two plays every year, andfor that had an allowance so large thathe spent at the rate of J3IOCO a year,as I have heard.

3. Remember to peruse Shakespeare’splays, and to be versed in them, thatI may not be ignorajit in that matter.

4. Shakespeare. Drayton, and BenJohnson had a merrv meeting, and itseems drank too hard, for Shakespearedied of fever there contracted.

4. A letter to my brother to see MrsQueeny, to send for Tom Smith for theacknowledgment. (A legal documentof some kind).

5. Whether Dr Heylin does well, inreckoning up the dramatic poets, whichhave been famous in England, to omitShakespeare.The Shakespearian reference in the fifth

quotation is explained by the fact thatMrs Queeny was Judith, the poet’syounger daughter who lived at Strat-ford in 1662 in her 77th year, and whomust have been known to Mr Ward.

SMALL BOTTLE MAKES A PINT.

To make a pint of this wonderful coughand cold medicine, which is from therecipe of a qualified chemist, you simplymix water, sugar, and treacle with abottle of “Heenzo ” (Hean’s Essence), asper simple directions on label.

Buying cough medicines in the ordinaryway is expensive, but with the “ Heenzo ”

Mixture that you make yourself you get awhole pint, or, in other words, seven oreight bottles, for the price of one—anenormous saving.

“Heenzo ” is splendid for all kinds ofcoughs and colds, croup, whooping ebugh,chest pains, bronchitis, asthmaj, and manythroat and lung troubles. The good itdoes is truly wonderful.

Most medicine dealers sell “ Heenzo.”Be sure you get the genuine and original“Heenzo” (Hean’s Essence). No otherwill do; 2s 6d everywhere.—AdvL

I noticed the last time Iwas in there they gave as much attention to the customerwanting a shilling article as they did to those requiring

goods at £l. Bill wants a Knife to skin rabbits, andwhen he sees the 80 sorts of Pocket Knives well,enough said. Now, for myself, I want some Wrenches(they are always losing them off the plough), a pair

of Combination Pliers at 1/6, a Saw, a Chisel, a pairof Wire Cutters at 6/6, which can he carried in thepocket, and will cut number eight wire as easy as wink-ing. My wants are many, so while Mother is lookinground I will inspect the tools. It’s a good thing to beup-to-date.

LAWSUIT IN CALCUTTA.

WHITE MAHARANTS CLAIM.

MAHARAJAH TO PAY £llOO 4YEAR.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)LONDON, April 21.Cable information has arrived in Lon-

don from Calcutta that Mr KulwantSahay and Mr T. S. Macpherson, puisnejudges of the High Court of Judicature,Patna, have disposed of a suit filed bySitadevi, the Australian wife of theMaharajah Tikari, against the Maharajah,for the enforcement of two deeds of giftgranting her certain allowances.

Their lordships held that the Maharajahhad been unable to prove that Sitadevihad obtained a divorce from her formerhusband, Mr Stilwell, in the New Zealandcourts, by collusion and fraud. Theyheld, therefore, that her marriage withthe Maharajah in 1909 was legal andvalid.

In regard to the first document, grant-ing to Sitadevi a life annuity of Rs. 3000monthly, their lordships held that it wasa maintenance grant made by a Hinduto his wife, but that she had forfeitedit because she had been proved to havebeen unchaste. In regard to the seconddocument, which was a grant of £1250monthly, they held that this was not main-tenance grant, but was a deed of gift,which was fully operative.

They, therefore, gave Sitadevi a decreein accordance with this document.

The case is likely to be brought to thePrivy Council.

NOISIEST CITY IN THE WORLD

PARIS WINS NEW DISTINCTION.

Owing to the curious fondness ofFrench motor drivers for continuouslysounding their horns Paris has becomeincomparably the noisest city in theworld (says the correspondent of theManchester Guardian). The famousdramatist M. Henri Bernstein, who livesin the Rue de I’Universite, once thequietest streets in the quieties of quar-ters, finding the endless hooting insup-portable and his work rendered quiteimpossible, contracted with a firm ofareniteets to have his study made sound-proof. At great cost the walls andceilings were lined with cork, but whenall was done the nuisance was as greatas before, and the author was obliged,for the sake of his work, to transferhimself in quiet rooms in an expensivehotel. Recently the Siene _ Courtawarded him heavy damages against thearchitect.

The case has lead the papers oncemore to utter vain protests against theintolerable din of the Paris streets.In the Journal M. Clement Vantel drawsattention to a new horror—the instal-lation in the streets of loud-sepakersof ear-splitting intensity for advertise-ment and other purposes. During thepresent carnival the 'municipality ofNice is transmitting throughout its mainstreets music and speeches, through in-struments that bellow like a thousandbulls of Bashan united in one roar.Already this horror has made its ap-pearance in Paris.

“We must resign ourselves,” writesM. Clement Vautel, “ for this is whatthey call progress. Whether we likeit or not publicity will force it uponus. Nor will the politicians consent forlong to refrain from using it. It isonly too easy to imagine in the nearfuture a super-loud-speaker installedupon the top of the Eiffel Tower thatwill compel use to lend ear to its poli-tical vociferations.”

The cull cowwas now being hurried off as soon as pos-sible after detection to the place wherea tin packet awaited her.

Magna Charta Day, June 15, is expectedto be celebrated this year by a largernumber of peoplfe in the English-speakingworld than ever previously.

The day is not a legal holiday,but the practice has been in GreatBritain to recognise it by the issuanceof a Royal Proclamation, while proclama-tions on behalf of the observance areissued also in the United States. ThePrime Minister has intimated that theNew Zealand observance of the day willtake the form of an appropriate referenceon June 15.

“If people are cold in the night ex-presses it is mainly their own fault,” saida railway official when it was mentionedthat some passengers had been complain-ing that the carriages had not been ade-quately heated (says the Auckland Star).“ The heaters have been in use for morethan a month past, and all the cars onthe trains are warmed in the same man-ner,” he said. “Passengers often cut offthe steam themselves, while guards fre-quently receive instructions from travel-lers to turn off the heaters because theatmosphere becomes too warm. It reallyrests with the passengers themselveswhether the heating appliances are usedor not.” In regard to a complaint thatno provision was made for travellers towarm themselves whilst waiting for trainsat Ohakune and National Park, it waspointed out that there were fires in thestation buildings. Recently some passen-gers at National Park were accommo-dated in the stationmaster’s office whenthe weather was colder than usual.
