The council > had previously declined an offer by tho f llugbv tnion for a live-year, lease, and s a tender submitted by thoßugby teagtio had been held over to allow the Petone Football Club time to-put in a.separate lender-for the grounds on a lump sum basis. The club, however, instead of otferisig a ■ tump sum., offered to forgo • any proceeds trom the ground', letting > them go to in. lieu of rent. r A-letter was also received- .from the r ■Wellington' Rugby Union stating that r it had made a good.-offer for the I grounds (1 sited 2), and., that the state of the finances'prereutod tt-from going '} further in the waiter, although its sym--7 pathies were witli the Peto.ne Club. Tho V union., would stand, by'any arrangement come to between the council and the II club, provided the arrangement of. matches was submitted to the 'inion for its sanction. _ It was eventually decided, after MI'S morovis motions and amendments Tiid '•s been put forward to postpone discussion i- until tho following motion, of which *. .notice had been given by Councillor rr Townsend,■ came before the meeting: n —"That the'-.whole. of the' minutes rel- lntina to the leasing and allotting of it, the Recreation Ground to tho Potone I* Football Chib be rescinded, and that t. steps be' taken to accommodate both Rugb.v and • League upon' the Recreation Grouiidi' proper." In speaking to the motion, Councillor To«vnsend •' said , r that if the league or tmioii -secured tho l 5 exclusive rights to the ground,, one I would be sliut out.

"THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM AT THE d, TOP'." • ,1- — 'A prominent member of- Parliament" of R ' this Dominion has made a rather inters' resting. observation to the effect that the largest- commercial concern's' of .our cities )k ore to-day managed—not by the sons of e, the men who established tho-firms, but 3 • by men who started life as message boys •' office bays. It can be proved beyond u doubt that in- every sphere of life the I' men who have leached the:totmfef "rnntr of (he ladder" are men who. have right at the bottom. The life story ■; and business career of Sir Thomas Jjipton *•' is a standing testimony-to the faet that it. in the world of commerce, no man, towel, ever humble his calling,' need despair of 3; bettering his surrounding's. 11l the matter d of quality in foodstuffs there is truly <J "always room at the top!" If different standards of quality did not e.virt such a thing as preference for 0110 line over 5r another wOliid also be unknown. The fact ,r thai- Linton's tew aro (Jrnnlt ifi every civilised country in the-world, also bv Mie crowned heads of Europe,, is goad evldcnce of the sienfd wbie.li has accomplished bv Lipten's tea experts. There is, howev.?r. a rcaain behind this \. preference, and it. is beeans? Lipton's has 1,, cstftbiislieil so higrh a standard in quality that the sales aro perhaps the largest in (lie world. Here in Australasia. Mr. H, st C. Till, who lately managed tho firm's liusine.'i; iu thp Old Couiitry, has assumed charge of operations, and. judging by the c- energy being put iiiio (heir frubJicity camvaifn. it goes without saying that the 1,, me'hoiis of marketing, and the nualUy back of their product, will at »o far-dis-iant date, be rewnvM tlironghoni Ans» "" ti'alasia with equal surcess to that which s " has been Mperii'nccrf in (he older eouutvies of the world.
