At yesterday's meeting of the Wellington Red Cross Shop Committee Mr. T. Bush (hoii. treasurer) had something to say upon the matter of lotteries and raffles. The Internal Affairs Department required that fully detailed accounts of all the steps that are taken in connection with these undertakings be furnished. The books should be cheeked by the secretary of the shop, the tickets sold nrast correspond with the money received, and the steps taken fully accounted for, and last, but bv no means least, a guarantee must bo given that the amount collected goes to its proper destination. Hitherto the methods followed had been somewhat haphazard. A clear detailed statement was absolutely necessary in connection with all raffles and lotteries. Mrs. Luko made the suggestion that raffle moneys should be kept distinct from all others. , The wedding took place in St. Matthew's Church, St. Albaris, Christchurch, of Miss Eve yn Alice Nβ ten, fourth daughter of Mr. James Nelson, of St. Allians, and Sergeant Olive Jack<on Wood, of tho staff of Queen Mary Hospital.

A Splendid Balance-Sheet. At yesterday's meeting of tho Wellington lied Cross Shop Committee tho balance-sheet for the last half of 1917 was given. Although tlio statement for tho first half-year lias already been published, it will probably be of interest to many people to have a resume of the whole year's receipts and payments. For tho. first half-year the total leceipts were £2073 Ba. 5d.; for the second half they were £5952 18s. 6d. Tho working expenses for the wholo year—advertising, furnishing, rent, etc.—were a fraction over 2 per cent, of the total receipts. The payments for the first half-year were £1900 to the trustees of tlio St. John Ambulance and I?ed Cross Society of New Zealand and £100 to the Tau'maru Convalescent Hospital, Lowry Bay. In the latter half of the year the sum of £2750 was paid over to the former organisation in answer to "Our Day" appeal; to returned sick and wounded soldiers (New Zealand), £3000; to wounded and sick soldiers at the front, £2800; and to the hospital at Lowry Bay, £225; making a total of £10,775— altogether" a record ■ winch tho workers for the Red Cross Shop and tho committee have good reasoa to bo proud of. A party from Gisborno—Mr. and Mrs. J. Harris, Mr and Mrs Matthews, and Mr. and Mrs. Trafford— are 'visiting Christchurch and the southern districts.

A son and daughter are left to mourn their loss, and they will have the sympathy of a. wide circle : of friends in their bereavement.
