To the Editor : Sir,—l do wish you would call the attention of councillors to the miserable state of Coote road from the police station to the Rev. J. Campbell's school. It was bad enough before commencing to lay the water-piping, but the read now having been rooted up, it has been left in a most disgraceful mess. The cost would not be much to put the road in order, the means of repairing being alongside. If you can get the best side of " Lamb " I'll stand mint sauce, green peas, and new potatoes.— I am, &c, Coote Road.

Mr W. Gr. Motley has received the Southern Cross Petroleum Company's exhibits at the Cbristchurch exhibition, and they certainly form a grand collection of the products of the company's mineral oil deposits. Mr Motley will show them at the art exhibition at the Athenaeum, together with an explanatoty card, and they are certain to attract much attention. A very large interest is held in Napier in the East Coast petroleum companies, and the evidence of the richness of the mineral oil deposits on the Southern Cross estate will be gratifying to the shareholders.

A most disgraceful disturbance was created on Saturday night by a party of humorous individuals, whose fun—the creation of too much to drink—took the form of awakening- the inmates of the hotels by violently knocking at the outside doors. We presume the police must have been at the end of their beat furthest from the Post Office, or we should have heard of some ot these gentry being put in the lock-up. It poor old Paddy Lynch had created one half of the nuisance that these people aid ne would have got a fortnight's gaol, and public opinion would have said that it served him right

We remind our readers that at 8 o'clock this evenins? the Athenseum fine art and industrial exhibition will be opened The original intention to open the exhibition at 2 o ? clock was departed from in coneeqnence of so many late applications having; been and ifwill be a matter for surprise to visitors that such a capital display of exhibits has been made. After this evenmg the exhibition will be open from 2 to 6 and from 7 to 10 p.m. for the remainder of the week. The price of admission is one shilling.

Modern research in pharmacy has provided many remedies for preserving the beauty of the human hair and preventing its premature decay, and as a natural consequence not a few spurious compounds manufactured in, foreign countries by disreputable persons have been foisted upon the market under the name of genuine preparations. Professor Moore's hair oil,however, stands alone on its merits, and once used is always used ; it renders the hair charmingly beautiful, and effectually prevents it from falling off. To be had only at the Medical Hall, Waipawa.—[Advt.J "In hoc signo vincimus " might well be attached to the trade mark that accompanies, or rather indentifies, as it were, Udox.pho Wolfe's Schiedam Abomatm Schnapps, for wherever it appears it expeditiously accomplishes its work, and fulfills its high and noble mission. In particularly obstinate and chronio cases it may not summarily attain its end, but a persistent use is sure to ultimate in pronounced achievement. Where there are conflicting , elements, final triumph may be deferred, but on the standard raised by superior prowess, victory will eventually perch.— [Advt.]
