This stop has been taken owing to the apathy of fruit growers in sending in returns. The Cabinet has reappointed Mr Arthur Guiness to Victoria College Couucil. Ministers to-night decided to instruct the Agent-Goneral to close with the Blue Star Line for a South African steamer service, certain difficulties wfiich arose having since been removed.
