At the meeting of the Sohool Swimming Bath Sooial last evening special mention was made of tho servioes of the two secretaries, Messrs T. G. Lawless and J. S. Wauohop, for the suocesslul manner in which the recent function was oarried out. The net proceeds amounted to £ll4 2s--103, and we hope that the Government will be prevailed upon to subsidise the amount on a pound for pound basis. A speoial display of Mr W. Young’s paintings will be made at Messrs Miller and Craig’s auoffon matt this evening, the exhibition being open from seven o’clock.

A fine specimen of a frost fish was secured on the Waikanac beach on Wed* nesday.

The funeral of the late Oaptain and Mrs Nicolas takes plaoe at 2,30 this afternoon, the site selected being an eminence in the cemetery just above the graves of the orew.

There will be a field day at the Police Court to-day, with a large number of oases brought by the police under the licensing Act and the Weights and Mea Bures Aot. Six licensees are to be obarged w th bottling liquor for sale without de* stroyiog the labels on such bottles, and also for selling liquor in bottles without having destroyed the labels. A number of tradespeople will have to answer obarges of having unstamped weights and measures in their possession. Three bskers will be oharged with selling un* stamped loaves. Another interesting case will be one preferred against Sergeant Williams by a leading lioeneee for knowingly purchasing liquor in bottles on which the label had Dot been destroyed. The Marino Department has satisfied itself that the Matthews patent incandescent vaporised oil ocoultiog light is preferable to the light now used in the various ports of the New Zeal&od coast, and it is to be brought into general uso as far as possible. One of the lights is to replace the fixed lights at Jack’s Point, near Timaru, and will bo shown there for the first time on August 23rd, One will also be installed at the present lighthouse station at Penoarrow Head. Our Waipiro correspondent writes under date July 20 :—“ The loss of the schooner Aotea with oil hands has indeed cast a gloom over Waipiro Bay. and it can at most only be eurmised how the wreck ocourred. Perhaps the strangest part of the whole affair was the fact that the vessel wc-s oast upon the beach over huge boulders, eto, bottom up, with only the plating broken in one place, whilst the surf boat usually used in landing the oargo was washed up high and dry right side up, and with tho oars placed in it os though ready for use, The other boats, deok cabin, masts, and machinery were smashed to atoms, and can be seen strewn along the beach for about two miles. The vessel has been opened and a thorough sea-ch made amongst the cargo for the bodies of those IcsS but no trace of any was found Toe oargo was found to have been stowed away trim and tight, and dispelled the idea of shifting cargo having been the cause of the dieaster, Diligent search was made by day and night for signs of the bodies, but without success until early on Saturday morniDg, when three bodies wore washed up about a mile from the place where Captain Nicolas and his wife were fouod.” Our correspondent then gives fuither particulars as already telephoned. “ Oi oourse we have not swallowed aJ[ we bea-d and read about New Zsaland at Horn'-,” said one immigrant to a Post reporter. “We discounted about 75 per cent, and trusted to providenoe and strength for the rest." 11 1 left my wife in Auckland,’’ remarked tho other. “ I heard too many tales about' Shy—what’s that plaoe " Taihape 11 Yes, that’s it. It’s ptetty 1 hot,’ isn’t it ? Well, I'll try and get a few shillings together and then lock round and see if I oan make a little home for myself." " I left my wife and family at Home,” No. 1 volunteered, 11 1 thought I had better spy out the country first. I just got a letter to-day, aod they stem anxious to get berp.” The immigrants had evidently heard stories of the high oost of provisions up country. Tho paokiug charges in the wilderness positively appalled them, but the 'know ledge that if they worked they could make decent wages and pay their way seemed to inppiro them with hope. The tradesmen on board are similarly hopeful. They all appear confident, and that is a characteristic whioh is ever , growing in prominonoe as a commercial asset. Moet of the immigrants oalled at the Labor Bureau. Fifteen were sent to the railway works at Taihape, and the others who cannot obtain employment at their respective trades wete to to bo sent on j next day.

Two touring Australian journalists now [on their way to Qisborno overland write of Napier : —That Napier can justly lay claim to the title of 11 Beautiful Napier” there oan bo no doubt whatever, for aftor tbo somewhat monotonous sameness of tbo majority of provincial townships Napier, with fine buildings, clean, well-lighted streets, its beautiful parade and handsome private residences, stands out as an oasis on which it is good for tho town-loving I traveller to feaßt his eyes. As a tourist resort it is idealistic, On overy side one is greeted with realistic scenery, scenery that is altogether apart from the wild, rugged mountain views and fern-laden landscapes seen olsewhere, The pretty glimpses of winding road passing by well- ! kept gardens or trimiy-cut hedges end ! iawna that.adorn the residences, hero end | there rs glass house or conservatory hidden away id iho foliage faintly shows itself, tbo picturesque wa'fc along the parade, tbs ! well-dressed pedestrians sod the root o! i the motor-oar ai: deoeta prof parity, whilst 1 the very air iSsolt seems to net as a bracing tonic to the fortunate inhaler. The sojourn I in Napier will to us, thanks to pleasant surroundings and kind hospitality, long remain as a pleasurable incident connected > with our visit'to New Zealand,
