Mr H. Hill delivered a lecture on “ Historical persons and places of New Zealand ” at Napier under the auspices of the United Friendly t-'oeieties. In opening, the speaker referred to the rapid progress of New Zealand since the landing of the Europeans, and said that in 1850 Hawke’s Bay returned no white population save a missionary or two. In 1810 the white population of New Zealand was only 5000 as against 120,000 natives. He described the difficulties of the early settlers in dealing with the natives, and said that Colonel Wakefield acquired an area of land in the North and South Islands equal in area to Ireland for £OOOO, paid not in cash but in razor straps, beads, guns, ammunition, etc, forgetting that by placing arms in the hands of the Maoris they were giving them the meaus of wiping the white population out. F having With Pleasure is enjoyed only by those who cossess good razors. Onr speo,al razor, the razor of the new oentnry, is worth its weight in gold, and fully represents what it is marked. Every man who shaves owes it to himsolf to be folly informed about the excellence and smooth-cutting quality of our tpsjial rezoi, whloh we sell in pairs of 23 ?, in superior oases, or a EiDgle razor for 8a 6d, with round ends, ready for the faca.
