JUVENILE COURT.*: A sitting, of. the Juvenile. Court was conducted by . tbe .Magistrate, jyir. \V. A. ffarton, yesterday .morning, when three very neatly dressed boys, one-aged 11 and the other, two aged 12, accompanied bythe :res[)ective fathers, were charged Atutlfiti-es-passing on the railway line between itakauroji Hoard anti Ormond. They all pleaded guilty. ' Constable • Doyle stated that the lads were seen along the line about an hour before the obstruction was found. -They had not been, able to prove that they had actually done it, and they themselves denied, having done so. They were found on the railway. The charges wero brought as a caution. The first lad’s father said the hoy told him they put nothing upon, the line. . . His Worship said-he yvga , prepared, to believe that they' did not. They had no right) upon the'railway at all. Ho would not, inflict a. fine this time,, but if they, were found upon the line again, whether they put any obstruction there or not, it’ penalty would:be imposed:The second defendant also came forward, and his - father explained that the. schoolmaster sent- them to erect a . target and: they returned on the;-line, as it was shorter for them to get home. His Worship remarked that what he said in the first case applied equally to the others. Tie dismissed the informations. - -. H .

HOCKEY. A visit to tlio main school yesterday disclosed the fact that almost every other pupil, boys and girls, were in possession of hockey sticks. In the schoolroom corners quite a number were stored during lessontime. Sticks of all .shapes and sizes wero there, anything bearing a resemblance to the'genuine articlo bbing'pressed into service. Evidently? the gamo has come to stay. ‘j
