■Sufficient .timber has now arrived ‘o enable work at- the Roebuck-road bridge to continue, and operations will ho resumed when the weather clears.

Moll were engaged yesterday in laying metal in Nesbitt-rond. During .lie winter this road was badly cut ihcnit, and as there is a good deal or .raflic at t-liis point, the metal should prove of great benefit.

It was expected that the lii’inin pipes in connection with the wa-ter-.vorks system would all he laid today, hut owing to the rain yesterday loading the -trenches at ’Jo Haparu ■lie work will he still further delayed.

Air. R. L. Edgar, representing Messrs. J. B. AlacEwam and Co., is in town, having come down from Vucklaiul to insneet tllio installation of all 880-gallon ‘cream separator lor the Kia Ora Dairy Factory Company. ;

At Messrs. Williams and Slierraitt’s new building in Low e-fit rent the largest steel girder which fins ever been put in a locifl building was put dn position. The girder was about 50ft long, and weighed 5 tons, and was made a-t Messrs. J. J. Niven and Co.’s works at the Unit, Napier. It is stated, on the authority of members of the Cosmopolitan Club, •that- the charter giving the club the right to sell alcoholic liquors, concerning which strong protests are being made, that the opposition is useless as the charter has actually been signed and is at present in tlie possession of its, .officers. Tho drift of sand at the root of .the groyne Iras become very serious, and to stop it running over into the river preventive measures have had to b P taken. To this end the Harbor Board lias had three rows of rushes put up, running out from tlie groyne towards the flagstaff, and it is expected that this will effectually retard the drift.

The juvenile branch of the Independent Order ol' Rocha lutes held their half-yearly social at Whinray’s Hall last evening, there being about 50 couples present, Messrs. Thomas Holdsivo-ith and L. Clark officiated as M.C.’s, and the music was supplied by Miss R. Moore. The catering was in the capable hands of Mr. AVooton. The floor was in first-class order, and dancing was kept up in a spirited manner until 1 o’clock this morning.

Two gentlemen who were driving up Childers-road in a motor eir on Tuesday evening were subjected to dastardly treatment by some unknown person. As tlie car passed the person in question threw a handful of gravel at them, hut happily neither was hurt. The car was immediately turned round for the purpose of catching the offender, but lie managed to make his escape. The car ivas travelling at a good rate, and the gravel was thrown with some violence, and it is fortunate that more serious injury did not result. Yesterday morning there arrived to the order of Air. Geoffrey Ala clean, AYhatatutu, a- nove.ly in the way of motor-cars. It is a Holsman (Chicago) motor-buggy, and from the look ■of it as it buzzed around the streets ■it appeiys to ho a serviceable article. It consists of an ordinary express body, on ordinary bug<r wheels, with solid indinruhher tyres instead of the usual pneumatic tyres. The weight of the vehicle is about 8001 b, and it is claimed for it that it can negotiate rough places in roads without the gear underneath becoming fouled. Afiss Browning, AI.A. (Dublin), who has recently been appointed the organiser of the New Zealand sec-t-ion of tthe Tlieosop-hical Society, is visiting Gisborne in her official capacitv. She Ins for nineteen years been a teacher in the Napier and Dunedin High Schools and-the AY-an-ganui Girls’ College. She has worked through tlje Dominion, visiting -all the branches from Invercargill, and has found great interest taken in the teachings. Her special work will be to take classes in the branch work, hut- she will also give a series of lectures on the elementary teachings of Theosophy on Sunday evenings. At all meetings questions'will be invited, and one evening will bo devoted, specially to inquirers. The Hon. -J. Cir.roll has replied as follows to tlie telegram sent to him on Tuesday by tho president of the No-dAeenso League ; —“Your wire received, objecting to a charter being granted to the Cosmopolitan. Club. All tlie conditions having been represented as favorable, it was deemed Gisborne had as much right to a charter as any other part of the colony, and that an exception could not ho made in its case by entering a refusal, more especially as clubs are noiv, by our legislation, placed on the same footing as licensed houses, and the question of their existence is dependent on the will of the people.” Hon. Captain Tucker replied as follows: —“Have waited on Colonial Secretary with your wire. He is reluctantly compelled to fulfil a promise given by the late- Air. Seddon, and he evidently regrets having to do so, but says there is no alternative.”

'.Pile soiree in connection with Hie anniversary of the Alatawhero Presbyterian Church, field on Tuesday evening, was highly successful. Tea, provided by the ladies of the eongregitiion, was partaken of at G o’clock, about 130 being present. Afterwards the service of song, “Tim’s Special,” which was given at tllio Pa.tirtalii anniversary soiree, was rendered by a special choir. Before dispersing the Rev. Mr. Gardner moved a vote of thanks to Air. AA'-.it/t, who read the connective story for the service of song, to Miss AA'at-t for presiding at the organ, to Air. Oven den, conductor of the choir, (o the ladies for providing the tea, and to all those, including a small party from Gisborne, who had helped to make the gathering a success. Air. Gardner was supported by Air. Parker, who again thanked those responsible for the sue,cess pf the meeting.

Some of the Cosmopolitan club’s members are highly indignant at the statements made by members of the No-License League with regard to the club’s application for a charter to sell spirituous liquors. One of them expressed his views to a “Tapes exporter thus: —“One of tho members of the League is reported to have said that tho motion to apply 1 >r a charter was only carried by 40 votes to 38 showing that in the club itself there was a strong feeling against ip. Now to show how absurd men statements qro I need only inform von that the total membership of the club in only 53, and it is.rarely that we have an attendance of more than 30. Not only that but after speaking during the last few days to every member of tho club that 1 have had a chance to see I have only come across one who did not approve strongly of our application. Our friends of tho No-License‘League should really be more careful or their statements.”

The following addition has been made to the telephone exchange: 281, Cyril White, Taruheru. •

A Press Association message slates: —“Tho petition from residents in the harbor district of Gisborne on the question of building a deep sea -harbor was presented to Parliament to-day.”

Maoris have a warm spot in their hearts lor the Salvation Army, and Captain Church on his country tour received a number of donations from Hie natives. In one instance a Maori had only a penny in his pocket, which lie diffidently handed to the captain with tho remark, “Kapui the Army, tho best church.”

Captain Church, of the Salvation Army, returned from the Coast .yesterday, after a tour on behalf of the self-denial fund. The captain visited ■a large number of stations and settlements, extending as far as Tuparoa oil tho Coast and forty miles inland. Despite discomforts in travelling, the captain is very well pleased with his fortnight’s trip, all classes of the country settlers having given him a good reception. It is gratifying to learn that to date the donations, so far as the country district is concerned, are practically double those of last year, which is a tribute to the generosity of country folk. Station owners were liberal, and employees on tho stations wore not to he outdone, one and all showing a desire to help on the work of the “good old Army.” Captain Church wishes to convey thanks to all donors.

In reference, to the complaint regarding the manner in which overzealous juveniles have pursued collecting on behalf of tlie Salvation Army self-denial fund, Adjutant Dickens wishes to make an explanation. Explicit instructions were given to the children, lie states, not to he importunate in approaching the : public, and to confine their collecting to tho public thoroughfares. Tlie young enthusiast’s were strictly enjoined not- to enter shops or offices, and certainly it was not intended that they should go near public houses, if by that term the objector referred to means public houses. The aim of the Army, the Adjutant remarks, is to interest the children in a humanitarian cause, and with proper safeguards, silcli as are impressed on the young collectors, there can he no apprehension that the training so given’ will be productive of anything but good. •
