Popularity of Westshore, In an endeavour to impress upon the Hawke's Bay County Council tb© necessity for the tar-sealing of the strip ofvroad at- Westshore leading from the main road to the beach, Westshore residents last Sunday took a tally of the motor-cars and motor-cjcles that used the road. In spite of the fact that a very large crowd was at Napier watthing the visiting Australian surf team, the watchers counted and recorded no fewer than 840 cars and -12 motorcycles. The Baby Hippopotamus, Good progress is being made by the baby hippopotamus which wras born to Chucka and Bella at the Auckland Zoological Gardens on Wednesday morning. Although it is not yet possible to examine it thoroughly, the uew arrival appears to be healthy in every respect. On account of the weakuess of its legs it will not be able to leave the water and waik about for at least two weeks. Nevertheless, many visitors are expected at th zoo dui'ing the week-end to watch it swimming about near its mother. Memorial Neglected Complaint at the neglect of the Clive War Memorial was expressed to tho Herald-Tribune to-day by a returned soldier, who said that it was an insult to the memory of those who fell in the War. "The area surrounding the memorial is overgrown with weeds, and the general appearance is one of neglect," he said. "I do not know who is responsible for taking care of this memorial, but whoever it is is falling down on the job. The memorials in the other parts of the distriet at Havelock North and Taradale are well looked after and show that the memorials are remembered, but the Clive monument is a disgrace."
