1 A correspondent writes to the ; strait ford Post thus: —"While his ! Excellency tins Governor was addressing the people at the Stratford •■ailwa.v platform on MoiKlay, he .hewed evident signs of .annoyance •ft the fact that shunting was going m close by, with the attendant ■creeeh of the whistle and the ■rash of rucks coming into collision. The. Governor was heard to remark: ! T cannot hear myself speak: this I thing has been going on all the I time.' Eventually word was passed |- n and the noise ceased. On the | ''ay of the King's funeral, while the ! Dead .March was being played, the | ••latter of meeting trucks and the 1 "<*n tin nous screech of the engine whistle was far from pleasant to ; '.lm;r> taking part in the solemn ser- ! --ice, and is all the more regyor,!; ible - because traffic of every description ; was supposed to be suspended for a | 'hort time en that day." !

During April, according to Uio official statement, thirteen Chinese arrived in New Zealand—-12 at Wellington and. one at Auckland. Forty-five Chinese took their departure, over thirty leaving from Wellington.

As Mr Byron Brown and his daughter, accompanied by Mr A. Giovw,_ were motoring i'rom Otaki to Levin early this morning they bad a very exciting experience. Near the bridge at Mnnaknn tliey saw a. man approaching on horseback, at' a poimfc where the road slopes. To avoid running into tho hoiso the ear bad to be twice deflected from its course, ami as a result of the slippery going this caused the wheels to skid, ynd the oar was tihrown over an embankment. Mr and Miss Brown escaped with a flight shaking, but Mr Grover linrl bis shoulder injured sufficiently to medical .attention. All three »'f the parties concerned regard their escapes from more serious iniil ries as Providential. The oar fared rather badly, and it had to r-nne on to Oban "under inrv masts."
