I The jumble sale to be held in tho Public Hall, Koiterangi in aid of the Copper Trail fund takes place on Wednesday evening next, and from what we can gather is going to bo one of the groa t successes.of the season. Our Koiterangi friends are going to make it a huge success and financially. this is already secured by tho substantial support’ given. The gathering on Wed-

nesday evening will add grist to the Copper Trail Fund in no niggardly way. A ball will follow and patrons i while helping a good cause will bo ablo to while away a few hours in a very pleasant manner. There promises to he quite a number of outside visitors to tho gathering. ! Entries for the Patriotic Competitions close finally to-night at 7.30 o’clock. This joint eommttee meets at the Overseas Club this evening to complete the final arrangements. The, box plan for the two days and nights the competitions will run at the Princess I Theatre, will open at Mrs Browne’s on Monday morning, when seats may be reserved. There are over one hundred entries for the competitions so that two gi-eat programmes will be presented, crowded with variety m nius- * ic, song, dance and story. The event besides being of an entertaining char- | actor, finis its educational side, and 'young and old will derive pleasure and profit from attendance at the patriotic gathering. j Tho usual meeting of the Druids’ Lodge was held on Thursday evening. A.T). P.A. Bro. Blank presided over a good attendance of members. Before j proceeding with the ordinary business i of the lodge the arch-Druid made feel- | ing reference- to the loss the Drudic or- ! der had sustained by the death of the 1 lato Bro. Fletcher, N.P. Grand Trea- ' surer of the North Island.constitution. A motion was passed conveying to the ' relatives of the deceased the sympathy 'of this lodge. At the conclusion of the meeting the members took the opportunity to make a presentation to Bro. W. Toker, who is home on final leave.

I members regretting the departure of ' Brother Toker with the hope that he I ho would return safely. A presenta- ! tiition was also made to Bro. P. Nolan l in honour of his recent marriage. Both j brothers replied tnanking the members ! for their kind remarks made and for the j uil’ts which would always remind them of the good feeling which existed : amongst dho .brothers of Westland I lodge. The gift in each case consisted of a sot of military brushes. Hokitika amateurs have done well I always iu comic opera. Their latest venture is ‘‘Paul Jones,” which is to be under te Uitoalge of the past master in theatrical productions—Mr. Tom Pollard. Something special, not to say superfine, may he expected oil this occasion.” “Paul Jones” is a very lively opera, full of quips and cranks and wanton wiles,” and lends itself to a very jolly entertainment. The story is quite coherent and might be told without music, but told tunefully it is delightful. Being a Pollard production the opera will he staged very completely in every detail. The dressing from all ac-

counts is to ho superb, while the mount ing, lighting and other' accessories to add to the ensemble, will be on quite a lavish scale. The opera will be staged here for only three nights, which if wo mistake, not, will bo all to short to satisfy local theatre goers. With Mr. Pollard’s usual consideration for patriotic purposes, the proceeds from the first night’s production will be handed entirely to the Westland Patriotic Fund. This munificence is much to be appreciated, and is another example of the thorough ways Mr. Pollard has of doing things. By way of prophecy: Princess Theatre will not hold the people will gather for the opening ceremony of “Paul Jones.” Special buying advantages—Men’s black cashmere, finish socks Is 3d pair, men’s Irish lawn handkerchiefs, full size, .
