LATE LOCALS.

I The Paeroa which arrived from MilI ford Sound this morning sails for Okarito to-night. A spectator at the Trotting meeting yesterday drew our attention to a remarkable coincidence. As the trotter “Lady Somerset” came out from the birdcage to take part in the President’s Handicap, the Town Band which had been playing during the day, happened to strike up the popular tune “We’ve Coom Oop Fra’ Somerset.” .The coincidence apparently had a successful conclusion for Lady Somerset won that race.

| A party of visitors bv motor ear I to Okarito a few days ago were warned by an old resident of the place there ' appeared to lie a change in the weather ; taking place and that if their business i % Okarito was concluded they had I better start north, if they did not want to have a prolonged stay in South • Westland through adverse weather eondjtioife. The party took the (advice and started north pulling up at their hotel in Hokitika within four hours of leaving Okarito.

Readers of the Guardian are good judges of values. They apppreciate a fair and square deal. They know too, when they are being financially bled. It is to be regretted that for the last two months orders for the suits tailored by mail In- John H. Glasson have far exceeded the output, not nearly so many as wished, were able to secure one of these splendid fitting suits before the holidays. The position is new better, and we advise any man wanting a good suit, to write now for patterns. There is no better value in New Zealand today. Prices range from 92s Cd to £7 IDs Od. 'Pile patterns are smart, and von have a good collection to choose from. With the simplified measuring form included with the patterns, customers are guaranteed a perfect fit. If any suit is not made exactly as ordered or fails in the fit, the full purchaseprice will be at once refunded. No risk is taken whatever, you are not a penny out of pocket if you are not pleased with your purchase! Mention the Guardian and note the address, -John H. Glasson, Casliel St., Christchurch, P.O. Box 41.—Advt.

Don’t leave tlio lightness and digestibility of your scones and enkes to chance. Use SHARLAND’S Raking Powder—it is hound to rise. When you ask for SHARLAND’S FLUID MAGNESIA don’t take anything “just as good,’’ but get SIHARLANDS. Best that money can buy.
