Passengers— From Bruce Bay, Messrs Bannister (2), Allen and Stewart. From Okuru Mr and Mrs E'.

Greymouth is going to beautify Boundary street reserve, and .also open a King’s Park. Wake up Hokitika, and don’t let “the second fiddle” lead the orchestra!

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 bo regretted that for the last two months orders for the suits tailored by mail by 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 6d to £7 10s Od. The patterns are smart, and you 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 purchase price 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, Cashel St., Christchurch, P.O.
