Mr J. C. Dale, Chief Postmaster of Westport retires from the service today. On St. Patrick’s Day, (March 17th), all Government offices ‘ will observe a holiday. The Easter, Wednesday programme of the Westland Racing Club appears in this issue. At a public meeting at Greymouth last night it was resolved that the Prince of Wales he met at the station by the Mayor and Chairman of the local bodies, and that arrangements he made for the children to meet the Royal visitor on Victoria Park. Also it was resolved that all local bodies, clubs,

and friendly societies he written to asking them to appoint two delegates to attend a meeting convened by the Mayor at a suitable date, for the purpose of arranging ways and means to entertain the Prince of Wales oh his visit to Greymouth. Mncnndrew Square, which always looks so trim and attractive, is just nowwearing a very bright appearance. The flower beds are bright with colors, making a contrast with the carpets of

green round about them. The condition of the grounds speaks well for the attention devoted to them, and the pleasant outlook they afford suggests that there might be more of these beauty spots about the town to add to the attractions of tlie. place. Mr P. It. Stewart, who is the honorary gardener responsible for the designing and main-

tenance of this very pVettv garden plot, deserves the thanks of the community for discharging his self-imposed task with such excellent taste and satisfying results. Mr Sydney Ford, of the Rimu Flat enterprise, arrived in town last night. Mr Ford is the mining engineer for the American Company which is to undertake the development of the Rimu Flat goldfield. It is the intention of the United States Company to place a five hundred horse-power dredge on the Flat. What this means may be. instanced by the statement that the Kohinoor dredge, which worked near Ross in the dredging boom here a few years ago, was the most powerful dredge then put on, and was only of

twenty-five horse-power. It is Mr Ford’s intention to take up his residence here. He will inspect the mining property immediately and decide as to location on which to build the hull of the pontoons, which will require to carry about 500 tpns of machinery. The dredge will he worked by electric power, the source of which has not been decided upon vet—it might lie developed by steam power. It will be seen that this undertaking is one of the largest mining enterprises to he undertaken in this district, and the promoters, from the prospecting done, are very sanguine of success.

Readers of the Guardian are good judges pf 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 flip spits tailored by mail by Jpbn IT.
