' Nominations for all events at the Reefton Jockey Club’s autumn meeting close on Saturday night next.

On concen-; tration and analysis (states a Dunedin correspondent) it gives a gold value of over £2OO a ton. I ■‘The thing that impressed me most when I came back to New Zealand was the great amount of work that must be j done in this country,” said Mr G. T. , Watson when replying to the toast of | the “Returned Soldiers” at the Can ; tel'b'ury Cricket Association's smoke i concert on Saturday night. “Only bv ; hard work and a certain amount if patriotism can we make the best of the great adantages we have. It is the duty of all to encourage enthusiasm, work and patriotism for without them tlie country would not be worth a . It is up to every cricketer and every man to bear that in mind.”

The extent of the feeling against Britain in America was alluded to (says the Auckland “Star”) by one of the passengers on the Makura last week. He was amazed, he said, to see to what an extent this feeling obtained among the people at various places, and it quite a common thing to hear it stated that Britain had done nothing in the war. Some of this, he said, may have, been due to American brag, but much of it appeared to emanate from the large foreign population in the country and was fanned to a considerable extent by the Ilearst newspapers. This course of action was to be deprecated because the conditions in the two countries differed to a very material extent.
