■ Messrs Cameron (District Traffic .Manager) and Jeffreys of the Railway Department, Greymouth, were in Hokitika yesterday and met members of the Chamber of Commerce and other business men and discussed at some length matters in connection with requests for t improvements in connection with the j railway traffic at Hokitika.

Shelley in the course of a recent address at Canterbury College. ‘The average person has received an intellectual education v.hich has made him dissatisfied without giving him the basis for removing the cause of that dissatisfaction. It *as caused, amongst other things, social unrest, and one of the most serious factors in social unrest in England today is the universal mistrust that, exists—a mistrust that goes on from the top of society to the bottom, with the same thing in polities. No nation can last very long on a basis -of mistrust, but only on a basis of mutual help and trust.”

; Of tile “new blood” so far as enoccms an appearance on Australian soil, > Fender commenced his county career with Sussex, but is now playing for Surrey. He is a forcing bat, good change bowler, and brilliant in tlie - clips. Russell (Essex) has been one of the batting mainstays for his county r for tlie past two seasons. Wfiddington 1 did brilliant work with the ball in bis first season (1919) for Yorkshire. He bowls left band, medium pace to fast, and his delivery is free from any suggestion of labor or undue effort. Dolphin, another Yorkshiremaii, will be tlie second “keeper” of tlie team. K. H. Spooner (Lancashire) is a brilliant bat. He played for England in tests in 1905, 1909, and 1912. 11, Makepeace lias played regularly fur Lancashire for several seasons. H. Howell is probably the Warwickshire bowler. He captured 48 wickets for his county last season. Hendren (Middlesex) is a brilliant bat.
