The programme of the Westland Troting Club for the midsummer meeting appears in this issue. The stakes total £6OO. The New Zealand Cup will be run this afternoon. There has been quite an exodus of Coasters to Canterbury this year for “the big week” which opens in Christchurch to-day. At the Overseas Club at 2.30 o’clock on Monday afternoon a citizens’ presentation- to Rev. Or. J. Holloway will be made in connection with his botanical research work. As another function is to be held the same afternoon punctual attendance is enjoined on subscribers and others who are invited to | attend the presentation which .will be a j public one made by the Mayor. I A meeting pi the Wanganui exe- : cutive of the P.P.A. passed a resolution denying the accuracy of statements made in the House of Representatives -by Messrs Holland find M’Callum ■ against the Rev. Howard Eilliott, and | challenging those concerned to repeat them outside the House ; further thalI lenging Mr Holland to prove that the ! agitation against the Ne Temere de,- ■ twee was the work of one man, or that his statement concerning Mr Elliott was not wholly unfounded. If Mr Holland can prove either of his statements the executive will pay to he Wanganui Hospital £IOO, provided he does the same should he fail. Mr McCallum is similarly challenged. The Minister of Public Works, (the Hon. J. G. 'Coates) has made up his mind that it is not advisable to go on with 'the 'South Island Main Trunk Railway line from Blenheim. In company with Mr Furkert (Chief Engineer of the Department) he will, in the recess, go oiver the route of the line. Expert opinion is that , the original route proposed is not the best one, and that the line should go along the valley of the Wairau Mr Coates thinks it might be quite a good thing if the settlers and others interested agreed to construct tlieir own line up tlie Wairau VattSyt However, after he laid seen the country himself in company with the Chief Engineer, he will be better able'to say what line of policy should be adopted. A good deal of interest and some little excitement? was caused at the Wellington ferry wharf on Tuesday morning on the arrival of the Maori from the South (says the “New Zealand Times”). When tlie vessel had berthed tho passengers were temuorarily '■ prevented from landing, and a number of police officers went on board. By and by the passenfers were allowed to land, and sonie little time jater the officers of the law, escortipg a young man, came down the gangway, entered a motor car, and drove to the central station. It subsequently transpired that after the arrest of Matthews in connexion with the Timarn murder, on Tuesday night at Lyttelton, he\represented that another man who occupied a cabin on the Maori with him was an accomplice. Tlie Wellington police were acquainted by telegraph, and accordingly the young man was detained on the arrival of the vessel here. However, although he boarded the vessel at the same time as Matthews lie was able to give a satisfactory explanation of his identity, and his movements and he was no longer- detained.

It will be favourable placed for observation this week and' during the early part of next week. i | A Dunedin correspondent telegraphs: Heavy stocks of boots and shoes are being sent from Australia to New Zealand. They are of all grades.; The | Australians are seriously over-stocked. lltI It is said that this unloading upon - New Zealand has already brought about a reduction of prices in Wellington, ibut so far there is not any such reduction in Dunedin. Cement is to be despatched at once to relieve the shortage at the Arthur’s 1 [Pass Tunnel. The organiser of the Canterbury Progress League (Mr P. R. !
