Previously tluroad grader was used to shape up til’ mad, and afterwards the roller will consolidate the new material.

During tht* debate in the House <m Thursday night says a correspondent, even at midnight, Labourites were still engaged in applying caustic to the feelings of the mend,or for Nelson, who perversely took it as a compliment, as showing how tar lie dill’ered from extremists. .Mr l.ysnar, who v.as watching things, got in the wav of the brickbats. Mr Holland had suggested that noliody except Air Atmore would be stupid enough to say that the Labour Party stood for the break-up of the British Empire. What it wanted was to create a commonwealth of nations. Mi- l.ysnar: 1 would not trust you. Mr Holland : I June a recollection that the hank would not trust the lion, gentleman. (Laughter).

A Christchurch paper says there was some excitement among the crews of the Holmdale and the Calm on Thursday morning at Lyttelton when it became known that lsith vessels were to sail at about •'! p.m. for Wellington. It meant that a race would ensue. Some time ago a race took place between these two vessels between Wellington and Lyttelton, when both entered the heads alvoiit the same time. The Holmdale displayed a greyhound on her mainmast, signifying that she was the faster of the two vessels, but the crew of the C'alm considered that the greyhound was put on the wrong ship. Advice was received at Lyttelton on Friday morning that the winner of the race was the Calm, which arrived at 'Wellington nr 8.45 a.in., the Holmdale at 8.50 a.til., a difference of five minutes. The Holmdale. according to her agents. F. E. Sutton and Company. was at a disadvantage, being more heavily laden. On previous occasions she had beaten the Calm.
