Akers, the 18 year old son of Mr and Mrs Akers of Three Mile on Tuesday. He fell and broke his tea bottle which cut his right hand almost severing the little finger and .badly the next two. The young man is now progressing as well as can be expected. He was successful last week in passing his examination for the violin on which instrument he is giving, much promise-. The Fire Brigade Ball in the Soldiers’ Hall attracted the- largest attendance the hall could hold, and it proved a great success. The floor was perfect, the music supplied by Boss’ Orchestra; was excellent and capital extras were supplied- by the Black Hand Orchestra and Miss Jacobs. Supper arrangements in tlie hands of Mi's Preston, were very satisfactory, and Messrs J. Coulson and H. Davidson, who had charge of the floor, kept the dancers -busily occupied until an early hour this morning. The hockey competitions for the Milligan Cup were advanced a further stage yesterday afternoon under ideal weather conditions. At Victoria Park Cobden won from Ruuanga by two goals to nil, and Hokitika defeated United B by five goals to nil, the scorers being Misses 0. Stapleton (2), Hall and Olsen, while a penalty goal was also collected. The combined play of the winners was too good for their opponents. At the Recreation Ground.

The Education Reserves Bill, rend a first time in the House of Representatives on Tuesday, is a consolidation of the existing law with respect to the administraton of education reserves contained in the Education Reserves Act, 1908, and its various amendments. The measure contains no amendment except of a verbal nature, for the purpose of clarification. The Bill deals with public school sites, primary and secondary education endowments, and high school reserves, and others. The Government measures affecting surveyors were read a first time in the House of Representatives on Tuesday. Provision for registration and licensing of surveyors is already made by the Surveyors’ Institute and Board of Examiners’ Act, 1908, the provisions of which are not considered to be sufficiently elastic to enable certain rules to be made to secure a proper measure of reciprocity between New Zealand, Australia, and other places. As an amendment of the Act is required to bring this about, opportunity has been taken to separate the law as to the registration and licensing of surveyors from the provisions relating to the incorporation' and proceedings of the Surveyors’ Institute, and at the same time bring tho law as to registration in conformity with more modern statutes dealing with similar matters, ns for example, tho Engineers Registration Act, 1924. These objects are being achieved by tho Surveyors’ Registration Bill and tho Surveyors’ Institute Amendment Bill.
