In connection with the approaching County Council elections, it iis stated j that for the four seats in the Soutli- | orn Riding, that there will he several ■ new faces wooing the electing. It is j not definitely known what the sitting ' members propose doing, but there is ! a probability all will again offer their | services, so that the interest of an I election will be raised in the southern district. In the Central Riding there is some talk of at least one present occupant not again offering his services. while it is stated there will be one or two new aspirants for honours. In the Northern Riding there is not apparently any new candidates offering, though it is difficult to guage the actual position at the present time. The new Council will not have as easy a term as the present Council, who hajve been enabled during their term of office to place the financial position of the County on a verv satisfactory footing.

Dr. Baird who is at present in Hokitika has many pleasant things to say of Hokitika, in regard to ite climate as compared with other places lie hag visited, both in New Zealand and the Home ■ Country. He mentioned that conditions in England were on the j improve, though they had been very I hard there for some time. He had I found there was plenty of work to ho- doue in England in his profession, though it was much harder there than in New Zealand, the work being very strenuous. He had considered settling down in Christchurch to practice, nut the difficult times now being experienced in N'uv Zealand had so far prevented his coming to a definite decision. If he decided not to some in Christchurch lie would probably return to England to practice. Ur. Baird is meeting many friends during his stay here. He is leaving on Saturday for Christchurch.
