Shortly after, the commencement of t-iie West v. Veterans Rugby match at tnc domain on Saturday afte-rnpon E. L. Shaw, captain of the Veterans team, liafi .the m't fortune to dislocate his right shoulder when tackling a player, lie- received attention from Dr. Little, and this inoriijtog entered the Thames llespiial to have 4 the shoulder operated upon and wired. In connection with the Roller Mills Shield conipct tion, in conversation Mr 11. J. Bloiw, manager, of the Auckland A team, expressed his kebn appreciation and ■ gratitude for the- generous •Hospitality accorded his .team by the people qf Paeroa. The boys hall thoroughly 'enjoyed their stay in the town. Mr Blow also paid a tribute to Mr ETurner (president) and. Mr J. E. Insley (secretary), of the Thames Valley Primary Schools Rugby Union, for the complete arrangements and peifert harmqny wir'ch had existed during tlie live days that the Auckland boys had taken part in, tlie competition.

Mr A. M. Samuel, M.P., gave optica in the House of Representatives on Thursday to ask the Minister of Pensions whether lie would this session introduce legislation' providing for a reciprocal agreement between Great Br.ita.in, Australia, and New Zealand to overcome the present unfair disqualification; of domicile.

A scene o,f animation presented itself at- the Paeroa railway station- o», Saturday evening when the Auckland A primary sehqol Rugby football team, which had been taking part in the Northern Roller Mills Shield competition at Paeroa, left for home. During their stay here the visitors made many friends, who asembled to give them a send-off. Officials of tlie Primary. Schools, Paeroa, and Thames Va,lley Rugby Unions were also present. The train pulled out to the accompaniment of chee-rs and mutual farewells.

Local weather conditions- op, Saturday were line, but yesterday they were very unpleasant. During the morning an easterly wind* prevailed, bringing with it cold sh<toers o.f rain. As tire afternoon wore on the wind increased to a, gale,’ and torrQiitial rain fell. During the 24 ho.tirs ended at 9 o’clock this morning 1.55 inches of rain were recorded, which makes a to,tal of 2.16 'nches for the. week- The barometer this morning was unsteady at 29.75 inches. The temperature .was 50 degrees, ami the thermometer, showed a rising- tendency. The wind has veered round to a soubli-afiterly direction. The rainfall has not made any appreciable difference to the amount qf water in the Ohiii.emuri River.

In- view of the splendid record put up by the Thames Valley Primary Schools teain in 'tlie Nortliern. Roller Mills Shield comp'eti.tion, local Rugby supporters have made rara.hge.inents to give the team a fr.ee -trip to Auckland. Tlie boys will leave Paeroa by the s.'s. Taniwha on Wednesday afternoon. and in all probability will play a nialeli at Eden Park on Thursday inqrniiig. They will leave again for Paeroa, by steamer..on Thursday n;ight.

Sing -you the songs I love. Tlie songs of Home, Sweet Home ; Best spot on this fair earth. No m.a.tter, where you roam. Affection, mest. and calm, Love, and a welcome sure. And on tho kitchen shelf Is Woods’ Great Pcppernrnt Cure.
