At the Auckland Winter Show, the butter ehamionpship for most points in four classes was won by the Matakana Dairy Company, with Thames Valley second and Eureka third. A conference of delegates from local councils was held at Timaru on Saturdnv to discuss matters toe county councils have been talking about for some time past. The lirst i was that auctioneer:)' license fees < should be par: to the whole district, i by noing to It!-.; Hospital Board, in- ] strati of gonig wholly to the boroughs. 1 After discussion with the Timaru i borough representatives no decision : was reached, except to hold another ■ conference. : < Mr J. li. Graham lias an advertisement notiying an auction sale of ( forty choice business and residential sites in Te Kuiti. I'lans and lull : particulars are at Mr Graham's office. ; This is a proposition well worth the attention of the speculator, the bnsi- ; ness man or the home-maker. there will also be offered a freehold allot- ; ment consisting of "la acres well situated on a good road and near the centre of the town. The great soprano, Madamoisclle Dolores, had a. maaiiicent reception at Hamilton on Monday evening, when she e.ave a classical programme, embracine, inclusive (if encores, no lower than sixteen items. In response to a must enthusiastic recall, ih.- smigstress gave that ever-new old favourite "Houie S'.veet Home." It is iiitore.-'ting to hear fro.n her able manager, Mr J. T. Muir, that Mclllo. Dolores restrict.'! herself to three or four concerts a week, not attempting to work even a willing voice to death. What might have been an awkward accident occurred just prior to Mdlle. Dolares' leaving her hotel for the Town Hall. The cabdriver had hurried down to the hall with some passengers and returning landed bis cab in the deep gutter, damaging it to the amount of £tu and throwing it completely out of action. Another vehicle conveyed the gifted lady to the scene of her triumph". The dispute which was occasioned : recently by a body of Waikato i sportsmen who wished to separate ' from the Auckland Accimatisation ■ Society and form a separate aceli- : atisation district in the Waikato, is s till unsettled. It will be re- ■ men.la-red that the Minister for Internal Affairs, Hon. I). Butido, announced that unless the disputants came to an agreement in respect to boundaries he would set up a commission to decide the matter. Since : this announcement nothing further • has been heard from him on the matj tor. but the Auckland Society, which : ' naturally will not consider any agree- • ment whereby its territory is de- • : creased, has been busily circulating ! among sportsmen a petition setting i forth its case, which is considered a ' strong one. Thia it, is hoped to pres- ' 'out to the Minister before any action ; is taken regarding: a commission, / 1 though the officers of the Society con--1 : s'uler that they can, if necessary bring ' forward overwhelming evidence in ' ! favour of tilings remaining as they 1 are. „ j The "Defiance" brand of men's J I hats are right out on their own for 3 j style, comfort and durability.
