LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.

The Christchurch "Weekly Press" Coronation Number comes at the appropriate moment. It haß a magnificent scarlet and gold cover, and is crammed with illustrations of their Majesties in all aspects and stages of sheir lives. It will prove a interesting souvenir of the momentous ; and impressive ceremony taking place to-morrow. i The fuotball match between the Te Kuiti and Otorohanga senior teams, which will be played on the Domain ground on Saturday next, should prove to be an interesting and exciting game. The winners of this match it is expected will have a good chance of winning the banner and capß.

By a slip of the pen our report of Mr Hazelton's apeech made him appear to say that there were one and a half million police in Ireland and half a million in Scotland. The figures reallj refer to the coat of the police not their numbers. There are 10,700 police in Ireland. What aeema like a record shot was made on Saturday last by Mr Jack Boddie. He was out shooting Caliafornian quail, and killed seventeen birds with one shot. Can any reader beat this? It is a relief to householders in Te Kuiti to know that the milk famine ia now at a end, a new firm of milk suppliers having bought out the late milkman and giving delivery of this welcome household necessity. The week or so that people went without milk illustrated very forcibly for how many household requirements milk was necessary. Mr Graham will sell at the usual mart sale on Saturday a large assortment of useful and seasonable goods, also a good spring trap etc. Mr Graham will also submit on Saturday 7th July some nice suburban section by auction, ranging up to 5 acres. Mr Wm. J. Black notifies in an- J other column that he will commence business as a shueing and general smith in Taupiri street, between the Waitomo County offices and the saleyards, on or about July 3rd next, and trusts to have a fair share of public patronage. Attention is drawn to the advertisement appearing in this issue drawing attention to the act that the A. and P. Association are holding a .ball on Tuesday, July 4th. As the object of the function is to augment the funds of the Association, there will no doubt be a ready sale of tickets and a large attendance at the Hall on the night of the Ball.
