Owing to unavoidable circumstances it has been found necessary to postpone the Bowling and Croquet Club's ball, which was to have been held on July 3rd. At the last meeting of the Te Kuiti * Chamber of Commerce a request wan > received from the Moeatoa qettlers for assistance in linking up the line at Moeatoa with the line from Te Kuiti, which has reached as far as Mangaohae. It was resolved to assist the settlers in every way possible, and blbo to strongly advocate the linking up of Waitomo and Te Rau-a-Moa by telephone in order to establish direct communication between Te Kuiti and Kawhia. Notice of intention to take land in blocks 14, Maungamangero, and 11, Awakino East survey districts, Awakino County, for road prposes, is given by advertisement appearing in this issue.

Arnst and Barry have paid their second deposits of £2OO towards the stakes of £SOO a-side for their race on the Thames for the sculling championship on the Thames on July 29th. In our advertising columns we draw attention to a new advertisment of Mr J. E. Hillary, who has started business in Rora street, near the Alexandra Rink. Mr Hillary is desirous of securing a share of public patronage, and his efforts wi'l be directed to the reduction of the present high cost of living. The business will be a strictly cash one as it is recognised that book debts add to cost of provisionscash customers paying for book debts. It is the intention of Mr Hillary to sell at a price that will secure a quick jf turnover. Kerosene will during next * week be sod at 10s 3d per case. The groceries and provisions stocked will be the highest quality and prices the lowest in Te Kuiti.

At a meeting of the members of the Te Kuiti Congregational Church last night, it was unanimously decided that a call should be extended to the Rev. S. Griffiths, of Devonport. As will be seer, by advertisement in

another column a meeting is to be. h held on Wednesday evening next at the County Chambers for the purpose of discussing °ths establishing of_ a freezing works in the district. As ivlr Gadsby's clearing sale is tu be held on the date mentioned it is anticipated n large number of country settlers will be present.

Banish the cough and cure the cold, says Mr J. E. Walker, in his replace advertisement. He states further that his famous Cough Linctus will speedily cure colds and coughs. The clearing sale now going on at Messr3 Blackmail and Co.'s warehouse, Rora street, is proceeding apace. The satisfaction expressed by customers at the low prices and high values is universal. A special feature of the "mark down" policy for the next few days will be concentrated on table covers, hearth rugs, door slips and furnishing draperies generally. There are still some bargains to be had in the crockery department. A number of sections aggregating 1639 acres in Aria, Ohura and Pouatu survey districts are tu be thrown open for selection undre the optional tenure.

Maori gathering at Te Kuiti ii still in full swing. . Dr Pomare returned to Wellington in time for the opening of Parliament, but Sir James Carroll prolonged his stay until yesterday. The death of a young Maori named Wera on Wednesday resolved the meeting into a tangi and from appearances the gathering will be prolonged for some days yet.

As will be seen by an announcement appearing in another column, Mr C. J. Ryan, of Taumarunui, has consented to be nominated for a seat on the Taranaki Land Board. It would be difficult to find in the whole district a man more suitable for the position. One of the oldest settlers in the district, and a Crown tenant of many years' standing, Mr Ryan has experienced all the vicissitudes incidental to pioneering the backblocks. Possesing a sypmathetic and thorough knowledge of settlement conditions there is little doubt the interests of the settler and of the Dominion could not be placed in better hands that those of Mr Ryan. The advantage of having a man on the Borough Council who is in touch with the native idea 3 was exemplified at the Maori meeting on Wednesday night. The natives were discussing the taking of the reserve at Tc Kumi as a sanitary depot and were making some rather wild statements concerning the matter. Mr E. C. Falwasser, a member of the Borough Council, v.-ho was present, took advantage of the occasion to explain the position from the European point of view. His explanation was listened to attentively and satisfaction was expressed hy the Maori? at having the matter placed clearly before them. At this week's meeting of the Education Board Mr E. C, Banks gave notice to move at the next meeting: "That, in view of the late Sir John Logan Campbell's generous bequest of £20,000 to the Auckland College Council for the purpose of founding a Chair of Agriculture, the urgent need of makins some adequate provision for the teaching of agriculture, either in connection with the Auckland University College or through the medium of a properly enuipped agricultural college somewhere in the Auckland province, be Egain brought under the notice of the Government, and that it be urged to take such steps as are deemed necessary to give effect to this proposal." The New Zealand Government hag

refused an invitation to send boys to * the Commonwealth Nava! College, on "' the ground that the establishment or a New Zealand navy is not contemplated, and that therefore there is no present necessity for training naval officer'. Should such an eventuality occur the New Zealand Government stated that the Dominion will be glad to co-operate with the Commonwealth
