The attention of settlers in drawn to the timetable published in another column by Messrs 11. ,'J. Free and Co., coach proprietors. The firm has taken over the coach service hitherto run by Mr 11. I']. Lewis to I'io Pio, Aria and Mahoenui, and in future a daily service is to be run between Ana, I'io I'io and To Kuiti. Tim service between To Kuiti and Mahoenui is to be twine a week, leaving To Kuiti on Mondays and Fridays at ,S a.m., mid ieaving Mahoenui on Tuesdays and Saturdays at the name hour. The new timetable comes into force on November LTith. Asked during the course of an interview if there were any indications that the tightness in ihe money market was disappearing, ihe Minister for Finance said that he thought that there were such indications. The newspapers during the past few days had shown that that stringency is not now so great as it, was. If the great Powers were not drawn into the Balkans trouble, it was unquestionably the case that, (be settlement of the work would appreciably all'ect the tons of the moncymarket. His own opinion was that the questions arising out of the war, such as Ihe division of territory, would be settled amicably; at least be hoped that they would bo so settled. J'he formation ol a swimming club for To Kuiti has been spoken of ior soni" considerable time, and with the object of definitely forming such a club a meeting will be held in the Chronicle ollice to-morrow evening at 7..'10 o'clock. We trust that the general budv of the public will assist in the formation of the club and atttend in numbers. The absolute necessity of proper and convenient baths must appeal to all, and the swimming club will certainly have dona much good to the town in creating facilities for bathing and regulating the proper time and place for the sport of swimming. Society leaders in New York and Philadelphia are striving to suppress some of the eccentric dances that have lately found favour in the ballroom, such as the turkey-trot and the bunny-hug. They claim that these dances are suggestive and "undulatingly affectionate.'' Sitting in shady nooks is also condemned, and the supply of champagne is to be '.'reduced by all those hostesses who are joining the movement. Five hundred Edinburgh students and others indulging in a procession wecked a shop whore placards alleging cruelties by vivisection were exhibited. A hundred police endeavoured to ell'ect arrests, and in a fierce light several on both sid;:s were injured. Twenty-live students were arrested. The special anniversary services to be held next Sunday in (tie local Presbyterian Church promise to be of a very effective :ind inspiring character. The Uev. W. White, M.A., of Waihi, is to be the minister for the day, and many of his friends now in this district will be pleased to hear him onco again. The choir have been preparing music to enhance the helpfulness of the services, and will render two of the best antheun, nanu'lv, "Trie Kadiant Morn" and "Daughter of /don."
