In the Court of Appeal tho case of Hall v. Rex arising out of the Kaukapakapa railway crossing accident was argued on law points, after which tlie Couit reserved its decision. In the L-.nver court plantiff was awarded damages of £1000. It is intended to hold a Bazaar at Kaukapakapa, on 12th Pecbmber. in connection with the l >resb\ terian church. The ladies throughout the district have been working for some time past, and it is hoped that their efforts will be very successful. One of the newest ideas in motor tyres is to have treads imbedded with a number ul parallel strips of spirally* woven steel fabric running around the circumference. The effect is some 90,000 upstanding spirals of steel wire interlaced with the rubber. The combining of steel and rubber in such a way is expected to secure increased durability and to produce a tread, which is proof against surface cuts and punctures. It is also claimed that the steel spirals assist the escape of heat from the tyers and thus tend to keep down their temperature. » Mr W. H.
