The 'Minister told Mr I*irani that the question of police control in Palmerston North was under consideration, as it was considered Sergeant Slattcry was too old for such an important station, and a younger and more energetic man was ie> qufred thore. A?, the Sergeant, however, was the senior officer of that rank in the force it was desired that no iujustice should bo don" to him, and therefore what should be done was being carefully considered. Horse-owners ara reminded that nominations for the Otaki Maori Racing Club's popular Birthday Meeting close to-night at fl o'clock, with the secretary, Mi' H. ]?. Eagar.

Trust in this approved article and eject all others. — [advx.] One of the drawbacks of country life, at least to the small settler, is undoubtedly the increased price he has to pay for any articles of clothing or general drapery, by reason of the extra charges for freight or carriage. This drawback need exist no longer, for extra charges are done away with under the new parcel system which has been inaugurated at Te Aro House, Wellington. Under this system any of the parcels advertised will be s^nt to any address in New Zealand, post free, the prices charged being exactly the same as those at which the goods are sold over the counter in Wellington. As may be imagiu"d, however, this liberal offer is only extended to cash customers, and all orders for advertised parcels must be accompanied by cash for the amount, before the order can be exeouted at Te Aro House, Wellington. In illustration of the system we will give an example. Take for instance No. 7 parcel, which con ains 7 yards of double width stylish fancy check tweed ; 2 dozen buttons and silk and twist to match ; 2 yards of body lining and 4 yards of skirt lining. This complete parcel will be sent, post free, to any address on receipt of 15s 9d, from Te Aro House, Wellington.
