With to-day's issue we give the illustrated supplement promised. To those who have made the trip up the New Zealand Rhine it will prove a pleasant souvenir, and to those who have- not, it will be an inducement soon to make such a trip. The photographs were taken, by a son of Mr Willis, of Wa> ganui, and the two of the river have never been published bef j/'j.

The second team of the Foxton Football Club played a team from Levin on Saturday afternoon> The play was not ezoiting, as the Levin men rolled up in suoh a small number that they had to get five Fozton men to help them— the result was Foxton 18 points to Levin 3. The second fifteen play a match against a Sandon team at Sanson on Saturday next. From the Pelorus Guardian we learn that our new postmaster and Mrs MoDermott were entertained at the Havelook Town Hall last week, Mr Erskine expressed the .feeling of regret that was so universal at his leaving, and Mr McDermott suitably replied. Throughout the evening dancing was kept up with g eat spirit. •:■'■ An interesting find was made (says the Southland News), during the recent trip of the Hmemoa on that part of the Auckland Islands known as Fairchild's Garden in the form of what appears to be the last joint of the claw of a lobster, similar to that found in English waters. It is fully six inches in length, two and a quarter inoh«a broad, and on« {tn<J a ha'.f inches d«»p.

The Times says that another paper, to be called the Levin and Wereroa Guardian, is to be started at Levin. The football -awn between the Palmerpcon ana Feilding Clubs to have been played last Saturday was postponed by the committee of the Ragby Union owing to the weather not being favorable. As the Palmerston men did not journey to Feilding, a telegram was received from the Feilding Club claiming the match, but the decision of the committee is not likely to be npset. The high rates of freights charged by the shipping companies are Causing some discussion. At a recent meeting of the Wairarapa Agricultural Society, it was stated that some short time ago a vessel which cost £70,000 came out from Home with a cargo, the freight of which amounted to £10,000, and took produce, etc., away, the freight charges on whioh were £30,000. The expenses were £5000 each way, leaving a' profit on the trip of £30,000, from which bad to be deducted such oharges as interest on capital, insurance, etc A clear profit of about £30,000 was made on the one trip, most of which was at the expense of the people of this colony. A case of some interest to hotelkeepers was heard before Judge Denniston at Christchurch on Wednesday. . It was an appeal from the decision of three Justices atßangiora fining a publican under the Beer Duty Act for patting a sypben into a cask without' first destroying the etampn Hifl Honor held that'aa there had been nx£ withdrawal of beer, no offence had been Committed) and upheld the appeal. - A white kiwi— a rara avis— h&a been brought up to Wellington from Martin's Say by tbe Hinemoai ' . ■ Another chanoe for Fox ton. A company has been incorporated in San Francisco for the manufacture of bricks from sand. The stone brick which it is proposed to make will be manufactured from powdered stone, or the elements contained in stone, suoh as satid, clay, etc. These substances are mixed with 1 a.prepftrad dux. wbidh acts its a bond, holding together the jlartioles of sand or other material used as a filter, tbe whole being thoroughly annealed by heating.- Among the advantages claimed for the bricks is the saving of time, only ten hours being needed for their manufacture instead of eight to thirty days, a much less consumption of fdel, scarcely any loss from biirriiDg, a crushing strength from 10,000 to 4Q,0001b, and a reduction of cost to three-fifths of that of the old style brioks. The Selection Committee has chosen the following team to represent the local olub ia the cup match against the Palmerston North Football Club on Saturday next at Palmerston : — Forwards, J. Desmond, (captain), Shadbolt, Liddle, Warner, Faulkner, R. Wallace, Ward, Lee and Armstrong ; , half, L. Stansell; five-eighth, P. Robinson; threerquarters, Tuhera, B. Wallace, B. Eoblmda ; full-back, Kiriona* Emergencies: — Baoks, Hori and L. Fume; forwards, E. Dunn and Rand. The team is a strong one, and should give a good account of themselves. It is to be hoped the team as eeleoted will be able to go, a3 the inclusion of others at the last moment considerably weakens the team. The forwards are a strong combination, and the back division can also be reckoned to be fairly so. More than ordinary interest attaches to this ma' e"h as on the last visit of the Palmerston team to Foxton a drawn game was the result after a closely-contested game, and later on in the first cup match with Feilding they easily defeated their opponents, so that a capital start hag been made.
