The replies given by Borne children to the Mayor who was objeoting to their acts of destruction in Viotpria Park ajitly illustrates the amount of Veneration paid to parental or omcial control by the rising generation.

We wonder what would make them care. The chairman of the Wellington Hospital Board has visited the site of the .Otaki j hospital and expressed himself pleased with the Bite chosen.
