Signor Bragato states that the operations in the Wairangi vineyard have this season been very successful. Last season tons of grapes were obtained from an acre and a quartet, from which 500 gallons of wine had been produced. It was of light quality; much lighter than the Australian.

This action is to be taken in the interests of New Zealand wool is fall ing off, and the price has naturally decreased. New Zealand wool is of a coarse texlure, and can only be made up into rough material. The organ of the tailoring trade does not think his Royal Highness will have very much difficulty, as the present popular taste ■is still in the direction of coarse material, and if a number of other leading men follow his example no doubt course materials will become the rage.

During the war much has been said about the deficiency of local information amongst out troops. The other day Q.M. Sergeant Jonson showed us a map covering their march around Wepener and it was a very detailed plan showing all the holdings and kopjes.

We notice that the masters of the Wellington school are wholly against a procession of the children, and from the reasons given we think rightly so.

.Sir Joseph Ward sent on Tuesday following telegram to all Mayors and chairmen of public bodies in the colony“ A number of requests have been made to me to have a special day set aside for the celebration of peace. I have given the matter very careful consideration, apd I think that in view of the very enthusiastic and spontaneous demonstration throughout the colonv, that a special day is hardly necessary. I would suggest that as Coronation Day is close at hand, that both events be suitably celebrated on that day. 1 think that this will meet with general acceptance by the public. I should be glad to learn that you can see your way to tall in with this proposal.” The record low price for lambs was touched at the Feilding sale on Friday says the Advocate, when not a very bad lot went for yd per head.

Many thousands of sheep were then kept for weeks eating up the grass when their carcases should have been well on the way to the London market. Messrs Abraham and Williams Ltd. hold a stock tale at tUvia to-morrow.
