Manawatu Herald, 21 August 1902, Page 2

The Indian Coronation contingent had a great send-off at Southampton on their leaving to return to the East. Mr J. R. Stansell has taken over the flaxmill at Shannon from his son. Mr Richard Marsh, the well-known trainer, has presented to Lord Kitchener the American-bred racehorse Democrat (Sensation —Equality) for a charger. The port was exceedingly busy on Monday four steamers being at the wharf, all coal laden. A Wellington paper published some nonsense from its country correspondent about the bar of the Manawatu being silted up. As a fact the bar is a good as ever, there having been over twelve feet of water when the steamers crossed it. Mr Meldon has sold out of his flaxmill and business at the Oroua Bridge and intends taking a prolonged holiday. After the naval review, the King signalled his entire satisfaction at the appearance of the ships and their companies. The railway Department has kindly given the Borough Council an object lesson in asphalting, the railway station platform have been laid down in it, as well as the foothpaths at the railway station-master’s garden. We trust the Borough men have watched how experts do the work. Mr George Coley received a shipment of 100 tons of coal from Mokan on Tuesday, brought by the ss., Mokau. The coal bore a capital appearance but opinions are much divided as to its burning qualities. The King’s Coronation gift to Westminister Abbey consists of a golden crucifix, supported at the base by the Virgin Mary and St. John. The Portuguese expedition which recently left Delagoa Bay against rihe Barne tribe on the Zambesi was successful. Three hundred natives were killed or captured. A phonographic record of Fijians singing “Home, Sweet Home” has been sent to the King.

On Tuesday the Chief Justice granted a decree nisi in the divorce suit Thomas Richard Porter v. Haunare Porter and Te Rama, dissolution on the grounds of adul-

Floods in the Kwang-si drowned thousands of people.

In the course of the evidence given at the Arbitration Court in Christchurch in connection with the furniture trade dispute, some rather remarkable statements were made, says Truth, Fof instance, it was asserted that although the imported furniture was not anything as good as the coloniallymade, the public would have the former. “ The polish and shine is all that is in it,” was the comment of one of the union representatives, speaking of the imported furniture. The chief steward’s account of the Drayton Grange disclosed heavy consumption of liquor on the part of the officers. The office of Mr Quong Tart, the well-known Chinese resident of Sydney, in the heart of the city, was. entered at noon by a man, who felled Mr Quong Tart with an iron bar, inflicting severe wounds on his head. The man robbed the office of £2O, and escaped. The Northern Luminary states that recently a party of three visited the sunken wreck of the old ship Boyd, which was cut off by the Maoris at Whangaroa Harbour in 1809. They each had-a grappling iron, and in a few minutes fastened on to a piece of copper, which on being brought to the surface was found to be one of the rudder gudgeonsits weight is 2241 b, and it is of solid copper, being none the worse for being under water for 93 years. t A volcano, which is still in eruption, overwhelmed the Japanese island of Torishima. All the inhabitants, numbering a hundred and fifty, perished. Mr Preece advertises poultry farms for sale. A few years ago it would have been imagined that to do so was jesting, but the people are waking up to the fact that the cackling ben will ,be the bird that pays the “lint" far 1 better thin the Irish pig. Those working in the neighbourhood of Foxton and Pyke’s road have an opportunity of obtaining a cheap freehold close to their work and the ideal spot for rearing birds on. The advertisement should demand great attention. Mr Samuel Barry In his changed advertisement gives a few indications by which one may learn if glasses should be used. The sight has had very much attention paid to it by specialists, and it is extremely foolish to put off attending to one’s eyes if they in any way manifest a weakness. “ A stiich in time saves nine," is as applicable to eyes as it is to sewing. Mr Barry is within convenient distance for consultation. „

The Rev. Mr Harris, speaking at the social to Mr MacDermott pointed out the value of advertising remarking that a man who did not advertise reminded him of a man who kissed a girl in the dark, they might know what they were doing but no one else did. The Reverend gentleman’s remarks fell upon good ground as an advertiser promptly called upon us with a notice, the result, he said, of Mr Harris’ speech. At the last meeting of the Horowhenua County Council a letter was read • from the Manawatu County Council agreeing to withdraw objection to construction of the Shannon bridge provided the Council were prepared to give an undertaking that their share would not exceed one third.— The Council decided to inform the Manawatu County that their share would not exceed on third, less the Government subsidy.

Mr Farrington has sold his farm near to the Wirokion bridge to *Mr Charles Symons for cash. Mr Farrington has secured 700 acres from the natives a little further ou the road to Poretawhio than his old farm. We understand Mr Symons’ deal fortells another important step in his life.
