The heads of the Order refuse to return the money, on the ground that is was an unconditional gift. The Christmas number of the Weekly Press is to hand, and it is astonishing the amount of letter press and illustrations given for the money. Not satisfied with the number by itself the proprietors give two large pictures, one “Spring” and one “Our Boy” the latter well worth framing. In the body of the paper a splendid full page photograph of Mount Binser is given, which would be well worth training. Fiftysix pages of good stories and views of Maori life, and places, besides views of the colony as it has been transformed from a stale of nature to high production, makes the paper one most useful in explaining the progress the colony has made to friends at Home. Many numbers will be purchased to let those in the Old Country see that we have been anything but dozing during the few years we have been in occupation of it.

The Acting-Premier informed his audience at the luncheon in connection with the opening of the BlenheimSeddon railway that the order for potatoes for South Africa which the New Zealand Government had recently secured for growers in the colony was worth about £I I,OOO.
