Extensive claim-pegging has taken place at Heidelberg, Wilgepoort and Klerksdorp, in the Transvaal. Many thousands participated. The proceedings were orderly. General Pienaar, the Boer leader who in 1900 surrendered with 1200 men at Komati Poort, on the eastern border of the Transvaal, and who has since been interned in Portugal, lately got into monetary difficulties. The General came to London, where he was treated so generously that he shed tears at Mr Chamberlain's kindness in assisting him and his family back to Johannesburg, and reinstating him in nine town lots which he owned there.

Mr Hogg speaking at the monthly meeting of the Victoria College Council considered that civil engineering was one of the first subjects that should be taught in a young country like New Zealand. Hundreds of thousands of pounds had been thrown away on abortive works, because the engineers who designed them did not understand their business. It was only necessary to go up to the Rangitikai to see the ruins ot bridges in every direction.due to this cause.

The St. Petersburg police made a night raid on lodging-houses, aad arrested nine hundred lodgers who were found without passports.

Times, is at present undergolag _ a course of treatment at Buxton in Derbyshire and intends to return to New Zealand in October.

Mr Ball, our local hairdresser, would never be taken as an ardent sport* that is as far as fishing is concerned, but the following clipping from a contemporary show that his brothers in Blenheim are differently constituted, as it says:—The home of big trout is undoubtedly in Blenheim, and when the piscatorial amateurs of Wellington heconv' he*ter seized of the fact there L A,.!!.; u) i)t. an exodus of fishermen to the picturesque inland town from this contiguous city of Wellington. Including a trip by train from Picton to Blenheim, the journey can be made from Wellington in five and a half to six hours, and it is safe to say that no better fishing grounds for trout are to be found in the colony than those of the Opawa and Omaka Rivers. It was in the Omaka River that the record heavy trout for the colony (aßlb in weight) was caught two years ago by Mr Claude Ball, and it is of interest to note that the same sportsman two weeks ago captured a male trout which turned the scale at iß|lb. The Ball family, which numbers four brothers, are fishermen to a man, and the/ mark of their gum-boots is on every marge and shallow around Blenheim. Mr Tom Ball has caught the first fish of the season for the last two years. Some little time ago the Borough’s property was damaged by an advertiser who painted the town white, he was to be sued by the Town Clerk, but nothing has come of it. The other day the following is reported from Wanganui whose action might be copied with advantage:—An energetic, if somewhat foolish, Wellington advertising agent, under cover of such darkness as a bright moon permitted, busied himself on Friday night pasting the town bridge with bill posters setting forth the qualities and advantages of his wares. He had previously commenced pasting bills up the Avenue, but was stopped by the police. After disfiguring the bridge he plastered telegraph poles and sides of buildings at Taylorville. He was charged at the Police Court with pasting bill posters on the bridge without authority. The Magistrate considered the advertisement worth and accordingly fined him that amount, with 73 costs. Defendant, who did not appear, told Constable Campbell he did not know be was trangressing the law. SANDER and SONS EUOALPm EXTRACT.
