Ottawa proposes to put a tax of a dollar per head oh bachelors. It is pleasing to us to record much improvement in Mrs F. Cook, who was the victim of a fall some time last week. We regret to hear that Mrs Geo. Nye, one of Foxton’s oldest residents, is seriously indisposed. May Mrs Nye soon regain her health are our sentiments., • • The Foxton Racing Club’s programme, advertised in another column, should bring forth large nominations, as owners are well catered for—both with prize money and suitable distances which should considerably help to popularise the meeting. Rumour has it that Bro. Fox is resigning his present position as assistant at All Saints’ Parish. Prior to coming to New Zealand, Bro. Fox was connected with the social work surrounding the slums of Whitechapel. We understand that it is Bro. Fox’s intention to remain in this district for some time and conduct mission work independent of the church. The Salvation Army paid a visit to Foxton on Saturday night, but did not meet with much sympathy at the hands of the Foxton youths. If these youths do not approve of their following they should at least give them British play. They like it themselves ! Doubtless the Army will visit Foxton no more on Guy Fawke’s Day. A final reminder of the concert to be held to'morrow night by the Sports Committee should not be out of place. The dodger programme to be distributed to-morrow will reveal the fact that good artistes will face the footlights, which should be sufficient guarantee for a big house. The presentation of trophies will also take place. A dance will be held at the conclusion of the concert. Amongst the visiting vocalists is Mr Phil. Williams, who has gained a big reputation in the variety world of late years,,

A five-roomed house, situated ii Union street, and owned by Mr P. Guerin, was mysteriously burned down during Saturday night. The house was unoccupied. The cause of the conflagration is wrapt in mystery. The total amount of money received by the Government for grading flax since September 30th, 1903, is £4466 The cost to the colony for grading is £3BOB. Extra officers and increase 01 graders’ salaries will absorb the balance^ We would direct attention to the stock sale at Himatangi on Monday next. Some specially good lines *are to be offered, including Cows in milk, springing cows, calves and weaners, forward bullocks, and almost every form of cattle. A trap and harness and a half-draught gelding wdl also be put under the hammer. It may be just as well for wrongdoers to know that a special watcl will be kept at the Pudlic Hall to-mor--ow night, so those who are inclined to leave themselves open for conviction may take the hint. The Kissing and jeering which goes on at times will be best left alone to morrow night tor the Committee have no two minds on the matter; Enough 1 ' A small but very rich piece of quartz studded with gold was turned ,up at the Boulder Bank by the Harbour Board dredge, says the Nelson Mail. The specimen would probably, assay rooz to the ton. An expert,- when shown the.stone, proclaimed that it was very like Bailer stone, and that its presence was perhaps explained by the theory that the Duller once emptied into the sea near Nelson,

When the special show train was entering the Gorge on Friday night an accident occurred at a sharp bend near the first tunnel. The train Was travelling at a fair speed, and the carriage platforms Were packed with people. A sudden jolt threw a boy named Thomas, a girl named Travers and a young man named Cade, off the train. Fortunately all fell clear and escaped with severe cuts and braises.

. Guy Fawke’s Day was celebrated by the yohth of Foxton in real earnest. But these boys should remember that fun can be carried too. far. They'had ,no legal right to molest the Army Lassies as they did, whilst in the act of worship. A joke is all right, but let it stop at that! Certainly the youths responsible for the misbehaviour were too young to be capable of knowing the risk they ran to feminine cares, but may it not occur again.. ; Parents could do worse than keep these unruly boys under their control. Suffice Owing to Tarawera being h’gh a sand bank at its outlet has been washed away, leaving a passage of :oo yards where an outlet of only 40ft existed be fore. The result is that for two miles there are foaming rapids terminating in two splendid waterfalls, one having a drop of 400 ft. The lake had dropped nearly 6ft on Thursday evening and is falling at the rate of three-quarters of an inch per hour. The extra body of water finding its Way into the adjoining country has caused considerable damage to bridge approaches.
