Foxton Rowing Club.

Lkst the Rowing Club should drop into slumber again, we once more remind them that they are not taking advantage of the facilities at hand One argument has been freely advanced to us of late, that the fee of one guinea is a prohibitive one. Bring it down to half a guinea, and it is claimed the membership will be doubled, and that the present members will pay their subs., also that the new members will be members alive to their work. Rowing Committee, see to these matters, and do your duty to the members who elected you to represent them. If not, resign in a body! Again w© say, wake up !

The estate of James Chapman Smith, of Dunedin, is of the value of £108,673.

Information was received in Foxton yesterday that sugar has taken another rise of £1 per ton. The Japanese captured, on Hokkaido, the Austrian collier Burma, while conveying 4,000 tons of coal to Vladivostock.

The contract price for the Palmerston North Post office is said to be £5,300. A start will be made almost immediately with the work. It is stated unofficially that Captain Joyce, adjutant of the Wellington volunteer district, will shortly be promoted to the rank of major. A successful trial of the Kulgoa, the largest ferry steamer in Port Jackson, was made. She will carry 1255 passengers, and run in the North Sydney service.

The steamer Nambucca was sold at auction in Wellington on Saturday. The vessel, as she now lies sunken at Sinclair Head, was purchased by Mr Price for £4. The death is reported from Whangarei of John Munro, aged 76, one time a member of the Auckland Provincial Council, Deceased was the first Customs officer at Whangarei Heads. The story that went the rounds a little while ago of a Japanese Admiral turning traitor and being beaten to death by his brother officers, has been contradicted as a purely apocryphal yarn of Yankee origin. Dr Graham, who has announced his intention of leaving Palmerston, proposes to visit japan and China. He will probably spend an extended holiday, but has definitely decided to ultimately return to New Zealand. Captain F. M. B. Fisher, fourth son of Mr George Fisher, M.H.R., has announced his intention of contesting a Christchurch City seat at the next general election, as an " Independent Liberal.”

We understand a copy of the Manawatu H£RALt» was centred in the foundation stone of the New Masonic Hall, laid last Sunday by Bro. Clemstt, W.M., in the presence of a large number of Masonic brethren.

According to the official time-keeper, Norman Barker ran 150 yards in 15 I.sth secs, off scratch, at the Levin sports on Monday last. Pretty good for an amateur, if correct! And he should be heard of again. A happy holiday memory.—Mrs Skinne-Flint (back from the holiday): Oh, Harry, do yon remember that lovely Gorge up the Manawatu ? Mr Skinne-Fint: Remember it ? Rather! It was the only square feed I’ve had since we’ve been married.— Free Lance.

It is with regret we record the death at Palmerston of Eliza Ellen Victoria (Nelly) Dilks, which occurred at that town yesterday morning. Deceased was a sister of Miss Dilks, at one lime teacher at the Foxton school, to whom we extend our sympathy. Messrs Pearson and Co., are having a very successful sale and as their time is limited here would impress on the Foxton residents the desirability of coming early to secure the great bargains offered by them. Everything must go. Remember time is flying, ladies. We will not be here long. According to a San Francisco paper, New Zealand is to be visited by Mr Alex. C. Jeffries, preacher, and father of Jim Jeffries, champion heavy-weight prize fighter of the world. Mr Jeffries will be accompanied by two or three ol her evangelists, and the party were to leave San Fracisco for New Zealand and Australia on 22nd December.

There is abundant evidence in England that a new era is at hand. . .

Our new friendship with France, often onr enemy in the past, but always our colleague in the leadership of western civilisation, has directed the enthusiasm of the public into a new channel. England is ready to recognise once again that there are other worthy races besides the Anglo-Saxon.—lndia. Thirty-three battleships and ninety cruises participate in the world-wide manoeuvres during the summer, representing the condition likely to exist when strained relations exists between Britain and other Powers, whose fleets are represented by skeleton squadrons. The manoeuvre will be continued in 1006, when war will be supposed to be declared.

At a meeting of the directors of the New Zealand Farmers Dairy Union, held at Eketahuna yesterday, the question of improving the factory at Palmerston North to meet the growing demands was considered, and it was decided that rather than make additions to the present building it was better to erect an entirely new factory on up-to-date lines. The plans of a modern factory similar to that at Eketahuna were submitted and a subcommittee was appointed to devise ways and means.

A peculiar thing happened in connection with a Woodville court case, says the Examiner. A Pahiatua. cabman was plying for hire at Woodville on the race days, and refused to take out a license. When asked his name he gave that of “Vile.” The Borough Inspector took out a summons against Mr William Vile, and that gentleman appeared before the court and dearly showed that he was not in Woodville that day, neither did he own a cab which was there. The case had to be dismissed.

At some time or another (says the Ashurst correspondent of the Mana* watu Standard) we have read of cows in Scandinavia existing partially on a fish diet, and metbinks some of the offsprings of the said cows have found their way into the district, as one day day last week the manager of a local creamery caught a fine crayfish in the milk. It is a well-known fact that milk suppliers do not water the milk; but occasionally we have heard of the cans being put into the creek to keep cool, and possibly under such conditions the crayfish crawled into the can, or, as before suggested, someone in this district may be experimenting with a Dexter-Scandinavian-Fish-Diet herd.

A meeting of the St. Patrick’s Sports Club was held last evening at the Manawatn Hotel, Mr G. A. Simpson (Mayor) in the chair. The secretary reported a credit balance of over £lO in hand. It was decided that a sports programme be drawn up, and a committee were appointed to go into the matter and of canvassing and report at a future meeting. A vote of thanks to the chair, and to Mr Levett concluded the meeting. Writing to the Christchurch Press Mr T. E. Taylor denies the statement circulated throughout the colony to the effect that he has declined to accept assistance from friends in regard to the costs of the recent slander Pie says the action was largely a political one, and in view of the fact that he does not profess to be financially strong enough to treat with contempt the cost of the action he will not hesitate to accept assistance. Further, Mr Taylor states that the author of the extract, which the Press republished, is desirous of creating a false impression by his invention.

The Colonial boy delights in the practise at horse-riding. One of these was “Tod Sloaning h yesterday afternoon whilst conveying a basket of bread round the town. Evidently the “gee-gee” thought the youth’s style unbecoming, and with alighting on his hind-legs, attempted to shift the lad and breadbasket from arouftdits ears. There was a fall in bread; but the boy hung manfully to his task, and no other damage resulted—saVe the breaking of the loaves, a swear word or two, and a desire on the youth’s part to “get even" with the moke.
