The Wellington Hospital Committee have decided to name the new Consumptive Hospital “ The Seddon Hospital for Consumptives.’' A New Plymouth grocer of 25 years’ standing, says he has never sold so many potatoes in paper bags as during this season. But the paper bag system shold be fairly profitable. Tenders are wanted for. clearing about 50 acres of fescue and rushes. It will be let in contracts of 10 acres or more, specifications of which may b° seen at F. S. Easton’s, Moutoa Home stead, where tenders close on duly 19th.

In discussing the attitude of American and British fire insurance companies the San Francisco Argonaut, of May 26th says :—“While British companies will pay no more than their legs’ liabilities, they will pay. How abou : the American companies?” We regret that we cannot make a report even as favourable as the foregoing.” Those interested in the formation of a lodge in Foxton met again last Tuesday evening at the Temperance Hall. Mr Syd. Watson, of Palmerston North, was present. The election of officers takes place at a meeting on the 17th inst., when arrangements will be com pleted for the official opening, which will take place on the 31st. A tent still shrouds the grave ot Mr Seddon, and people continue to troop up the hill to gaze at the wreaths which are withering under the canvas. Ther is some speculation concerning the character of the monument that will be erected on the spot. Tho present brick vault is only a temporary resting place for the casket. Preliminary sketches have been drawn for a family vault, but nothing definite has yet been decided about the form that it is to take. Current opinion favovrs a column tlm* would be easily visible from the harbour.—Post.

The revised team picked to play against Manawatu on Saturday re~t i~;—Full-back, J. Cameron; threequarters, Eiehardson, Tatana, Scott: five-eighths, Carroll and Mack Royal ; half, J. Dunn ; forwards, Bob NowM (wing), McNae, Joe, Shadbolt. Larkin. Marshall, Desmond, Jeffries. The Wanderer plavers being refused by Ma.nawatu Union has made a mark-d difference to the strenth of the Foxton 'team, while Tua Napier was not considered owing to the difficulty of nnfj. fying him in time. It will be seen that the selectors have decided to play two five-eighths in the face of the fact tha* Manawatu are doing likewise. The Manawatu Union entertain the Foxton reps, at dinner at tbs Cafe Hotel after the match.

Mr Goodall had the first row of seats arranged well back from the staging last night, a decided advantage, which may be adopted by other companies. With the other seats arranged as last evening, there will be plenty of seating accommodation. To be seated right under the footlights at our Public Hall is no benefit. One can gaze at too many bare boards.

The July Review of Reviews comes as a surprise, though art extremely pleasurable one. For many years this excellent journal has been sold at ninej pence, but it has been decided to make a forward movement and reduce the price to sixpence. The management is to be congratulated on this move. It will doubtless bring to it a wider circle of readers than ever. Another new feature is the commencement of a serial story. For this new departure a fine one has been selected, “In the Days of the Comet.” The author is Mr 11. G. Wells, and he requires no advertisement. A striking feature is the message of the editor, Mr W. H. Judkins, to his readers, in which he states the aim of the Review of Reviews, and invites the co-operation of the Review readers to help ill carrying them out. Full-page prrtraits are given of Mr Indiana, Mr W. T. Stead, and the late Mr Seddon. An article which is quite up-to-date is one by tlie editor on “ The Gambling Demon in Australia,” with a view of the famous “ Colling Wood Tote.” The character sketch is oil “John Bull as International Host," and is a fine appeal for more brotherly inter national methods than these at present existing. The other parts of the Review are well up to the mark, and if the future issues are anything like this, it will mean that while the price has been reduced the quality is ineresed. Anotable feature is the publication of J?g. peivintp exsveisss. VVe lire - informed that a great demand has set in for the text books of this new, easy, international language.
