The Manawatu Herald. [Established Aug. 27, 1878.] SATURDAY, AUGUST n, 1906. OUR BAND.

A SUGGESTION is put forth in another column by a correspondent regarding the safe-keeping of our band instruments, which should be attended to. As the correspondent intimates, it must be heartily sickening to band members to have their practice rooms so often changed of late, and seeing that the properties of the band are solely the properties of the Borough, there is no reason why the Borough Council should not set apart some special room for the storage of this valuable property, and also where practices could be held. The suggestion seems to have been put forth at an opportune moment, when the present Borough offices are likely to be vacated, and it is quite possible those in authority may consider the project of allocating part oi the present building to meet the demand and requirement. But the band must act themselves, and we would suggest that a deputation from the musical institution wait on the Council at Monday night’s meeting and thus bring the matter under the notice of our civic heads, A brass band is an institution which should be aided in its endeavours to supply musical wants, and we certainly approve of “Ex-Bandsman’s” remarks regarding the want of a room that could be occupied with regularity. The public should support reasonable appeals made on behalf of baud funds, and if the Foxton Borough Brass Band go about the affair judiciously and show the public they merit the support asked for, we feel sure the public will not be found wanting.

At a well-attended meeting of citizens at the Library Rooms last evening (the Mayor in the chair), the fund arranged for the purpose of making a presentation to Guard Carroll was reported to be in a healthy state. It was arranged that an illuminated address be presented, and that Mrs Carroll be made a gift with the balance of the money'. The Mayor and Mr A. D. Clemett were appointed to draw up the illuminated address and select the presentation for Mrs Carroll. Nothing was decided as to when the presentations will be made, but in all probability it will take the form of a social evening. We learn there is no possibility of the s.s. Moa being removed from her present position in the river before next spring tides. Amongst the donors to the local sports in November should be mentioned our local photographer (Mr J. Starck), who is giving an enlarged photograph of tire baby winner as the iirst prize in the baby show.

Perhaps the biggest bullock ever killed in Foxton was on view at Howau’s butchery this morning. It was purchased from Robinson Bros., and weighed r,2yolbs., the fourquarters reaching 34011J5. and the hindquarters egslbs each. A special meeting of the Foxton Borough Council will be held on Monday evening at 7-30 to consider balance-sheet and settle same. The general meeting follows, when some important business is set down for hearing. The rope-works opening day has been fixed for next Thursday afternoon at 3 o’clock, when the public are cordially invited to be present. Mr John Stevens, M.H.R., will perform the ceremony, after which the works will be thrown open to everybody. We understand afternoon tea is to be provided by the directors. The local Defence Cadets, lady and other friends had a jovial time at the schoolroom last evening, when euchre, games, etc., were indulged in to the hearts content. Mrs Whiteliouse carried off the ladies prize for being most experienced at euchre, and Ken Furrie was the sharpest amongst the gents.

It is probable that the sample rooms so kindly lent by Mr and Mrs Haywood will be utilised as the gents dressingroom at the SubUnion Ball, while both dressingrooms at the back will be used for the ladies. This will mean that the gents will gain an entrance at the front door. There will be a lady in charge of the ladies rooms and gent in charge of gents room.

A leading Sydney manufacturer, who has just returned from America, was surprised to find that many of the Americans regarded Australia as part and parcel of New Zealand. He attributes this to the fact that Australia had neglected to advertise herself, whereas wherever one went advertisements describing New Zealand as a tourist resort and place for settlers were to be seen. A heavy percentage of Americans regard Sydney and Melbourne as being owned and controlled by New Zealand. At the Manawatu Hotel on Wednesday evening last the railway employees met to say “ goodbye ” to Guard Carroll in a fitting manner. The affair took the form of a presentation (a handsome set of carvers), and in asking Mr Carroll to accept the same, Stationmaster Rodie referred in a eulogistic manner to the many good qualities of their departing guest. Guard Carroll suitably thanked tin donors, and though sore at hear! at 'having to leave pleasant associations, he felt pleased to think he had made such friends as were present. The health of Mr and Mrs Carroll was toasted with musical accompaniment. Guard Carroll and family left yesterday morning for their new abode, but we understand they will return on the occasion of a presentation to he made to them by townspeople shortly. The unusual sight was seen at Dover recently of a passenger who bad booked a passage to America refusing to leave his carriage and having to be carried on board by no fewer than 20 seamen. The passenger was Machnow, the Russian giant, who has appeared at the Hippodrome. He was on his way to New York by the Pretoria, fie has an aversion to the sea, and at the last moment, in spite of the tearful entreaties of his wife, refused to leave the railway carriage. He was dragged out by 20 seamen, carried up the gangway, and deposited in the comfortable suite of rooms that had been prepared for him.
