At the local seaside to-morrow afternoon the Shannon Maori String Band will give another of their popular concerts.

Two lads were before the Juvenile- Court yesterday, charged with furious riding at Oroua Downs, as a result of which an accident happened. The boys were severely admonished and convicted and ordered to pay costs.

By Order-in-Council, the naino-of James Reynolds Ilaync, of Dunedin, is to be erased from' the Pharmaceutical Register of New Zealand, lie having been convicted of an offence, which, in the opinion of all members of the Pharmacy Board of New Zealand, renders him unfit to be on the register.
