NEWS AND NOTES.
The lirst [private conversation bv wireless between Britain and New Zealand took, place on Tuesday night, when the Prime■■ Minister and Air. Forbes spoke from London to members of llieir family at their home in Cheviot.
The necessity for restrictions on the sale of certain classes of lireworks was evidenced in Wanganui last week, when a girl had a baud badly lacerated while holding what is known as a double banger. A Herald reporter was also shown a strong enamel plate on which a double hanger had been placed before lighting. The force of the explosion knoelked a large hole in' the plate. It. requires courage to back c very horse in a race, on the i liance of there being a big dividend. It would take more courage to hack every horse in every I ace, yet had anyone done so at Addington on Tuesday he would have finished the day with a. handsome. prolit (states The (Suit). Ten shillings invested on every horse m every race for the day would have meant tin outlay of £4B, but in return the investor would have c olleeted a profit of over 50 per , cut. This procedure, however, is not recommended for future race days!
