A peculiar incident occurred at the Wellington Swimming Club’s* carnival on Saturday afternoon. During the j progress of the tub tournament, one of the vanquished competitors, who had been swimming aimlessly about, suddenly dived under his overturned tub, anti stayed there for an extraordinary length of time. None of the participants in the tournament seemed to notice his disappearance. But the spectators did, and naturally concluded that the man bad got into difficulties, and one of their number, a well-known and popular swimming enthusiast, arrayed in a six guinea suit, dived to the rescue with commendable promptitude only to see, when half-way to the tub, the supposed drowning man come to the surface, his face wreathed in smiles. Mr Tom Mann is to deliver a series

of lectures through Australia under the managem’ent of Mr R. S. Smythe, “the much travelled,” who will arrive in New Zealand shortly to conclude arrangements for the tour- Mr Mann will afterwards return to New Zealand.

A paying clerk of the Catherine Railway was travelling the other day in a luggage van with L3OOO in cash, which had to be paid out as wages at the different stations on the line. At one of the level crossings the clerk went forward to the locomotive, and from that moment wasnever seen again. Ultimately part of a human heel was found in the furnace of the locomotive and it is supposed that the engine driver and stoker robbed the man and then burned his body. Daniela, a bootless chief of Mangaia, Cook Islands, who worries around in top hat and tennis coat, has acquired high and mighty notions since Maoriland annexed the group. He at- once placed himself in communication with the Powers, starting with the King of Italy, from whom he besought 100 or so orarige trees. The Italian Government answered the letter, and sent much information re orange culture, but not the trees. Daniela then wrote the German Kaiser expressing profound regret at the death of his mother, and followed this xip by communicating with King Edward, defining the extent of his territory, and hinting at a number of little things which the monarch might very well do at little expense for his far-away subjects. T’other day a grandson was born, and, as a compliment to “King Dick,” Daniela named the youngster Richard John Seddon Daniela. ■ He expects something substantial in reward for the compliment. In fact, the wizened old warrior, who has only one ear, and has lost all his front teeth, has.his eye (he has but one) continuously fixed on the main chance. —Bulletin. *** Subscription to the MOTUEKA STAR : —Three Shillings and Sixpence a Quarter, which may begin at anv time
