MOTOR REGISTRATION.

In rit>\v of the fact that there are still some motorists in the district who have no regard for the rights of other users of the public roads, it would be &dvis. able if the Motor Kegisirntion Act of last session were put into operation. The Act is designed principally to render tiu> detection of offenders in the matter of speed more easy, it makes no provision for a maximum.'speed, which, however, 'can presumably he fixed by the local authority enforcing the Act. The Act provides for the registration of motors (with registration '

marks; at a fee of 10a for motor and sjs for motor • eye He** and jwMjti©# are provided for, any p*rw>» fraudulently using or altering sucti registra- " lion mark** • It i« fsiriUer «iipMiat«i that in any district where ifc fen* bees brought into force, : no unregistered motor *hal! be used. T2i#« provi»ioo* only apply to district* whote gowning ftUthoriUo decide by resolution to wail themselves thereof. The Tttieri County Council and the Waihi Borough Council Jittfe decided to wake the Act operative within their boun lan>*, and it would be welt if the local Borough Council and .Kwranga, County Council considered the admableaeM of taking similar steps. The M *.vovATi? KVK.MN« SrAXi'tßi' H ill he published as u*ual «a Monday next. A team from the Manawatu. Golf Club will visit Wanganui on Monday.

Two arrests were madis at Marton yesterday i n eon aretkm wi th burglaries at the White Hart ana Club Hotel* m that town. The town wa* this morning enveloped so the thickest rai*t experienced for a long time pa«t. The clouds of vapour hung about for quite a good wnile, until they were dispelled by the sun. Monday next being a public holiday, the shops in Palmerston will be closed ail day. They will in consequence be open all day on Wednesday. The school* in town will also observe Monday as a holiday. From present indications the milktesting competition at the Winter bhow will be fjuite a feature. Already twelve entries hate come to hand and it is anticipated that before Tuesday evening next {when entries ebsef the number will have increased to about a score. The general business meeting of the Y.M.C.A. last night was very well attended. Mr Low presided. After the various stems had been disposed of a pleasant time was spent with game# and short speeches. The number present was very encouraging and indicated that the Association is growing fa>t. The President of the Chamber of i Commerce reported at the meeting last night that a good deal of work had been done in connection with the Exhibition and excellent progress was being made. There would be no difficulty in get liny all the space taken up. It wan. found uecessary, however, to raise another £&K) to carry out the scheme.

He was fined lOs, plus 2s eab hire, in default 7 days' imprisonment with hard labor. Messrs C'. f K. Waldegrave 'and S. Abrahams, J.'siP,, presided.

" Bid you ever "know of any vessel except the .Kouga eaptising three times?" asked couum-1 of a nautical witness at she Magisterial inquiry at Lyttelton into the espsizing of "the Honga. " No, I never "did," wast the reply. "Very few vessels get the cim see." Learned counsel apparently realised that one capsize was usually suJlk-ieut to iirush a vessel's career. The fortnightly meeting of Lodge Orient, 1.G.0.F.. A.C., was held last night. Bro. J, McCartv.N.G., presided. The attendance was good. Three candidates were initiated and three new members proposed.
