Nominations for running, cycling and horse events at Marton Sports, to be held on March 17th, will be received up till Wednesday, March 11th. The tracks are in capital order and some keen contests should result. A sensation was caused in Lyttelton on Saturday afternoon when three revolver shots were heard in Oxford street. It turned out that a man named Muir had been shot at'by Frederick Hall. Hall had not been long out of gaol where ho was imprisoned for an assault on Muir. On Saturday he saw Muir and saying “You think you are going to get out of this, but you are not” fired three shots at him. Muirps reported to be mortally wounded. Hall was captured by the police after a chase, during which he twice attempted to use his revolver which, however, misfired.

Five days’ imprisonment for telling a telephone girl to go and hang her self seems a rather severe punishment ; hut such a sentence has just been imposed in a Vienna court. The Local Bodies of tbe"district have been cited to appear before the sitting of the Conciliation* Board at Wanganui this month with regard to the demands of the Labourers’ Union. s

Vessels arriving at Auckland report terrific weatfier on the coast. The Union Co. ’s Wairuna experienced an exceptionally heavy sea crossing the Bay of Plenty. Several outward bound vessels returned to port. The damage done to small crafts is estimated at £IOOO. Four oil launches broke adrift during the night, and were battered to pieces. Saturday’s land sale of the Hirstlands’ estate, Normanby, was highly successful. 1300 acres in lots of 34 to 80 acres brought £48,000, an average of £34 10s per acre. The land was, practically unimproved. The prices are regarded as very high, but it is remarkable that all the buyers are men who have lived years in the district and should therefore, thoroughly understand values.

The rough-and-ready methods adopted by some natives in the healing oft he sick were, it is stated, respnsible for the death of a native girl named Jessie Kake, in a settlement north of Hukereuui, in the Auckland district. While she was suffering from inflammation of the lungs, she was. according to the report, dipped into”a creek, with the result that she expired shortly afterwards. A tangi was held, and the body remained uuburied until Saturday, four days after death, when a warrant to bury was obtained by the police.

While some of the Auckland ministers have been protesting against cadet camps, two clergymen at Petone have been encouraging the cadets in their work, and impressing on them what beneficial results may follow a period of camp life. In the course of an address at St. Augustine’s Church the Rev. J. D. Russell (Anglican) said he was not one of those who saw any danger in allowing boys to go into cadet camps. On the contrary, he was of opinion that much good had been done and could still be done by such camps. This view is also taken by the Rev. A. Thomson, of St. David’s Presbyterian Church, Petone.
