Capt. Edwin wired at noon yesterday as follows“ Strong North-east to North and West winds, with glass rising.” MrH. D. A. Major, student of St. John’s College, will conduct the, service at St. Mark’s Church, to-morrow evening. The Rev F. G. Evans will preach in the morning and administer the Holy Communion.

Mr A. W. Edwards, Te Aroha’s popular and leading draper, has a replace advertisement in this issue, in which he makes ,the startling statement that he will hold a cheap clearing sale for a few,weeks, during which he,will offer the balance of his summer stock at greatly reduced prices for cash! Those desirous of securing bargains will do well to attend this sale which commences to-day. Numerous complaints continue to be made to us re children romping about the Te Aroha Domain Buildings. We hope now that attention has been drawn to the matter the proper authorities will take steps to stop the nuisance. Pending revision of railway rates, the ' Government have decided to encourage the fruit industry by establishing a uniform rate of carriage, irrespective of distance. -They have fixed a rate o£ 6d for parcels up to 561 b, and of Is up to lewt, for carriage to centre of native fruit, with a proviso that empties are to be returned free 'of 'charge.'' !

‘ Our defenders’ paraded for inspection in the Domain on afternoon last, the 16th inst. There was a very poor attendance, only some 15 of all ranks putting in an appearance Col Goring the inspecting officer, was anything but pleased with the small muster, and expressed his i dissatisfaction at the lack of interest the men seemed to take in the cause which they had sworn to serve. In the evening the Colonel lectured to the men on outpost duty, (using a black-board to illustrate his his subject) and was attentively listened to by those present. On the 30th of the present month the corps go into camp for one week, when it is hoped that every man in the company will make it his duty to attend.
