The New Zealand professional football team promoters have met with a serious rebuff. All the Auckland members of the “ All Block ” team now representing the New Zealand Rugby Union in Australia whe were reported to have signified their intention of joining the professional team have notified their intention of returning to New Zealand and remaining amateurs. The team is not likely now to be a representative one, and the project is being condemned on all hands as likely to drag down the fair fame of New Zealand as a land of pure sport. Six members of the team are now in Wellington. One of the most useful things in the house is to be bought in Te Aroha at wholesale price, ask Johnson and Wigg.— Advt. Once or twice recently in the colony tradespeople have been supriaed to find that in a court of law their books are useless as evidence unless the man who made the entries is produced to swear to the items. Recently a New Plymouth firm of butchers sued a local resident for £3 2s lid, for meat sold and delivered about a year age. The defendant disputed several of the items, and the plaintiff’s manager when put in the box said that the man who had sold the meat from the cart and also the clerk who had mode the entries from the cartman’s book, could not be brought to give evidence. The Magistrate said that in that case there was not an atom of evidence that the goods had been sold or delivered, and he thought the plaintiff should accept a non-suit. This course was adopted. New season’s goods just arrived (see windows). L. Cullen, Te Aroha. —Advt. Reference is made in the annual report of the Marine Department to the wotk of the training-ship Amokura. At present there are twenty-four boys aboard the vessel and four instructors. In addition to being trained for the merchant service, the lads are being taught the use of the rifle. It is mentioned that the Amokura is rather samll for a training ship, as she will enly accommodate sixty boys. It is proposed to appoint a chief officer and a chief engineer shortly. When the summer approaches trips will be made to other ports in the colony; in the meantime, the ship will be kept at her moorings in Wellirgton harbour.

It would seem that there is no scarcity of firms willing to deal in dairy produce this year. At a Normanby (Taranaki) meeting eight or nine were personally represented, and several had written or telegraphed. It is understood, however, that most intimated a preference for selling on consignment. This was the first meeting, it is believed at which the condition was formulated that whether produce were sold or consigned the companies’ agent in London should have free access at all reasonable hours to produce for the purpose of advising his principals as to the condition of the article on arrival on the Home market. Most of the firms conceded this as a condition precedent in any contract. “ Oh dear, oh my, I’ve had wind and fire, trying to shut my shop ; but os long as I know it’s the people’s desire, Billy Berghofer is on the hop, and his bread as it rises will keep him on top.” Probably the coming summer will see the inauguration of an overland journey to Auckland which will be made in two days, thus competing with the oombiued steamer and train journey on more even terms than has hitherto been the case (says the “ New Zeaiand Times ”). It was suggested by Mr Massey to the Premier that when the advancing railhead of the Main Trunk come within twelve miles of each other —which ought to be the case next summer—the Public Works or the Railway Department should provide transport facilities over the gap, enabling passengers to make the journey between the two North Island cities in two days. Sir Joseph Ward informed the leader of the Opposition that as soon as the lines came close enough, the de - partment intended doing what had been suggested, because as a business proposition, they wanted to get the through traffic at the earliest possible moment.

The increasing demand of civilisation upon the organ of sight seems to be making the need of artificial eyehelps very general. The various forms of eye strain call for immediate relief in numberless young people as well as in the case ef older folk. That the adaptation of glasses to correct defects of sight requires special knowledge and skill we are more than ever convinced, and for this particular work it is well to rely only upon tkose who are thoroughly qualified and competent. Mr Samuel Barry, of Auckland, is one whose name is well-known as associated with success in eyesight testing and spectacle fitting, and in another column we have notified the visit of his colleague Mr Jno. Nicol. Residents of the district should take this opportunity of consulting Mr Nicol with regard to their eyesight and obtain the advantage of a specialist’s skill and at> tention. Mr Nicol may be consulted at the Palace Hotel from Thursday, August 115th, te Saturday, August 17th. A WRONG IDJ3A. Many paopls erroneously believe that over-milking is the greatest danger with milking machines. The facts are that the injury was done to the cow by all previous machines while the milk was being drawn, until Gillies hit on the principle of insetting air alongside the teat ajl through the milking, it was thought impossible to overcome this drawback. With the “ L.K.G.” there is go possible ohance of injury to the cow during milking or at any time, even jf the eups are left on indefinitely.Maoßwan and Company, Limited, sole k agents', Fort-street, Auckland,
