That grapes cau be grown and ripened in the opeu air has been demonstrated by the Morshead Nursery Company. The manager (Mr Green) showed us ou Wednesday some samples of fruit grown in this way.

In adjourning the Supreme Court for luncheon ou Wcduesday, His Honor said that from something that had come to his knowledge it appeared necessary for him to warn the jury that they must not discuss this case outside, or talk with any of the witnesses, or with persons representing the Crown. And representatives of the Crown had no business, either, to talk to members of the jury. He should have warned the jurymen before, but had not done so. It seemed necessary, however, Lo utter the warning now.

Members of the Star Football Club are reminded of the annual meeting to be held this evening in the Town Hall. The balance-sheet 'to be presented shows a very satisfactory state of affairs. There w ere 79 paid-up active members for the season, paying £9 17s (id, and tlie total amount of subscriptions was £lB 2s (id. Total receipts were £75. Assets are worth £l9 12s, and liabilities are only £5 9s, of which £5 5s is a promised donation to the Recreation Grounds Improvement Committer. The gates at the various matches produced revenue amounting to m Os, and the annual social resulted in a profit of £lB 10s, thus almost extinguishing the deficit of £l9 .on the annual sports meeting. The Club won no championships, and, dealing with this, the annual report urges members to get into condition earlier, as some of the first matches were lost last year from want of practise and condition.
