Messrs Lindrum, the cetenratfd billiard players, are on a tour of N w Zealand, and are at present in Auckland, Mr N. C. Marshall, an erstwh la resident of Masterton. is spending a short holiday here. He is in splendid health, and has much benefited by his residence in the Auckland district. Mr Percy Lee, wh'J Uat pfe&ht confined to the Masterton Hospital, is making splendid progress towards recovery. Mr W. C. Christie, formerly of the staff of the local branch of the Bank of New South Wales, and who is attached to the Napier staff of the Bank, is at present on a visit to Masturton. The frienris of Mrs H. Cole, of Cola street, will regret to learn that she is seriously ill, and her condition is causing her relatives considerable anxiety. Mr F. E. Baume/K.C, M.P., who has been indisposed for some time, is rapidly regaining his health. He stood the train journey from Wellington very well, and is quickly reaching convalescence. Mr J. K. Logan, of the Post and Telegraphs Department, who has been attending the Melbourne Wireless Telegraphy Conference in Melbourne, returned by the Ulimaroa today. He was absent about nineteen days. While in Melbourne Mr Logan had no time to attend to junketing. •'lt Was all business," he explained to a "Post" reporter, "and I had no time for anything else than to take a trip round Port rhillip'on the only spare Sunday."

What struck the Rev. G. P. Davys, I of Wellington, on his visit to England—whence he returned yesterday—was the lusty growth of English, church life. There was no question in hia wind, he said to a "Post" reporter; but that the Church of England had become a great spiritual force in the land when compared with her condition some fifteen or twenty years ago. "The number of men (one might almost say that they . preponderate) that one sees in the churches in city, town and country is remarkable. The daily services at St. Paul's Cathedral are most largely attended by men, and this is especially noticeable at the Holy Communion service,'!
