■ " In several townships in New subscriptions are already being received towards a- fund to make provision for the dependents of the lll-fate-d Antarctic party. We have no doubt that Bis Worship the Mayor will consider the propriety of opening a similar fund 'in Masterton. Ihere are probably hundreds in this district who would, be pleased to contribute.

As an international fund will in nil probability be instituted, a i hilling subscription would ccem to suffice for this Dominion.

What ..shall be our answer?
