The Cadman-Rees election is proceeding in Auckland City today and no doubt the contest will be a warm one. Mr Cadman is the favorite. A lai'ge number of electors find that they have been struck off the roll and consequently disfranchised, among them, some very old citizens. This should he n warning to electors in other and we would again urge upon electors in this district to make sure of their names being on the electoral rolls. These are now on view in the different post offices. Have a look at them and if your name is not to be found there seud in your claim for enrolment without loss of time.

At the Dargaville Police Court on the 28th July, Joseph Seymour was charged before Dr. Norton and Mr J. M. Dargaville, J.Ps., with having committed a breach of the Pawnbrokers’ Act, IS6B, by advancing money on tffe* security of a bay maro and double-bar-relled gun, witli a condition for forfeiture in case of default being made in re-payment, he not being a licensed pawnbroker. Mr McLeod, wno defended, objected to the information as disclosing no offence, the pro - visions of the Act only apply in g to persons “ carrying on business or seeking a livelihood,” while one act could not constitute a carrying on of business. Dr. Norton concurred in this view, while Mr Dargaville held otherwise, but owing to this difference of opinion the case was dismissed.

The Annual Concert and Ball in connection with the Orange Institution was held on Friday evening last in the Aratapu Hall. Rain came on just before the gathering and probably kept some away, which was rather a benefit than otherwise, for as it was the building was crowded and dancers were very much cramped for want of room. Some friends were present from Pahi and altogether there must have been between 80 and 90 couples present. The hall was decorated with flags, mottos, and nikau, and was very pleasing. The Concert was not a great success, as some promised assistance was not forthcoming, but there were some very excellent items on the programme. The catering was in the hands of Mr Corkill and dancing was kept going the greater part of the night.
