Mellish. The secretary’s action in procuring a wreath to be placed upon the Soldiers’ Memorial on Anzac Day, was endorsed. Bro. P. R.

Kay and his son who had been the guests of Mr Kay’s parents during Easter, returned to New Plymouth yesterday. Mrs P. J.’ Cotter, of Carterton, has received advice that her husband, Lance Corporal T. J. Cotter, had arrived at his destination fit and well. The death occurred on April 18. at the Buller Hospital of Mr William J. Hart, aged 62 years. He leaves a wife (nee Miss F. Woodley), a former resident of Carterton, and a grown up family of five sons and three daughters. He was a native of Westport where he had resided all his life, except during the period when he took part in the South African War. He had been in business as a tailor in Westport for 35 years. He leaves a number of relatives in Carterton.

Red Cross Society Wreath. Among the wreaths laid on the Soldiers’ Memorial in Carterton on Anzac Day was one from the Red Cross Society. Big Slip in Hills. Deer stalkers in the Tararua Ranges came across a very big slip on the hill side well back in the hills. It had blocked the flow of water in the Maungateretere Stream that takes its source in the mountains. For some time the water from the watershed could not get away freely and eventually broke through the slip. This is presumed to be the reason for the floods in the stream that feeds the Taratahi water race and which during the dry spell could not be accounted for. REGENT THEATRE “MARY NAMES THE DAY.” “Mary Names the Day,” the new Kildare hit, will be finally shown tonight. Lew Ayres, Lionel Barrymore and Laraine Day are featured in the leading roles.
