The secretary of the Studholme Junction Saleyards Company notifies I that the usual monthly sale will not be held on Friday. Mr Pierpont Morgan has not cor • pleted the purchase of the British shipping lines. It is rtated, however, that the hitch is only temporary. In our report of the sale of work on Thursday the name of Miss Turnbull, who contributed a violin solo in excellent style, was accidentally omitted. At Ashburton Poultry and Pigeon Show, held last week, Mr C. A. Wilson’s Sandy 11, by Sandy I (imp.), took second prize in the class for show homers.

The combination to Irish landlords is to be known as the Irish Land Trust. The central idea is to resist the efforts of tenants to compel landlords to sell their properties ; also to make arrangement for the cultivation of evicted famJs, and generally to fight the Irish League in connection with boycotting and intimidation, Lord Roberts visited Sandhurst and severly admonished the cadets for resenting in an unsoldierlike manner the stoppage of their leave. An exam* ination which he had made in connection with those recently rusticated showed how little they realised the enormity of their crime. All but two, however, were exonerated.
The “ Daily Chronicle ” says it is clear that the self-governing colonies are not united on the question of con* tributing to the cost of Imperial defence according to their wealth, and population. The lines whereon the strengthening of Imperial defence must be sought are those of the local action of free wills guided by common ideas and purposes.
At a conference of Waimate Hospital Trustees and the South Canterbury Hospital and Charitable Aid Board ir Tituaru yesterday, the Board decided not to oppose separation of the WaU mate Hospital District if the Makikihi River were made the boundary.
