The tug-of«war tournament was con« tinued in the Masterton Theatre Royal last (Monday) night, when the pull for I second prize between the Fire Brigade and Welsh teams took place. The coii« test was a most exciting one, and was witnessed by a large number of people, ifor tho first quarter of an hour the Welshmen had a.slight advantage, but their opponents, by a dosperate struggle, brought the ball back to the centre, where it remained for some minutes. At the end of half an hour the Fire Brigade had a lead of two feet, but despite their best efforts tbey could not improve their position. For twenty minutes the sphere remained stationary, when the Brigade succeeded in gaining another few inches, but as there appeared to be no hope of either giving in at the end of an hour the pull was declared to be a draw amidst great cheering.

They all wantedtheir own special subjects treated, forgetting that a newspaper was a commercial concern, and that the space given to things was not determined by their intrinsio value, but by their commercial value to the paper. The newspaper aims were high, and their treatment of matters generally just. But there were some twinge might ■ be taken exception to. For example, wo wanted reports, but did not want the nauieous details in divorce suits reproduced, and sporting news might be given without the details, which were such an incentive to betting, gambling and hrutaliam," A .stato school at Nelson has, Jbeen destroyed by tire under circumstances, which point to incendiarism.
