Colonials too often lose sight of the advantages to be derived by supporting local industries, and rush off to purchase anything—very often rubbishthat comes from anywhero outside Now Zoaland. Thero can be no doubt that Now Zealand can hold her own with any foreign country in the manufacture of many articles, and these should be encouraged as much as possible. Mr F. Whitehead, of Auckland, is establishing a brand of goods, including baking powder, sauce and essence of col Tee and checoiy, under the name of "Tarawera," which are equal to any of the imported articles and superior to many of them. Local storekeepers should keep these articles on hand, as when once ititro(luced they are sure to take with the public.

In another column appears the advertisement of Mr M. Murchie, the highly popular and fashionable tailor, of Lower Shortland-streef, Auckland. Mr Murchie has removed down the street from hit! old place to the premises in Hobson's buildings, lately occupied by Messrs Samuel Vail» and Son-. Mr] Mnrchies now shop is lofty and roomy, and well lighted, and has had a thorough overhaul lately. It is now one of the most centrally situated and chocry-looking tailoring establishments in the city. In addition to the spacious shop, there are several large work and dressing rooms in connection with it. Mr Murchie's well-known skill as a tailor and cutter, the excel liin.ee of his fits, and the largo and varied nature of valuable stock (a. new and extensive consignment of goods beinß just received) entities him to an increased measure of the .support he has so long and justly enjoye^..

The attendance at the entert iimi»-nt at Hukanui on Tuesday night in ai l "i tlio school funds must have far exceeded tho expectations of ttie promoters. Tim hall was crowded. It is estimated that somewhere about two hundred people wore present. We were unable to obtain a full programme of the various selections, but foremost amongst the different items the violin solo by Mr T. H. White, of Taupiii, the talented violinist, stands prominent. Air Swarbrick's reading of " The Vulgar Boy " was also much appreciated, [n addition tr, these Mr Davis, who lately gave an entertainment in Hamilton, and who intends to settle in the district added very considerably to the success of the evening. Mr Davis possesses an excellent voice and favoured the audiencs with soma capital songs, be also played several instrumental selections affording proof of his proficiency as a pianist. After tho concert tho hall was cleared and a very enjoyable dance concluded a most satisfactory evening's entertainment.

At the last meeting of the Tarannki Habour Board Mr E. M. Smith said that the position was this The question was left in the hands of the Govornment, hnt they would have to be Btirred up. The bondholders would als» have to be consulted, Aft3r the way the board had treated him about the proposal tn go to Qamarn, what was he to expect if he asked them to send him to Entfland to confer with tha bondholders? They would no doubt laugh at such a proposal, yet lie thought it was their duty to send him. After the wnv they had treated him he would not offer to go to England, and if he went to Oam.aru it would not be as a member of the board, or representing the board in any way. His friends might help to pay his expanses for him, and he would go because he wished to do good to the district. Ho would warn the board that they would bn sorry if they caused any delay.
