An Appeal Dismissed.

United Press Association-By Electric Telegraph. j Dtjnrdin, October 2 J In the Supreme Court the ca^e was heard j of Plank v Mclllveney, an appeal from the decision of the T^lagistrate at Invercarjfill, who convicted the appellant of an offence ; against the Licensing Act. The question was whether an unchgrtered club could supply members with liquor for monetary consideration. Defendant, who wns steward of the Commercial Private Club, was found ; guilty of the sale of liquor. Mr Justice WilliainpjWithout calling on the respondent, raid he had no doubt the decision of the Magistrate was right. He apprehended that in the Act of i 893 a charter was equi j valent to a license, and that a sale in a club j without a license would be within the mean- I ing of section 159. If there was nothing in the Act for granting charters to clubs, section 59, en the authority of English cases, would not prohibit such sales. The distinction between English cases and the I present one is that in England the section \ corresponding to section 159 stands alone, ' and that there is lo reference in the Kng j lish Act to licensing clubs. Our Act, on j the contrary, in addition to section 159, contains.a provision for granting charters, which are equivalent to a license. The ap peal was dismissed, with ten guineas costs.

Marist Brothers' College

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph. Auckland, Oct. 3. A tender for the erection of the Marist Brothers' College at I'onsonby has been accepted, and work on the building will be commenced immediately. Three years ago Bishop Lenihan made a grant to the Order of some sixteen acres of land, the only condition being that the Marist Order would erect a suitable College and provide j a competent teaching staff. The local Prin cipal of the Order thereupon communicated | with the head house of the order in France. The French authorities approved the scheme, and voted a sum sufficient for carrying out the work. Mr Moody has secured the contract for the building at £4780. Ifc is estimated that when the building and all the internal fittings are completed, the cost will run to something like .£SOOO.

Wheat Growing in South Africa

A report received from Mr Valiler, the commercial agent for Now South Wales in South Africa, states that bai'ore the war, in Cape Colony, there were about 170,000 acvG3 under wheat for grain, and about 150,000 acres in the Orange River Colony. The yield in Cape Colony was about 1,880,232 bushels, and in the Orange River 8(38,818 bushels. As to the centre import ing the largest quantity of breadstuffs, Cape Colony imports more breadstuffs than tho other four South African colonies put to gether. For the year 1901, the total im ports of flour and wheat were:—Wheat, 5,109,896 bushels; flour, 20,456 tons. A large quantity of this wa3 used for the army but as there are still a largo number of soldiers staying in South Africa, and there is an influx of settlers, Mr Valder does not think that the consumption is likely to be any less for the coming year. In regard to the tariff, wheat is suspended, flour 4s 2d per 1001b, bran 7 a per cent., pollard 4s 2d per 1001b. In making calculations as to the consumption of breadstuffs, Mr Valder says it must be borne iv mind that the food of the black population is to a very great ex tent^maize meal.

A Boon to Mothers. ASH BURTON MOTHEES WILL PROFIT 1 ; BY THE EXPERIENCE OF ANOTHER. Among all classes of people we find chil dren suffering from weak kidneys. The 1 intelligent mother know* -Vat this is not a ■ hab'.fc, and searches £.>v a remedy. It is j something very hard to relieve, and the i f.-uaily physician tells her* that the child will grow out of it. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. In the meantime annoyance and embarrassment are the result. If anyone knows a remedy, is it not an act of charity, is it not a duty to make it public ? Should selfishness or pride keep ifc conceale'l? Mrs Summer-, of Oxford Street, Hampstead, this town, has used Doan's backache kidnoy pills in her family, and now makes tho following statement for the benefit of anxious mothers and for the reliei of interesting little children. " I recommend Doan's backache kidney pills to mother.? who have children suffering I with weak kidneys. 9ie of my children wa3 afflicted with this distressing malady, and I did not know that there was a medi cine in existence which could cure this trouble. I had some of Doan's backache ( pills in the house, intending to use them j myself, when I he:ird of a case of weakness of the kidneys which had been cured by Doan's backache kidney pills, so I started to give them to my boy. The improvement was marked. They arc splendid in such cases, and I am only too glad to mention j the fact as a guide to others. I obtained the pills at the Ashburton Drug Go's store in East Street. Do not bo satisfied with any imitation of Doan's pills. Remember it was Doan's backache kidney pills which helped Mrs j Summers, and it is important that you get J tho same medicine. j Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, McClennan Co., 76 Pitt Street, Sydney, N.S.W.

Eighty Miles an Hour. THE CHAMPION MOTORIST AND HIS RECENT ACHIEVEMENT. The winner of the great motor race in the Ardennes, Mr Charles Jarrott, landed in England with his car on Saturday, August 2. ".Travelling from Folkestone to London in his racer, he made a stay of two hours in the Metropolis, and then went on to Nor wich. He was in high spirits over his success in the Ardennes, and his story of how he won the race is interesting. " I started thirty-second," ha said, " so that I had a largo number of cars in front of me, whose dust I had to fight through. Cutting along in splendid style, I made up con siderable ground in the third lap, and at the fourth lap was leading by twelve seconds. I gradually increased this lead, beat M. Gabriel, and then passed Baron de Crawhez, and just as I passed him his chain came off, and I eventually won by nine minutes. The total distance covered was 321 miles, and my time worked out at 353 minutes, including two stoppages which I made for water and petrol, only one of which was absolutely necessary. The fast- ' est was that from Bastogne to Habay-le- j Nerve, over which, in some cases, I obtained a speed of between eighty and ninety miles an hour." Mr Jarrofc finished without a single mishap to his car, but five or six other racers were much less fortunate. M. Jenatzy had his car "brokento smither eseos," and it was unrecognisable as a I motor. M, Caters ran into Mr Jarrot's ! dust, and fouled Q. corner, with the result I that the car was smashed. " I have a I high appreciation of the form of racing arranged whereby the competitors had to J the competitors had to pass the same spot i three or four times," said Mr Jarrot. "This form is bound to bo £aken up in France, It does away with any aeujjral places where the machine can be arranged, and it devolves into a great driving test for the whole of the race. This form of racing will also lead to much fairer tests,"
