At the competition for the Auckland Naval Brigade Company's lMt. Petty Officer F. Smith made the splendid score of 129 point's out of a possible 150, and in yesterday's matsh bo made tbe pos sible total at tbe 500 ya>ds ran_e. The weekly parade of tho brigade was held last night, when Lieutena7it P4rk«r'presented the Insurance prises won last month. If wo were to accept the statements of MrPetrio, M.H.K. for Greyniomh, he ha? been "sold" by those "cruel deceivers" in the Mini't'y who made promises of votes which duly appeared on the Estimates, but have turned out to be "Dead Sea Fruit." Wo can understand an inexperienced mere l)er acoepttng the statement of a Minister, and running away with the idea that tho money was "all there." But it does not argue a veiy high intelligence or de votion to parliamentary duty. ; There will not be much sympathy feltfor Mr Petric. )t is commonly lepuitcil liv raited from the Liberal party in order that he might be able to return to his constituents and tell them how large a budget ©f votes ho had brought back with him. A public works rat creates an unpleasant and by no means profitable impreisien. If the Ministry never did anything worso than deceive their rats in this way, they should not bo censured very severely.—" Wanganol Herald." Lost and Found.
