Caledonian games at Oamaru a big suc cess this year. . . Is it possible to express an opinion on a * traia of thought ? Quite a number of New Zealand justices have been Btruck off the roll.

At Bluff Regatta, the new Auckland cutter Heatherbell won the cutter race. " A wrestling match for £60 a-sido and light weight championship has been ar ranged at Dunedin between J. Dunn (brother of the champion) and Tiffen, The Minister for Public Works will turn ihe-first sod of the Midland Railway.

At Sunedin Caledonian sports yesterday, Julian, of the Permanent Artillery, made the record with vaulting with a pole, clear ing 10 feet 10 inches. .■

" Do you know how old Madame B. is!" "Yes. Two years ago she was-39. Last year she was 38. Of course this yeaitthe must be 37." •;■; ,

The Minister for Public %orks has promised to try and find work for the " unemployed" discharged from the re lief works at the Sandhills.

| JjjiKeilly, of Auckland, is the patentee of anew method of washing clothes, and J. Bates, of Cambridge Bast, for an invention in connection with harness.

; Committee of Auckland Burns Club nieot to-night to arrange the programme of next anniversary gathering, Search in Otago harbour yesterday failed to recover the tody of the man who was lost from the b.s. Tekapo. Rev. Mr Dowie and his wife have-con- ■ v eluded their faith-healing mission at Don edin after curing large numbers of people. It is said that a man who won't take in a paper: because1 he can borrow one has invented a machine with which he can cook his dinner by the smoke of his neigh bour's cttimney. I William llorley, eldest son of-Mr G. Morley, of Waiuku, sustained serious in juries last week by being kicked on the head by a young horse, but though ho long remained insensible, it is hoped that he will recover. ■W. Stevenson and John Stevenson, Helensville, seek letters patent for a machine for ploughing and pulverising" the land, and eradicating all noxious weeds, etc., from the soil, and rendering the same fit for agricultural purposes. ' * • ■ Two boys have been drowned in the Wan ganui River. Wm.

Here is his teetotal lecture to the Hawke's. Bay natives:—"Maori brothers, do not drink \ fire water. It is bad, and it makes the Maori drunk. I drink it, but 1 cannot help doing that, and you must not follow my example."

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

TB Whiti was Yesterday release! from* gaol, having served his three months. He was met at the prison guto by several natives, bat his late companions in tribula tion were, conspicuous by their absenap. What hia movements are likely, to be is not known, 'for -'the. : • wily^ftldi ' prophet keeps himself profoundly eilenb on; toe point.. It is expected that he will make a*ahort stay at the Butt, then go on to Otaki to be; feasted, and finally take up. hia qutirtera "at Pari haka. It will be remembered that Te Whiti, in addition to his , sentenea of im prisonment, waa fined £100, but he is to bo let off this penalty if. bis future conduct is I*1 '* good. I|, however, he in any way misbehaves SB himself, the penalty «1U be enforced. lam told that when the other native rioters were reminded upon their liberation that they were pecuniarily indebted to the Crown,they smiled in a childlike, and bland manner, - •which was interpreted to mean, "Don't you wish you may; get it?" "To-" Whiti i had about £40 \ ia ,:.-hie-i.. '♦ possession wheft : sentenced, but this was yesterday returned tojliim, so that on tho whole he has been exceedingly lucky. At ■ the time tho sentence was . passed the prophet iwaa" given to- understand that his punishment was intended to show ■-. that native offendora cculd not in. any way be treated differently from European offenders, but it ia questionable if somaeb leniency would have been shown towards;;.','■'.','• any Enropeane convicted under similar cir- * cumstances.
