To-morroW will be a great day ol: t'ootball, for at McLean Park the two Napier teams, N.T.C.G.B. and H.S.O.B. meet, and M.A.C. wil make their first appearance in Napier witli Pirates as their opponents. As the l'orm of tlie teams cannot yet hn judged anytliing may liappen and with a line day a large following is expected. The small bov nuisance at McLean Park on Saturdays is becoming veiy acute. Tlxey encroach on tlxe playing areas and at the interval occupy all the available seats on the stand, hua are not revenue producing. Owing to the worry caused to their officials, the Rugby Gnion will be forced to consider charging all boys an adinission fee to tlie grounds. , 1 "We are one of the Iivest bodies in tlie country," declared Mr J. Harris at tlie annual lncetiug of the Napier Boxiug Association on Wednesday night, wlicn referring to tlie fact that the Napier Association staged ten pro* fessional flghts last year, Auckland, Wellington and Otago being the only other assoeiatioits to put on tliat niimber of iights in the season. "Figlvting Jolinny" Leckie, tlie New Zealand boxer who is liaving such a successful record in the ring on his tour of Australia, is to receive a letter from the Napier Boxing Associa-' tion congratul ating liim on his success. Jt was pointed out at the annual meeting on Wednesday tliat tlie. Napier Association liad been one of the first to recognise ihe merits of Leckie, in that it was one of the first associations to give him a professional figiit. With several small returns still toi C'Oino it is lcarned that tho sum. of £102 was c-ollected by "poppy day"saies on Wednesday. This year a houso to bouse canvass was not under-i talccn, the ladies selling the familiar Flandcrs poppich confining their attentions to the principal streets of the town. Naturally the sum netted was not so large as in previous years. buh tbanks to the assidifous cfforts of tlie day sellers, there were few people in ihe streets towards the end of the day who were not wearing the emblem. Last year tlie amount collected was over tlie £200 mark, but the £100 collected tliis year will do mucli to assisfc the ex-Diggers wlio find themselves uufortunate enough to be out of employnient during the coming Winter. An enjoyable evening was held at Wesley Hall recently, it taking tlie form "of a farewell evening in lionour to Miss A. AValker, prior to her departure for the Okl Country.

Dykes and MWillet pleased their audiences with their delightful singing and recitations. Mr Thomas. in making Miss Walker a presentation of an attache writing ease. spoke most liighly of her splendid work amongst the children of "Wesley Hall and her absence will be greatly felt by those eoncerned. Miss Walker suitably replied. A . daintv supper was scrved by the ladies and the evening came to an end with tlie singing of tlie bymn, "God will take care of you." Thc annual meeting of the Waipawa! Plunket Society was held on Tuesday afternoon, tlie JMayor-elect, Mr &. H. Hunfc, presiding over a good attendancc. Tlie bnlnnce-slieet, wliich was adopted, sliowed a very satisfactorv state of affairs, receipts amounting to £507 2s 2d, while the, expcnditurc was £391 2s 7(1, showing a. credit balance of £115 19r 7d, as against £76 18s Id the previous year.

Thov pointed ont tliat tlie rouncil ovon bad to pay ihe board for power reonirerl for street lighting in the district under question.

A large land sale of property 111 tlie Waiouru distriet has been arranged for 5Iay 10, when a large extent of country is to be disposed of. Full details aro published in anotlier rolninn and tlio«« inlerested can receive fnrther advire frnni tlie aucf ionoers. tlie New Zealand Loan and Mcrcantile C'o.. Ltd. Tlio area ombraces about 70,0f)0 arrcs and is known as tlie Waiouru Station. I11 reeognition of tlie very ardnons nalure of tlie work and tlie irregular hnurs, tlie permanent staff wlio for tlie past live vears liave been eiigaged 011 tlie construction of tlie New J'lynioutli Breakwater extension liave been grauted bonuses by tlie Havbour Board. The foreinan was voted £20, and four otlier members of tlie stalf eacli reeeived £10. The mon gave practioally unbroken service thronghout tlie period. The Taradale brancli of the Women's Institute held their montlily raecting 011 Wednesdav. There were 21 members present and seven new mcinbers wero proposed. It was proposed to 11111 600 evenings for tlie Winter months. A wreath from tlie institute was.placed on the Memorial 011 Anzac Day.

On a previous trip tlirough the distriet he saw two dead grpy dueks and a 1111111lier of smaller .birds. Tliis indicates that the game birds are snffering severely as the results of trappers" campaigns against rabbits. A11 interesting souvenir of ihe war has recently been mounted near tlie parade ground at Devonport Naval Dase. Tt is a fragment of arniour plate from the turret of H.M.S. New Zealand, which fouglit in the hattle of Jutland. The. jiieee of motai bears a dent made by a German shell. Anotlier sonvenir at the hase, thougli not a war relic,, is th'e ffgurehead of the brig Moa, built in Auekland in 1811). Tlie Moa, was ono of tlie oldest vessels to liave been built in New Zealand. She rau eontinuously for ten years hetvveen 18b0 and 18C0, and made several reeord trips between Auckland and Sydnev. lllustrativo of the means used by people in an endeavour to ebeat the Tamilinr penny-in-the-slot vending inachines was tlie (ollection of foreign coins, tokens and pieees of metal i'ound last week by an engineer in a choco-late-vending macbine. Jncluded in tlie collection were tbe following articles : — The flattened top of a lomonade bottle, a C'hineso coin the size of a pennv, a lialf-penny, a Japanese token much larger than a penny, a Jlexican coin, an old New Zealand token for tliroepence, a roiighly-made eounterfeit brass jienny, and a florin. None of the articles was oapable oi opierating the macliine suecessfully.

Tt is not often that New Zealand business organisations receive pruise frcnii tlie liiglily effieient Americans, wlio spend a brief timo touring the Dominion. Tlie remnrk that tliis country is 20 or .'30 years behind the times is more common. One is sometimes led to helieve that there are mnny living in tlie TTiited States who liave never even heard of New Zealand. In New York, liowever, the New Zealand Post. Offiee as held in higli repute, as is sliown hy. the following comnient, made by a New York postnl offioial to a correspondent: — "You know, we have mail liore from every corncr of tlio globe, and no mail tiiat comos in ean in any way be eompared witli mail that comes 111 from New Zealand. It is alwavs ko beautifnlly clean that it is a pleasure to liandle* it. We have so nften remarked on it. Tliey nmst be a wonderful people over there."
