Farmers in Southern Hawke's Bay have been troubled with quite considerable mortality amougst sheep during the past few weeks, due it is believed, to the large amount of a-ank feed that there is about this season. With only one criminal case set down for trial at the forthcoming sessions of the Napier Supreme Court, jurymen summoned for that occasion. may congratulate themselves ou having liit upon au exceptionally short criminal session.

Numbers of the new blue and white motor registration plates are now to be seen^in the Napier streets, acting as a reminder to those motorists who have liot yet _ re-registered their vehicles that their term of freedom on the roads is nearly at an end.

Although the night was very cold, the usual nuinber of players was present, also the enthusiasts from Tikokino. Fifteen games were played, and Mr Hook won the gentlemeu's first prize with 14 games and Mrs Macfarlane the ladies' with 11 games. The' school will profit very much from these evenings. Mr Ai'thur Jordan, the eminent English tenor, who was to have taken part in the performance of "Hiawatha" to he given by the Napier Choral Society for their first concert, has beeu unahi© to come out to New Zealand, owing to pressure of home eugagemeuts.

To-morrow an appeal is to be made on behalf of the Napier Hospital for funds to construct a sub-way from Jell'.coe Yard to the main buildings, and the object is oue which should comrnend itself to all who take an, inter-e.-t in the welfare of' the patieiits and nursing staff, It is now five years since the public have been iiivited to n.ake a public subscription in connection witli tbe hospital and it is hoped that the response made will be a generous one. A special meOting of the Napier City Council will be held this evening to consider the question of the Market Reserve block. The council has had Ihe question of what it will do with tnis reserve before it for a long time aud to-uight's meeting is being held to allow the new members of the councJ to express their opmious. The council previously made a decision to erect a two-storeyed building over that jiart of the biock now occupied hy ihe Criterion Hotel, but this has not yet been confirmed in opeu council.

A wliite niantle of snow capped the liiglier points of the'ranges within sight of Napier to-day, thcre evidently being a lieavy fall during tlie recent bad weather. There was a cold nip in tlie air this morning, chilly winds sweeping down off the ranges.

Tlip Tamdale Tennis Club's second annual hall took place in tlie Taradale Town Hall last evening.

The Maraekakaho riding of the Hawke's Bay County^ Council comrnenced the last finnncial year with a credit halance of £4125 and ended with a. credit halance of £1852.

Interest in flying in the Poverty Bay district is being maintained to no undiminished degree, and arrangements for the formation of a branch of the Hawke's Bay Aero Club are proceeding steadily. At least two of the members have not neglected to get well forward with their flying instruction, and during the week-end they journeyed to Hastings to further their training. An increased popularity in road cycling is noticeable in Napier and district since the concrete road to Hastings was opened. A epin to Hastings along the paved highway is now a regular Sunday morning outing among some youtliful hicyclists, and on tlie occasion of a recent iniportant foothall match in Hastings many of the Napier spectators proceedcd to the game by bicycle. Althouglx there is no official statement as to how many men are to bo pnt 011 the Wairoa-Gisborne railway works at Kopua and Waikokopu in the lienr future from the ranks of the unemployed, it is though t that the prospects are much hetter now tliat tlie work of the wholo section hetween Wairoa and Gisborne is under the Gisborne offlee of the Puhlic Works Department. The wet weather lias retarded progress on the works. and the absorption of more men is difficult at present. At present men are being sent from Gisborne to Kopua at tlie rate of five a week. Much appreciation has been exprescd by settlers round Hastings who live near the hig Southlaml draiii at tlie action of Mr O. Lassen, the new mernber for the Heretaunga riding of the Hawke's Bay County Council, in expediting the annual cleaning out of that waterway. The drain takes the seepage from a wide area of country and a hlockage is serious for the nearby farmers and orchardists, as the water hanks back and floods tlieir land. Settlers are now feeling considerably relieved as Mr Lassen has liad seven men jrat 011 to nush aliead with tho clearing of the drain before the seasonal bad weather sets in. Humphries' unassailahlc position in puhlic favour is tlie natural result of strict adlierance to their unique trading policy, viz., "Highest quality maintained and lowest prices guaranteed," This policy is hehind tlie saies of "Orchid". lirand products and is aceountable for the wonderful reception accorded to Orcliid brand coft'ee essence, B.O.P. tea first grade, toilet and laundry soaps. hutter, etc., hy tlie Hawke's Bay puhlic.* •Justly proud are we of our navy serge suits.
