An application was before tbe Napier Harbour Board yesterday from a numbers oi persons desirious of taking up leases of sections fronting tbe inner liarbour at _ Westshore. Tbe board, however, decided that it was not desirablo to graut permanent leases on tbe water front, but to grant temporary tenancies at small rentals. With reference to tbe Napier Harbour Board's application for an Order-m-Council regarding tbe proposed dredging of tbe ebannel and inner harbour basin, tbe secretary * of the Marine Department advised yesterday tliat before dealing furtber with tbe matter be desired to know bow it was proposed to deal with tbe problem of sccur undermining the moles and otber struct-ures wbicb may arise from increasing tbe depth of tbe ebannel. Tbe board asked its engmeers (Messrs R. W Holmes and Son) for a report. Competitors in Ihe score judging competition for the Rugby match between Hawke's Bay and Auckland on Saturday are reminded that coupons tnust reacb this office not later than noon 011 Saturday.

Tbe Hawke's Bay team beat Waikato at Hamilton yesterday by 11 points to 3 but will meet a karder proposition in tbe Auckland players, wbo were ccnsidered unlucky not to take the Ranfurly Sbield from Wairarapa last Saturday. A report that a trial sbipment of . apples ligbtered tlirougb Napier by tbo Cornwall landed in England in good condition and was sbown at an exliibition, was placed before tbe meeting of tbe Napier Harbour Board yesterday by the Hawke's Bay Fruitgrowers' Association. Mr J. E. Jones said that tbe fruitgrowers in Hastings were very mucb alive to tbe clesirability of sbipping througli Napier and as there were indications that there would be a bumper crop tbe fruit- • growers were endeavouring to sbip as many cases as possible througli Napier. On the motion of Mr W. J. Lyon, tbe board decided to write tbe Fruitgrowers' Association stating that tbe board was gratified to bear of the success of the first direct sbipment and looked forward to see more fruit trade going through Napier. The question of the erosion of tbe sea at Westshore was referred to at tbe meeting of the Napier Harbour Board yesterday, when tbe Hawke's Bay County Council wrote asking the board to give the matter earlv attention. The chairman, Mr A. E. Jull, reported that on Oc.tober 14, 1924, the board by resolution decided to disconfcinue any work in protecting tbe Westshore beac-h, and notifications to tliat effect were forwarded to tbe Marine Department, Raiiway Department, Public Works Department, and H.B. County Council. Mr J. C. Bryant asked if that was still the board's opinion. Mr Jull, "Well, that is tbe legal position. - We are having our land washed away, too. Tbe engineer infonns me that now that the eastern pier is extended tberq will probably be less erosion." Tbe matter tlien dropped. It would appear from a. statement made at tbe Napier Harbour Board's meeting yesterday that the Napier City Council, after many montbs of negotiation has not bad a victory in its _ efforts_ to have removed a brick residence in George's Drive and facing riglit in to Carnell street. It liad been contended by tbe council that tbe residence was erected on- the roadline, and fclie desire of the council to have it removed was in order that when tbe 28aere block, was sub-divided the road would run straight through fi-oni Carnell street to the Taradale road. However, tbe council' s contention has apparently not been upheld; as it was stated by Mr A. E. Jull yesterday, when rererring to tbe subdivision of the 28-acre block, that Ihe house was not now to be removed. He said that in consequence of this the sub-division-al plan of tbe block was in process of being amended. The first of a series of entertainments, the object of which is to raise funds to purchase a piano for St. Lujte's church hall, was beld in St. Augustine's scboolroom last nigbt, when a programme of really good items was submilted to a good attendance. The programme was a well varied one, consisting as it did of orchestral selections, and vocal items (the latter by the pupils of Madame Aileen Johns) and dance numbers. Tbe performers, for the ability that they showed, and the orgamsers, for the satisfactory arrangements that they made, liave to be complimelnted on the success with which their efforts were met. The programme was contributed to by the following : — Selections by the Blue Diamond Orchestra conducted by Mrs Hoggard; song, Miss Jessie Dalton ; elocutionary number, Miss Gwen Dalton,- duet, Miss Reaj' Wrightson and Mr E. G. Stevenson ; Dutch dance, Miss Alma Maclrenzie; f5ong, Miss Nellie Dykes; ballet dance, Miss Ada Bnld ; song, Miss Kelba Tomlinsonpiccolo solo, Mr W. G. Lunn ; violin and flute duet, Messrs W. G.

The trustees of the Hawke's Bay Children' s Home desire to express their Smc-ere thanks to all those who rendered assistanee during the recent fire at Franee House, Eskdale. During a discussion at the nieetmg of the Napier Harbour Board yesterday spectators who were present at the baek of the hall twice interjeeted with cominents on what was heing said. Einally the chairman, Nfr A. 33, Jull, had to warn the persons coueerned that if they persisted'he would have to ask them f: o leave the room. After that there were no inoro interjeetions. Whether "Wairarapa can retain the Ranfurly Shield for a numher of years ©r not depends on tlieir present junior Jdayers. On Saturday, at Nelson Park, Hastings, an opportunitv •vvill he offered of seeing tlieir juniors in action, when tliey will be matched against Hawke's Bay's juniors Tliis annual jnatch usualiy provides a good game, and Saturday should be no exeeption. On Mondav at ihe usual fortnightly fiieeting of the Napier Braneh of the No More "War Movement. tlie following motion, moved bv Mr McRae, seconded by Mr Lee, was carried uuanimously: — "That this hranch desires to conrey to Mr "W E. Barnard, M.P., its sineere thanks and congratulations for the Tery aetive pnrt lie has taken in support of the Militarv Service Bepeal Bill. reeently hefore Parliament." A seiinilar vote e,f tlmnks was also passed to the four United Party members, Messrs Munns, .Tenkins. McDougall and Hawk, and Rushforth (Oountry Party) for their support of the bill. A full hall of guests last Tuesday liiglit attended the Bay Yiew baclielors' tball, held in King George's Hall. Arrangements were verv complete and the yhole of the proceedings went off with ehaiStcteristic success. The music was supplied by the Paraxnount Orchestra, wliile the "supper arrangeineuts were carried out by the Misses Pirani, of Napier. Ihe hall was _ very prettily deeorated and the coloui* sclleme showted to full advantage. Around the walls at regular intervals were colonred electric lamps wlilc-h produced a very pretty the ehamhers ef comemree protest when ed ihe baclielors on behalf of the Bpinsters and the henedicts of Bay .View and Eskdale. According to reports receiyed privately in Napier the Hawk'es Bay representative team took the field quite fresh in tlie Rugby inatcli against , "Waikato yesterday despite the fact that it had been on the train the preTious day and night. A memher of tlie team, speaking over the teleplione to- a> friend in Napier, said that the team was quite eomfortable for the whole of the journey. It liad a sleeping car to itself, and, after retiring early the players slept all the wav to Frankton Junetion, whicli was reached in the early liours of the morning. There the carriage was sliunted off the train and left 011 a siding. Most of the players, however, slept soundly through this procedure and did not yake till pulled out bv tlie team manager at seven o'clock. If any proof was ueeded of Napier's interest in that mucii discussecl hook, ''All Quiet on the Western Front." it was amply forthconiiug at the usual fortnightly meeting, reeently held in tlie Trades' Hall, Tennyson street, by the Napier Braneh of the "No Moio "War Movement." The seating capacity ^of tlie Trades Hall was severely taxed, ^■necessitating the use of the annexe to -j^ar-comniodate the large numher of people wlio were anxious to hear a review of this remarkable hook. Mr H. T.ee, of Napier, proved a very able and discriminating reviewcr, by bringing out- the most _ striking passages, and forgettahle incidents, contained in the hook, wliieh had a profound impressiou on those present. A discussion followed, and qnestions were asked and answered. Some of the audience expressed surprise that the hook had been banned by the circulating libraries. The committee appointed at tho Napier Harbour Board meeting 011 July 10 to eonsider snggestions regarding provision of slielter for waterside workers at tho Breakwater, met on Monday, July 1-5, when all tho members of the committee wrere present. After full consideration it was decided to recommend that the room known as the ladies' waiting room, on the Glasgow "Wharf, be made available for the use of waterside workers wliile working vessels at the Breakwater. Iu order to give effect to this recommendation it will be necessary to make certain alterations to the building. These alterations comprise partitioning off the rooms at present reached through the waiting room and providing access thei'eto direct from the wh arf . The board has decided that these alterations be carried out, but that 110 additional furniture be provided. The question of the estahlishment of a golf course on the newly reclainied Awatoto block was referred to at the meeting of the Napier Harbour Board yesterday when a sub-committee recommended that the area of 70 acros ^ . agreed on by the Thirty Thousand Ciul> as a section suitable for a golf Course he set up for auction at an upset rental of £5 per aere per year. Jlr P. Higgins stated that tlie upset rental of the golf links was too high, and it would be useless to put the area up for auction at that price. The need for a golf c-ourse was urgent in Napier, and lie suggested that the subject he referred back to the .sub-committee for further consideration with tlie Tliirty Thousand Club. to see if more favourable ternis could not he como to. In reply to Mr J. J. Langridge Mr Higgins said that he thought that £4- 10s per aere per year would be too deai\ The members agreed to refer the whole matter back to tlie committee for further consideration.
