[ The New Zealand Cricket Council is j re-arrangiug the itinerary qf the Eiiglisli cricket tearn that is to tour New Zealand this season, and lias suggested to the Hawke's Bay Association that the tourists should appear here ■ on February 1 and 3, instead of the > January dates «first mentioned. At a s nieeting of the Hawke's Biay Associa- ■ tion last night the secretary's actioa i in agreeing to the amended dates wa8 confirmed. A pleasant little function took plaoe at the D.S. Ltd. last Saturday morn^ ing, when the heads of the various de- ; pavtments assembled in tlie manager's office to bid farewell to Miss Crossan, " Who lias been in, charge of the mantle ' showroom, and who is leaving to get married at an early date'.

ThO" maiden leaping competitions foy hoth male and female _ riders, the open ' hunters' cdmpetition, the champiou leaping match. -tlie ladies' leaping com- ! petition and the consolation jump have ' all drawn over a score of * entries, .a*nd j the children's, trottinn and harness ■ classes are also liberally patronised. 1 The competitions are always one of l tlie most attractiye sijes qf the show 1 and this year they promise to he more interesting than ever. Those wlio rely on their knowledge of tlie wool market to add to their inconies do not always come out on top. Thiis year, with the f all in the values from sqle tq sale, at lepst some of the speculators have lost money on deals. | they have made. The case is quoted of one man who bouglit wool at the January Napier sale, and re-sold it in London in July after holding it fqr ! an imprqvemeut in values, ' The aq-', ticipated rise in tlie market did not | come, however, and the price he received in London was from Id to £d lower than what he paid in Napier, while he also had to bear the cost of • transport and rersale. The time-honpurecl method of the , cotton-wool sandwich for removing a fish bqne stuck in the throat was used with success in a Napier home a feW nights ago. The lady pf Ihe house had tlie misfortune to Have a bone stick in her throat, and all efforts to reinove itr, even the old dodge of eating a hard crust, were nnavaiHng. The lady was in much physical and'mental pain, when relief eame in. th© forni of; a neighbour who had been treated for the same thing in the Sy3ney HosPital. He explained that he was - made to eat a sandwich of cotton wool between two slices of bread. This method was ti-ied on the lady in this caSe, witli instant relief. The Napier Harbour Board is at present engaged in reconstructing the cattle wliarf at - Port Ahuriri by putt!Mg a concrete 6houlder on the corner. The main pile frame has liad to be overhauled owing to some of the timbers beiug decayed. Temporary stagiug has Tieen erected for carrying' tlie pile driving gear for driving the lnain -staging piles. Driving of the staging piles, commenced .011 "Monday. Lreat difficulty has been experienced removing the old structure and the lmxture of debris hehind, • which consisted of an entanglement of old timber pile ends and iron work. On the morning of September 21 the Brownmg crane, while attempting to land a large pile frame which had been proughfc over from tbe western pier by the J.D.O., fell over against some concrete piles and the pile frame. in falling caused certain damage to an iron shed owned by Messrs Puflett and , Smith. Prices have been obtained for repainng the damage to the shed, the Jowest being that of Messrs Tod and ' Young for the sum of £11 5S and they have been iustructed to proceed with the work. The contents of the shed consisted of stevedoring gear, the damage to which was inconsiderable. The crane was righted_ the same day and tlie necessary repairs, which were of a minor nature, have been effected. The_ plant was placed in conimission agam the next day.

One of the most euccessful car tournaments of the season terminatec last Thursday under the auspiees o the Napier Labour Party. The winne: of the ladies' prize was Mrs Wanstall and the gentlemen's prize went to M: Leenan. A new tournament will star on Thursday night at 7.45. In view of the present strenuoui efforts being made by tbe League o Nations at Geneva, and by bodies o: men everywhere, to secure a lastin/ peace. for the peoples of the world, it h interesting to read what Holy Sci'ip ture has to say prophetically o'n tli matter of peace or war. In the Gospe' Hall, Carlyle street, to-morrow evening at 7.30 o'clock, Mr Spottiswoode v evangelist, will deal w.-li tliis subject. k his topic heing "The Battle of Arma- ■ geddon," and all are heartily invited to hear this address. An advertisement in this -issue an nounces a gj-mnastic display and con cert to be given in the Town Hall Taradale, on Wednesday, October 16 under tlie joint anspices of the Napiei Y.M.C.A. and the Taradale Presbyterian Bible Class. This entertain ment is a repeat of the wonderful programme given in the Napier Municipa' Theatre recently. The people of Taradale and district may rest assured thal there is a treat in store for them nexi Wednesday. The box plan for Miss Moira Dallow's annual a-ecital, at the Napier Municipal Theatre next Saturday night, opened this morning, and already a keen demand has set in for seats. Holders of 2s tickets are advised to call early at the bookfng office and exchange them for reservations. Each portion of tlie programme will couelude wit.. a big feature, viz., "The Butterfiv and the Storm" and "Poreelain and Pottery." Ihe former portrays in a graphie manner tlie little butterfly who in the midst of her play with the sunbeans, is caught in the mesh of the storm Iring's toils. The latter shows the various phases of the title from the modem powder bow], to the Nanking bowl, then follow the Sevres cup, the Delf ware, the Grecian vase, concluding with the country dance, "Old Chelsea." Prices of admission are 2s to the stalls and circle, and ls to the gallery. The last representative match of the season will be played this Saturday, when Taradale, c-hallengers, will endeavour to wi'est that coveted trophy, the Dolbel-Currie Cup from Greenmeadows, the holders. Greenmeadows supporters have again put their trust in a strong team and are confident of retaining the trophy, but Taradale has assembled a very strong comhination and, coupled with enthusiastic training, do not" regard the Greenmeadows combination with any feelings of apprehension. They assure their supporters that they will do their hest to regain the cup. Thus -neither team is likely to disappoint their supporters and with enthusiasm running higli in both camps, a game full of excitement and thrills, always associated wi ^ this game, should result. In the curtain-raiser between tbe juniors, Taradale will defend the Dolbel Cup from the JGreenmeadows youth, and from the kick-off at 1.45, a good game should result. Both games are in the capable hands of local referees. The anual concert and dance of the Pqketapu School will be held on Friday, October 11, the proceeds being in aid of the school funds. This annual fixture is one of the star attractions of the year as far as Puketapu is concerned, and never fails to attract a large attendance nor to provide an exeeptionally enjoyable evening's entertainment. There is every indication that this year's function will equal, if it does not surpass those of previous years, for the residents,_ with their usual enthusiasm, are "working wliole-lieartedly together to make the entertairunent a thorough success. Tlie children liave heen for some time past rehearsing a children's play, which is certain to be a most enjoyable item, while hakas, Maori pois, songs, instrumCntal items, etc., will be contribntecl by tbe pupils and by well known_ artists. Tlie programme will he a particularly good one, while the arrangeihents for tlie dance provide for everything heing of the hest. A bumper house should greet the pupils and teachers wlien the curtain goes up for the first item.

l A jazz dance will be held in_ the l Cosmopolitan Hall, Napier to-night. f A free bus from Hastings will be run. An important meeting of the Here- " taunga riding ratepayers will he held ; at Mr H. V. Hoadley's residence "Bonfiekl," Pakowhai road, to-morrow evening at five o'clock.! , : A regular visitor to the Petane : heach during last Summer states that ; during the Winter the action of the | sea had completely altered the con- . tour of the shingle stretch, raising its > level considerably in some portiohs. ; Last week Whaiatua (Sam) Hiha, second son of Mr R. Hiha, of Tangoio, died at the early age of 38. Deceased, who was well-known in the Bay View and surrounding districts, had heen ailing for months. The Napier Harbour Board has heen . advised by Sir Joseph Ward that he lias received the board's letter in reference tc inyestment of sinking funds on the - security of Harbour Board leases, and . stating that he is going into the ques- . tion with a view to seeing whether. the , law_ can be amended in tjie direction desired. , A Napier motorist who has just returned from a visit nortkwards reports that the Napier-Gi&borne road is in very good condition at the present time, drivmg conditions between Napier and Wairoa being as good as they have ever been. An excess of shingle on some portions of tlie Wai-roa-Gisborne stretch is tlie only cause of complaint throughout the journey. An expression of appreciation at the manner in whieh the subject had been dealt with and the speedy decision arrived at, was conveyed to the Napier Harbour Board to-day from the Hawke's Bay Hospital Board. The cliairman, Mr A. E. Jull, commented that the compliments were jpleasing. Mr W. J. Lyon, "That is not a mental hospital, either, is it?" (Laughter). j A visitor to Napier from the south- j ern East Coast to-day stated that lambing throughout the coastal area had been well up to the average, the lambs coming into the docking yavds in good condition. Some farmers had been troubled with mortality in ewes, but the numhers of deaths from the usual causes had not been above the average. The season is likely to he a late one as 'far as the coast is concerned, as .the grass is only just be- | ginning to come away. I Reference to the classification of lands comprising the proposed Meanee drainage district xvas . made at the meeting of the Napier Harbour Board to-day_, when the Hawke's Bay County Council wrote tlianking the board for its co-operation in instructing the engineer to classifv the lands. Mr N. P. Eriksen asked when the work was to be done. Tlie settlers were becoming impatient, he said. It was resolved to coinmunicate with the engineer stressing the necessity for an early report. | The Napier City Council to-day wrote to the meeting of the Napier Harbour Board in reply to the board's communication re tlie aero landing ground, stating that the question of the enconragement of avintion will br considered when some definite scheme is formulated and submitted. Mr A. E. JqlJ, "I don't know if the council thouglit we were going to embark on a flying oampaign. Tliat was not the ldea. We were approached to see if we would support a movement started by someone else. We do not do any flying. ^ Mr W. J. Lyon, "Except that there is a lot of kite-flving, sir." (Laughter). J A letter drawing attention' to planting*of willows on the right bank of the river along the Awatoto block and stating that they were likely to become a danger to the left side of the bank, was placed. before the meeting of the Napier Harbour Board by the . Hawke's Bay Rivers Board. The cliair- ; man, Mr A. E. J ull, commented that it seemed from newspaper reports that ' tlie board liad. done some work that : it should not have done without the eonsent of the Rivers Board ,and perhaps that was sp". The board had heen advised hy Messrs Hay and Rochfort, ■ wlio. were engineers to the Rivers i Board, to do the work, and the board ' had assumed what it perhaps should not have, that the engineers were speaking with the autliority of the ( Rivers Board. It was decided to reply j to the Rivers Board explaining the ] position and expressing regret that ' the work had beeCn done without the formal eonsent of the Rivers Board. | It was also decided to ask the engi- c neers for -qn explanation. j
