The river is close to .the child's pai'ents* house. — Press Association. One of the functions that the Waikaremoana natives desire His Excellency the Gover'nor-General to carry out in November is to christen the two big generators in the new power-house. The names to be bestowed on these giants of power are not yet known, but they are sure to be those of some famous ancestors. It is understood that there were five candidates nominated for the bishopric of Waiapu diocese,_ and that some time was spent in committee considering th© qualifications of the respective nominees. The eventual choice lay between 'two of the candidates, and Archdeacon Williams was elected as successor to the Rt. Rev. Dr. Sedgwick, the nomination being adopted with complete unanimity. Holida.v travellers over the Labour Day week-end will enjov the privilege of a substanfial reduction in train fares.

J. G. Cobbe in connection with the freezing works at Aorangi. "To put *it plainly," one farmer safd, "had it not heen for the c^ireful guidance of Mr Cobbe there would have heen no Feilding freezing ' works to-day." It will be remembered that tlie Minister of Marino resignecl his position on the directorate of the works because it was assertecl at the annual meeting of shareholders that he was associated with a Government that was harming the farmers by its taxation proposals. Caught ?n tlie early stages and promptly suppressed a fire in a small storage shed adjoimng Denholm Bros. grocery store in Waghorn street, Port Ahuriri, did not do a great deal of damage on Saturday night. The Port Fii-e Brigade turned out promptly when . the alarm was. given and mueh of the (Jamage done to the stock was causod by water sprayed on to the flames. . Old identities know the biiilding well, it being described as^one of tbe oldest standing on the Port, being over 60 years old, Many years ago it was a crockery and grocery store, but when taken over hy its present owners it was shifted back from the street front and turned into a storage shed. "Armageddon, the final war between the nations," foriued the subject of the usual Sunday afternoon address given in the Foresters' Hall yesterday. It was submitted that "Armageddon" indicated the district of Migiddo, in Palestine, when it was predicted that Britain and a confederacy of nations led hy Russia would meet in a final conflict. At this crisis' it was shownl from the Scriptures that Christ, having returned to the eArth, would be revealed with the resurrected saints and would pour out upon the earth the long-restrained wrath of God. It wo-uld be His mission to overthrow and destroy all human governments and establish the kinudom of God upon the earth which would last for 1000 years. Mr Arthur Law, former All Black and Manawatu representative, ivho since his transfer to the Dannevirke district, has undertaken the duties of coach to the Pirates Rugby Football Club, was presented at a wihd-up social with a fountain pen, in appreciation of his valuable services. The club, though in its fiiist .season , as a senior club, won the Hunter Shield and mucli of the team's success was due to Mr Law's coacliing. Mr Law, in reply, said that so long as he remained -in the district his services would always be at the disposal of the club. In response to the expressed hope that he would don tlie jersey hjmself next season, he said that migbt not be possible but he would' coutiriue to give the team his advice and help.

An attempt to force a window in Hannali's boot shop at tlie corner of Hastings street alid Browning street was made during the week-end by some person or persons unknown. The would-be thief broke the lock liolding the catch on one of the windows and endeavoured to force it open, bnt fortunately for the owner another lock lower down held and the attempt was frustrated. It is reported that this is not the only case of attempted window breaking in Napier witnin the past few months. On Sunday afternoon Condiiet'or C. McCormell and memhers of the Napier Municipal Band gave the inmates of the Parke Island Home a musical treat. The programme contained ten very pleasing numbers. Miss Anderson, matron, and Mrs Hay-Cliapman entertained the company to a dainty spread. Mr E.. Hay-Chapman thanked the visitors cordially on behalf of liis charges, and Mr Callaghan replied for the conductor and bandsmen. Mr J. T. Harvey, of the Hawke's Bay Motor Company, kindly loaned a large seryice bus, which made the visit possible. With the beautiful , weather that ruled over the week-end out-of-door sports proceeded in full swing, Cricket grounds, tennis courts and bowling greens were crowded on Saturday antl yesterday all the bathing spots were heavilv patronised, particularly Te Awa and Westshore, where there were scores of people swimming and boating. The ca,uoeists were in action off the Parade, their highly painted craft making a pretty picture when contrasted with the deep blue of the sea. As an indication or the popularity of Westshore it ean be stated tbat a passing motorist counted no less than 100 parked cars between the beacons of Mr J. -Yigor Brown's residence.

Clark. wbose business prevented him from being present. Mr Forsythe, of St. Patrick's Club, extended very eincere thanks for the enjoyable afternoon spent on the courts and hoped to meet the players again in a match on Lahour Day. The enthufiiasm displayed in tennis at Bay View this season indicates that it should te a record for the club.

It is reported amongst farmers _ in Hastings that the system of certifying for grass seed is to be adopted in Hawke's Bay this year by the Government. The scheme is in vogue in some jvther provinces and has proved very acceptable both to the buyers and sellers of the seed, as it involves what practically amounts to *a guarantee of good quality. The selle/ of the seed is thus ahle to command a better price for his product, while the buyer is secure in the knowledge that he is purchasing a good quality seed. The crop is inspected by Government offifficials during its growth and after 'the harvest, and a certificate is issued that the seed is vigorous and free from disease. The sanie system is employed at preeent in the grading of seed potatoes. Mr R. A. Noedl, deaf aid specialist, representing Messrs F. G. Reid and Son, London, will visit Napier on Tuesday and Wednesday, 29th and 30th of this month, and may be consulted at Mr W. P. Henderson's ehemist shop, Hastings street.

The Hawke's Bay County Council is at present building a small concrete bridge over the Irongate stream on the Maraekakaho road. The new structure, which is about half completed, is expected to be a big improvement on the old narrow wooden bridge. A Napier motorist, returting from a trip to Central Hawke's Bay last liight, had a unique experience. Near Paki Paki he alinost ran over a liedgeliog in Hastings be narrowly missed a dog and near Clive he swervecl only just in time to avoid qansing the death of a rabbit. Mr R. Allan, who for some yqavs has occupied a responsible posibion with Mrs J. JC. Carpenter, boot importer, in Dannevirke, is leaving at the end of the month in order to enter into business on his own account at New Plymouth^ Mr Allan some timo ago took a keen interest in Rugbv football, having held a seat on the management committee of the Dannevirke Subunion. With the orehards now in full hlobm the Hawke's' Bay countvyside presents a pretty picture in those districts Avliere fruit is grbwn. Tlie scene in many places is one to inspire an artist or a .poet and in a drive round_ the district yesterday a Napier resident encountered two people in difl'erent spots putting the landscane on canvas. Oue was at work near C'live and anpther was busy near Stortford Lodge. Last year, for the protection of the people who assemble on- Nelson Park every Saturday to watcb the cricket matches, the Napier City Council erected a low wire-netting fenco round the boundary to stop the balls from flving into the spectators. On Saturday, however, when a representative trial match was in progress, a number of' small hoys persisted in sitting on the inside of the fence and on mor© than one oceasion narrowly escaped being hit hy balls driven in tbeir direction. The Hawke's Bay Aero Club's aerodrome at Longlands is a popular holi--day spot for Hastings residents on Sundays, and many people motor out to the grounds to see the 'planes in action. The fascination of seeing the machines perform is also drawing people from even further afield and amongst the crowd that assembled at the ground yesterday to see the newlyqualified pilots stunt were several people from Napier and a car load from Waipukurau. The club's new machine, the Simmonds Spartan, was undergoing overhaul and only the D.H. Moth was in action. Nevertheless in this machine the pilots who gained their tickets last week carried out entertaining evolutions over the 'drome. The. death occurred suddenly on Saturday er'ening, at his residence, Waipukurau, of Mr Henry Duncumb Price, aged 56. Deceased had been ill with 'pneumonia hut- Avas making excellent progress until a ) sudden heart attark supervened and he passed away. The late Mr Price, who was born in Victoria, came to New Zealand about 25 years ago. He resided in Dannevirke for a number of years prior to coming to Waipukurau a number of years ago. Deceased was very esteemed in the district, where he carried out many important contract works for local bodies, including the laying in of the first section of the Waipukurau borough drainage scheme. His word was always his bond. A widow and nine children, most of whom are grown up, are left to mourn their loss. Deceased, who was a Freemason of very many years' standing, will be accorded a Masonic funeral at Waipukurau to-morrow.

Humour and excitemenf were provided during tlie week-end when a heifer heing plaeed on the Malco at Port Ahuriri forced its wa.v out of the canvas sling and landed on the upper deck. Tlie heast quicklv demonstrated that it was unharmed by dashing into a corridor that led below into the saloon. Within a few seconds quarters that had been spick and span were turned upside down. After paying hurried calls to a riumher of eabins the heifer made into the saloon Avhere afternoon tea was neatly laid on the tables. In a few minutes almost evervtliing movable was smashed. Eventually the heifer was secured with a rope and 'by the aid of a winch was hauled from the saloon, up the stairs and on to the cleck, and from there was lowered into the liold to ioir; Ihe rest of the herd that Ava s heing sent to Lyttelton. Shipwrights had to be engaged. to make the eabins and saloon in order again, and so complete Avas the Avork of the heifer that the officers and engiueers, aa*1io usually dine in the saloon, had to forsake it for their evening meal and have it at oue of the adjoining hotels. After a delay of several hours the Mako eventually got aAvay for Lyttelton at 8.20 p.m.
