"In the river at Te Awa we have the finest river in Napier," seriously declared a speaker introducing a queen election candidate at the Municipal Theatre last night. The statement provoked much laughter. The English cricket team arrives at Wellington on December 10, and plays its first match in New Zealand against a Wellington team, for which T. Lowry and R. Worker, of Hawke's Bay, have been nominated for selection. Some speculation has arisen as to when the repairs necessary in the footpath in Hastings street, consequent on the slabs being torn up hy the Post and Telegraph Department to permit of the laying of the underground cahles, are to be gone on with, biit, according to the borough officials the necessary slabs are now being prepared. It is proposed to replace and level up all the intact slabs, while those that were damaged will he repaced by new ones. The work is te be done by the City Council and charged to the Government. Wool is now coming into the stores in Napier so steadily that it is expected that the 25,000 bale limit set for the second sale of December 11 will be easily reaclied, although yesterday' s wet weather again held up shearing. Those who have followed tlie Sydney wool saies will have noted that _ pi-ices have improved, and! especially since the offerings have been curtailed. In October, greasy Merino fleece wool sold at 17^d to 20^d, but this montli prices have advanced greatly. On November 13 this class of wool made 24fd, and on November 19 as much as 28-kl. It would seem that Merino wool is recovering, and- that should help crossbred wool. On the 23rd. inst. a very enjoyable evening was spent at the home of Ma- and Mrs R. Dassler, of Onga Onga, on the occasion of their eldest son's (Basil) twenty-fh-st birthday. Numerous friends wei-e present and! one and all thoroughly enjoyed the games and dancing. The music was provided by Mm B. Hook and Miss C. Mclvor, while delightful extras were played by Messrs A. Hutt, A. Rasmussen and P. Thomson. Mr R. Dassler entertained the compan*- with a humurous reeitation which was greatly appreciated. Songs were giv6n by the Misses N. Hook, B. Crana and R. Mclvor. During the evening a presentation was made by Mr Hook, on behalf;of Basil's fnends, of a leather suitcase, while he was also the recipient of various other presents. Durmg supper toasts were given to parents, son, guests and the King. A spot waltz was won by Miss M. Freemantle and Mr P. Thomson atid the waltzing competition by Mrs B. Hook and Mr W, C. Ereemantle. Mr Basil Dassler made a speech thanking his friends for their generosity and the ladies for their help. The party then. brolte np after a very enjoyable evening. In connection with the arrival of the new motor _ ship Rangitiki a Napier resident points out that the spelling perpetuatos the mistake made when the first ship of that name was christened. In the old days the pakehas wege riot certain a-hoiit the proper way to spell Maori names, a fault that was even more marked in the south than in the liorth. The sailer Rangitiki was a successful craft, and so sentiment attaches to her name; thus it has been bestowed on the latest addition to the flcet. Misspelled names are quite common among ships on the New Zealand coast, and most of them embalm the iveird way the soilthern people think Maori lobks on papei*. Tlie Kurow does not appear to have a Maori name, as all Maori words mnst end with a vowel, but if it is written correctly, "Kurau," one can see how the mistake happened. The Kartigt is an even more glaring exalnple of murdered Maori. "Katiki" is the correct spelling. There used to he a steamer running between Auckland and Sydney called tlie Ihumata. Properly tlie name is Ihumatao, the name of the point of land rtmning out into the Manukau from Mangere. The nailie means "cold nose," which may be figurative or it may be the name of some celebrated old chief bestowed On the spot.

The fifth wool sale of the season will be held in Christchurch on Saturday, followed by one in Wellington on Decemher 6 and the second Napier sale •on December 11. The next Napier sale is expected to provide the first real test in Hawke's Bay of the position of erossbred wool. Althongh there was 0, fairly large offei'ing at Auckland on Monday much of it_ was not classe-cl, all grades being mixed. So far tlie chief support has heen grven by the Continent, principally Germany, and by the Tasinanian mills, and Bradford, Jrance, and America liave hougbt eompaxatively little.

The Department of Health has advised the authorities in Napier that a third nurse has been allotted to Napier for treating children' s teeth in dental elinics. A local committee to control the clinic has been appointed as the result of the recent- decision ot the Hawke's Bay Education Board that it conld no longer carry on tlie mainteuance of scliool dental clinics which have been estahlished m various paris of the district by tlie Health Department. Members of the newlyformed committee are Messrs r . VLay> G. H. Cooke, T. Rowe, W. G. Ball and H. H. Berry. At a meeting of the committee held last evemng Mr Cray was elected chairman and Mr -J.

Long after the advertised timo of startlng people continued to arrive, makmg such. a noise in their entrance that often it was quite impossihle to hear tlie speakeis on the stage. Finally the doorkeepei ghut the door, but even this did not deter the dilatory ones, for they then made an even greater noise and tried to pull or push the door open. A suggestion made by one gentleman present was that the council should pi ovide "house full" notices for hangmg on the doors to indicate to late comers that there is no further accommodation when the house is full.
