XVeasels' or stoats have heen responsible for killirig twelve young wild ducks placed on the reserve which is being prepared by the Napier Tliirty , Thousand Club. It is some time since the birds were placed ort the reserve, and it was hoped that they would become sufficiently tame to remain there when the reserve was betrig rised by the public. XVorkmen erigaged on tlie reserve found them dead on a recent morning,- however. Each one of theni had been bitten in the side of the neck.

Resentment' and indigriation is expressed at Foxton at ihe sfateriieHt made by Mr Bromley at Dunedin, as published in the prdss, to the efiect that the cbuditious are so bad in Foxton that nobody pays rates or storekeepers. Tlie Mayor, Mr Pei-reau, iri a statement to tlie press, says tliat the statement constitutes a gross slander on the citizens, who are quite as honourable in this respect as thoso df any town in the world. Considerable hardsliip is suffered by a portion of tlie community througli unemploymerit, which Mr Bromlev has in his power to remedy materially. The unqualified denunciation of the whole comniuriity by Mr Bromley was entirely unwarranted. — Press Assoeiation. Time and tide wait for no man ftnd the same, with almost as mueli ccnsistency, can he said of niail steamers, in which coimecfion the experience of a Napier resident is intefestirig. Leaving Napier by car at an early hour with a friend who had to cateli a boat leaving Wellington at 1 p.m., the Napier resident had tlie misfortune df having two punctures before reaching Woodville. He had two spare tyres but wisely stopped at the place Go have the punctured ones mended. It was not until 9.30 that he toak tlie road again for the south. ITis troubles had not yet ended, hoWever, for before the Capital City was reacbed two more punctures were experienced. In spite of this the car arrived iu time for Ihe man to cateli the boat.

Proposals forwarded at the conference of delegates from New Zealand Art Societies, held some weeks ago in Wellington, reached a conclusion yesterday with the formation of a *New Zealand Assoeiation of Art Societies.This was done afc a similar conference of delegates, presidedi over by Dr, B. Gunson, at the art gallery iri Whitmore street. _ The delegates had £eported to their respective societies in the meantime _ and a 'resolution to form an Assoeiation of New Zealaiid Art 'Societies was carried. _ The purpose_ of the new assoeiation is to prrivide for a better co-ordination between the activities of the societies in the Dominion and to handle effeotively question which concern theiri. Boys _and_ girls attending secondary schools in Napier have frequently been scen in the streets of the city studiously examining small but "apparently very important papers during the prist few days. The sight immediately feminds those who seq theni that' the last week or two in November and the first few days of December are the periods for annual school examiriatioris. Candidafes for national scholarsliips arid public sefvic-e entrance examinations took their papers last week rrid aspirants for matriculation have beeri titting this week.

1 An interided trip to Norfolk Island by tlhe riew motor_ vessel Taupata lias : been cancelled owing to trouble with. • tho erew. _ The Taupata was huilt by > George Nicdly aad iyhdri she jwas- com- " pleted last week she was sold to the : Anchor Shipping arid Foundry Cbiri- : pariy, "Wellington. Slie was to have beeri taken ever bV the riew owners 1 when she returned from Norfolk Islafid. On T'hursdav memhers of the crew signed on the vessel arid commenced | their duties yesterday. After worldrig for four hours five seameri iriforriied ihe . captairi that they wished to be.paid off, but rio reasdn tvas giv-eri. Afterwafds s it was annouriced that, owirig to the men's action the trip had heen aban- | doned. The dispute is in connection ; with '4he manning scale. 1 ' Like "The Bfook," miniature golf, . thougB it has . only just been intfodueea, seems likely to go on for -evei*. It has rapidly becqme the vogue to play miriiatufe golf, and judging by the crbnvds which daily and riightly are to be found enjoying themselves at the "Bobby Jones" mmiature golf corirse in the new Post Office building, Hastings street, the game is still incteasing iu popularity. The spacious 18-hoIe links at the "Bobby Jones" miniature golf course prove.a good test of skillj and each evenmg sees an allround improvement on the play of most of tlie patrons. There were soirie good scores made yesterday, but many other good scores may be expected before the time eomes to decide the ffnals in the £10 10s weekly c;ish competitions. No entrance fee is charged for these eoinpetiitiris, which is operi to all patrons of the "Bohby Jones" miniature golf course. To all lovers of miniature golf no mere charming in atmosplieric surrquridings, or better laid out liuks, with hazardg of the most complicated, could possibly be found or iniagined thari Napiers latest course, "Rorikery Noofe," situated at the cbfner of Dalton and Dickens streets. No better proof of the popularity of this frivourite golfers' 'rendezvous is the increased nrimbers that visit "Rookery Nook" throughout fhe day and evening, when large piivate pavties take advantage of playing their' favourite indoor pastime .on the links, which are already recognised as orie of the foremost jn Australasia, The management should feel more than pleased with the complinient paid to thent by a number oi woolbuyers who recently vistted Napier, by stating tlat they, already professionals in the art of miniature golf, had not played in all their travels on a better or pfeftier set of Iiriks thaii provided by "Rookery Nook." The course is operi from 11 a.rii. till il p.iri. Mhone 2323. Attention is drawri to an adv'ertisemrint appearirig on tlie back page of this . issue of an iniportant sale of a Bluff Hill resideutial property. Messrs Harvey, Fulton arid Hill, auctioneers, under instfuctions from tlie District Public Trustee, will offer by public auction the residence of the late Mr L. Azzopardi, situated at .28 France road. On accourit- of its splendid positiori this property should he of _ considerable iriterest to anyone wishing a hill residence. After the property has been offered Messrs J. S. West and C'o., auctioneers, will put the contents of the dwelling under the hammer.* The present situaiion in regard to. business generally reveals that those who are wise seize very oppcrtuuity for a sound investment, These are, however^ few and far between, under the existing conditions of finance and trade. The advertisement in another column by the A.M.P. Society is, therefore, all the more worthy of attention at the moment. The society announces that all those who take out policies before December 31 will share in the surplus to be divided amongst participating policy-holders as at that date. The cash divided among ordinary department policy-holders at December 31 last (for one year only) was just on £3,000,000, making a total distribution since the establishment of the society of over £47.000, OOO. Immecnate application should he made hy thqse who intend taking advantage of this offer.* 1 uesday next will be your last opportunitv to visit Thorp's bargain counter, in Hersehell street.
