PERSONAL.
Mr. J. Georgeson, officer in charge of the Government Labor Bureau at Taihape, and who formerly occupied a similar position in this district, is at present on a short visit to Gisborne.
Rev. Father Lane left for Auckland last evening to attend the annual retreat of the clergy, and will be absent for ten days. There was no service at St. Mary’s last night, no r will there he any next Sunday. Father (Lane announced in Chapel yesterday that any urgent calls would be attended to by Rev. Father Dignan, who might be communicated with by telephone to Mr Con. Necnan’s hotel at Ormond. Captain Brinclc. of the schooner Awanui, left by the s.s. Monowai last night on six weeks’ holiday leave. He will visit Rotorua, and on return tr/ Auckland will be married.
Mr. C. J. East has received the appointment of organist to ’St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Kirk went South on a holiday trip last- evening by the s.s. Monowai.
Lieut.-Colonel Russell and Major Sandtmann left for the South by the Monowai last evening. Thus the special correspondent of the “Argus” on Lord Kitchener: —For a week and a half we careered after “IC” down the eastern side of Australia, through Brisbane and _ Lytton; Toowoomba and Warwick; Newcastle, Sydney, Liverpool, and Bathurst; Seymour and Melbourne. We wrote our “com-” in telegraph offices, in railway cars, on railway platforms, at banquet tables, in ciamp tents (where the hurricane lamps blew out after a holocaust of a million mosquitoes), or sitting on the stumps of trees. And we thanked kind Heaven when here and there an admiral, or a Masonic society, or a citizen took him away to a purely private luncheon or dinner, for then we knew we were safe. He could do nothing for an hour, at least. After dinner, perhaps, there would be a little journev of 20 miles in a motor, or 200 miles *in a train, but these tilings came to be like a suburban tram-ride. This we did for seven days. Then the man who was with “Iv.” in India said: “Just) so. And we have done it tor seven years.” ,
