Mr. Reece, the billiardist, is a passenger to Australia by the Opliir (says a Fremantle cable). He will make a short stay of seven weeks in Australia, and will then visit New Zealand

A Wanganui P.A. message says that the funeral of the late Wiki Kemp took place yesterday afternoon. There was a fairly large attendance of Europeans, despite the fact that the date of the funeral came as a surprise. Many of the visiting natives will leave this morning for Hawke’s Bay, where another tangi is in progress.
