Mr W. G. Cropp, city inspector of Christchurch, will probably go down to future generations as the man who secured the biggest crop of defendants in one fell swoop (says the “Evening News”)- It is in his name that “the Mayor, councillors, and citizens of Christchurch,” have been cited to appear before the magistrate for a breach of the city by-jaw prohibiting the overcrowding of places of amusement, the terrible crime having occurred last Sunday on the occasion of the municipal organ recital. It is, perhaps, not generally known, that all penalties inflicted in respect to breaches of the city by-laws are remitted to the City Council. In view of this.a comic opera position arises. Assuming “the Mayor, councillors, and citizens” are mulcted in the heaviest penalty possible, who will really j be penalised? The latest in Silver Smelling Salts and Scents. Nasmith and Son, Jewellers.* For flies, sand-flies, and mosquitoes, there is nothing so good to exterminate them as the now famous Fli-Keelo. Try a tin to-day. Wholesale agents, L. D. Nathan, Gisborne. Or direct from the Dingo Medicine Co., Ltd., Auckland.* “Give a dog a bad name and hang him.” Give a man bad Brandy and poison him. BUT give him MartelPs and you mav say “There’s life in the old dog yet.”* , •" Tired and wor' ...j. after your trip? Take a dose of Stearns’-Wine of Cod Liver Extract—relieves all fatigue; •imparts a feeling of freshness and energy.*
