HAWAIIAN ENTERTAINERS
   A VARIED PROGRAMME
  Kaii’s Hawaiian Troubadours made their first appearance at the Opera House last evening to a large and appreciative audience.… Very soon the company, generally and together, was on the best of terms with the audience, and a successful evening was assured. It was recognised that the troubadours were artists with the ukulele and the guitar, and Kaii himself an exceptionally fine performer on the banjo. Applause was frequent and demonstrative. On the whole the genuine Hawaiian items had the preference, and the song, “Ipo Lei Manu,” by Eddie Kinilau, was a decided favourite.… In Queenio Kaili was discovered a born comedienne.… Her tricks of voice, gesture, and facial expression, all unforced and seemingly unstudied, made everyone in the theatre a friend, and she was recalled again and again.… Four of the troubadours gave some brilliant examples of jazz music, finishing to a perfect tornado of applause.… The entertainment reflected great credit upon its producer, Ernest #Kaii. Taken in part and as a whole it was unusual, bright, and attractive, and was endorsed last night as an unequivocal success.…

GALLIPOLI, FRANCE, FLANDERS,
AND EGYPT
COMMEMORATION OF NOBLE
SACRIFICES
SATURDAY’S SOLEMN SERVICES

Ten years have passed since the Landing at Gallipoli, and a little more than six years and five months since there was quiet in reality on the Western Front, but to those who had some hand in the stirring scenes of wartime it seems as if they were enacted but yesterday.…
Throughout the crowded, solemn, and impressive services held in #Wellington and all over the Dominion on Saturday, Anzac Day, the principal theme was the call to service, which was the lesson handed down by those who had fallen in the conflict, or who had cheerfully borne with wounds and sickness in order that a false philosophy and a flaunting bid for world domination might be successfully withstood. Grief, poignant but proud, still evidenced the bitter sense of loss felt by those whose loved ones had been borne away, but withal there was dominant the note of anticipation of that promised time when swords shall be beaten into ploughshares, when the last enemy, Death, shall be overcome, when wars throughout the world shall cease, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

BUSES FOR THE CITY
MACHINES TO BE BOUGHT
SOME BRITISH, SOME AMERICAN
REASONS FOR THE CHOICE
It was decided by the City Council after a long discussion in committee last evening to purchase three #Daimler machines, one complete #Mack bus, and five Mack bus chassis. The Daimler is a British machine which is considered to be very suitable for hilly country such as will be met with on several of Wellington’s proposed bus runs. The Daimlers are to cost £873 [ca. $110K today] each, the Mack bus £2467 [ca. $312K], and the five Mack chassis £6485 [ca. $820K]. The Macks are American.
…
COMPETITION LIKELY.
“There is every indication that the Corporation in the immediate future will be face to face with severe competition from privately-owned machines, and it may be taken for granted that competitors will not use British machines.…

         NEW ZEALAND LEPERS
   TO BE TRANSFERRED TO FIJI.
                        ——
 Some time ago it was announced that an arrangement had been arrived at with the #Fiji Government for the concentration of all lepers from British colonies in the Pacific at the Mokagai leper station, Fiji.
  On Quail Island, #Lyttelton Harbour, there are nine lepers consisting of four Maoris, two Chinese, and three Europeans.
  The Minister of Health (the Hon. Sir Maui Pomare) stated to-day that it had been decided to close the Quail Island station and transfer the lepers from there within the next two or three months. The cost of their maintenance at Fiji would be borne by the New Zealand Government. All the patients had consented to go to Fiji.

CARGO OF GUANO
DISPUTE WITH WATERSIDE
WORKERS

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

AUCKLAND, 21st April.
Trouble arose to-day over the discharge of the Union Company’s cargo steamer Kakapo, which arrived early this morning from Walpole Island with a cargo of bagged #guano. Six gangs were engaged to work the vessel, but when the steamer berthed at Central Wharf only three gangs were ready to commence discharge. The hatches were lifted, and everything was ready for unloading, when the secretary of the Watersiders’ Union ordered the men to cease work. The hatches were again covered, and the steamer remained idle.
The Union Company state that the men were offered 2s 7½d [ca. $16.60 today] per hour to work the ship, but the offer was not accepted. The award wage for the working of guano is 2s 4½d [ca. $15], 2d [ca. $1.05] in excess of that for the handling of ordinary cargo. A similar situation arose when the Kakapo arrived at Auckland some months ago with the same kind of cargo. On that occasion the vessel was idle for several days before an agreement was reached. No decision had been reached to-night.

ON A SUNDAY
SELLING SECTIONS PROHIBITED
—–
As the result of a judgment delivered by Mr. C. R. Orr Walker, S.M., to-day, land salesmen may not show prospective buyers over sections for sale on a Sunday.
The case in point was one in which James Francis Egan, of the Dominion Land Investment Company, Wellington, land salesman, was charged with working at his calling on a Sunday.
The prosecution alleged that a breach of the Act had been committed when the defendant showed two prospective buyers over sections for sale at #Johnsonville on a recent Sunday.
“It is clear that the defendant was working at his calling,” said the Magistrate, “which I take it, is his regular work or occupation. As he did this on a Sunday, and in view of a public place, I think he has brought himself within the prohibition of the Police Offences Amendment Act.”
As the prosecution was regarded as a test case, the defendant was ordered to pay costs.
