  5. SALE OF LOST PROPERTY.

    A quaint reflection of the forgetfulness of railway passengers is the collection of articles at the lost property store, periodically sold by public auction. The representative of Messrs. J. W.

  6. HOW MILK-CANS ARE DAMAGED BY CARELESS HANDLING.

    For a long time the Victorian Wholesale Milk Suppliers' Association has blamed the Railways department for the careless handling of milk and cream cans, the "life" of which is often reduces to six months through being battered and bumped in transit. While not entirely absolving the department from blame in the matter, the association has now cause to modify its complaints, as it finds that the drivers employed by retail distributers cause most of the heavy loss to the producers by sheer carelessness in loading and unloading the cans. These pictures were taken at Caulfield yesterday, and show the manner in which empty cans were thrown out of the carts on to the roadway and platform. A driver is seen on the left in the act of pitching the can out of the cart. On the right is a row of battered cans. In the centre (above) is a closer ... [ILLUSTRATED]

  10. CRICKET AT CORANDERRK.

    This might well pass for a photograph of bearded and sunburnt cricket enthusiasts of the days when W. G. Grace was a young man. But at the Coranderrk aborigines' station the natives disdain the safety razor, though they are "up to date" in the o[?]-theory and the eight-ball over. Most of the team shown at play are fullblooded aborigines, and their average age is nearly half-a-century. ... [ILLUSTRATED]

  12. KINDLY THOUGHT FOR INCAPACITATED SOLDIERS.

    So far behind us now are the experiences of the war that the public is apt to forget that at the Caulfield Military Hospital and similar institutions are permanently disabled soldiers, who must spend all their days as cot cases in a ward, and who hunger for the little attentions and thoughtful acts which show that they are not forgotten. Concert parties to brighten their dullness are especially welcome. Yesterday was quite a red-letter day at Caulfield, when members of Mr. Hugh J. Ward's "Tangerino" Company entertained the patients with comedy numbers. A group at the [?]ots is shown. Mr. Mark Daly and Miss May Beatty are at the foot of the rear left-hand cot, with Mr. Ireland Cutter behind Miss Beatty; Miss Maude Vera is leaning over the cot on the right. ... [ILLUSTRATED]
