In Auckland, the Chinese invasion haß not advanced quite so far. John's enterprise here is largely confined to market gardening, but still his sign here and there over shop fronts shows that he has started to annex the occupation of grocer and fruiterer. He is also competing against the washer-woman. Tempted by cheap goods and cheap service, the working classes will unthinkingly patronise the alien, and then as he begins to extend- his field of operations and to undercut them at their own means of livelihood, they will rather tardily realise that it was grievously mistaken folly after all to deal with the Chinaman.

In Karangahape Road the heathen Chinee is entering into opposition with the white fruiterer, with the result that the latter, who cannot live on an onion and the whiff of an opium pipe, finds his or her business falling off. People will buy from Chinamen, especially the wives of working men, who are the worst offenders in this respect, and will not see that they are only damaging their fellow-countrymen by doing so. ' John is so clean, you know,' they say.

The Chinese come from Canton for the most part, arid it is always difficult to trace their doings. Few people know exactly where they get the £100 foreach poll tax but It would seem a few Influential Chinese here have often a hand in the matter.

CHINESE IMMIGRANTS. (Per Press Association;) [ ... AUCKLAND, last night. A Chinese fruit merchant " named Sai Louie was arrested on a charge of having assisted two prohibbitted Chinese immigrants to land in New Zealand. When he came before Mr J.E. Wilson, S.M., to-day, Chief Detective McMahon asked for a remand. Mr Selwyn Mays, who appeared for the Customs Department, stated that while bail in a substantial sum was not objected to, he felt justified from an incident which occurred "last- night, it asking the Magistrate to "warn accused against any attempt to communicate with the two Chinese now. in prison, awaiting trial for having landed in New Zealand 1 unlawfully, or to talk over the case with/'any other Chinese who might be called as witnesses for ! the prosecution.

Jimmy Chee, a 'Chinese fruiterer at Takapuna, was charged with having assaulted Arthur Bestic so as to cause him actual bodily harm. Jimmy, a diminutive Oriental, ( who certainly looked mild enough; denied the assault charge and was defended by Lawyer Leary. Besatic told rather a tall tale. According, him, he was walking quietly past Jimmy's fruit shop In the wee small hours of New Year's Day when the door suddenly burst open and out --rushed a crowd of heathen Chinese, Jimmy brandishing a terrible-looking knife, presumably with the intention of initiating a miniature Boxer Rising The only casualty, however, was to Bestic, who got a cut on his hand.

A couple of years, ago, the only white fruiterer In Qtfeen > Streets, Auckland, disappeared and his place was taken over by the Chinks. He .was bought out by them outright. One morning into his shop there came a* Chinaman who is a man of substance m Auckland. He said: "1 will give you £3000 FOR THIS- BUSINESS." The fruiterer, with a stock worth about £ 600, took it while the going was good, but it was related that eight months afterwards the Chinaman said he had already taken £1500 towards his £3000.
