We enclose in this issue a plan of the property of Mrs Jessie Fitzgerald, including four Napier suburban sections, which are to be sold by Mr E. Lyndon on the 26th instant. The Jbtev. De Berdt Hovell announced in St. John's Church yesterday that a meeting of the members of the congregation would be held on next Wednesday evening week, the 27th instant, to consider tbe " robing of the choir." In consequence of Clive Square being wet last Saturday the football match arranged did not come off. It will, however, be played on Wednesday afternoon, play to commence at 3.30 sharp. We hope to see a large muster of all comers, so as to get the team picked to go to Waipawa in good practice. In our fourth page will be found some interesting correspondence, that we have extracted from a Wairarapa conteraporarv, on the question of the importation of stoats and weasels. In view of the rabbit plague every information is important that bears _pon the means of mitigating the pep. 1 , tbat threatens the pastoral industries ;of thacountiy. I Members of tho Working Men's Club are ""reminded that the r.rixt entertainment takes ' place on Wednesday evening, when a lecture on "Tha Sun," will be delivered by Mr Thompson, the head-master of the district fchjol. Judging from the manner Su whioh Mr Thompson was received at his ILa si; lecture in tho c'u-.ii, there should be a ,arge attenebmee, and 't is hoped members will invite their friends.

The knee cap has also been severely injured. The accident will Jreep the patient on his-- back for six weeks, but Dr. de Lisle is in hopes that no permanent lameness will re.'-.ult.

The first c f a series of concerts which, at the request of a number of friends, Miss Percy intends holding' during the winter months, ca_»e off in the Hastings schoolroom on Thursday evening last, and, despite the wet, was well attended and very successful. The concert opened with a pianoforte duet, " The National Lancers," by the Misses Percy, followed by the glee " Blow Blow, thou Winter Winds," by Messes Kelly and Percy, Mr Reynolds and Mr Williams, Miss Kelly then following with a very pleasing song, for which she was loudly applauded. A solo on the pianoforte by Miss E. Wood came next, and was really a treat, this young lady showing great talent. Mr Edwards now rendered " The Good-bye at the Door" in his capital style, for which he was encored. " The Bellringer,' by VTr Williams, then followed, and was well received. The next on the programme, " What are the wild waves saying," a duet by Misses Kelly and Percy, was really delightful. " Madeline," by Mr Edwards, was the next, and as might be expected demanded an encore. A trio by Miss Percy, Mr Reynolds, and Mr Williams, brought the first part of the programme to a close. After an interval of ten minutes the Misses Kelly opened with a pianoforte duet "Silver Trumpets," which was well received. A glee " Chough and Crow," by Misses Kelly and Percy, Mr Reynolds and Williams, was as usual well appreciated. A song by Miss Porcy, " Do they think of mo at home," was loudly applauded an encore being demanded. Hong " Maid of Athens," by Mr Edwards, who fairly carried the audience with him, a rapturous encore being demanded, which was again greatly applauded. A pianoforte duet by Misa Percy and a pupil (Misa

Luckie) was the next, and was nicely played. A. song bj Mips Percy, " The memories of tbe past," was well received by the audience. This lady is evidently a favourite with concert g-oers, as her songs are all well appreciated. A duet, " Ring out wild bells," by Mioses Kelly and Percy followed. A glee from " Oberon in Fairy Land" brought a most successful concert to a close. Mr Gilpin and others who had promised to he present failed to keep their promise, I have no doubt that the next time they appear before a Hastings audience they wiil hear of it.
