The license lu:ltl bj r Mr Fuszard for the Masonic Hotel lias been transferred to Mr J. S. Ilislop. The Eiflc Volunteers mustered In good force fit the drill-shed Inst evening, and were exercised in battalion drill. The next company parade (including recruits) will be held on Friday evening. The adjourned general meeting of 'the Napier Chamber of Commerce that was to have been held last afternoon, had to be further adjourned until Wednesday next in the absence of a quorum. An international exhibition is to be held in Boston, U.S.. in September next. The Commissioner for Australasia is Mr F. TV". Lincolm, jun., who is now on a tour of the colonies to make the purposes of the exhibition known. Mr TV. J. Birch has been elected chairman of the Meanee Domain Board for the current year. A meeting- of the Board will shortly bo called to take into consideration the matter of planting trees during the ensuing season. Perhaps the largest apple that we have seen "Town in the province is one exhibited in Messrs Hardy and Sulcv's window, • -Town by Mr A. R. TV. Lascclles at Ghvcdale. The apple weighs the extraordinary weig-ht of lib 10oz. Mr C. P Riivcn, owing to ill health, is obliged to relinquish bunine«H, and we hear tluit he has disposed of the Royal Hotel to Mr TV. Morris, late of the White fiwan brewery, but perhaps better known as the lessee of the swimming baths, White road. Mr Fish, M.H.R., expresses the opinion that Major Atkinson's National Insurance .scheme is destined to injure Friendly Societies, while members of Friendly Societies in Christchurch hold the contrary opinion. Partisan politics may have something to do with Mr Fish's expression of opinion. The New Zealand Insurance Company have purchased the fifty years lease of the block of buildings in Auckland bounded by the Post Office and Custom House, Shortland, Queen, and Fort streets, at a rental of £2800 per annum, and intend to erect suitable business premises at the corner, their present offices being found inconveniently email for ttwir increasing business.

At the usual monthly meeting of the Waipawa School Committee, held last evening , , Mr Duncan Guy, solicitor, was unanimously nominated to fill the scat in the Education Board vacant through the resignation of Mr G-. E. Lee. We liave no doubt that Mr T Guy, from his well-known opinions on tlio education question, will be well supported by the various committees throughout the "* Hawke's Bay district. In connection with the engineer's report, read at last night's meeting of the Borough Council, Cr. Price pointed out that it recommended the prosecution of works involving an outlay of £SOO, whereas the Corporation banking account was again within £500 of the legal overdraft. Cr. Monteith was of opinion tliut, thoug-li the works were urgently required, they need not be all undertaken at once, and by being carried out by degrees the revenue might keep pace with the expenditure. The oyster season is once more at hand, and Mr E. Gillett, of the Empire Oyster Saloon, Emerson-street, announcesin another column that lovers of the succulent bivalve may have their wants attended to and their tastes gratified by calling at his establishment on and after Saturday next, a shipment being expected from Auckland by the first steamer. "We observe that Mr Gillett has rented the rooms adjoining his fruit mart recently occupied by Mr Colledge, and has had them suitably fitted up with a view to affording his patrons increased accommodation. We remind our readers of the benefit performance to be tendered to Madame Siuionsch at the Theatre Royal to-night. A glance at the outline of the programme published in this issue should in itself be a sufficient guarantee that lovers of good music, in patronising the Theatre to-night, will, in addition to paying a well deserved compliment to the talented baicficlalrc, receive full value for the charge demanded for admission. Madame Simonscn is and always has been most popular in her profession with the residents of this district, who, we trust, will show their appreciation of her many estimable qualities and sterling worth as a vocalist by putting in an appearance at to-night's performance. Country residents requiring patent or proprietary medicines, toilet requisites, faucy goods of any description, stationery,- , ' ire, will best consult their own interests by calling at Professor Moore's establishment, Waipawa, where there is a large and well assorted stock to choose from.
