Tho last meeting of the Hawke's Bay Council prior to the county general elections, will take placo on Monday, at the usual • hour. We direct attention to the alteration in tho dale for receiving tenders for the construction of two miles of road on the Poliui road. The Poverty Bay coursing club is to be wound up, waut of hares and poaching on ' the few they had are the causes of the collapse. Captain Tozor, late master of the steamer y Ringarooma, is applying for the post of 0 harbor-master and master of the tug at r Bluff. Tho subject of Mr Paterson's sermon toll morrow morning is "The Gospel," and in the evening the subject of lecture will bo ,f '< The Spirit World Unveiled.'' Mr Wilson, the advance agent of ', Chiarini's circus, left to-day by the steamer for Wellington, to make the necessary are rangements for the opening there. We again remind our country readers of the special train arrangements made to enable them to visit the circus. To-night 0 tho train for Hastings will not leave till after the performance, and on Monday there will y be a special train from Waipukurau. r The Bay of Plenty Times says:— "Tawhiaois now due from London, and 9 expected daily at Wellington. On his arrival he will be interviewed by Mr John Sheehan and tho chief Wahauui, of the King Country, who will represent the natives of the colony." Nominations for the Flying Stakes Han- ; - dicap, Hutt Park Spring Handicap,>Crand Stand Handicap, Railway Stakes Handicap, Hurdle Handicap and St. Andrews Handicap, (nomination fee 1 soy.) for the Wel)j lington Racing Club's Spring meeting 2Sth and 29th November, are due ou Monday to next the 20th instant. At a Salavation Army tea meeting in Oamaru last week, Major Pollard stated that there were twenty-seven stations in full swing iv New Zealand, and that others would be established'as soon as arrangements had been completed, and their operatations "would bo continued until tho Salvation Army flooded the land." The Guardian says: —"Toall appear- - ances there will be very littlo maize grown in the Wairoa district this year, owing to ?. the bad crop of maize last season, and consequent scarcity of seed. Besides, the natives are going in more for wheat. Around Te Hatepe about 150 acres of this crcal havo > been put in, and the crop looks exceedingly , well." 2 . In connection with Chiarini's circus it may interest our young readers to know that Mr s Higgins, the butcher, has an order to sup,q ply 1401bs. of meet every morning for the [ Q wild beasts. When the two elephants had ,„ been walked up from the Spit and had been ~c comfortably housed in J. Wells' stable, they cr were each given a big truss of hay which ° s neither of them regarded as too large a helping. . -\ The P.B. Herald says Mr Conway was the special correspondent of the Melbourne Age with the Australian cricket team. Mr Conway is on the Sydney Mail, while tho Age's representative was Mr Hedley. The same paper says SotitK -Australia iv the 6 Caufield Guineas was represented by two horses—the scribe ought to havo known that the three placed fillies all belong to South 2 Australia. | At the R.M. Court this morning before S Captain Preece., Thomas Slater was charged | with forging a cheque on the 2nd October Z. for £45 on the bank of New South Wales in the name of Charles Beetham. At the request of the police he was remanded for a week. —George Johnstone charged with drunkenness yesterday was fined 5s and costs, as he at once owned to the soft impeachment. Judge Fen ton h as evidently not been struck : with the übiquity of the Auckland "bobby." Iv a letter to tho Harbor Board on Tuesday, ► wherein ho had occasion to refer to thai : portion of Her Majesty's subjects known as the larrikins, he sarcastically remarked that "as the Board is_ aware, policeijfien 1 arc only to be met with in Queen-street and . ou the wharf." In tho words of the nigger 3 stump orator, " Then why do wo wonder at .• crime ?'' ' We venture to predict that a very large • majority of the ratepayers of the Meanee Riding will be glad to read Mr George ! Rymer's reply to the large and influential requisition that was presented him the other 1 day. Mr Rymor not only consents to stand again for the seat in tho Couucil which he ' has occupied with so much credit to himself ■ and advantage to his district, but he invites the electors to meet him at the Oddfellows' Hall, Taradale, on tho 25th instant. Mr Dobson held to-day on behalf of tho N.Z. Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, his first sale at the Spit stores. Thero was a good attendance of the trade present, and most of the lots of wool offered wero disposed of, besides a large number of green and dry skins. A cab was in attendance to convey buyers back to town so that they might be present at the sale held at aMater hour by Messrs Hoadley and Co., whero the largest catalogue of the soason so far ttas got through. "A Ratepayer" writes to express his astonishment at the announcement macro by us the other day that Mr Bolton would be a candidate for the representation of tho Puketapu riding in the County Council. "Ratepayer" says the settlers of that district are 'not likely to forget their treatment when Mr Bolton was chairman of thy, Puketapu Road Board when numerous old and respected ratepayers received a lawyer's letter demanding payment of rates beforo the demands had been issued a month. ' The settlers felt insulted by such treatment and the soreness is not healed as the pollinc- day will prove. b J The Evening- Star concludes a leading article with these pertinent sentences : " It is a true saying that ono man may steal n. horse whilst another may not look over tho fence. Sir Julius Vogel seems to be able to bring down with applause and success measures which if proposed by his predecessors in office would havo been .stigin#liscd as a flagrant attempt at political corruption. What would the present ministerial press when in opposition have said about the Greymonth and Westport Harbor Bills, the District Railways Leasing and PurchasingBill, and last, not least, tho East and West Coasts Railway Bill ?"

Mr .James Lawrence, of Homewood, offers himself as a candidntc for tho representation of tho Patangata riding m the Waipawa County Council. His platform is the rescinding of the resolution Vf*f b ? the Council in 1878, which made. fund* raised in each riding to be spent m tho same The effect of the resolution has been to almost wreck county administration in Waipawa. At the R.M. Court Ormondville, yesterday, before Captain Preecc R.M., I ctei Ferees was charged with maliciously wounding -.mare by shooting it. This case was "Sou d from last Court day Bth m.stan . Mr Lascelles appeared for the accused. After hearing the evidence of four witnesses, accused was "committed for trial. Hail was allowed. The accused was liberated, on bail, the sureties being forthcoming, self in £100, and two sureties of £50 each.

The Caulfield Cup to be run to-day has now become in importance second only to the Melbourne Cup iv Australian racing. The club for years had a struggling existence, but from the day Mr Bond a wellknown sporting writer, was made secretary, the meetings became fashionable and successful, and now the junior threatens to contest the supremacy with the Y.R.C. The Caulfield Cup was instituted in 18/9, the distance being a mile and a half, but in the next two years the distance was reduced to a mile and a quarter and a distance only, hut in 1882 the old length was reverted to. The first winner was Newminster, the best two year old that ever ran iv Australia. Tom Kirk appropriated the second cup, thou«'h the Newmarket Handicap winner was a despised outsider. Then Blue Ribbon and Master Avenal scored. In ISB2, there were some very warm cattle engaged, the Geclong stable putting down the dollars warmly on that arrant rogue Mistaken, who was never once dangerous, but whose stable companion Little Jack, a diminutive pony sent to cut out the running, went to the front early stayed thero for threefourths of the way, and when the jockey i saw Mistaken could not win, he brought his | horse out of the ruck once more got to the front, and finished the mile and a halt in 2min. 4U sees., not a bad performance for a three year old in October. Last year the winner turned up iv Calma owned by the present owner of Lc Grand. Calma after his victory became " warm goods" for tho Melbourne Cup, but never once assumed a prominent place-in the race. To-day there are three warm favorites in Colstoun, Conjecture, and Vergy. The former we havo already written of. Conjecture is the sister of Guesswork and a maiden, having unfortunate been foaled a day or two early, and is being trained by young Wilson-thc son of the St. Alban's trainer. Vergy is a four year old—the winner of the Maiden Plate at the Autumn Meeting of the V.R.C. last March. (Since tho above was in type Conjecture has been "knocked out" in the betting-, and Fryingpan has once more come to the front.) Why be sick and ailing when Hop Bitter will surely cure you ?
