Mu Williams, who was ill and left Gisborne on leave, has been transferred to the Christchurch telegraph staff. Archdeacon Devoy, of Wellington, and Dean Carew, of Greymouth, who were passengers by the 'Frisco steamer, passed through Gisborne yesterday. Mr W. L. liees ieft Gisborne last night for Wellington, where lie will see what can be done in the matter of native land legislation. Mr J. G. Gow, Government trade representative, has completed work in Hawke's Bay district, and left for Auckland by the Waihora last evening. He passes through Gisborne to-day. A great crowd gathered at the wharf last night, members of the Salvation Army being in strong'force, under command of Captain Sharp. Ensign and Mrs Hill, who were so much esteemed in Gisborne, were leaving for Napier, and they were given a most cheering farewell by their comrades in the good work of the Army. As the boat moved off there were many cries of *■ Hallelujah " and such tokens of kindly regard, the Army band playing and other members singing. Those on the launch were charmed with the pretty effect as the Army gathered at the Point, which was lighted up with the flares, and the band could be heard playing "I Will Believe " until the steamer had carried her passengers out of hearing.
