fbe Waipiro Hospital Trustees are to be congratulated on having secured the services of Miss Marfel as matron. This lady has had extensive experience in England, and for some months past has been resident in Auckland district, and is spoken of very highly. At the Gisborne Tennis Club’s courts on Saturday a presentation in the shape of a pair of silver brushes and comb was made to Miss W. Adair, in recognition of her attention in dispensing afternoon tea during the season. On Saturday night the whole of the local railway staff and representatives from the Public Works Department assembled at tlie Gisborne railway station to present the retiring stationmaster (Mr. Wcllsted) with a memento of their regard, which took the shape of a beautiful' gold albert and pendant suitably inscribed. Speeches wore made by Messrs Chittendon, Hosio, Dompliy, Marshall, and others eulogising tlie good qualities of Mr. Wellsted. Mr. Wcllsted having suitably replied, an adjournment was made to a private room at tho Masonic Hotel, where speeches were again indulged in, intersperced with songs and recitations. After spending a most enjoyable evening cheers were given for Mr. Wellsted and family, and many hearty good wishes expressed for their future welfare.
