A cake that might have won a prize at the show yesterday met with mishap. It was cooked to a turn, and then put to cool in the house porch, where i'ido found it.

A grave error was nearly committed in connection with a wedding that was solemnised not .1.00 miles from Gisborne (says an exchange). The officiating clergyman arrived at the church about the same time as the bride, who was escorted down the aisle and took her place heside, not her intended husband, hut tTfe best man. The minister appeared and commenced the solemn service. Grasping the sit nation, the bridegroom quickly took up his rightful position, and there was an audible titter amongst the audience during the pause which was occasioned in making assurance doubly suue that the right man occupied, the honoured position this time, and a fresh start was made with the ceremony.

From the House of Ucpresentatives, an observer within the circle writes The Chronicle concerning various matters political. "The talk about dissolution (he writes) is all bluff, I think: but a great many of Massey's friends, I know, are pressing him to appeal to the country. They think they arcin a good position to win now, with the strike on. Their chances probably would be better now than six months hence, but I don t think they will sweep the country as they seem to think they will. The atmosphere of 'the House of Representatives at present is decidedly sultry. There will be a jolly big row soon, as feeling is simmering all round : the Government members are exasperated, and so far as the tactical part of the fight is concerned TS T gata (the Opposition's whip) has outgeneralled the Government every time, and this has not improved their tempers.
