A meeting of the Borough Council will be held this evening at the Town Hall. Mr Alexander Foldi, of Dillman’s Town, was unanimously elected Chairman of the Arahura Road Board yesterday, vice R. .1. Seddon, Esq., resigned. The proceedings are reported more fully elsewhere.

Just at the time of our going to press the Christchurch coach arrived, catching the 3.30 tram. It had been telegraphed as passing the Bealey yesterday morning with two passengers and four bags of mails. J. Mackay, Esq., R. M., was a passenger for Greymouth. Sir George Grey having addressed a public meeting at Auckland on Tuesday last, as we previously predicted Mr R. C. Reid, M. H.R. immediately follows in the footsteps of “the man who descended from the pinacle of fame” by announcing that he will also address his constituents on Saturday.

The exhibits for the Oriental Exhibition arrived Safely in town this afternoon, and the exhibition will be open to the public at seven o’clock this evening. As at present we have only been enabled to make a cursory inspection of the various articles we cannot speak of them in detail, but, from the hasty glance afforded to us we can unhesitatingly say that the exhibition is one well worthy of public patronage more especially as a mlmber of the articles exhibited are rendered peculiarly interesting from their historic associations with places and events mentioned in Holy Scripture.

At a meeting of the Building Committee of the Board of Education, held last evening, the tender of Duncan M‘Gregor of Hokitika, being the lowest, was accepted, for additions to the Kumara School.
