The second annual boat-race between the principal crews of the O'taga and Canterbury Rowing Clubs will take place on the 'faieri River, near Henley, on Wednesday, the 23rd inst. The Course near the Taieri Bridge is one of the finest roaches in New Zealand for rowing purposes. A special train will doubtless be engaged for the 23rd, as the Otago Club ohly require to issue 90 tickets for the guarantee. Many lovers of acqhalics will arrange to witness the contest. Dr Roberts and Mr L. M. Ollivier are the respective captains of the Otago and Canterbury crews. Why do summer roses fade 1 sang a youth at a concert the other night. We don’t know why they they fade ; but we do know that the photos taken hy the Ferro-Photo Company will never fade. So don’t delay if you want a really good 'cheap portrait! but go at once to the 'gallery as they close on Monday next, 21st inst.— [Advt.] In receiving a deputation of noblemen and gentlemen from the County of Tyrone, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland said—- “ When assenting to receive the deputation, I made one stipulation, which I must always make in future when about to receive a deputation of any sort—namely, that it must be public, and reporters present. I mention tins, inasmuch as a short time ago, at the request of some gentlemen who attended as a deputation, we dispensed with the presence of reporters, and the result was that what I said was very much misrepresented, and distorted versions got abroad which were very disagreeable to me, and might bear bad results.” * Fondly he gazed into the liquid depths of her bright blue eyes as she murmered—“ Oh, John ! do let us go to the Ferro-Photo Company, and have some of those beautiful gems’! They leave here on Monday next, and we may never get the chance again.” —[Advt.]
