The general meeting of the Foxton Racing Club is fixed for Saturday, the 20th instant. To-morrow night, at the Public Hall, the Ellis Brothers give a boxing exhibition. There should be a good house, as there will be a tussle for the £10 stake. The manager of the Ready Money store is not going to be beaten in drapery, without, at any rate, making a good effort. Today he issues a list of bargains which should attract attention. Messrs Jenkins and Co are hard at work transforming a portion of the old tram sheds into a neat retail store. The Horowhenua County Council are calling tenders for bush falling in two contracts. Tenders must be in by to-morrow at 11.30 a.m. at the County Office, Otaki. Over the leader appears a notice most interesting to our lady readers, though the gentlemen have not been overlooked. L;,dies, however, always take the most interest in the notices issued by drapers. To-morrow, the old tram sheds, which for so long have been an eyesore to the town, will be opened as a drapery and clothing store by Mr Gerrand, who is the representative of the executors of the late Thomas Short, of Auckland. It is asserted by the firm that they are the largest and oldest firm doing business in the Auckland district, and arc now carrying on business at Auckland and Grahamstown. The stock should, therefore, be large and well assorted and worth a visit, when an inspection will probably lead to purchases, as the prices are stated to be " fabulously low." We hope they are, and the question will be easily determined, as the distriot has had a little experience lately in the drapery line, and are better up in values than they were before. An inset with this issue gives much information.

M. E. Porter & Co book importers of Wellington hay eappointed Mr G. Donaldson their agent in this district. He has now for sale a new work that is issu d by the Well known firm of London publishers, W rd Lock & Co.entitled " The World's inhabitants, or Mankind, Animals and plants.', The sample of the work left with us, shows the outside appearence will not be out of keeping with the contents, as it is very fltep^v bound in red morroco, and embossed" wito designs in gold. The work ha* been estweltlly Resigned for theresideflfe of Australasia by tbe * ath ° r « <*• T ,; Betftfflj 1 , Utemitatot " Eminent la^* 0 * 8 ' and <>A 1A(e : at Charles Darwin/ The t£*t fsr tflHiti rind 1 gott!,- &M the book is lightened iwJthl mtetfy f ull page arfgraviuga, and huridteeW erf flWstratiom id the text. The leading Unglisti papers write very highly of the work. The Lottddri Times writes— " Besides being exceedingly rea'dible' it every page, the book is also a valuable work' « reference." The Aberdeen Free Press states— ** Tbfere is in it quite a mine of information, and it it well put together." Thus it will be seen the wotfc is one well worth possessing, and we expect that Mr Donaldson will quickly fill up his list of subscribers. The continuous rain hflfl acted against the business of the Hemp-millers. Owing to the difficulty of drying the fibre, some of the mills Knocked off work for a few days. A breeze sprung up yesterday, which Should help them, as a* little wind soon dries, wlleil Ihe' fibre is hang on vrirea. There is clothing like advertising. Tbe Wellington Tweed Company had a" standing advertiseiriertt with us a few months ago 1 , btit withdrew it for a 1 few weeks. It, however, appears again today, the' Company finding that the use of our column's", in assisting their traveller, is worth far more (Htfo it costs. There are one or two of our older supporters who are trying reductions, but we feel sure that this sort of economy will be found most mistaken in the end. Theve will be Mass next Sunday at St. Mary's Church, Foxton, at 8 and 11 a.m., and at 6.30 p.tti. KEATING'S COUGH LOUNGER'S cur 9 Coughs, Asthma, Bronchitis.
