Mv Jones appeared at the bazaar yesterday evening, and expressed his surprise at the opening having taken place in the afternoon, ft appears strange that any such mistake could have occurred. At the meeting of the Foxton Racing Club Committee last night, the grogramme for the summer meeting was finally passed and ordered to be printed. The advertisement appears to-day. The Town Clerk warns all ratepayers to settle before the end of the month, to save legal proceedings. In the grocery department of Messrs McMillan Rhodes & Co. store raav be seen a very handsome show case, that is a very great credit to the maker, Mr Andrew Jonson. The case measures nearly three feet square and stands 8 feet high. It is made in black with gold headings and has glass . on three sides. The, shelves are covered with black velvet. The firm intend exhibiting their plated ware and nicknacks suitable for Christmas presents in it. By some oversight no arrangement had been made with the Tram to delay its hour of departure from Foxton yesterday, and therefore some visitors who came in by it, had hardly an hour's visit to the baxaar. This is to be regretted, as at other bazaars, the tram did not leave till five o'clock. . Messrs Robinson at Herrington have finished shearing, as also have the Messrs J. H. Robinson and Gower, We are informed that >tilr Boston «f Carnarvon cut an average 9lbs 6ozs off his flock. ■ A case of alleged horsestealing has been reported last night to the police.

It is s%id that in order to -prevent the breaking up of the Sylvia Park stud, at Auckland, Major George has offered to pay one-fifth of the £17,000 required to pay the Company's as ets, if four others will join him on similar terms ; or he will supply £2,000 if four others each contribute a similar atno nt. leaving the public to supply the remainder. The Evening Pres* says :— A similar disturbance as the reat strike, with demands I for Parliamentary interference might take place, and probably wou d take place, dur- ) ing next session if a majority of Labour candidates were returned to the House. These members would then be in the position of either, obeying. the demands of their t peculiar constituents, or [resigning their seats, on the princip e of the matter, and in view of the threats of the Labour Party as to the manner in which they would use political power, the law-abiding electors muit vote against any Labor candidates at the election. It is decidedly dangerous to give them any power until they know better how to use it.
