Mr 'I ripe will visit Foxton on Thursday ne t week remaining till Saturday. Shearing haa commenced in earnest in the Sandon district, three of the County Councillors being delayed in their attendance at the Council from that cause. Vl r F. Robinson did not put in an appearance at all, and leave was granted him. He commenced shearing on Monday. Messrs Saxon and Hammond are also shearing but arrived at the Council the first just before dinner, the latter just after. We find that in spite of the bad weather the lambing has been very good in the Sandon and Carnarvon districts. On the Carnarvon estate over -100 per cent have been docked, on the Oroua Downs some 85 ppr cent, and 110 per cent by Mr F. Robinson. On the Motoa estate the percentage was 85, on the Himatangi 95 per cent. Messrs Greatrex & Co., announce that having sold the saddlery business which they carried on under the name of W. L. Coe, to Mr Little, they request all accounts owing to them to be paid to him, and his receipt will be sufficient. The manager of the Union Clothing and Mercery Company arrived yesterday by the Queen of tbe South with a large tonnage of gooda for the branch they are about opening in town. The manager asks ns to state that he will have the store open on Saturday as already announced. Mrs McKay has taken the Temperance hotel, next the bank of New Zealand and having given it a thorough renovation, has opened it as a boarding house. She has an advertisement elsewhere. We are glad to learn that a lot, of wool will come via Foxton this year. Mr Saxon has determined to send his clip this way. The Brandon all wool will also come by the tram to Foxton, as well as many other large Rangitikei clips. A boy is wanted at once at the Union Clothing and Mercery Company's store. It ia really very bad, but we can't help it. However, the riddle is not ours. Ft is this : Why is Lord, the artesian well sinker, the best tempered man in the town ? Give it up? Why because it takes six men to get his monkey up. Pray forgive Four members of Parliament, Messrs Tanner, T. Thompson, Lawryand Jackson Palmer, who had voted for the Bill which increased their own pay from £150 to £240 a year, had the meanness to vote against the gratuity of £3000 to Lady Atkinson They were the only objectors, but they were four more than there should have been. A poll was taken at Napier on Monday on the question of raising another £200,000 to complete th« breakwater harbour under the Harbour Board's new Act. The absentee non-voters did not connt against the loan, so no special eforts were made to get a hoavy poll, but 1987 votes were re oord«d in favour of the loan and only 130 against it in the principal polling places To day Mr J. R. McMillan publishes his consent to his nomination to the office of Mayor. He bas evidently the support of a large number of the burgesses. We find that a requisition is being signed asking Mr Nye to allow himself to be nominated for a second term, as Mayor. Messrs Parber Bros announce that the well known entire Fisherman, and the Shetland pony, Tom Thumb will be at tbe service of breeders at the Himitangi station. At the Napier Park races on Tuesday, Worth won the Trial Hurdles, Rebellion the Criterian Stakes and Park Stakes, Mars the Sanling Ptakps, Aome the Wiu-lle Face and Heather Bell the Railway Handicap. The weather was cold and rainy, the finishes close and the attendance large. For the second days racing the weather was beautifully fine. Worth won the Second Trial Hurdles, Samoa the Caledonian Handicap, Wy vern the Racing Club Handicap, Musketeer the Telephone Handicap, Kaimanawa the Second Hurdle Handicap. Zanella the Juvenile handicap, and St Malo the Grand Stand Handicap. Mr H. D. Bell, after further consideration, has finally decided not to stand again for the Welling'on Mayoralty, and Mr John Duthie will, therefore, become a candidate for the offleo*

A number of men on strike are dissatisfied with the conduct of strike affairs and have. formed a new new uuion with the objact of bringing the present trouble to a termination. Mr H. S. Fish, M.H.R., was met on the arrival of the train at Dunedin by a very large crowd. His friends raised cheers, hut these wpre soon drowned by a hostile demonstration, and the crowd followed the drag whioh wag ftwa ti g Him, to the hotel, where there was further Cheering ,and hooting. Mr Fish attempted to address the crowd from ihe w indow, but as overripe eggs soon commenced to fly about, he retired. His friends then presented him with an address of we come, and in reply he justified his actions in Parliament at some length Admiral Lord Charles Scott ib commitnicating with Queensland and Western Australia urging them to connect their telegraph systems with those of the other colonies and thus ma'-e tha circuit of Australia effective against danger from hostile fleets.
