Further additions, are made to Messrs Gorton and Son's Bulls sale on Tuesday. - Mr J. G. Wilson informs us that the telephone to Shannon will be erected very soon after the session. In our telegram from Wellington, the amount on the Supplementary Estimates for an expert was mentioned as £1500, whereas it should have been £150. . .-■ Mr J. G. Wilson, noting our desire for him to address his constituents "at once, writes to say that after the arduous session, the hardest he has ever had, he must have a week or two to rest. This seems nothing more than fair. ' : The next English and European mail via Bio de Janiero will olose at the local Office on Tnesday, the 10th day of Octobet at 8 p.m. Paroel mail closes here on 1 Sunday at 5 p.m. There is no false delicacy about the New Zealand Times, even if there is no hesitation in making assertions. For cool impudence the concluding lines of the leader in Thursday's paper deserves recording, " Judged by aotions not words, the Government is the best friend the female franchise has ever had in New Zealand." Our contemporary need now only assert that the Premier, judged by his Licensing Bill', is the best friend Prohibitionists have ever had. One is quite as correct as the other. The Advocate says that the Hon. Walter Johnston is about to enlarge the house at Awahuri in which Mr T. Fraser used to reside, and utilise it as a summer residence. The barque Weatherstield has been chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Company to load for London. She will be placed on the berth as the first wool ship of the season.

Mr O. B> J»ard has withdrawn his can- , didature for the Otaki seat on account of ' his state of health. A meeting is convened for Monday next, at Whyte's Hotel, to consider the advisability of arranging for a performance on behalf of the Palmerston Hospital. A notice from Messrs Dudson Bros, respecting their horse " The Marquis " appears to-day. The Marquis who is only six years old is very fashionably bred, being by Remington out of the Knottingly rnai'e Tangle. He has proved himself a sure foal goiter his percentage last year being very great. The fee is only £2 10s. ! Next Tuesday afternoon the married men of the town will try conclusions with their single fir onclg at a game of Cl .i o k etl f "? '"I'icn will be played in Mr Stansell's ' and play will commence at 2.30. Mr McGuirts of the Te Aro House Branch, and Messrs McMillan, Rhodes & Co. have thoughtfully donated trophies for the highest scorers on each side, thus increasing a little interest in the game. It is to be hoped the local " knights of the willow " will muster strong on that day, as we understand the prises ai'e Well worth winning and some good sound cricket is looked forward to. Messrs Dudson Bros.' chestnut mare Elaine, Natator— Fides, has dropped a filly foal to The Marquis. A Custom House officer at one of the English ports was recently informed that his services would be dispensed with, as he was eighty years of age. With -a, freedom of action which would not be tolerated in an Australian colony, he sat down and wrote a letter to Mr Gladstone, pointing out that as he, at the age of eighty- three, was Premier of a great country, an official three years his junior might be not incapable of discharging far inferior duties. By return of post the writer received an intimation that he would be continued in his position. A man named Snook has left Sir Charles Dilke £170,000. Once more, says the Chris tchurch Truth, will W. T. Stead rage and furiously imagine a vain thing. , The criminal business concluded at Wanganui on Wednesday evening, when a verdict of " Not Guilty " was returned in the case against Dr E. H. Marshall for an alleged indecent assault on a young girl. ' The Wairarapa Star says :— Under the new Electoral Act Maories owning freehold property to the value of £25 are entitled to be enrolled with Europeans and vote for European members of the House of Representatives.

Several Masterton Natives have intimated their intention of having their names and those of their wives inserted on the European roll.

Duke of Devonshire, Matatua, Taiuui, and Kaikonra, which are now being opened up, and of which they propose making their first display in all departments on Thursday next, 14th inst, and following days, and respectfully invite the inspection of purchasers at the Bon Marohe, Palmerston North. — Advt.
