Last night the members of the Foxton Brass Band and some friends entertained Mr N. J. Waters at the residence of Mr and Mrs Keen. Mr Waters is moving to Danevirke and the purpose of the pleasant gathering was to wish him good-bye. Mr J. VVallß provided the refreshments and after they had been discussed the evening was passed in playing musical selections, and singing songs and giving recitations. Mr T. Betty proposed the health of Mr Waters which was received with musical honors, and in replying Mr Waters in a neat speech thanked the company for their kindness to him and trusted he might soon return to where he had passed .so many pleasant months. The re-union did not disperse till the small hours of the morning had appeared.

The Secretary of the Australian Methodist Missions has received intelligence from New Britain that serious fighting has taken place on the island. The chief announced that he had discovered a charm rendering its wearerg bullet proof, and large numbers of the natives bought the charms, and then banded together to destroy the Government and the settlement of Herbertsloh. Nearly a thousand natives waited for attack, but the Go vernment officials decided to attack first and four engagements ensued at short intervals. About forty natives were killed, whilst the Government lost only one man— a native policeman. When the mail left, the natives were preparing to continue the fight. In the last engagement the Government men were in a dangerous position, being for some time completely surrounded. One unpleasant incident of the second day of the Wellington Bace Meeting has to be recorded says the Times. In the Hurdle Bace the jockey Adam MoMorran, who road Unity, the favourite, fancied his horse was in some way interfered with by Mr DriscoH'6 Jacob, who was ridden by A. Mayne, and, losing his temper, struck that jockey a heavy blow on the side of the head with his whip. The lad was bleeding when he dismounted, and was found to have received severe injury. The stewards held an enquiry into the affair, and, having heard several witnesses' evidence, passed a i resolution that the jockey Adam McMorran be disqualified for life, and warned off every course in New Zealand, and that his licenses as a trainer and jockey b.e cancelled. The cowardly assault roused public indignation, and the decision of the stewards met with general approval. A meeting of Mr J. G. Wilson's committee is called for to-morrow evening. Ladies are invited to attend.
