Acceptances for the Fox'on Cycling Club sports to be held on St. Patrick's Day close at 9 p.m. to-night, with the hon. secretary, Mr C. T. Austin. In another column appears the programme of the concert and entertainment to be held on the evening of the 17th inst. (Sr. Patrick* Day.)

Messrs Abraham and Williams hold a stock pale at Shannon on Friday. Whist taking a spin round the cycling track in Victoria Park the other morning Messrs Bfty and A. Osborne collided and "bit the earth," which was not so appttising or pi "R satit as their breakfasts. No bones broken though skin was rather reck'ess'y disposed of.

Governments doing a little bargaining. The Turkish Government recently promised that when it received the Greek war indemnity loan it would transfer a million to Russia in part payment of the outstanding amount of the Russian war indemnity. Turkey now offers half a million instead, and the Russian Ambassador, M, Zinovieff, expresses his willingness to accept threequarters. In the course of an article on the Wellington election the N.Z. Times says :— " It cannot be denied that the result of this election is adverse to the Government in a peculiar and pregnant respect. Ministers staked all on this contest, and challenged a fair fight on a straight issue. They hud that fair fight and were beaten."

N >es, will make a start with the bridge in a day or two. Thursday's Post says "Yesterday's victory indicates a revolt against the dishonor of being governed by force and fraud."

The regular monthly meeting of th* Wanganui Education Board will be held on Monday next. An exchange says: That little native bird so commonly known as the 'whifr=eye,' i 3 becoming more and more partial to the acclimatised fruits brought from Europe.
