Manawatu Herald SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1898.

It has b e:i d cided ihat the law is to take i>s course in the cse of Philpolt and the date of h : s ex eution will soon be mndo knosvu. A luncheon booth on the Sandon course was of primitive construe ion, for it had no roof, a^d the public could be viewed eating th"ir luncheon in a heavy shower cf rain which filled their plates with water. Jo ly! We understand that it is the intention of tho Mayor to move his family down to bi« farm at Te Horo. Suoh a departure will be a loss to the town, both socially and in numbers. The Borough Council meets on Monloy night to acoept tenders. Mr W. Stackwood showed himself both a very fast and a very plucky bicycle rider at the last Sports, for after having won two events, and the handicappers had clapped a very big penalty upon him for the four mile event, he slarted, much against his own judgement, for the sport, and made an extremely plucky run for the money, but though exerting himself to the utmost, was not placed. On the doors of the Temperance Hall was announced the fact that the Bey. Mr Woodward intended giving an entertainment last Monday evpning. He had so intended, but having recently hud his arm broken he found coach travelling too shaky and has postponed it to some early date . which will be duly announced. One of the features of the concert on Thursday was the quiet behaviour of the audience. This is becoming characteristic of our concerts, but there were at tbe concert about half a dozen big larri' ins who very much wanted to hoot and stamp and behave generally in an idiotic way, but the presence of cqn.iable Salmon had a very soothing effect on these would bs disturbers of the pence. We congratulate the cons table on his quiet powers of persuasion. If ther* is one thing more than any other that disturbs the peace of the headmaster of the State School it i- a poor attendance, and co muoh the more especially as the examination draws nigh. Yesterday on some of the members of the Com mittee visiting the school, Mr Stewart drew attention to the unfortunate effeot of Thursday's Sports, and to the purpose be sated — behold ou v ual Fridays' our averngo is 216 to day we have only 193 I *♦ Pity the sorrows &c ! Mr Donald Grant has informed the Standard that he will be a Candida' e for the Palmerston seat. We wonder how he will be supported by the members of the Manawatu Boad Board, the income of which has been, at times, muoh diminished by his successful claims for damages. The Sandon tram was well patronised on Thursday. Our Dutch cousins in the Transvaal have been good enough to avree to take advantage of any British complication elsewhere to renounce the suzerainty. How very wise of them to wait till then. Owing to the little depth of water in the Wanganui river the smallest steamer of the fleet now does the ran to Pipiriki. She only draws eleven inches of water. The manufacturer of the jokes at the Christy portion of th° concert was a little out in the habit of fishes as the question and answer will show — " When is the Foxton Court House like a pond ?" " When it has a Salmon in it ?" And this after all that ha* been written on tbe habits of the Salmon. The Wellington Benevolent Trustees have outrageous^ stopped the charitable aid to a woman simpiy because it was found she was learning to ride a bicycle at a cot of five shil-ings a week. This industrious person should leave the town wbere cycling is iv such disrepute and remove to Foxton, when the pleasure of administering such aid as the fair cyolien might desire wou'd wiliing'y be granted by the members of our Borough Counoil for are they not all — or nearly all — cycling enthusiasts ? Waitara is to be congratulated on the establishment of a paper in the town. On Monday the Mail, a tri.weekly raper madits first appearance and should be of va'ue im advocating the improvement of the port and the advancement of the town. The paper is double-demi and is well printed and edited, and bears the appearance of being properly supported by the business people. We wish our contemporary every success. The Post says Messrs. Abraham & Williams h>d a fair attendance .at their sab' of the property in the pstate of the lat? Mr A. P. Stuart, including buyers from ibe country, but apparently more inteni on doing business privately than by auction For the run an offer of £10,000 was obtained, but no further offer being available it was passed in. A great number of buyers were unable to attend the sale, and the auctioneers expect to quit the whole of jhe properties offered by private sale. Bemaikable demonstrations of feeling towards Great Britain are general in the United States. "God Save the Queen" has been sung in many of the New York theatres. The New York correspondent of ihe Times states that the words of peace are oftenest heard from men known to be h mongat President McKinley's trusted ad - \iseis. The social given to the visitors from Otaki las night who have arrived to play a tennis matoh with the local club passed off most pleasantly. The results so far of the tennis matoh are: — Mr Hamer, 40 (Foxton), beat Mr Fobs 37 (Oaki) ; Mrs Stewirt.,3o (Foxton). beat Miss Simcox 19, (Otaki). Mr Clark 80 (Otaki), beat Mr tamo 24 (Otaki).
