The Racing Club Committee held a meeting on Thursday evening and accepted the tender of Mr James Andrews as caretaker of-the course. It was decided to build a neat fourroomed cottage near the entrance gates. In a shop window in town three or four handsome trophies are displayed for the shooting competition, the one presented by Mr George Coley being particularly handsome. The Railway Department notifies *hat holiday excursion tickets will be >?ncd to all station? Irom the 25th larch to the 31st March, available for return till 29th April. The Tennis Club is having their courts put into good order by a competent man. It is rather late in the season, but in this case it is better late than never. We find by the report of the proceedings of the Borough Council that the ratepayers paid for the lunch to Sir Joseph Ward and not the Mayor, as previously reported. The old St. Hill street sale yards at Wanganui have been abandoned, Messrs Freeman Jackson & Co. having erected new yards near the gas works, where sales in future will be held. Mr J. Pascal, of Awahuri, has left the colony on a visit to France, where Mr Claude Pascal is residing. The polo tournament commences on Tuesday at Palmerston. Owing to Captain Hunter removing to Feilding he has tendered his resignation as captain of the Foxton Rifles to the Government. The other day a large mob of fat sheep went away by the s.a. Himatangi to Picton, to be frozen there for a Wellington company. There appears a need for a freezing works at the mouth of our river.

Mr Rickard has opened a chemist shop in the premises lately occupied by Mr Sutton. We understand that ha works in accoid with Dr. Graham, and should therefore do very well. Mr England, of the Bank ot New Zealand, is away for his holidays, and Mr Hoskings, from Wellington, is relieving him. It is six years since the latter gentleman relieved at this branch of the bank, and the position of the accounts strikes him as indicative of very much increased prosperity. The photographs of the Foxton Rifles and Foxton Band have arrived, and are on view in Mr Alf Fraser’s window. The Foxton Rifles intend holding a handicap rifle competition on the local range on St. Patrick’s Day, commencing at 10 a.m., when all members of the corps will be eligible to fire who have paid entrance fees and are nominated before 9 a.m. on the morning of the competition. We have no doubt that a goodly number of those interested in local volunteering and rifle shooting will be on the range, as th® rlavisa holiday, and nothing of an i.v ~..t.a .. iw!i i./c takh-g p,.;CC 1U the town. ,

Messrs T. Westwood & Co. have an interesting notice in their usual space to-day relating to the famous “Defiance” brand of butter, for which the firm are the local agents. The Mayor invites the residents to observe Monday, being St. Patrick’s Day, as a holiday, which most probably they will. The new hotel “ Foster’s ” is now the best in Wanganui, and is a large and very comfortable hostelry. The' rooms are large and high, and furnished in accordance with the building. Electric light is supplied throughout the night by a plant on the premises. The purest of drinking water is supplied by an artesian well on the land. The cooking is excellent, and Mr and Mrs Foster attend to their guests as carefully as in the past. At a public meeting held at Feilding on Wednesday night a committee was formed to canvass the town for signatures to the testimonial to MrSedlon. A canvasser was engaged to visit houses outside the centre of the town. The N.Z. Times says: —Many people will regret to learn that the negotiations for the purchase by the Government of the Weilington-Manawatu Railway Company’s property are practically at au end.
