Manawatu Racing Club have decided to construct a private railway to the course at a cost of £4OOO. Mr F. Easton informs us that his breeding ewes have commenced lambing on his estate at Moutoa. If this cold wet weather continues we are afraid his loss will be great. Messrs Cummerfield & Spring, of the Beehive Stores, being now fully stocked intend for one month only, offering special inducements to all their cash customers by allowing them five per cent off all purchases over 10s. They have just received their new season’s seeds. The firm are noted for keeping the best brands of goods. The Masonic ball which is to take place in the Public Hall on the 20th inst. is being looked forward to with pleasure by young and old in this district, and which, no doubt, will be the event of the year. Messrs Langley Bros, have been entrusted with the catering, and their name is a sufficient guarantee that only a first-class supper will be laid. A band of four instruments have been engaged from Palmerston, so that good music can be depended upon. Tickets may be obtained from the following brethren: — A. D. Clemett, A, Fraser, G. A. Simpson and T. Haywood.

Sir A. Ji Cadman has been elected Speaker of the legislative Council. Mr Lethbridge has charge of a Bill enabling the Governor to declare any area a town.district. J. W. Anderson was brought before Mr A. Fraser, J.P., this morning and charged with the theft of several articles from the schooner Magic. He was remanded, and admitted to bail. Yesterday morning before Messrs Simpson and Fraser, J.’s P., Jamee Wilson was charged with drunkenness He was convicted and discharged, and a prohibition order was also issued against him. The Mangaweka Settler states thai commercial travellers and other persons who travel to Taihape occasional!) make a practice of dodging coach fares by getting a ride in the ballast train “ to see the line.” The business of the Council las! night became somewhat breezy on several occasions, but the MayorV threat to call a councillor to ordm had the desired effect of allowing the affairs to proceed. So far four candidates have officially announced themselves for the Pahiatua seat, namely. J. S. Williams (Liberal), D. Crewe (Liberal), S. Bolton (Opposition), W. H. Hawkins (Indepen dent), but there is a probability of several others corning forward to contest the seat. When a settler in the North-west Territory wants to go to Ontario to be married, the Canadian Pacific railwaysells him a matrimonial ticket at the usual fate, and, on presenting the return coupon and a marriage certificate, he is entitled to free transport for his bride.

Owing to the incessant rain experienced at Taihape, work in connection with the Main Trunk line has been considerably delayed, and reports to that effect have been received by the Public Works Department. It is now estimafed that the line into Taihape cannot be completed for working purposes under at least a month. The Public Works Department received the following tenders for the erection of the Otaki Post Office : Accepted—A. Cooper and Son, Wellington, £1863. Declined—W. Pringle, Levin, £1879; Douglas and Whitaker, Levin, £1950; G. Connon, Wellington, /2068; R. A. Wakelin. Wellington, £2483. An Eketahuna resident received a Swedish paper by the last ’Frisco mail. This contains a telegram from St. Petersburg, stating that some students in that city had wired the Emperor of Japan, congratulating him on his successes. The Emperor acknowledged the wire with the cute sentence : “ Thank heaven I have no subjects like you !” A little girl named Josephine M’Cahill, having been missing from her home in New York for 11 days, it was supposed that she had been kidnapped, and a reward of 4000 dol for information of her whereabouts was offered by the parents. A few days afterwards her body was found in the chimney at her father’s house. It is supposed she fell down the chimney while playing on the roof and was starved to death. A distressing accident occurred at Thann, in Alsace, recently. While a funeral procession was passing to the cathedral an automobile dashed among the mourners, and an eight-year old boy was knocked down and crushed to death. The lad’s father, in attempting to rescue his son, was run over and had both his arms broken. A perfect panic ensued. People scattered wildly in all directions, and 10 persons were injured more or less severely. Police intervention was needed to protect the driver ot the automobile from the infuriated crowd, who made a desperate attempt to execute their threat to lynch him. The Council decided last night to call for tenders for carrying out the proposed improvements to the cycle track in Victoria Park. The plan of the work .was submitted to the Council, but as it was understood a slight alteration was necessary, the adoption of the plan and specifications was not made. It was decided to request the Athletic Club to send in an amended plan. The track, according to the wish of the Club, is to be 20ft. wide all round, and banked at both ends with asphalt. A councillor remarked at the table that the work should be well done, and to' the satisfaction of (he Club, as otherwise the Council would later on be again asked to remedy any defects. During the Isle of Man motor-car trials four houses in Douglas were rob» bed in the absence of their occupants. Four Englishmen Were arrested and sentenced as suspects—three to two months’ and one to a fortnight’s imprisonment. The latter, who gave his name as Alfred Johnson Wallace, refused his address on the plea that he was anxious not to distress his aged father, a plea that influenced the magistrate to pass a lighter sentence. This burglar’s finger-prints were forwarded to England, with the result that a report returned discloses previous convictions against him in Brighton, Leeds, and Knutsforcl. Wallace then admitted his identity. At a registry office not a thousand miles from Gisborne the startling fact was discovered recently that two parties had been married on two different occasions at the same office. The first time the couple took out a license was some 30 years ago. Twenty-five years later the records show that they were duly hitched up again by a different registrar. Enquiries made elicited the information that on the second occasion the husband sought the registrar then in charge of the office and stated that they had been living together out of wedlock fora number of years and had decided that it was best that they should go through the form of marriage. The registrar of course endorsed the very proper proposal, and the second union was then made. The only explanation offered for this double marriage was that tue absent-minded pair had forgotten their first experience at the hymeneal altar and had thought they had never been married. As far as can be learned there was no other reason for the second marriage.

In the street widening going on in the Minories, London, an old building a little to the west of'the Mint, which is of interest to Churchmen, is being pulled down. A chiselled slab states that it belonged to the parish of St. Rotolph, ‘ Aldgate, and was the first Protestant parish school, having been erected by voluntary subscription in 1793. It has now entirely disappeared, with the many other relics of by-gone London which the busy hands of the improver have recently effaced. A councillor brought up the question of the overseer of the Borough carrying out unauthorised work last night, mentioning the fascining and making of a road to the gravel-pit. The councillor spoke very strongly on the matter, which he deemed as unneces sary expenditure, ’ which would cost from £lO to £l2. While on the subject the overseer was also brought to task for cutting trees out of the old Maori Cemetery, when the telegraph wires and poles were smashed. The Mayor quite agreed with the remarks of the previous speakers that only properly authorised work should be car ried out, and for which object the Public Works Committee was constituted,
