The Wellington Cup is run this afternoon. Also Telegraph Handicap. The local business premises intend to close both race days from n a.m. At Dannevirke a man named Flowers was fined £s and costs for tickling trout. A good shower of rain fell at about 6 o’clock this morning, which considerably refreshed vegetation. Through collision with the watertrough in the Avenue, a big dray has placed same sorely in need of repair. The local cadet corps paraded under Captain Hamer last night. Blank cartridge shooting practise was indulged in. To morrow is King’s Accession Day, and special services will be held all over the Empire in the Anglican Churches. :: V ;: The Manawatu Herald will not be published on Tuesday next. A full and descriptive report of both days racing will appear on Thursday next. The Manawatu Racecourse Trustees are to meet at the Herald Office on Monday evening, at 8 p.rn., to receive the annual report and general business. Great interest was taken in the North v. South bowling match at Christchurch yesterday. Eight rinks played the Southerners, the South winning by 10 points. Quite a large crowd assemble each evening at the local railway station to witness the arrival of horses taking part at the local meeting. The bulk of the equines should arrive to-night. The Foxton Racing Club notify bookmakers, their clerks or agents, and all undesirable characters that they will not be admitted to the Foxton Racecourse on Monday and Tuesday next. Carlson did not appear at Palmerston Zealandia Hall on Thursday evening to wrestle Sandow, A iocalite, Andy Neilson, took Sandow on, but the latter just played with him, placing Neilson on his back at his own leisure. The Manawatu Standard and Manawatu Times are at it again “ hammer and tongs ” in connection with the lighting of the Municipal Opera House. Whether gas or electricity will be installed, does not at present seem certain.

Mr Lethbridge, M.H.R., and Mr Fred Pirani interviewed the Secretary for Education at Palmerston yesterday on Wanganui District matters. The schools at Oroua FJat, and at Raunai were urged. Other matters in connection with teachers were gone into. Palmerston North is the home of the " garrotter ” at present. No less than three different assaults were made on Thursday night. Detective Maddern is interesting himself in the matter, and yesterday morning arrested a young man named Angus Nicholson on charges of assault. It is stated that one of the allegations of irregularities in the Seddon-Taylor case is that a juryman, feeling aggrieved at being over-charged for income tax, and Mr Seddon’s refusal to interfere with the action of the Department in regard to the matter, made the remark in public : “ This is what I’ve been waiting for; I have got the b now.”

The Te Awaite Murder trial commenced at Wellington Magistrate’s Court yesterday, before Dr McArthur, S.M. All witnesses were ordered out of court. Mr T. M. Wilford, counsel for the accused, said he merely wished to watch the case. He did not propose to cross-examine. Dr Palmer, W. H. Tisdall (gunmaker), and Ross (who was with deceased when he was shot), gave evidence of a formal character. The case is still proceeding.

Dowie has paid up. Before he last went to Australia “ Elijah II,” promised his host ot Chicago creditors that he would make it all right with them. He has just paid the final instalment on on the 400,000d01. debt, which a year ago threatened to involve the Zion City in sensational bankruptcy proceedings. The American Press is asking Dowie whether he cannot be a gentleman and confide to Mrs Cassie Chadwick, the American Humbert, the secret of how to raise money rapidly,

Pearson and Co., of Manchester House, are closing up business in Foxton, and for that reason are conducting a clearing sale. There are some good bargains to be had. Glance at their advertisement on this page. There is a heavy flood at Bundaberg, Queensland, and a number of settlers had to be rescued in boats. At Rockhampton the wharves were covered by the flood. Much damage has been done to property. The latest reports state the floods are subsiding. A woman thirty-five years of age deserted her husband and four children at Gas City, Indiana, and eloped with Mr Archie Pierce, aged ninety, a Civil war veteran. She left a note saying that she could not live without the man she loved.

An old man living at Montrose, U.S.A., being warned by his doctors that he had only a few weeks to live) immediately gave instructions for his grave to Be dug and covered with boards to keep out the frost; He also selected his coffin and the pall bearers and chose a clergyman, Mr W. T. Wood, M.H.R., wired the Manawatu Standard as follows;—“ You will be pleased to hear that Trevor & Son’s tender for the Palmerston Post Office has beell accepted.’ 1 This itn formation, the Standard adds, will be gratifying td local residents; who now have a definite assflranee that the \Vork is to be proceeded with. Constable Forster, as bailiff, disposed of a gig at noon, yesterday, in the presence of a goodly number of prospective gig-buyer?; The vehicle was eventually knocked down to Mrs Rawiri at jfto.Jjs; On Wednesday hfe)tt Constable Forsteir will dispose of another gig in the same way, unless previously redeemed. At Pahiatua recently; Mr W; P. Janies, S.M., dismissed the case against a gentleman charged with being illegally on licensed premises. The accused had been invited by the landlord to have some supper after closing hours, and the Magistrate Was of the opinion that the law did not prevent it. A curious prophecy, now a century old, has been revived ia Poland by the success of the Japanese in the war with Russia. Mr Stead stumbled across it the other day when interviewing Mr Lutoslavski, the Well-known Polish author and patriot. In the words of this patriot, the prophecy was to the effect that Poland would come to life again when Russia had been defeated by a nation then unknown in Europe, and England would complete the task which the unknown nation, now easily identified as Japan, has already begun. We have been requested to draw attention to a matter of general import respecting a class of pictorial post cards now on sale within the colony. The cards under notice bear an intimation on the address side that the postage is “Id” and in consequence a large number of such cards are posted short paid with the result that the addresses are required to pay the surcharge. Booksellers and stationers having such cards for sale should warn purchasers of the proper charge.

With this issue we are enclosing an inset illustrating the bicycles for which Mr J. B. Clarkson, of Palmerston North, has the sole New Zealand agency. This firm ranks amongst the largest importers of cycles in New Zealand and is unique in being a one man business and therefore saving the high expenses necessary in Limited Liability companies. This, together with the fact that these bicycles are shipped from factories to this firm and not through any middlemen affords them the opportunity of giving the public better value for money than any cycle company in New Zealand. Correspondence with any of their Depots or numerous agencies will amply repay ladies or gentleman who may be thinking of purchasing cycles.

A fatal accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon at Napier resulting in the death of Miss Unice Plowman, a young lady about 23 year of age, the only daughter of M r W. Plowman, of the firm of W. Plowman and Son, cordial and spice manufacturers. Miss Plowman, who lived with her parents on the Colenso Hill, had gone to a well in the grounds for a bucket of water, returning with it to the house. She had then apparently returned for more water, for when called for lunch sometime later, she was missing, and her body was found floating on the top of the water, with the overturned bucket lying on the edge of the well. It is not known how the accident happened but it is surmised that the well was partly uncovered and Miss Plowman may have tripped on the kerbing round the well and fallen in, probably striking her head against the side in doing so, as no outcry was heard. All efforts at resuscitation were unsuccess iul.
