A good milker is wanted. Apply Herald Office for address. A respectable young man is wanted to look after stable and and garden. Must be able to milk. Apply to J. Haywood, Foxton. Mr Mark Perreau has been en gaged to do the catering at the opening of the ropeworks on Thursday afternoon next. Rimmer and Sons have secured the contract for removing and reerecting the Motoa residence of Mr F. S. Easton. The architecture is in the hands of Mr Rough. For some unaccountable reason, the Rondon Picture Company, who were billed to render a sacred concert at the Public Hall on Sunday night last, did not pirt in an appearance, and in consequence a large number of people returned to their homes disappointed after a fruitless walk to the Public Hall, which they found in total darkness. Neither did the Company materialise last night. If transpires that the party arrived in town on Sunday, but evidently possessed of the belief that the show epidemic Foxton is at present experiencing was against their chances of getting a payable house, they elected to seek fresh fields, and accordingly left at once for other parts.

Mr George Brough, of the Wai tara Hotel, advertises for a weekly supply of rabbits. A good kitchen table and dresser (large and nearly new) are advertised for sale. Apply Herald Office for address. A pair of gold-rimmed spectacles were lost last Sunday night between All Saints’ Church and Union-street Hast, and the owner advertises that a reward is offered the finder. Mr 0. E. Austin and party made a smart trip by motor from Wanganui on Saturday afternoon last, leaving the northern township at three in the afternoon, and arriving at Foxtou at 20 minutes past five o’clock.

Mr Edmund Montgomery and Co. appeared before a fair audience at the Public Hall on Saturday evening last, when a good programme of cinematograph pictures were exposed to view. Mr W. Montgomery received vociferous encores for his vocal efforts, while illustrated and humourous items by the other members of the company were well received. The High Commissioner cables; —“Hemp market is quiet but steady ; price of g.f.a.q. Wellington on spot is per ton ; business is being done in distant deliveries at same figure; stock on hand 869 tons, against 2859 tons for the corresponding period last year; fair current Manila on spot is per ton.” Arrangements are complete for the Sub-Union Ball to-morrow evening, and everything points to it being the success of the season. Mr John Stevens, M.H.R., will be present to open the affair, which should go with a swing. SubUnion members are requested to attend at the Public Hall to-mor-row afternoon, and so arrange that everything may be in apple-pie order for the evening, Ladies will have the use of the Public Hall dressing-rooms, while gents will please make use of the sample rooms, and utilise the front door for entrance purposes. Supper is in capable hands, also music, and nothing should be wanting to ensure success.

There was some plain talking at the football dinner on Saturday night, relative to the boundary question, Wanderer Club affair, and the proposal mooted of Foxton joining Horowheima Union. Mr Phipps (member of the Horowheuua Rugby Union) was very pointed in his remarks and firm in his contention that it would be alf for the good of Horowhenua and Foxton football if such an amalgamation did take place. But Mr Sutherland pointed out that, although there were evidently some old fossils on the Manawatu Rugby Union, still that did not justify his belief that it Would be advantageous to recede from connection with Manawatu Rugby football. We had not been treated as we should have been, but because the actions of the Manawatu Union had not been firm in all respects, and although Foxton had not been treated fairly, still he did not think it advantageous to Foxton football to join the Horowhenua body in preference to Manawatu. Foxton football would eventually gain more by keeping attached to the Manawatu body. The question of boundaries and the Wanderer Club difficulty had caused much trouble, but no doubt the whole affair would be finally settled at next annual general meeting of the N.Z. Rugby Union, when probably representatives would be present from the Foxton, Horowhenua and Manawatu bodies. He hoped that the dispute would not hinder the amicable relations existing at present between Foxton and Horowhenua, and he hoped for many more pleasant contests.
