It was to regulate the affairs of 'the County -Council that /Mr Beatty was appointed ; not the '• Borough •Council," as printed. Also, it should have been •' Brown's "—and not " Roe's "—Hotel at which the little episode with the Native, ; Rangitoto, occurred. Several oS the- most prominent residents m the town are making endeavors to form a Cricket Club, and, we are glad to learn, with every prospect of success. Mr Nathan the proprietor of the large piece -of ground beside Dhr.

C.;jL football rnaf oh, Wangariui y. Feilding, f was playe^^ni&turdaj, upon the ground fofithe, former* i'.l- With somewhat questionable courtesy, the Wanganui men allowed ,their visitors not only to arrive at "the Station without a reception, but also to find their way to the field, some time haying elapsed before the captain and . local team were seen upon the ground. Wanganui won the to3S, and »3 there was a strong wind blowing, of oourse elected to kick with it. From the first it was evident that the Eeilding men were qverweigh^nofc only m the matter of strength, but m play, the Wanganuites passing the ball .from one to another m a manner which evidenced careful practice. Feilding also labored, under the disadvantage that it was minus two of the best players m the team— Saunderson and Paulr- still they played an up-hill and plucky game. Their efforts, however, were futile, for although they prevented their adversaries from kicking a goal, tney could not keep them from scoring fifteen .points to nothing. The yellow ana black had threS- " tries,'* 'but although one was.it comparatively easy one, the captain {[Montgomery) mulled it badly, and both umpires declared it a " poster.'* For WangaVui the men who came most prominently to the front ware, Jackson; Holdich, Sharland, and Turner;: and! on the side of the visitors, .-Samson, j Roe, Jackson,, 'and W^heehMP^, JMt Btevenson stood umpire for Wahganui, *an 9 Mr Fulton acted m a similar capacity for Feilding. As the, visitors had to Teturn b j the afternoon train, the contest' did hot last for more than a couple of hours, but quite long enough to. show that thccaptain of the Wanganui; team; had so practised his men! that each one . not only :knew.his own position to a nicety-, but was a ware, of He other** play, ; the jinarih£r m .wjbaeh the bair was passed being the o |heme'<rf^genera! { ! adi : miration. This wai a niattefin which the Feilding men wei^'prohiihe^tly deficientir but of course it ,can.. easily beraceounted for m the youth of the club; and the fait tfiftt the team as a whole had not even one practice - together. As the following refers to a gentleman who has just east h>» lot m. the Mapawatu, no doubt it will be read with interest by our readers, and serve to show the. kind of metal our new settler is made of. It is from the "Hawkes Bay Herald* of last Thursday j— tl Mr Edward Collins, an old and' respected Waipawa settler, was entertained at dinner by a number of his friends at: the Empire Hotel) Waipawa, on 'Tuefstjay evening preparatory to his leaving! {-Jib* Pajmerstoh, Mr ; JA.

With the accession. ofuMr'Haynes. to the staff, the Board, have nave secured two thoroughly efficient officers. A meeting of the liquidators appointed by the shareholders m the the Public HaU was held on Mondi^ evening for the' purpose of devising the best means of disposing of the property.

However, he mode another application, stating 'that with £)6 m addition to the £20 m hand,, considerable repairs might be eftecteH, and he was pleased to see by the newspaper report that sura had been granted. Considerable discussion took place as to the necessity of backing up the master m enforcing compliance of the compulsory j clause, i /-Mr ( Lihton stated that while m Wellington he had interviewed Mr Holds worth v on, the j matter of a site for a Bchool for Terrace End, and that gentleman', had promised that; lie would, if possible, have the two acres selected' by Mr Collins, placed m the hands of the committee for the purpose. , Inrejjly toa question from Mr Linton, Mr Looke reported that there were now I^o names on the roll, . wit h -'an average-! attendance ©f 96. Before separating the Chairman read' a 'circular received from the Education Board, v respecting the examination of pupil teachers, and it was stated - that there were *&ye female puoils m the; school who were pre- ' pared to contest. ■ , ' ,-? We would remind the membergof the Pnlmeraton Literary Society, and those wilKng to j"oin the association, that a meeting • will, be held to-morrow evening at eight o'clock. This business is of an important nature,, amongst other the election of a president and a managing committee. The objects of the Society are such as should olaim the sympathy and support of all, and ■we trust -thai; at. this, ..its. almpat inaugural meeting, a large i muster oi residents -will be obtained.
