Tvx Gbqwmas. -- We have been requested, to intimate to our subscribers in' Feeding, that this clever troupe will show inMaysmor's Hall, on Monday and Tuesday's evenings. Thpse who relish comicality m its broadest sense, had better bestow their patronage. ' Excblsiob! — The go-aheadism of the Feildingites seems quite irrepressible. Not content with going m for a Chess Club and Cavalry Troop, they propose to establish a Skating Rink and a Dancing School. These will relieve the monotony of our long winr ter nights", and we hope to see these projects fully carried out. . : '■'.' 4- Wast Sbthmbd. —Feilding and the district wound hare long suffered from the absence of a druggist's shop. Thii will not b» the ease milch longer, for Mr. Higgins, kte of Hokitika, is going to open inthafc line the shop next to Professor •Rowley's; It is rather a strange coincidence that Tepresentatiyes of the Empire city and a county town should seek a bettor business, m prosperous Feilding. It speaks well for the township at any- rate. Thb Benedicts' Bjuoi.—^ The ball to he given by. the Benedicts of Feilding will take place on evening, the 4th of July, m Mr: Maysmor's Auction Room. Though the date happens to be the anniversary of tfie Independence of America, we may state that the re-union will not have any political or social bearing. Wjien we mention Mr. H.^L v S|iierjjall's name as tfoehon. secretary, : it wiii be a ; that all the i arrangements' willbe r perfect.- We learn that about one hn^djed. and fifty in?itatioris have been issued. Cavalet TBdoH;r-The exciting news, or rather rumors, which reach us from time to time from the West Coast, has had one good effect— it has evoked the martial spirit of the Feilding men. 4- meeting has been convened "for Monday evening, m Mr. Maysmor's Auction Boom, to consider, the advisability of forming a cavalry troop. We trust that the military ardor of our Feilding friends will secure s.q fleairable an object. The V situation" at present is not such as to . warrant m utter disregard of the means of self-defence. -■'..-..;.." ;- - v :. .' '.' ' \
