Owing to the'eriterprise of Mr. Gosling, Jun;" who has leased- Mr. Maysmor's spacious halljover -his ofllce and auction^ room, the rink was opened; on Saturday" night. There was a very fair attendance of both skaters : and i spectators, and everything 'passed off plea- ! santly .andngood.temperedlyV Though falls [ were numerous— skates arid flounders at a I shilling per pair being the order. of the even--I ing— no accident occurred. Itwill be seen 1 from the, advertisement which appears m i another coiumriy that the afternoons of Tuesdays'and Fridays are reserved for ladies exclusively.' -.''■ •,.,- .'.,:' ■ : ' i Martial Ardor. — Volunteering m Feilding has been a. great; succTess. A re^ quisition asking his Excellency tlie Governor to. iaccept their services was signed by 'seventy-nine, and despatched! to the-De-fence Minister by Friday's mail. Since then upwards of forty more have signified their willingness to join, so that we may presently, hope 'to see as strong a Volunteer Force m our midst as m any provincial town m the Colony. We should like to see a similar hearty movement m every centre of population of any note throughout the Northern Island. The Government might do worse than take advantage of the present unsettled state of affairs to foster and encourage Volunteering m every directiori. Football Match at BuL^.HThe foptball,;mat^h -arrangedr to be ' playedat ßulls on Saturday can scarcely be said to have conic off j as' only five - of the Fe'ld ing. team put in .' an appearance. Nothing daunt ed they airreed to play, for half an hour against such odds-T^twotpone-^-but this iWas more by way of practice than anything else. Our team were— -Booth (capt.) Rowley, Sampson, Clere, arid Hendersori. All played well, but Sampson and ; Henderson specially distinguished tbernselves— the ' former m collaring; and holding.andthe' latter m running. The, Bulls tepni which cpinprised— Sriiith (captain) Jackson,, MacDpnald, CavJerbiU; Maclean, Cain pion* Franks, and'three others also played welii'and scored nine points -to thoir-.opponents' nil.

We have been favored . with an inspection of the pians, which' have been prepared by Mr. F. de J. Clere, a young and rising architect, who ha* utilised the comparatively small means. at his -disposal to the best advantage. ■ The Hall 13 to be a joint stock company affair, the capital, consisting of 1030 shares at £l -> each, nearly the whole of which have been taken up; and its cost ■waa'of "course ljunited to tnis sum. The; site chosen is between;the railway and Mr. Whisker's shop. Tlie ground plan covers an acre of .46 x 102 ft'The front will be" occupied with two shops, each 17 x 15 with, a vestibule m the centre 10x15. -* Immediately behind will be the; refreshment and cloak rooms. The Hall itself will be 60 x. 45, the stage-; 25 x X9j . with a dressing room on either side 10 x 19; Behind these will be a corridor seven feet, wide, with lnvatory on one end. ; The height of tbe building willbe 21 "feet to' the .eaves and 36 feet to the ridge. - The fronts will have four barge rafters surmountedby. ornar mental finials— oneon the main bujldingarid one on each of the two-shops' and vestibule.
