Nominations of candidates for the office of Mayor must be lodged with the Town Clerk not later than noop to-morrow. There is, we believe, no likelihood of a contest, as the present Mayor is the only gentleman named as a probable candidate. In view of the fact that in all probability there will be another election in November, it could scarcely be expected that any one would come forward to dispute Mr. Gibbs' claim to office for so short a period. There wa? only a small attendance at the. concert given in the Volunteer Hall last evening by the Carandini Company. The j programme was gone through with the usual j amount of spirit, and tl)e audience testified their approval of the vocal efforts of the company. Mr. Wm. Sutherland, with tlie readiness which gjiaracterises that worthy. County Councillor to assist tho furtherance of any laudable object, has complied with there; quest of the Duntroou School Committee to doliver a lecture in aid of the school funds. ■ Tha subject of Mr, Sutherland's lecture has not been announced, but as he generally selects a subject eminently calculated to display to the greatest advantage the peculiar talents for which he is'noted, we have no doifbf that those who attend the lecture to-morrow evening wj}l be thoroughly entertained. No entertainment would bp eon r sidcrcd complete at Duntroon unless the programme included a dance, and the Committee have dptennined t' at there shall be a dance at the close of Mp. Sutherland's lecture. At the Resident Magistrate's Court, this morning, before T. W.

It is hoped that there will be a large attendance. As the second quarter has just commenced, this will be a good opportunity for young men to join the Association.
