Turf Club. —-A meeting of the Poverty Bay Turf Club committee will be held on Friday evening next at the Argyll Hotel. Town Section No. 141.—This property was not sold on Saturday last, on account of the continuance of the saddlery sale : it will be submitted on Saturday next. Raffle.—Mr Barsdell announces to members that the raffle to which they have subscribed will take place this evening at hisFancyßepository atBo’cloek sharp. Ormond Sinking.—Scottie, the irrepressible, announces that he will appear with the skates at Ormond, and the Mill Bush on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings next.

Tenders. —Mr Morgan requires tenders to be sent in to him by Saturday next the 25th instant for the ereelion of an auction mart for Messrs Ferris and Pitt. Mr Duncan Fraser also invites tenders by the 27th instant for mowing 15 to 20 acres of grass at Oweta. Osmond Conveyance.—Mr Bidgood requests us to notify that his coaches are now running between Ormond and Gisborne regularly every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings, without any deviation or intermission. The time table appears in another column. Strawberries and Cream—This seasonable dish is how to be enjoyed in abundance. The Roseland Gardens were visited by large numbers of persons during last Sunday, considering the chilly aspect of the weather, where a plentiful supply of this delicious fruit was obtainable. Saddlery Auction Sale.—ln consequence of the large and varied stock of saddlery in the estate of the late T. Gray, Mr W. S. Greene was unable to dispose of all the lots on Saturday last. The sale will, therefore, be resumed on Saturday next, the 25th instant, to which the attention of the trade and buyers generally is invited.

Wabrenoa-a-hika Forge. — Mr Me’ Millan of Ormond, announces that he has opened a branch at Waerenga-a-hika near to Nash’s hotel, where, in conjunction with his Ormond branch, he will carry on the trade of blacksmith and veterinary surgeon. There should be a good opening at this spot, and we doubt not Mr Me’ Millan will do well there. Horse Exportation. — On Monday last Mr Richard Kelly started overland, via Wairoa, with 90 horses, tor the Auckland market ; he expects to be about a month on the road. These make up a total of 498 horses taken by Mr Kelly to Auckland, in the space of three years, and they are reported to be of a useful kind, and many very superior in quality.

Jaundiced Vibws. — The bilious and dyspeptic subject takes ‘‘jaundiced views” of everything, always looks at the worst side. He is despondent, gloomy, full of forebodings, in short, a most wretched individual. Let him take heart of grace. There is a certain remedy for his depression, for his gastric tortures, for all the ills that a disordered stomach and liver inflict. Udolpho Wolfe’s Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, taken thrice a day, will make a different man of him in a month.

Back Again.—The newly erected Butcher’s shop at the corner of Derby street and the Gladstone road, has gone through much vicissitude, and many changes of proprietorship, during the last few months, and now Mr Mclntosh, the owner advertises that he has resumed the business on his own account, Messrs. Kilburn and Co. having retired from the same. Mr Me Intoshhad a good business connection when he gave it up, and his obliging disposition and desire to please his customers should be the means of reforming it. Auction Progress.—The Knights of the hammer are busy just now, and one of the best signs of success is the announcement that Messrs. Ferris and Pitt, intend building a new auction room in Gisborne. Mr W. S. Greene, also, we believe, purposes taking a step in the same direction. We have always held to the belief that activity amongst Auctioneers, who, like our friends just mentioned are sharp, intelligent, business men, tends to keep trade alive more than any other class of men—we were almost excepting newspaper men, bnt that we leave for others to do —and we feel confident that if country settlers, particularly, avail themselves more than they appear to do, of the services of Auctioneers, the benefit would be largely on their side. Theft. —On Sunday last some cunning thief, evidently well acquainted with the premises, entered Mr Best’s tobacconist shop, and stole from the cash box some loose money which it contained. The object of the theft was evidently not that of wholesale pilfering, for there was aconsiderable sum in the cash box, in bank notes, gold and silver, which was left untouched, so that he had a consideration for the feelings of the injured owner, when he should find what had happened. Mr Best thinks about £4 in notes were taken, but it is impossible to say exactly, not knowing the amount he had there. The entrance was effected through the back window and, it is supposed about midday when the streets were quiet, and most persons at dinner. Nothing else was either stolen of disturbed ; so that it is probable the motive of the depredator was merely to enjoy a day’s outing at some one else’s expense. Mr Best has his suspicions, and that, perhaps, is all he ever will have in satisfaction for his loss. To the Poverty Bay Settlers. — A Gentleman, for many years in my employ, is now in England selecting, no my account, goods specially adapted for this province. To make room for consignments shortly expected, I shall, for the present, offer my large stock (to which liuvite your attention) at unusually low prices, with extra allowance for cash. My BOOK STOCK comprises Standard Works in Theology, History, the ScieneesTravel, Fiction, and Poetry ; elegantly, bound Gift and Table-books ; many thousand volumes adapted for children and young persons, libraries, and prizes ; Educational Books (used in the schools under the Board of Education ; Technical and Toy Books, Maps, &q. In Stationery I keep full stocks of every description required for the desk, counting-house, and private use. To teachers under the Board I act as agent—receiving and forwarding their salaries monthly. I shall be happy to supply Lists of Works in any Department of Literature. All orders which I may be favored will receive my prompt and careful attention.— Edward Waytb, 100 Queen-street. — September 30, 1876. —Advt. 1041
