A notice appears in this morning’s issue, from the Secretary of the Hawke’s Bay Education Board, that an election of three persons to fill vacancies on the Board will be held on Tuesday, the 15th of March next. At a meeting of the Committee of the Horticultural and Floriculture! Society held last Friday evening, it was decided to hold the Autumn Show in the month of March ; but the exact day will be contingent on the rainfall, of which there seems to be little probability, at present. AVe notice that the Observer alludes to Gisborne as a God-forsaken place, because *’ servant-gal-ism ” goes to balls and dances with its mistress. We condole with th? Observer, for it is obvious from the “ Society ” tone of most of its productions that the Devil has taken full possession of the City of AuckIt is Stated that a movement is on foot to establish a Working Man’s Club in Gisborne. These institutions have been highly successful t hroughout the Colony, and in Auckland, Napier, Christchurch, and Dunedin are largely patronised. Should the idea, at present only in embryo, become an accomplished fact, there cannot be the slightest doubt but that t. large number of members will be enrolled.
