HITCHEN’S wonder of the World to be had at the ARGYLL. 308 The s.s. Albion from Auckland had not arrived up to a late hour last night, owing to the strong southerly gale blowing. We notice that the Rotorua has been withdrawn from Sydney this trip. The first steamer from this port for Sydney will be the Albion on her return from the south. DR. HITCHENS may be consulted at the ARGYLL daily. 307 The annual meeting of the Gisborne Benevolent Society was held in McFarlane’s Hall, on Wednesday last.

Mr. Me Ara, hon. sec., read the annual report and balancesheet, which showed an amount of good work done during the year, and a small balance at the Bank.

The following ladies were elected to serve on the Committee during the ensuing year : —Mesdames W. L. Williams, Berry, Pollen, Mountfort, East, O’Meara, Bousfield, and Miss Nesbitt. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Chairman. THE Marvel of the Age. The Great Blood Restorer to be had at the ARGYLL. 309
