Owing to the pressure of demand upon our space we have been compelled to shut out our leader and several letters and articles of interest which we shall publish in our next issue. The concert to-night in aid of the Library promises to be highly successful. In addition to Madame Stewart’s well-known and highly appreciated vocalisation, Captain Chrisp and Mr Dufaur will render songs which will, doubtless, prove most attractive. In the farce of “ Bombastes Furiosi” some local hits will be introduced. We hope to see a large attendance, as the object is a grand one, and the performance will undoubtedly be one of the best amateur exhibitions ever witnessed in Poverty Bay. A meeting of the Horticultural and Floricultural Society’s Committee was held last evening, and resulted in the former programme being again presented to the public. There are, however, a number of special prizes which add largely to the attractiveness of the forthcoming exhibition. Ask the ocean if it roars, Ask the skylark if it soars, Ask the dewdrop if it falls, Ask the brooklet if it brawls, Ask the sun if its above you, Then ask me dear if I love you. “Yes, if you buy your boots at Garrett Bros. By a printer’s error Mr William Roe, the proprietor of the Karaka Bush steam saw mills had his name altered last night to William Rosse. We regret that the mistake should have occurred, and will in future prevent the repetition of such an absurd blunder. We would draw special attention to a number of good weight-carrying journey horses to be sold by Messrs Carlaw Smith and Co-, at their weekly horse sale, which takes place to-morrow, at 11 a.m., at the Masonic Stables. They are all thoroughly broken, and in good condition. Messrs Carlaw Smith and Co. will have a perfect field day to-morrow. In addition to their usual horse sale there will be a sale of furniture and of grass seed. Mi' Steggall calls attention to an advertisement re an impounding notice having been wrongly printed. Tho tenders for draining at Mr T. E. R. Bloomfield's residence at To Arai, will close to-morrow, as per advertisement by Messrs Ratcliffe and Co, A meeting of the Gisborne Sailing Club will be helaat the Masonic Hotel to-morrow evening, at 7-30 o’clock. The business will be the adoption of rules and the election of officers.

Mr E, ff. Ward, jr., leaves Gisborne for Opotiki this afternoon on important business in connection with land matters.

Is there any hanky* panky going on in the Finance Committee of the Borough Council ? We have been requested to ascertain '. Mr R. O. Stewart, of Tologa Bay, proceeds overland to Auckland as a witness in the case of Samuel Joy who stands committed for trial for bigamy. Mr Stewart was pre* sent at Joy’s first marriage 25 years ago, in the Waikato. Mr G. Rymer calls for tenders for drainage works at Patutahi. Plans and specifications may be seen and all particulars obtained at Mr Scragg’s house, at Patutahi. The same gentleman invites tenders for the purchase or lease of section No. 46, Ormond, containing 50 acres, part of which is bush ; and town section No. 45, Ormond, 1 acre. Tenders to be sent in to Mr G. Rymer, Napier, by Thursday, the sth of October next. An accident happened to a very choice mare owned by Mr Allanach, this forenoon. She endeavored to jump the paling fence and made a mess of it, getting staked in a manner which necessitated the immediate attendance of Messrs Albert Pritchard and Alex. McKenzie. The wound was so severe that the entrails protruded, and it was not without some difficulty they were re-placed and the gap sewn up. The mare is doing well at present, and although she may feel somewhat uncomfortable for a day or so is confidently expected to recover. It is on the tapis that on our M. H. R., Mr Allan McDonald returning from a proposed visit to Napier and subsequent to his address to the electors, he is to be entertained at a public dinner. We feel assured that one and all will heartily enter into the spirit of the thing, and show the esteem in which they hold “ our member.”
