Heavy tragedian in railway hotel: “ Prithee, landlord, dwells there within the precincts of this hamlet a machinist.” Landlord : “A machinist? Yes sir.” “Then bear to him this bird of many springs.

“ Six weeks ago Lord Tredegar, left here “to spend a few weeks in Auckland, leaving “ an order that the Stan hard be regularly “ posted to his address. We requested him, “ knowing that his word was to be relied on, “ to let us know if he received his papers “ regularly. Last Saturday we heard, and “ he complains that during the five weeks of “ his stay in Auckland, only fourteen copies “ had reached him. We can vouch that “ every day’s issue has been posted, gene- “ rally iu two’a bo that the papers are some- “ where appropriated. We should like to “ trace where the undelivered papers go to.” Perhaps Mr Shrimpton can tell us. A telegram has been received by the Harbor Master, Captain Andrews, from Captain Edmunds stating that a tidal wave had passed Russell at 9 a.m. this morning, rising and filling 4 feet; it seems working down the coast. It is caused by a cyclone somewhere to the nor-west of East Cape, and which is moving to the south-east. The tide heie in Gisborne rose three feet this morning at 10 a.m., and then receded, rose 3 feet again, at 2 o’clock p.m. but did not recede.

Applications are invited for the appointment of Clerk of Works to superintend the construction of the new wharves, and for Borough and Harbor Board engineer, will be received up to the 4th and 11th of next month respectively. Full particulars of the same can be obtained by reference to our advertising columns. Tenders will be received by the County Engineer for building a truss bridge near the Karawa Creek, and metalling main road from Quarry tram road to Muhunga Bridge, and will close on the 13th September.

The Balance of our report of the Borough Council and an article entitled “ A Victorian View of Sir George Grey,” will be found on our fourth page. On account of the Ringarooma being a day late, the inspection of J Battery by Major Sheppard will not take place until Saturday evening. In another column of this morning’s issue will be seen a requisition to Mr E. P. Joyce asking him to allow himself to be nominated to fill one of the vacancies now open in the Borough Council, and also his acceptance of the same. We are exceedingly pleased at this, as Mr Joyce is so well known as being thoroughly honest and straightforward in all his dealings, that the burgesses can put every reliance iu his working for their interests. We hope to see him returned by a large majority.
