We unintentionally omraitted the name of Mr M. Jonas, from the members present at the meeting of the llcgatta Committee yesterday. Mr Thomas Langdon of Wai-iti, brought to town to-day, the first new potatoes of the season. They were a splendid sample of kidneys, and the delicacy was rushed by consumers. The Hospital Commissioners this morning were interviewed in accordance with a requisition previously presented bv Drs Hammond, Lovegrovc, Mclntyre, Hogg, and Murdoch, on the subject of placing the medical staff on a publicly recognised footj ing. The request of the medical staff having been explained by the members present, the Chairman replied that the Commissioners would take the subject into consideration. The Stud of New Zealand has suffered a severe loss through the death last night, of the Thoroughbred entire Castaway, the property of Mr James King of Timarn. The horse which appeared to be in excellent health and condition, and made a dashing figure at the recent parade, took suddenly ill about 7 p.m. and despite all remedial measures, died during the night. Castaway was a full brother to Lurlinc, by Traduccr out of Mermaid, and his value would probably be about SOO guineas. An emergency meeting of the Caledonian Lodge S.G., takes place in the Masonic Hall, Hank street, this evening.
