• An’ ■lnvercargill urchion having been ordered to write the names of several great men in'his school exercise book, made a very fair selection, albeit a little pugnicious, . Sap to a certain point. The names were— Shakesphere, Columbus, Nelson, Bruce, Cromwell,Havelock,Franklin. . .. . at this point the colonial spirit asserted itself, and he wound up his galaxy of talent with “Ned Kelly.” The Tradesmen’s Quadrille Assembly held their first dance of the season last night in the Oddfellow’s Hall, Barnard street. There was a fair attendance and the proceedings passed off pleasantly. The music, supplied by Mr C. Patton, pianist, assisted by. Mr Smith (cornet) was especially good. His Lordship Bishop Redwood visited the Catholic boys’ and girls’ scheol this morning. Addresses were read to His Lordship, at the former by Master McGeown and at the latter by Miss Agnes Muller. His Lordship expressed his satisfaction at the general work of the pupils and especially at the discipline, which he said was highly commendable. He impressed upon the children that the school was their own, and that the tone of the school depended on the moral conduct of the scholars. His 'ordship granted both I schools a holiday which was readily accepted by pupils and teachers. j

Mr Wm. Evans intimates that he has removed to the premises in South road formerly used by him as a grain store. A totalisator sweep has been opened on the Timaru Cup at Hurcomb’s oyster saloon by our well known sporting friend, Mr Dan Lee. Nothing so accurately denotes the pastoral character of a district or the quality of the season as a butcher’s shop Bounds, sirloins, and saddles, encircled with rolls of snowy fat, not only tempt the palate but tell of clftver paddocks and plains of waving grass, with sheep and oxen intheprimest condition. The virtues of South Canterbury as a stock-growing district have always been demonstrated at Messrs Peacock and Qeahey’s West End butchery, whose trade owing to theenterprisedisplayed has steadily increased. In addition to the retail business, which extends in every direction for a radius of twenty or thirty miles r around Timaru, the firm supply nearly the whole of the shipping, besides exerting regular consignments of prime corned beet to the West Coast, The result is that no waste occurs and their customers have the advantage of securing . meat of the finest quality sweet and fresh at the lowest possible market rates.- This afternoon the establishment we refer to was stocked with beef and mutton that we venture to say has never been surpassed in appearance in these colonies. The Victoria pork shop at the corner of Main North road and Church street is another branch erected by the same firm. It has enabled them to dispense with their shop in North street without, inconveniencing their customers at the' opposite end of the town, whose orders are attended to as formerly. The business has now been concentrated so that there is no confusion, and the public can have their wishes attended to with promptitude and punctuality. The Victoria has become noted for its fresh dairy fed porkers, deliciously prepared and assorted small goods, fowls, &c. One of the attractions this evening is an ornamental saddle of mutton embellished with a fac-mnile of the Euterpe now loading with grain outside' the Breakwater. It is a triumph of art .in its way that will no doubt attract crowds of admirers.- [Advt.]
