WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1888.

About four ton 5*5 * of cralcna fmm the Ciianipion Lode Mine, Tui, was shipped yesteiday for Paeroa. This paioel is a poition of twenty tons to be despatched for the Pnvkes furnace, Karangahake. Messrs Bradley and Co. have rocentlv 1 ir^ely augmented their working plant b\ r the pmc k >ase oC the horses, harness, mid hug»ies of: Mr James Rickets, of the Thames. Good progress is being made hy the contractors for the removal of Stace.y's ' batteiy. AH the machinery is now out of the building ready for shipment to ] Piiproa. On Monday, the boiler was examined by the Government Inspector, Mr lilarkman, piior to its removal to Waitskaun. Scarlet fever is very prevalent at the Thames just now. Four or five cases have been repoited dm ing the past week. A man named Edward Laurence, who up till recently has been stopping at Mr Hotcliin's boarding-house, was arrested at Te Awnmutu on Monday afternoon at the instigation of Sergeant Emerson on a charge of issuing a numbe' 1 of valueless cheques during his stay at Te Arohn. lie was brought up befoie a local justice and remanded to Te Aioha, ai living here by train yesterday. The Case will in all probability be heard to-day. Lawrence left for Te Awamutu on Monday morning. On tliß Prince of Wales Birthday a concert and soiiee will he given in the Waiorongomni Public Hall in aid of the Church of England Fund, for which active preparations are now beina; made. Part of the proceeds of this entertainment will be devoted tow ards the purchase of music for the choir, which has recently been reorganised, and now numbers twenty-four voices, including- ten trebles andfi\ e tenors. As soon as the necessary music is obtained, the Psalms and other portions Of the service will be chanted. In connection with the forthcoming Clinieh of Ensrl<md entertainment, etc., at YVaiorongoinai, we understand that Mr England has undertaken the entire management of the concert pait of the pioceedin^s. The affair has beei. got up by the ladies of Waiorongomai, who themselves give six of the trays foi the soiree, the bicliolars of Waioiongoinai lnve promised anothei, whilst the eighth will be known as the All Comers tny. No efforts will be spared to make the affair a thorough success. Mi Geo. Iloldcn advertises foi the owner of a chestnut mare and foal. An elderly woman named Chambers, who resides at Taraiu, met with a curiou^ accident at the Thames on Fiid.jy List. It appears that not feeling well she proem ed a cib to convey her to the Ilospit-il, as she was deMiou 0 of consulting Dr Williams. On arrival the driver was assistini; her to alight ; and in order to do so onnsrht her by the aim, when the bone snapped just below the elbow. The bioken limb was set by Dr Williams. The sufferer is now piogressing favourably. About three o'clock on Saturday afternoon last an accident occurred to a little boj' named llobeit Fan ell, six years 01* age, son of Mr John Fairell. platelayer, employed on the railway. It seems tbe boy, in company with two or three others, bad been pbiyintr with a. horse in a vacant allotment opposite the Oddfellows Hall for pome time, an r l whilst they were all clustering around, the animal suddenly, launched out, and kicked the boy Farrell, throwing him violently on the ground, lie was picked up by his plaj'mates and conveyed home, where he was attended to by Dr FT. Lewis. Upon examination the doctor found the collarbone to be bioken, and from the nature of tbe bruises on the chest, it is feared he has also received some internal injuries. The fiactured membej was set by Dr Lewis. Up till Tuesday the little suffeiei appeared to improve, but towards tbe evening a change set in, and he is now vci y Jow. This accident j should serve as a warning to other children not to take libei ties with their four-footed friends, no matter how quiet they may be. On the 18th inst the Tauranga Lawn Tennis Club opened the season at Mr Buirows's grounds, First Avenue, with a muster of about twenty members. The grounds were in first ?vite order. Matches with Te Puke, Katikat', Te Arohn, and other places are anticipated during the season. A series of three entertainments were given by the clever humourist, Max Rinkle, on Fiiday, Saturday, and Momlav, at the Waiorongomai Public Hall. He was assisted by some local talent, and the performances weie much appreciated, although not largely attended. This was owing no doubt to counter-attraction and nnpiopitious weather. On Friday and Saturday the performance was given in aid of tbe Waiorongomai Band of Hope. On each occcasion an excellent variety programme was submitted, in which Max Rinkle introduced a number of amusing impersonations, which, together with the other items, were loudly applauded by the [ audience. Mr England acted as accompanist, A distmbanco of a serious nature occurred on Monday afternoon at the Palace. Hotel, in which a Maori named Piahana Kan was severely injured. Details of the ocenrence appear elsewhere. As will be seen by advertisement, Max Rinkle (Mr F. E. Harrison), and a specially selected company will give a variety performance this evening at the Te Aroha Public Hall, in which some interesting features will be introduced, including stop-dances, tableaux, and impersonations. Max Rinkle is a sterling entertainev, ami deserves a crowded house. ThQ Tauranga Cheese Factory Co.Tnpin}' hay? appointed Mr Goss as Manager of the fri'-tory. Operations are to commence nfxt Myndiiy. ,

The capital of this syndicate, which will bo all paid up as soon as anan&emenls in New Zealand are completed, is £1,000,000, and of this amount £5,000 is ready to be impounded with the New Zealand Government as soon as the necepsiry Act has been passed. Mr Stewart on his unival in Wellington recently, had a satisfactory interview with the Premier on the Subject. The project, we unclei stand, is not connected with Mr Kees's scheme for the crofter settlement of Cook's County."
