LOCAL AND GENERAL.

The Hon. Secretary of the Bowling Club (Mr Win. M.lLinan) announces that a committee meeting will be held in the Tourist Office at 8 o’clock this evening, when the election of a Match Committee and other business will take place. "We are all looking anxiously forward, to the return of Sir Joseph Ward,” said Captain Marshall, at the Civil Service Rifles concert recently. ‘‘We expect important changes as far as volunteering is concerned, and we are awaiting the scheme which Sir Joseph expects to perfect and lay before Parliament this year.”

As a sequel to the extremely cold weather of late, our majestic mountain and the surrounding high peaks were capped with snow yesterday momiug. From Waihou and the \ surrounding districts, from whence a good view of the ranges can be had, the sight was indeed picturesque, especially so when the sun shone out on the mantle of white. Messrs A. Lennard and E. Fisher (Waihou) and Barney Miller (Te Aroha) have been chosen to represent Thames iu the match against Auckland on Saturday next. Owing to injuries received at Waihi in the last match it is feared that Lennard will not be able to play. Meeting of the Bowling Club’s Committee this evening.

Taylor-Carrington Company in Public Hall to-night.

Mr Fred Devey, while engaged in his smithy on Tuesday, was struck severely across the eyeball with a splinter of steel. He is at present in the Waihi Hospital, and from latest accounts is making good progress. At first it was thought bis sight would be impaired. On Sunday afternoon at 2.30 the Rev. A. J. Reed will conduct service in the Waitoa Methodist Church.

The members of St. Mark’s Girls’ Guild (Miss K. Holden, Hon. Sec.) have decided to hold a Cinderella Dance in the Public Hall on Wednesday, September Bth.

Owing to the boisterous weather, the mistake in the date, and sundry other set-backs, the attendance at Montgomery’s entertainment on Tuesday evening was not up to expectations. The programme submitted was very good ; the handcuff and chain work by Professor Parker proved a revelation. It is the intention of the management to pay Te Aroha a return visit before leaving the Auckland district. Four hundred years ago (1509) John Calvin, the founder of modern Presbyterianism, was born, and Presbyterians the world over are now doing honour to his memory. Auckland Presbyterians are organising a great Presbyterian rally, to be held in St. Andrew’s Church. Popular addresses will be given by wellknown ministers, and special music will be rendered by a combined Presbyterian choir. A large and enthusiastic gathering is anticipated.

The mine mananer or the Rising Sun Gold Mining Company, Limited, reports for the week ending 14th August, as follows The contractors have driven 25 feet for the week, that is 100 feet during the period of the present contract making a total of 346 feet in all. The country still contines sandstone and is timbered up to within 25 feet of the face.

It is, funny that when you ask a man to advertise he generally declines with the statement that nobody will see it, observes the Feilding Star. But if you advertise some little caper of his in the news column gratis, he gets indignant over the certainty that everybody will see it, and, permit us to add, threaten to crush the life out of the “rag” by withdrawing his subscription. Mrs T. Burton. Albert road, Epsom, N.Z, writes: “ We all use Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and think a lot of it. My husband who is a conductor on the Auckland trams, takes it when he baa the least pymptom of a cold, and it always lessens the attack, Have given it to our children many times for coughs or croup, and it has never failed to cure.
