A.skating rink was opened in the Bilili Haif last evening, and, according to un ungrammatical circular issuid by' the persons' responsible for tho enterprise, strict decorum, goodr order and gentlemanly conduct will bo compelled from those who ore permitted to attend this "elite" roller rink. To enable the managers to, carry out thoir, programme it would, however,, be advisable for them to take a few lessons in gentlemanly fceha\liour themselves, which apparently they are ignorant of ; or they would not issue an invitation card, to a gentleman, and when he presented himself at the door take his card from him and refuse to allo\y hiiu to enter. This occurred last night in one case. Possibly there ivere others.

A member of the judicial bench who visited Gisborne recently had a imiipie experience in the way of losing his watch. On retiring to rest one night he placed his watch on i the mirror stand near the window of his bedroom. On rising in the morning he pulled up the Venetian 1 lilind, when to his amazement he found 'his watch had disappeared.
