The plan for Jjie "Living Whist and Kirmess" entertainment opened at the (oilier and Collier Piano Company's depot yesterday morning. Early booking i, advised. Mr. !),i vid McMillan's well-known • lersey herd, to be sold by Mr. New! on K'ng at Leppcrtnn on Wednesday, 2f>th instant, has been established for about fifteen years, during which time only the best breeds of Jersey bulls and lnileh cows have been used by the owner and his predecessor, with the result that a splendid milking herd has been built u]). The pedigree hull Silver King 11. belongs to one of the oldest milking strains, being a grandson of Waikato's •Fancy and closely related to Cicero 11. His grand-dam, owned by Mr. C. Day, Auckland, is still in milk, though more than 22 years old; in a recent letter Mr. Day sals he is still milking her, and also that she is one of the best milkers ho ever owned. On his dam's side he is equally aristocratic, his grand-sire being that renowned bull Dry Monopole (4!), -VZ.11.1!.). The young' stock, all sired by Silver King 11., are a choice lot, and will prove a valuable acquisition to any dairy herd. Mr. \V. T. Hookham, the cash clothier, Devon and Brougham streets, advertises new styles in all men's and youths' clothing for summer wear. A visit to liookham's will repay all who want the best at reasonable cost.

11. Woodhouse, sharcbroker, informs us that Wailii shares saw a considerable drop yesterday, sales taking place at *S Bs. The cause of the drop is on account of a slight creep in the upper levels of the mine, doubtless caused by the recent heavy rainfalls. Mr. Woodhouse received the following wives from his Auckland brokers: "Slight creep upper levels, Wailii. Nothing serious. Good buying on drop." Later: "Almost certain market bottom; last sales £S Ss; will wire again morning." Investors cannot do better than take advantage of the market in its present state, as nothing serious has occurred, and the returns will be up to average; the shares should therefore rise right away. Attention is drawn to Mr. Woodhouse's guarantee on page 2.

Mr. John McMahon, herbalist, hair, eye, and kidney specialist, from Wellington, notifies elsewhere that he may lie consulted at the Coffee Palace, New Plymouth, for two weeks from to-day, lsth inst. Particulars in advertisement.
