INTERESTING ITEMS.

We wish to remind our readers of Mr. Regall's sale on the Bedford road on Tuesday next, when Messrs Vickera and Stoveng will dispose of toe whole of his dairy stock, etc., as advertised. As the larm has been sold, everything will be sold without reserve. Aroa Bros.' busy cash store lias a knack of keeping abreast' of the times. The Christmas season is approaching. and with this in view the firm bag just landed a very large stock of fancy china and glassware goods. There are Suradreds of articles included in the shipment, all new and exclusive. Pay a visit to Aroas' Store for your own satigfaction. The official opening of the Fitzroy Bowling, Tennis and Croquet Club will take place on Monday, 9th inst. A bit of a sensation was caused in town last night when it was rumored that Jerusalem Neddy had arrived by the mail train. Such was not the case, however, the committee having made arrangements for him to arrive by special conveyance this morning. During the afternoon he will be paraded through the town so that thoge who intend to have a ride on Monday can take his measure. Neddy is said to be in excellent form and can buck like an American bronco, having been fed for some time on long oats and soda water. Riders are requested not to use whip or spur, as they might make his hide crack, which would be a serious matter for the Fukekura Park Board. Neddy will be guest of the Board while in New Plymouth and will be at home to callers . during Sunday afternoon.

A TOOTHSOME DISPLAY. The Taranaki Meat Bazaar's central establishment was the centre of attraction in Devon street last evening, attracting the attention of every passerby. The "Bazaars" have recently changed hands, the new proprietor being Mr. H. T. Joll, formerly of TJruti. Taking over the business on November Ist, Mr. Joll made his first week-end display, and wo might be pardoned for stating that probably in all New Zealand there could hardly have been brought together a shopful of meat of higher quality. It was prime—prime in the most exclusive sense of the word. What first attracted the eye, though not by any means the main feature, was the excellent display of small goods in the windows. DHI taoU or one of the fine fat iambs had been emblazoned in itip-top city style, with the flags and title of the Taranaki Meat Bazaar prominently shown. This was the work of Mr. P. Piitehnrd, the firm's small-goods mail. And all around the shop were ranged the carcases of thirteen fed-to-the-minute South Taranaki four-year-old bullocks, grown and fattened by Mr. F. A. Bremer, of Okaiawa. The display of mutton, too, was very fine, comprising twenty-five prime wethers from the pastures of Mr W. Birdliag, of WaJtara. Fifteen fat lambs, grown by Mr. Honeyfield, of Bell Block, are X credit to tho display, and there is also the real from two well-grown calves. Mr. Joll informed our reporter last night that this was the class of meat which he in< tended to supply. Fat bullocks, in his idea, aid far better and made more friends than worn-out milch cows. The whole was not only a credit to the firm, and to Mr. ,1. Harvey, in charge of the central shop, but also a proof of what of what Taranaki pastures can do.
