STRATFORD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) (All communications, letters, etc., left with Mr H J. HopUlas, bookseller, will receive prompt attention.) BOWLING. Stratford, .March 0 Bowling tna tiers have been very quiet lately. It iviis expected that a banner match would have been arranged either with Hawera or Inglewood this week, but it was found impossible to arrange the match. Next week Stratford will play two matches with Hawera, one on Wednesday on the local green, and one on Thursday at Hawera. The following •week Inglewood and Stratford will meet. In a buttons match last evening- Pratt, Fookes, Porritt, Sangster (sk.) defeated Smith, Woodhead, Lyons. Cottier (sk.) by lfi to 9. GENERAL. Mr. J. Masters, who underwent an operation for an internal complaint, in Dr. Gordon's private hospital, on Monday, is reported t>, be progressing well. 'Mr. E. Stevens, Stratford (Superintendent of the industrial branch of the A M.l'. Society, left this morning with hi? wife and tamilj fur Palrnerston North, to which town he has been transferred.

Mr. P. L. Spurdle, who has been conducting the Stratford Band for over a year past, was also a passenger by the mail train, en route for Hastings, where he will have charge of the local band. The Ej?mont Coach and Carriage Company is exhibiting at the New Plymouth Show grounds their hay stacker. This was inspected to-day by numbers of farmers, and favorably commented on.

In Broadway there 19 a shop that is always attractive. Goods are displayed in a tasteful manner, the quality is of the best, and the prices lowest on the market. This' combination is hard to beat and is the secret of the great success attained by Mr. C. K. James. This is no wild statement but a fact. Just now he is offering a wide range of ladies' handbags that are exceptionally good value, whilst his crockery and antimony ware is worthy of particular attention.—Advt.
