HAMILTON.
This day.
The news of the warm reception accorded to the Cavalry has reached here, and everyone is pleased at the way the Thames people have acted. Our men will doubtless have a jolly time and be loth to leave the large-hearted people of | the Thames. Saturday. The Question of Settling the Land of Te ArohaThe .Waikato Times in a leader referring to the late visit of the Lincolnshire delegates to Te Aroha urges the Government to take advantage of the class of immigrants they represent, and quotes tbe late failure of the sale of Te Aroha lands as indicative of the fact that if the Government waits for local purchasers of the land it will remain idle for years. The article further says the existing state of things at Home are favourable to immigration of the right class, but the three hundred and twenty acre sections in which the Te Aroha is surveyed is altogether too small for the men represented by the delegates who would require a thousand acres each. It urges the Government to reserve 14,000 acres for the Licoln shire farmers, leaving 30,000 to be otherwise disposed of. The article is exhaustive, and will not bear a telegraphic resume.
