Thomasen. of Mane loronga, the well-known poultry o.'ubitor, took over three hundred prices, besides winning two championships, one silver cup and twenty special prizes, states the Eketahuna Express. This is probably a record for any one breeder in the colony. Miss Kathleen Robins, of Masterton, has been appointed by the Bishop of Wellington to work among the Maori women and girls in the Wairarapa. Her headquarters will be at Greytown. Miss Robins will be entertained at a farewell social in St. Matthew's Schoolroom, on Thursday evening, prior to her departure to take up her new duties. The Masterton Municipal Brass Band rendered a select programme of music in the Park, yesterday afternoon, before a large number of the public. The stlections were excellently played, and were greatly appreciated by those present. A collection, taken up in aid of the Woodward family, amounted to £3 12s 6d. The sections in River Road, belonging to the Masterton Borough Council, were sold by public auction by Mr W. B. Chennells, on Saturday afternoon. Four sections were sold to Mr David Donald for £l2O, and two to Mr J. C. Ewington for £54. At the same sale the Corporation cottage in Hope Street was sold tc Mr J. Jepson for £ls. The death occurred in the Masterton Hospital, on Saturday afternoon, from typhoid fever, of Mr W. Logan. The deceased, who was the second son of Mr Jas. Logan, of Masterton, was only 19 years of age, and came to Masterton aboul ten years ago from Canterbury. He took a keen interest in sport, and was captain of the .\lbion Football Club.

On Thursday evening next, the 29th inst., Captain McNaught, general organiser for the National League of New Zealand, will delivei 1 a lecture in the Town Hall on "Compulsory Universal Training," as advocated by the League. Right through the Auckland, Taranaki, Wanganui, Manawatu and Hawke's Bay districts this great national movement has taken firm hold in the various towns all along the line already organised, and in every case strong branches, with energetic representative committees, have been established. The organiser is at present organising the Wairarapa district. On Wednesday last an en- . thusiastic meeting was held and a branch was established in Carterton. Tuesday next Greytown will be visited and organised Masterton the 1 following Thursday, Wcodvillo and Pahiatua the following'week. In connection with the public meeting in Masterton an excellent musical programme of instrumental ■ and vocal items will be rendered during the evening. Complete details will appear in a later issue. The public meeting is free to all parts of the house, and as Captain McNaught thoroughly understands his subject and as the movement is of such vital interest to the general public throughout the colony it is greatly to bs hope 3 that there will be a monster attenudance of the public at the meeting next Thursday night.

At the meeting of the Masterton Branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, held on Saturday afternoon, the President (Mr J. C. McKillop), who was one of the delegates to the Farmers' Union Conference at Levin, stated that farmers on the West Coast appeared to be much more alive to their own interests than the farmers in this district are. The funeral of the late Mr Michael Hogan, who was accidentally killed at Rissington (Hawke's Bay) on Thursday last, took place at the Masterton Cemetery, yesterday afternoon. A number of the relatives of the deceased live in Masterton, and he was well-known in the district. Consequently the cortege was a large one. The Rev. Dean McKenna conducted the services at the graveside. A sequel to the case before the District Court, on Friday last, in which a youth named George William Hulley was found guilty on a charge of procuring an unlawful instrument to be used for an illegal purpose, was the arrest at Carterton, on Saturday morning of Arthur J. Lindop, chemist, on a charge of supplying an instrument to be used for an unlawful purpose. Mr C. A. Pownall has been retained to defend Lindop. It is understood that bail has been arranged for. The Y.M.C.A. Village Fair was brought to a conclusion on Saturday evening, and from a financial point of view the evening was the most successful one of the five on which the Fair was held, the sum of £lO3 being taken. 1 his is probably due to the fact that most of the goods remaining in the stalls were sold by auction by Mr J. R. Nicol. The dances in the Town Hall were witnessed by a large audience. The raffles during the evening were won by the following:—Mesdames F. A. Hosking, Cairns, Tait, Misses E. Langley, G. Greathead, Montgomery, Messrs T. B. Fox, J. D. Cruickshank, A. B. Williams, P. L. Hollings, S. Hogg, C. A. Tabuteau, W. Hornblow, Smith, H. G. Moore (small seat) and Dr. R. V. Hosking (large eight panel s°at). Mr R. Messenger was .the winner of the clock. In referring to the demands of . the Farm Labourers' Union in the South Island, at the meeting of the Masterton Branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union, on Saturday afternoon, Mr W. L. Falconer said that if the farm labourers were successful in obtaining an award in the South Island, they would soon try to secure one for the whole col ony. Their demands were absurd, and if "they were granted it would ne against the best interests of the country. For one thing they demanded too many holidays, and if they obtained them the result wouk' be that the farmers would have to place more sheep on the land, and manage with as little labour ao possible. Mr Falconer considered that it was time the farmers united to fight the issue in defence of their rights. Although he had been a . labourer himself he did not agree with the demands of the men as he considered they were too drastic. The Rev. A. 0 Williams, Superintendent of the Maori Mission, conducted a christening ceremony at the Te Ore Ore Maori pah yesterday morning. Altogether three children . were baptised, including the infant son of Simeon, a well-known Maori, . who was named:jHamai Waho. There were about 200 Maoris present from , all parts of the Wairarapa, Hawke's ', Bay, Rotorua, and Otaki. A peculiar feature of the ceremony was that the mothers of the [children baptised were dressed as brides. Thinking that the baptism was to take place in the afternoon, a large number of Masterton residents journeyed out to the pah, only to find that the proceedings were all over. To-day will be a day of general rejoicing at the ■ pah, and there will be a dance this evening. Rev. Mr Williams also conducted a service in the Maori language in St. Matthew's Church, yesterday afternoon. The attendance was large, and included the boys from the Clareville Macri College as well as a number o f . natives from Gladstone. The soloist was Mrs Te Tau, and Miss Fuller presided at the organ. The manager of the Age advertises for a lad to learn the printing trade. An advertiser requires the services !of a general servant and nurseI maid. | Special bargains in ladies'" shoes are offered by Messrs Hannah and Co. Ltd. ! The ladies of Masterton and district are invited to inspect the new '■ season's drapery, which will be on view at -Mr P. Hamill's in a few days. At 1.3? p.m. on Wednesday next, on account of Mr James O'Malley, South Road, Mr J. R. Nicol will sell the whole of his furniture and household effects without reserve.
