LOCAL AND GENERAL.

♦— : ■ The next sitting of the Wairarapa District Court will bo held in Masterton on February 27th. So far no cases have been listed for hearing. At the Police Court, yesterday morning, before Mr W. P. James, S.M., a first offender was convicted and discharged on a chargfe of drunkenness. i The Management Committee of the Aquatic Carnival will meet at the Central Fire Brigade Station to-mor-row evening to receive the report and balance-sheet in connection with the recent sports. It is not yet definitely known when Mr.E. Pawson, Clerk of the Masterton Magistrate's Court, will leave to take up his new *nagisterinl duties at Wettport. Mr M. Foley, who is to take Mr Rawson's place as Clerk of the Court, is expected to arrive in Masterton very shortly. The annual picnic in connection with the Masterton tailoring establishments will be held at Willow Park, Opaki, to-day. A number of trophies have been presented for competition, and an enjoyable outing should result. Drags will leave the Post Office for Willow Park, at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., to-dry. A youiitf Mastertonian,' who has been visiting Hawaii, has writtci to a friend in Masterton from Ban Francisco, and is loud in his denunciation of Asiatic immigration as' he saw it in Hawaii. ''lf you ever want an object lesson on Asiatic immigration," he writes, "Hawaii is the place. The immigrants are mostly Japanese. They have got control of all classes of work and trades, and the white man has to get out. The natives are an easy-going lot, and as the 'Yanks' \ have collared all their land, they have to Work or starve; but as they will only work enough to keep themselves in food and clothes, the Yankee capitalists have imported cheap yellow labour." Speaking of the AmeriI cans, the writer says that he has ' gradually developed a dislike for anything American, as the whole aim of the Americans is to get money, and their motto, "Cheapness." "American banks and finance," he remarks, "are absolutely rotten. There is no post office savings bank, but there are 'wild cat' banks on every corner.' l ' Owing to the financial crisis' none of the American banks would pay out more than 25 dollars per week to each depositor until the trouble was over, and as the writer and his friend had money in a bank they had to wait in 'Frisco, whether they liked it or not. The only bank that would pay out in full was a British institution.

Cruickshank, President of the Masterton A. and P. Association, has received the following' telegram from Captain Gathorne, A.D.C.:—"His Excellency will attend the Masterton Show on Wednesday, i 19th inst., doing it in the day from Wellington. Am unable to say at present whether Her Excellency will also come." It is not considered likely that the Vice-Regal party will remain in Masterton more than a day. A summer school for teachers interested in school agriculture work was organised at Greytown, under the supervision of Mr W. C.

"Standing room" only was announced long before the doors opened at the Town Hall last evening for the first production in Masterton of the comedy, "Brewster's Millions," by Mr J. C. Williamson's new Comedy Coifpany. The play is as delightfully reflgshing as it is a wholesome one. The plot is unorthodox, and is responsible for many humorous situations, which keep the audience thoroughly amused all through. Mr Thomas Kingston's representation of "Mj.nty Brewster" was exceedingly funny. The character was an excellent example of vivacious comedy, relieved occasionally by instances of deep and tender feeling. ,Mrs Robert Brough received a warm welcome on her appearance.' She had not a great deal to do in her part, but what was done was marked by a thoroughness which has always been a feature of Mrs Brough's acting. The other characters were 3 excellently presented. The comedy was well-staged, the yacht sfvone in the third act being particularly effective. The final stage of the competition among members of the Wairarapa Amateur Swimming Club for the trophy presented by Mr D. Caselberg took place m the public baths, last evening, when the plate diving event was decided. Thirteen plates were scattered about the bottom of. the basin. F. Phillips won with ;ten plates, J. McLean was second with five. H. Shuttleworth third with three. Mr Caselberg's trophy has now been won by F. Phillips with 4 points. H. Shuttleworth (2 points) is second.
