LOCAL AND GENERAL

I Indications point to this season's 1 lambing producing now records. Mr I). Shocsmith conducted a service at Sol way last evening. . Fish are stated to bo very plentiful in Napier waters this season. iThero are' at present twenty-iive patients in the Masterton Hospital. , Several severe frosts were experi--1 onced. in the Tinnuu district lart | month. i T!ho last return from the Worksop dredge was 80oz lodivt for 120 hours' working. T'iie greatest opposition is being shown in the Wairoa district to ttie stoppage of work on the Napier-Gis-i borne railway. The entries for the Hawke's Bay / spring show-total 2149. The sheep, I cattle and horse sections are parti- ( cuktrly strong. A Dunedin telegram states that Mary Ann. Farmer, aged o-3 years, dropped dvv.d on Saturday morning. I A few weeks ago she complained of \ pains in Iter chest. I A number of open-air and inside "strike" meetings were held at Wellington yesterday, when numerous threats were made. Next Sunday afternoon the Masterton Son-tii B;;ass Band will plav at tiie So I way Old Men's Home, "weather permitting. The crickcit season will commence shortly in Mas<terton. It is not anticipated thaf the game will be as strong as it was last season. While working in the, bush at Tiratu, near D:\nr.evirke. a married man named James Hannen was , struck by a hg, and sustained a fracl ture of the leg. ' • No trace ha.s yet been found of the Cingalese Eastin Christian, who disappeared from Castlepoint a fe.v days back, and is thought to have been , drowned. ■ The past few months have been the wettest experienced in Southland for many years. Ploughing operations j are at a standstill, and will be conj siderably belated as compared with / past seasons. Masterton sportsmen consider that rabbit* in\ the surrounding district are considerably diminished since last year. It is believed that the very wet winter was responsible for a heavy mortality amongst the rabbits. A young man named Edwin Fit/--gera'ld, while driving into Masterton on Saturday, was thrown out, and when found was in an .unconscious condition. He was taken to the Masterton Hospital for medical treatment. Last evening he showed signs of improvement. I There was a huge attendance of ■ young men at the Masterton j Y.M.C.A. last evening. An excellent address was delivered by Mr V. W. Temple, his subject being "True Manhood." A.vote of thanks was accorded the ladies of St.. Mattluw's Church, who provided the edibles.

The Masterton Homing Pigeon Club held a race on Saturday from Cliristchurcli. A large number of birds were entered, but owing t."> tiie unfavourable weather condition the only bird to arrive home on Saturday was Mr J. Dixon's "Sunbonnot." The other birds to gain places were Mr F. Keen's "Mustard," second, Mr F. Rosson's "Brick," third, and Mr W. Dowling's "Liberty" fourth. Some idea of the value of the dairying industry in the Pahiatua district may bo gleaned from a return supplied to a Herald representative by Mr R. Robinson, a Konjni settler, during the month of August. Mr Robinson started, the month with 10 cows and finished with 3-5. taking n cheque for .C")2 1-ls 3d for butter fat supplied. Tin's return, is said to be a record for some miles round, and is all. the more exceptional when the ] unseasonable weather experienced i during August is taken into consid- j oration. The cows were fed mostly I on young grass and a few green oats. ! IF YOU HAVE A Ooueh, Uoict, Nose, inroai oj i Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, o* Liver Complaint. Rheumatism, Neu ralgia. Use SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT: 5 drops in a tab)©spoon water. R-emember, you canuol expect the good effects from any sort of eucalyptus. Sander's Extract cures because it contains ethe real and antiseptic substances nol contained in other Eucalyptus products. These latter, made by personf ignorant in chemistry, and provided with fancy nameß and labels by trading concerns who do not know' wha< they contain, have grievow harm, and a daath has resulted from their use. Do not apply an ointment' to a sore. It keeps back the secre tion. To wounds, hruises, sprains burns, ulcers, eczema, and other skir troubles, Apply Candor's Extract; If drops in a tablespoon of olive oil The effect will surprise you. Sand er'B Extract Heals because it is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other encalyptua preparations. I* heals! when others irritate.

The fact is that the road has received a coating of metal in the vicinity of I Gladstone, which renders the road not (very suitable for motor traffic. "We. have now. to decide whether we shall have whisky or music at the races," said the president of the Masterton Racing Club on Saturday last. "I'm not very fond of music," dryly remarked one of the stewards. Satisfactory train arrangements have been made for the Masterton race meeting, to be held on October 17th.
