LOCAL AND GENERAL.

There are at present eight patients in the Buchanan Home at Greytown. There is an unprecedented demand for fat cattle in the South Island" at the present time. The Wanganui representative footballersx visited Masterton yesterday, and were ehown over the park and other places of interest. Mr F. H. Bakewell, M.A., Inspector of Schools, will deliver an address before the Teachers' Institute at Masterton on Saturday next on "Ideals of Education." At a meeting of the Wairarapa branch of the Educational Institute, to be held in Masterton on Saturday next, the Bible-in-Schools question will be discussed, and other matters of interest to the branch, including the proposed, physical training camp for teachers. A Hastings telegram states that W. Grant, of the Rovers' Kautuki Club, was disqualified for life by the Rugby subruhion for striking an opponent and threatening a referee in the match at Dannevuice. versus Old Boys, for the Hawke'sw[p Challenge Shield, played last Saturday. The District Nurse Committee met in Masterton on Tuesday, Mr E. G. .Eton -.. presiding. The treasurer's statement showed that fees received for the month amounted to £ls 14s, and there! ~was >.« credit... balance *>f £6lB 16s lOd. The question of procuring a motor cycle for the use of Nurse Jones- is under consideration.

•; > The.. Picton/ ,of . JVlarlboi ; QUgh"|Jxpfess states that Mr" W. Berb tried a case of Taranafei benzine on his lasnoh, The Campbell, with very great success. He states that it is in every way equal to the imported spirit, and will find favour with launch-owne/s. This is the first time it has been usfld in the Sounds • districts.' ' .- ; ' ■"''"" A .Raglan correspondent of the Waikato Argus writes that this is probably the earliest spring in the memory of even the oldest settlers. The yellow bloom of the kowhai is to be. seen along the coast, fruit tree* are in bloom, and the young fern is |T making an appearance. The start of vegetation is quite a month earlier than usual. ! The Prime Minister informed aJDo-' minion reporter on Sunday thatWhe Government had purchased a block" of land known as the Lynton Downs Estate, in Marlborough province, for subdivision and close settlement. The hlock lies south, of Kaikoura on the line ©f the South Island Main Trunk railway. It consists of 7000 acres of freehold and 9000 acres of Crown leasehold, which will be resumed on ishe purchase of the freehold. • ' , The Wanganui Herald, referring, to the final match for the ladies' hockey championship, which is to be played >t Wanganui to-day between Canterbury and Wairarapa, says:—There can remain little doubt in the minds of • those who have followed the matches closely as tor the winner of the final' game. The Wairarapa displaying form, should be too much for Canterbury, while the Northern team's defence should withstand any attack. Lord Kitchener, British agent in Egypt, is now in England, enjoying his* first vacation in three years. Respite his sixty-three years,, he, is said to work fifteen hours a idayi, and does practically the whole work >of the Egyptian Government' himself. His great ambition is to transform the Soudah desert into a cotton-bear-ing land, and this necessitates the building of two high dams on the Blue and White ffile above Khartoum which will cost, £5,000,000,* of which Kitchener has already secured £3,000,000 ; from t Chancellor Lloyd George.' .

A party of 100. carefully selected, girls, for domestic service in. New' Zealand, who are granted greatly re* duced passages, will-leave by the s.s.-' Corinthic from Londqn on September 11th (says Scotsman,). Work at awaits them *n arrival in New v Zealand,, and, despite the fa.et that large' numbers of girls have taken advah % tage of the Government assisted * jtessages during recent years,, there is & 9 constant demand for competent domestic servants, and recently a number were engaged by wireless, telegraph before t the steamer on which they were travelling, reached. Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. "i'ou cannot eat *y<y*f' cake and. have it," an old proverb that has* stoodi.the test of time, was brought *;to mind in the Christchurch Magistrate's Court by what appeared to be a violent effort to reverse the old order.. A cycle dealer was suing for the cost of a bicycle, when the defendant unexpectedly remarked that; the. firm had taken the bicycle. How did they take it?" asked the Magistrate. The defendant remarked that his wife had seen one of the members of the firm remove it from outside the neighbour's gate. "They will land themselves in trouble if they do that," remarked the S.M. "Sue | for goods and then seize them?*'' The case was remanded for a week to allow of inquiries being made.

THE FAMOUS STEINWAY. Mr Leonard Borwick. the distinguished pianist who recently toured the Dominion, in a letter to Messrs Steinway and Son? ,says: "I know of no pianoforte in the world to compare with your own moke in what are the essential qualities of the instrument—beauty of tone, and evenness and elasticity of touch." Paderewski writes: "Nothing new can he said of the Steinway Pianos, it is true, for they have heen justly praised by all the modern masters, and I thoroughly concur in evtty ,word that has already been said.' All who play Steinway pianos can. but thank the manufacturer." / Write to-day for partaculans' of* the famous Steinway Pianos. There are easy terms—if you wan them.

A curiosity in the shape of a white sparrow has been unearthed at Dannevirke. . A polo club has been formed in Masterton, and it is expected that by next winter the gamo will be in full swing throughout the Wairarapa. Mr W. R, Kemball, who has acted a 6 secretary of the Wairarapa Cricket Association for the past year, has tendered his resignation from that position. The quarterly meeting of the Foresters' Lodge will be held this evening. The Wellington District Officers will be present, and all members of Court Loyal Enterprise are requested to attend. A social will be held after court business. A Pahiatua .stock dealer informed an Age representative yesterday that the season in the Masterton distract is considerably ahead of that of Pahiatua. From a farming point of view, however, the season in the latter district promises to be one of the best on record. Keas are said to be plentiful onjthe stations this yeai . (reports the Kaikoura Star). On Swyncombe Estate several sheep have been attacked, one ram, valued iat four guineas, being killed, while it.is feared two or. three more will sucraiml>-iSi|fiKhft attacks of these peste. '^jJ^f A line of 174 extra heavy * prime fat ewes\ which were offered at the Solway sale in Masterton yesterday, on behalf of the Ngakonui estate, without xeservej realised 30s per head. This is s«id to be a record for. the- : Wairarapa. i The lino was purchasecl by Mr W. ; Keys, butcher, of the" ppper Hutt. .•'.;.'■ '. v'- ; ■•. \][; A district;lost a draughPhorse worth £6o] lal't week. Th«> animal was rubbing itself? against the paddock fence with its full weight against the single wire which ran through the gorse. , The? wire enapped, and the horse fell ovw the fence into the ditch on the other side, where it was so - jammed that ifcould* not. rise again.

Wairaorapa and Wanganui Rugby representatives will meet on the Carterton showgrounds this afternponv and everything points. to a close;an'd interesting game. Both teamst&re reported in good form, and froanitjie matches played . during the .season*.; the contesting teams should be very evenly matched. Mr E. McKenzie will referee the gamiß; v , ;'!!;;> A somewhat exciting ; bolt cwujcfed on the Te! Ore Ore road, near Mastertota, yesterday morning. Jhe horse attached to a spring trap shied and overtarned the vejiicl©, throwing out the, driver; It then bolted towards town. Mrs Mace, who' was driving in her- buggy, endeavoured to avoid the runaway by turning into the ford at the Waipoua river. The bolting; hocse, however, followed her, and a collision ocourred. One of "the shafts of Mrs Mace's biiggy was broken, but otnerwise little damage was done. , ' :

- Eeferring to the hockey match between Wairarspa and Wellington, in which the- former won by thiee goal i to one,, the Wanganui Herald says.— v The better team undoubtedly ..won. Wairaraipa have not previously been extended, having won all their matches by a comfortable zrargin, but in this Wellington made theto go all the way, the consequence being that Wairarana '^kened[ s6r", and showed l splendid from. It* js 'doubtful if a weak pointcould be, found in the team. . Miss. Nielsen, Miss Z.i Hum? phiriea, Miss ;orr; and* Miss'■ ■ Terry,;, however, should be specialiy mention.-, ed as playing first-lass games. ■ \ .; '■■, Actuated' by the thought of Christ-, mas and ijolidays, the Young Wb-» men's Christian Association in Dunedin has oranglsed a holiday savings club in all the large business The scheme has evidently met with favour, for already between 150 and 200 have joined, and more have expressed their desire to join. The id-, eal of. this club ii saving iu small instalments. : Any sum, is accepted from. Id up to £lO. When any .girl's cccount reaches this amount she must draw it out and deposit it in her own name.. All the money is paid out a week before Christmas, to be used for holidays or to be transferred directly to the girl's own banking account.. Nearly £l6 iVlhe united total of small amounts banked as the result v of a> week's effort. ,! ' • A meeting of &e Agricultural Committee of the iMasterton A. and P. Association was held yesterday afternoon for the- purf&e <|f meeting Mr A. deßayliss, of the Agricultural De■l>«rtmeirh.* Mr D, McGregor presidand there were also present Messrs Hi Evans,. J. T. Dagg, A J. v J B/ G. Shaw4i Mr Bayhss stated that as far as-ex| penments in grain went, the season was now. too far for'anything to be done in this direction this - season. It was, however, possible to arrange manurial production of seed, • and; variety tests, which could be canned' out on five acres of land. The Department would provide seed and manure for one acre, and the experimenters, would require to find the balance.. Any class of seed could be utilised. Grass, tests might be made plots- of one-eighth of ah acre for eachi variety. On the motion of Mr Pteey,, it was decided that it be a recommendation to the Ground Commit-tee-that two acres of ground at Solway be put aside for the purpose of experiments in grass seeds. Mr BayMiss also suggested the carrying out of experiments on five acres of swedes., one acre for each plot, with' the previour.year's bulbs. The committee, he said, should make an endeavour .to have the various plots periodically inspected in order to maintain'the interest. A motion was carried in favour of the association procuring an area of land for the purpose of conducting "group"- experiments. Mr Bayliss gave many valuable hints regarding the cajrying-out of experiments, and a vote, of thanks to him for attending concluded the meeting.
