At Wellington the League match between Auckland and Wellington was won by Wellington by 33 points to 18. The Masterton park, wbjcli presents, at the present time a very bright anjd pleasing appearance, was patronised by large numbers of townspeople yesterday. The popularity of our beautiful domain would appear to increase each season. Mr Duncan McGregor delivered an address at the Y.M.C.A. strangers' tea in Masterton last evening on "Ideal Citizenship." Mr D. Grant presided, audi a vete of thanks was passed to the ladies of the Congregational Church for providing tea. The Wellington and Wairarapa football teams were entertained by the Wairarapa Rugby Union after Saturday's match at a dinner in the Club Hotel. Mr D. K. Logan, president, occupied the chair, and officials of both .unions were also present. When the excelle.it dinner provided by Host Crass was disposed of a number of toasts were honoured. Owing to the visitors leaving by the evening train for Wellington proceedings were curtailed considerably. IT IS THE FESOLVE to obtain- the GENUINE EUOALYPTT EXTRACT which will procure for you a remedy of sterling value and will protect you r rom having your health injured by one of the many cru|e oils and so-called "Extracts/' which are passed off by unscrupulous dealers aB "jua*»as good,".and which are according to authentic medical testimony very depressing to the heart. The EXTRACT is absolutely non-injurious and brings instantaneous relief in headaches, fever, colds, bronchial and gastrio affections, and its grelt antiseptic powers protect from future infection. Wounds, ulcers, burns, sprains are healed without inflammation. SANDER'S EXTRACT is endorsed by the highest medical authorities, and is unique in its effect; purity, reliability, and safety are its <%• tineuishing qualities.

The special services in connection, with St. Matthew's new Church in Masterton were concluded yesterday, when the pulpit was occupied by the Rov. A. M. Johnson, of Wellington.

During the first nine months of this year ten bankruptcies have been recorded, as against 4»ne for the same period! last year. The "skirl p' the pipes" by half-a-dozen members of the Masterton Pipe Band, who accompanied the "Geisha" performers to' Martinbdrough, was, according to the local paper, very much appreciated 4>y the "Macs" of that district. "Eh, mon, Jock, -it was rale gran'," was one remarkovdrheard. During the past season over 20,000 cows, purebred and crossbred, members of ordinary .dairy herds, were tested in New Zealand,, while elver* 300 pedigree cOws were officially tested ill connection with the register of merit scheme by officers of the Agricultural Department: ■-'■;■• A* man named Michael Martin has been remanded to appear in, the JUagistrate's Court at, Masterton this morning on a charge of having assaulted a young woman inf WorksoproaiaV on the evening pf September !t3th,, It is alleged that the accused hollowed the young woman down the street and placed -his arm round her waist. - - '.■':•' . New Zealand seed-merchants, "it is stated, have purchased virtually the whole of the European output of eilver-beet seed. Tnis sudden demand has come as a great surprise, to European /growers, !who hitherto have restricted their trade to the production of seed for markefcgardening purposes; A considerable area is being put down, in silver-beet ~ in the Wairarapa this season.

That there is a certain amount oi* danger attached to the tying up of horses to kerfaing posts was evidenced in Masterton on Saturday afternoon, when a child was rather badly kicked while attempting to pass by an. animal tied up in this way. <The unfortunate childi received the horse's two heels in the region of the stomach, and was rendered unconscious for some time. On being examined, it was found that he had no bones broken. . . Writing in this month's Journal of Agriculture, Mr-T. W. Kirk says:— "It has several times come under the notice of the apiary officers of the department that persons have attempted to sell Eives of bees which are infested with disease. It is desired to impress upon all bee-keepers the fact that any person selling diseased bees is liable to a penalty of £5. Persons desirous of selling their bees are advised to apply to the apiary instructor for the district, and obtain his certificate before doing so." During the process of a case in which a resident was charged with being found drunk in a railway carriage, heard at Eketahuna on Friday, one of the presiding justices asked a witness, a railway guard, if it was net an oifence on the part of the officials to permit a drunken man to board a train. The guard admitted it was, but stated it was almost impossible under existing conditions to avert it. "Men by the dozen," he said, "get into the Mas-; terton train at Carterton in a state of intoxication, and they cannot be prevented, as they hold a return ticket, and their condition is not detected until the train has started. The same thing happens at Pahia,'tua. Their condition is not seen by the stationmaster, a» he does not issue them tickets." BROADWOCD! SONISOHI LIPP!
