Amongst the other business, we understand that arrangements will be made for playing an inter-union match and several outside matches. We notice that the Postal authorities are about to commence the additions to the Hamilton office, and that the timber for the work is now on the ground. It teems a great pity that the Department while at the work cannot see its way to erect an entirely new building instead of bolstering up an old structure, which is fare to require constant repairs. Another public office which requires attention i 3 the Hamilton Railway Station, which is a wretched looking shanty, and by no means adequate f.jr the requirements of one of the most important stations this side of Auckland.

The Cambridge Band of Hope held an open meeting in the Oddfellows' Hall, on Monday evening, when Mr J. K. Peirce occupied the chair.

Jarrett ; recitation, " What Does It Mean," Miss P. Reeve ; reading, " Bottles," Mr F. O'Toole ; song, " Maid of the Mill," Miss Peterson ; address, Rev. Cmnell ; recitation, " Hurrah for Prohibition," Miss McMahon. Several hymns were also sung, and on the whole the meeting may be considered a very succesvful one.

In another column will be found the announcement of the concert to be tendered to the conductor of the Cambridge Orchestral Society ou Wednesday next, lu addition to rive popular, yet high-class, selections by the orchestra, which will be considerably augmented by leading Auckland and Hamikou musicians!, there will be solos by the Misses Whitelaw and Holland. These gifted instrumentalists stand in the very front rank ot Auckland musicians, aud the first-named lady is about to leave for England to resume her studies at the Royal College of Music, so that this will be the last chance of hearing the talented violiniste for at least three years. Mr Fred. Lloyd's humorous soncs will be keenly enjoyed by the Cambridge people, who have not forgotten that gentleman's most welcome contributions at the last orchestral concert. Tl.e other ladies and gentlemen astisting are established favourites, and a glance at the programme, which will be circulated this week, will show that it is one of the best ever presented to the music-loviug public of Cambridge.
