Mr and Mrs Hart in'another column announce their programme for Monday and Tuesday next. . They will be assisted by La Petite Louise and Mr Henry Baker. These artistes are so favoraby known in this [district that any recommendation 3n our part is superfluous. A new denominational organ is about to be started, namely, the New Zealand Baptist. It is contemplated to make it a monthly publication, and it will be published in Ohristchurch, The New Zealand Herald is responsible for stating that "young Redwood," who :ode Ladybird in the Champion race some ■wenty years ago, is now the Roman Catholic Bishop of Wellington. In a very short while New Zealand will >e favored with a visit from the Austraian Eleven, a telegram having been reseived at Duuedin, from their agent, iccepting the terms offered by the New Zealand Cricket Clubs. The Masterton Opak'i Jockey Club lave decided upon allowing the totalisator ,t the race meeting December 7th. The nachine will be that of ..Hill and Pool fhich was used at the Wellington Spring ueeting, Mr R.

So far the experiment has been ir thoroughly successful. ut At the nomination for a Councillor for e the Masterton Riding of Wairarapa West e County, Mr Duncan McGregor was the t only candidate proposed, and consequently e he was declared duly elected. The absence of a contest on this occasion has shown that public feeling was thoroughly 8 with Mr McGregor in the late action . brought against him in tho R. M, Court, 1 and that lie retains the full confidence of . the ratepayers. ~ . What may be well; considered a hasty i marriage was celebrated by the registrar j not a hundred miles from Greyiown on { Friday, A station hand from the coast, who had been Btay'ing at a certain hote 1 [ or a day or two, was smitten with the ; housemaid-proposed-was accepted—- : bought the ring—and was married. Rumor s is cruel enough to say the parties had not spoken to each other thirty-six hours pre- , viously, May they have much happiness, . and never experience the old sw, '• marry in haste and repent," #b, , The youngest brother of Mr J. Harvey, of the Camp, a lad about 16 years of age, died yesterday from a somewhat -.unusual cause. A few days ago a sheep struck him in the side and at first he paid little attention to the blow, as he regarded it its a small matter, Soon, however, delirium and other symptoms of a serious illness became apparent, and it was found that the blow from the sheep had injured the ' chest and caused internal hemorrhage. Medical aid was obtained, but it was unavailing to save the poor lad. j Wairarapa visitors to the Circus and ' .Menagerie now in Wellingson speak in 1 high terms of the the Show. 1 Many who were disappointed on Tuesday evening through the wind being too high - to erect the tent, waited till'the following 1 night, and say that what they saw well 1 repaid them for the loss of time. The ' circus is doing a great business in Wei- 1 lington, and will probably take a large f sum of money out of the place. ' "<3 Messrs 0. Pownalj and Co., scriveners, report considerable, transactions during & the past month at somewhat reduced " rates. Some large amounts of outside ut iapital having been placed at per cent., I principally, however, in the transference n of mortgages, previously contracted for si upon higher terms. The value of a money' for investment inay pff be *>' quoted from 7| to g per cent interest, tl with few - direct applications offering,- w Mortgagees being still too muclvliampered -0' by the low valuations, .and large margins « in many cases unnecessarily demanded, o 1 Our horticultural and pastoral' societies p' offer encouragement to excel'in flowers, st vegetables, dairy produce, and sundries, & but as yet have not considered the feasi- tl bility of offering some inducement for the a improvement of poultry. : The Greytown -ot Bociety. made one slight step in this direc- to ti.on by adding a prize for the best twelve 1 a hens eggs. We jiavp seen an ejfhibjtjop of poultry, canaries. &c„ dovetail in with' cr considerable advantage to the society in oh atlier colonies, and think the suggestion is ivortli considering liore. Many persons are ft' is proud of their pet Brahmas and dork- CI ngs as others are of their fuchias and ex jelagoniums, and we believe the Waira- us apa.posaeaaes a good many who taken stt ively interest in poultry Japing. —;

K . Tuesday next being proclaimed a public il holiday at Masterton, the Wairakapa ut Daily will not be published on that day, if , To-day is the pay day of the Masterton e Building Society. d Mr Rose, the Inspector of Post Offices, 0' passed through Masterton yesterday, en 1 route for Napier. - v r We trust to see a good attendance at y the Wairarapa Caledonian meeting to be j held.this evening at the Club Hotel. 0-.

Lee, arohitect, fo r additions to a cottage on Belvedere Road. Carterton; plans to be seen at Mr Wol* ters 1 office, Carterton. The usual monthly meeting of the Wairarapa West County will not be held on Thursday next. The Council will not meet again till January. ■Mr John Macara'a horse Petruchio, one '. of the most promising horses on the Opaki 1 1 course, will probably be scratched for; Tuesday next, having met with an accident while training. Wo would call particular attention to J, lorns & Co, 's sale of horses on Wednesday next. It will be seen by his announcer men.t that he will sell some of Mr T. t. Thompson's well-known horses from' To Ore Ore, also a pair of beautiful fast trotting buggy ponies, and several of the horses entered for the Opaki races. The 1.30 train from Masterton yesterday had a good load by the time it reached Carterton, having, taken on three trucks of sawn timber from Mr Corpe's mill at Clareville, and a similar number from Booth and Co.'s mill at Taratahi. , The timber was chiefly white pine, and comprised matched boards, scantlings, etc. The six trucks held about 35,000 feet. A considerable amount of timber is bein» sent out by these two mills at present" ■ but we understand it is principally for. export. We have been shown a sample of coal taken from the Featherston coal reef, and | as far as we can judge it is of very fair ' qualty, If it oan be obtained in any , quantity an important industry will spring up in Featherston which, will benefit the Wairarapa generally. We believe the j people of Featherston have subscribed i a sufficient sum to have the ground j thoroughly tested, and great hopes. are entertained of a successful result, ~A.-( sample of the coal may be seen at this , office'. ■ .. • _ -: *j There-was a fair muster on the Opaki 3 this morning,, Mr Winteringham gave ; War and Model good gallops, : Mr Drum- ' mond's, Senorita went round in good form, f and Mr Macara's Treasurer did his two 1 miles steadily. Mr McCarthy's Barbara c also showed up well. The coming racea e aro now exciting a good deal of interest, t In the Hurdle race, Angler-if staunch at t the Hurdles-should be to the front. .If -r not, Kangaroo will probably carry oil the s money. Ada, however, 1 has many I backers, In the Produce race thoro are c too many dark horses, to speak, with any 1 certainty; of the known ones, Mr.Macara's " Treasurer is the safest. It is difficult to « anticipate the result of the Opaki Stakes g Handicap, Augler, if scratched-for the n Hurdles, ought to stand a good show ; tl Bluejacket is also a likely horse to find a h place, and Shamrock is a still goer, ti Senorita, if in better condition, would be If in the front; altogether-avery close race e: may be looked for. Now that Petruchio ti is sure to be scratched, the Maiden Plate rc should be a pretty sure thing for Mr Ray's is Comus, D ,
