We observe that the' Groytown Lands Trustees have, subject to a reference to their solicitor, reserved a portion of their, town belt for recreation purposes. As Masterton possesses a half'interest in this block, it it evidentthat -the. Greytpwn Trust has taken,.or is trying to take, an to compel the Greytown Trustees to let the whole of the town belt at its'full' market value, and in a court of equity there can be no doubt that the Mnsterton 1 Trustees could obtain the necessary' powers to enforce the right' which

it possesses. The only .alternative is for Greytown to buy out the interest of Masterton in the block, and this is one we trust yet to see adopted, Mr Wardell, R.M., sits at Carterton today. The annual parish meeting ■ of St Matthew's Church takes place this evening. The Masterton School Committee hold their regular monthly meeting this evening. F. H. Wood k Co. hold a stock sale tomorrow at the Pastoral Societies yards, Carterton. Despite the wind and rain yesterday, there was a large attendance at the Auction sale of the furniture and effects of Dr Smith, held by P. H. Wood & Co., at Greytown. The bidding was spirited throughout, and fair prices were realised Amongst other things sold was a cow and calf which fetched .£7 5s bought by Mr Kimberley of Platform Farm. The Greytown firebell rang out its pealing note of alarm about G o'clock last evening which was the moans of a great many of the inhabitants leaving their warm firesides, and run out into the raiii to ascertain the cause of the "tintinabulation". It turned out to be one of t'-.e chimneys of the Forester's Arms on fire the flames of which leapt several feet above the brickwork. It was put out after a (leal of trouble by someone getting on top of the Hotel. The Lydia Howard Burlesquo Troupe liave filtorecl their night of performance in Greytown from this evening to Friday evening 22nd, Tho piece chosen fori representation is Colville's musical extravaganza " Robinson Crusoe" in which Miss Lydia Howard takes the title role, mrlas she is supported by several well known artists, the people of Greytown will have an opportunity of seeing and aearing a first-class company; we hope :o hear of a crowded house on Friday ivening, as from the reputation they have gained they are deserving of one. The lerformance will conclude with a I'urletta. entitled Swiss Swain.
