Owing to the severity of the weather' only 14 members attended''the'ordinary meeting of the Featherston Mutual Improvement ■ and Debating Society on Tuesday last, and in consequence of the paucity ot the attendance, Mr Tuckey's debate on the Chinese question was post-, pone'd utltil next meeting.

The first performance of the Greytown Volunteer Christy Minstrols will take place in about a fortnight's time, The 'entertainment is for the benefit of Volunteer Smith, who has been ill for some time past with rheumatic fever. We are pleased to hear that the proceeds are to bo devoted.to such a charitable object, and we hope the public will reward the niggers with a bumper house on their opening night. The members of the Christy Corps are requested to meet at the Working Mens' Club on Saturday evening next, at 7.30 Bharp.

The Masterton Winter Evening Entertainment attracted a full house last evening in spite of all the wretched weather, and a good programme was iisain successfully gone through. -Mrs Paigo. presiding at the piano, Miss Morison opened the proceedings by a skilfully executed, pianoforte solo, which was followed by the choir with the glee "Daughter of Error,"'which was well rendered though occasionally some of the -voices did - not quite harmonise; Mr Bish's song "Sweet Madeline" was greatly applauded, being well sung, Miss Yates' sang "To the Woods," but nervousness evidently prevented her giving her voice (which is a.very sweet one) fair play, ■ Her song was received with applause. Mr'- J. V. Smith gave the "Soldier's Farewell" in such good style that he was-compelled to respond to an encore, giving ',' Far on the Deep Blue Sea" with equal success. .A duet then followed by the' Misses Eockels, in which the voices blended perfectly, and the effort met with merited applause.' A reading by Mr Skipper, "My lost Youth," (Longfellow), was a good piece of elocution; and met with great favor at the hands of the audience. It fell to the fortune of Mr Todd, who is a recent arrivalin Masterton, to achieve the greatest triumph of the evening, which he did by his excellent rendering of,"The Midshipmite,". He was enthusiastically encored, and gave " The'Arab'Steed " in response, which was greatly applauded. Messrs Bentley Bros.' cornet duet was hardly a success, from their excessive nervousness at the commencement, but the latter portion of it was skilfully executed, and met with considerable applause. A reading by Mr DeCastro, "The Irish Emigrant's Lament," was given with expression, and and well received, Mrs Freeth's song] which followed—" Love Not"—being also greatly appluded, A very pleasing duet (piano and harmonium), was given by Misses Morrison'and Anderson which was so successful that the audience demanded a repetition, which was complied with, and received hearty applause. Mr Smart's •'Honest Man" found favor, and was enthusiastically applauded. - Mr Dalrymple's reading of "How' Mrs Young obtained the. Bide-board," was well rendered in broad Scotch,;and Miss.Rockelcharmed the audience with "EverofThee" receiving hearty expressions'.of approbation, Mrs Parsons gave "Marguerita" very, 'tastefully, and the song was well received; arid.appreciated. Mr' Girdelstone was; to have,sung but was apologised, for haying K,bad cold, Messrs Moore and 'Stevenson were also on the programme butythe.' iricleme'nt '.-weather prevented thW-Attendance. A very good song-. ''The'Wreck," was given by Mr Todd arid en thusias tiealiy. applauded, when the - choir, igave .''AngeW'; in ; good ■- style, though we,do.hot think the substitutionof,the harmonium'for the paiuo.;ih'.;theaccompaniment was an improvement,. God save the Queen brought another successful evening to a close,

-jl'l'lie- present wet weather set in on St. -Swibhin'B day, Tliis, according to bid superstition, .means a month's rain.
