Court held at Featherston yesterday the Registrar objected to C 5 names on the 'electoral roll,' and in eacli case the objection was sustained and the name struck off. • We would remind lovers of the drama .thatthe plan of reserved seats'for the Dramatic Club's Entertainment' on Friday next is at Mr T.

Mr Thos. D'Arcy has- been appointed travelling agent for Messrs Bacon ami Wrigley'B Waipoua stoam mills. .Some new oat-crushing machinery has just been introduced into these mills, which enables the firm to crush oats in a better manner than could previously be done.. Mr Scholes, storekeeper/of Bideford, has filed his schedule, Some sympathy will probably be felt in this case, as a domestic bereavement a short time ago tended to embarrass his affairs,

At the R. M. Court, Featherston, yesterday, W. Cundy, C. Cundy, W. Abbott, and W, Hitenian were each fined for having failed to register dogs in their possession.

The Garrick Club held a most successful rehearsal last evening, and both pieces were gone through in a satisfactory manner. Mrs Palmer has been specially engaged to take charge of the musical arrangements, and under her able guidance the various sonjs and " morceaux" incidental to the piece showed a marked improvement. The Club had a trial of its resources by the sudden defection of one of its members who was to have played a leading character; however, the vacancy has been filled, and we are told the cast has been considerably improved thereby.

Members of the Masterton-Opaki Jockey _ Club are not talcing as much active interest in its management this year as they have mi former occasions. They appear to be so well satisfied with the efforts of tlio President, Secretary, and the few who do work that they do not trouble themselves with a thought for the Club's welfare. We would point out that new members would be induced to join if they saw the old ones taking a more enthusiastic interest in its affairs, and tradesmen and others interested in the race meeting would he more likely to subscribe liberally towards the funds of the Club. Now that it is decided to have two days' racing, we hope to see members throw some little life into the affair and determine to sustain the credit of their institution,

The Church parailo of the Greytown Volunteers was very well attended on Sunday morning, Captain Tully being in comiiminj, Lieut, Cameron and Sub-Lieut. Avery being also present. The Company fell in at the Post Office, and headed by the band, marched to St Luke's Church, where divine seivice was conducted by the Hon. Chaplain Eov H. V. White. Alter service they marched back and were dismissed by the Captain. The Inspection parade.of the Corps will be held this evening, after which the Quadrille Corp will hold.their usual dance. Another riotous meeting of the Clareville School Committee was held at the schoolhouse on Saturday night, the proceedings being generally uf a vituperative nature. The recolutiotis passed were the confirmation of the minutes of the previous meeting on the casting vote of the chairman, the adoption of the compulsory clauses of the Act, and that was all. The meeting extended from 7.30 to 10.80 p.m. Although a resolution that the press be requested to attend all meetings of the Committee and that the Chairman give notice of the meetings convened to the local representative of the Valley papers was passed some months since, no such notice was received by our correspondent of last Saturday's convocation, ' I

A meeting of the parishioners of St. Mark's Parish, Carterton, announced from the pulpit on Saturday last, was held in the Sunday-school' room on Saturday, and although the attendance was small, it represented the most energetic of the parishioners where church matters are concerned. The chair was occupied by Mr R, Fairbrothar, sen., and the only resolutions passed were to ascertarn if it was in consonance with thefeeling of the Rev W. T. Western, the incoming incumbent, to meet .bis parishioners at a public reception on such a as he might, if accepting the proposition, approve, and in the event of 1# agreeing to the foregoing proposition, the, appointment of a committee to carry out all necessary arrangements,' A vestry meeting was subsequently held, Mr Fairbrother (in the absence of the Rev H. Vere White) occupying the chair, when questions of finance/were discussed aud instructions given to the lay representative to the Synod, Mr A. Armstrong, as to parochial matters generally. The meeting broke up shortly after 6 o'clock.

The lady-is a very dark brunette ; some •people declare that her exalted Spanish blood gives the olive tint to her cheek and the graceful languor to her figure which were both bo much admired. That her attire was however fresh from the handii oi Worth was evident to every female connoisseur on the ground, it was a dress made sacque fashion, the material a rich satin of Spanish brown, lined with orange colored silk, A belt of shining gold, studded with jewels, encircled the waist and the parasol carried .by the lady.was -composed entirely of natural flowers, " Who is she'(" 'was the whispered question bandied from one .to the other amongst the comppny, and .even from the Eoyal stand was it uttered .without meeting a satisfactory reply. Long before the race was concluded and ..the. company dispersed, the lady had departed with her escort, leaving the inquirers as much in the dark as'to her •identity as ever. ,• It .is. a fact that Messrs Gardener and Sou .sold-last : season more sheep shears than the whole of the Wairarapa storekeepers combined, ami this season it is their intention to offer the 100 dozen pairs which.they have imported at.less than Wellington wholesale prices, Wo cannot understand how this well-known firm 'sell all their goods so wonderfully cheap Their stock is splendidly assorted, and we would call special attention to their ma"nificent stock of drapery, which surpasses any we have yet seen in the Wairarapa. —[Advt.|
