At the official declaration of the Peninsula poll on Wednesday, Bishop Moran, .after ssyint; that he had in coming out, been enabled to protest in an emphstio and solemn way against the injustice done to Catholios in the matter of education, went on to say he had also another object in view. It was subsidiary, but for all that it wai an object, apd his experience had taught him that one of the most active and deadily enemies to the Catholics for juaUca had been .the party one of the candidates represented, and it struck him that it might be in his power by a little adroit- management to contribute very largely to their defeat, and he was very happy to say that in this also he had been successful (Applause). That party had been igominiouely put to flight. He did not know that he had anything more to say except this: The Peninsula electors might suppose they had inflicted a previous defeat on him. If suoh were the case they labored under a mistake. He never hoped to be at the head of the poll, or to occupy a high plaee on it, He entered as a candidate to do simply what he had told them already, and in doing that he had succeeded. The result of the poll made no difference in his attitude towards the question. He would persevere in his agitation, and the only difference they would find would bo that he would be more vigorous, and more energetio than ever (Applause). The injustice done to Catholics was so gross, and the tyranny so great that he would persevere and raise his voice in season and out of season, in the Press and out of the Press, on the public platform, and in every manner possible, against the gross and grovious injustice; and he would publish lo tho whole world that the citizens of New Zealand refused to give those coming from the Old Country that amount of justice and euuality which they enjoyed in their own homes (Loud applause). The usual fortnightly meeting of the Waste Land Board wu held at noon yesterday, aud was attended by Messrs. J.G. Holdawortli (Chairman), T, Maion, A schedule of lands sold since last meeting Bhowed that a 147 acres 1 rood arid 8 perches had been disposed of, for which £221 2s 6d had been The Chairman reported that Mr. Henry Alfred Wilson, the seleotor of seolion -10, block XI., Mangaone District, had failed to pay four overdue instalments or improve his holding. Correspondence on the subject was read, and after some discussion it was_ resolved that Mr. Wilson should again be written to and informed that unless the .amount due iB not paid within a month, his licence will be cancelled. The Chairman read correspondence which had been passed between himself and Messrs Harinan and Stevens, in in reference to the transfer of & section held on deferred payment lo an absentee-, a client of that firm.

The Committee of tho Mastortoa swimming Club was held last evening, and drafted rules. A programme was alio arranged for the forthcoming tournament on St. Valentine's Day. Among the events are several, which are amusing ind novel. The list will be published tomorrow. We believe the Committee intend providing seats near' the water for lady visitors to the sports, ai on (he last occasion they had to take up their position too far'off to witness the diving, &a., with any degree af satisfaction. Competitors will appear in bathing costume whioh is to consist of trunk, pants, and and none will be allowed to enter without this dress. It was also proposed to ask Sergt. Price to allow a member of the police force to be present, It- was decided to obtain the consent of the Mayor and Borough Councillors to hold the tournament under their patronage. Letters were read from Messrs "W, H. Beetham, and A, R Bunny, consenting to aot as President and Vice President respectively; and it was decided that they should aot as the Judges at the tournament; Mr A. Bish, to be asked to aot as timekeeper, Mr Worth starter, and Messrs DeCastro, Elkins, and Hopg, handicappers, The day obosen for the sports is a convenient one for most peeple, being on a Wednesday and it seems to have been left to the Masterton Swimming Club to make some pr&clloal use of St, Valentine, by chosing his" day" for b half holiday for the pur- • poae of encouraging the development of an art which is of great importance from many points of view.

The name of Mr T, Thompson, late mine host of. the Taueru Hotel, has always been associated with enterprise, and everyone knows that the big building whioh is now being constructed near the Prince of Wales Hotel owes its origin to him. This struoture is the longest if not the broadest edifice in the town, and will in about a fortnight's time be ready for opening as a horse repository. The aeoommodation it will afford is superior to anything yet attempted in the Wairarapa. A oovered passage a hundred feet long and twenty feet wide leads from the footpath in Queen St, and on either side of it are arranged roomy and convenient stalls for a score of horses and half a dozen loose boxes,for an additional number. Commodious offices and harness rooms form part of the plan, and a huge left capable of sustaining any weight of oorn is npheld by strong timbers. The whole of the giant structure is covered with iron so that the risk of fire is reduced to a minimum, and thf floors of the stalls are constructed pf subitautial white pine planks, The repository when completed will be one of the show- places in Masterton, and as it will be conducted under the personal .superintendence of Mr Thompson it.may bo expected to do a big trade. To Mr Cleshorn, the guilder, is due the credit of designing, as well as obstructing, one of the most commodious, substantial, and woll .'arranged buildings we have yet seen.

The improvements effected ot lato years in Mies' comets have been very great, and strikingly beneficial to health. Foremost among these for their peculiar excellences are Rosenthal's sanitaire and Dr Warner's coraline corsets. The former is oonstruot'ed to obviate the debilitating effects of the ordinary corsetsby relieving the delicate and and vital organs from damaging pressure, while still affording a healthful and .comfortable support- to the wearer. • The support to the figure w property distributed, and -the. distressing effects of tight-lacing uotra|i|«d, l)r, Warner's coraline corset fi boned wjtb a new Bubstanoa, whioji it vastly superior to horn or whalebone.
