The meeting then adjourned, Professor Lichtwark, the horse-tamer, gave a lesson bofore his Maslerton class yesterday afternoon. A couple of horses were brought, down for the occasion from Mr James Macara's farm, one of which was an unbroken colt, the other an old rogue who bit, and kicked, and appeared to bo irreclaimably vicious. The oolt turned out to be a good tempered animal, and the Professor with very little trouble waß able in a very few minutes to make it his obedient humble servant. The old horse was a tougher customer, and afforded the class an excellent idea of tho Professor's methods in dealing with refractory animals. After about an hour's interview between the lamer and the stubborn brute it was evident that the latter had come to tho conclusion that the former was its muster and had to ho obeyed. The lesson conveyed by the treatment of this auimal was extremely valuable as it illustrated ihe best methods of dealing with the most common and objectionable vices of horses. ; The Pro feasor deserves a larger class than he obtained on this occasion, and we hope to see more settlers taking advantage of any future lessons he may give.

Messrs Hesford and Wilkinson sustained, in conjunction with Miss Crawford and Miss Amy Johns, the principal chaiacters and succeeded throughout lbs piece in eliciting smiles and tears in succession from tho spectators. The- Maslerton String Band also assisted the piece by playing a brilliant overture in excellent time and tune. List evening's entertain ment was announced to be for the benefit of the Masterton Hospital, but as tho receipa at the door did not cover the working expenses no margin is, we understand, available for that institution,

A Mormon emissary lias been at work at the Waingawa pah, and lias succeeded in making many converts. On Saturday last he held a baptismal service in the river, and dipped some twenty men, women, and children. The first to bo immersed was a big. burly chief, who is about the largest man in the Wairarapa. The Elder, nothing duunted, gripped the giant firmly by the neck and pulled him under the water. The scene, as described by an eye-witneas, was a somewhat grotesque exhibition. Oue of our numerous roaders, being of an inquiring turn of mind, says that ho has tried every drapery and olothing establishment in the Wairarapa for the purpose of finding out who keeps the best stuff and sells the cheapest, He says he has had considerable experience in the drapery trade, therefore considers himself a competent.judge. He gives his opinion in favor of L. J. Hooper & Co., of the Bon Marche* Warehouse, who, he states, has a, larger and better etook to choose from than any country store in New Zealand, and fit for any town in the colony.—Advt,

We must request some of our local advertisers to bear in mind that it is unreasonable for them to expect us to be continually altering their advertisements, e«pceially at the present time. G.
