The amount received by the sale of Tickets at the late Druids Fes'iyal and soiree, Carterton, reaches the handsome sum of £34, to which must be added about £lO worth of donations towards the refreshments.

Cookery has given up as untameable. Those who know Mr Cockery can form a pretty good idea of what this means, Mr Dewe has been thoroughly successful wherover he has held classes in the various parts of the colony, and as he has ■fixed the price of admission at tho low sum of ss, he should have a crowded attendance in Masterton.

On nccount of ihn visit of the Governor to Masterton the. rifle mitoh Wellington' City B fies v Masterton Rifles has-been postponed to the 20th inst, when it will be fired in Wellington. ' The annual meeting of the Master'on mid Opaki Jockey Club is convened for Saturday evening next at the Club Hotel, The veteran shot, Corporal Ankelel oame to the fore <m Saturday lust, and headed tho list with a score of 57 (scratch) for Lieutenant Williams' trophy, The next highest scores were Color Sergeant Dixon (.six pointa handicap) 50, Vol F.

Among the many pitfalls that exist in the Borough there are two that should Iwve the immediate attention of the Borough Cuuuoil; they are situated iu Chapel and Church streets respectively. In the firat-named street there is an unprotected bridge over Benall's creek, adjacent to tho public school, and this creek being of a good depth and abounding in refuse and fiah is naturally a rendevous for the children on going to and from school. Why this bridg'o should have been left without the usual handrail, and the approaches so that anyone cm conveniently walk into the croek is a mystery, and seeing that it is a road that is.greatly used, especially by children, the sooner the neoeasary protection is put up the better. In Church street, opposite tho Daily office, a creek crosses tho road and winds ita way thruugh the Church grounds, No doubt before the road and footpath were made the present fence «as sufficient protection for this creek, bin iiß the footpath is now within eighteen inches from the top of 'he poata, and swimming ducks and running water are great atttactions to children, unless something is done to guard against accidents we miy have to chronicle a sad event that a small outlay n .w would prevent.

We notice that Mr L. Jones has added a ladies' sitting and refreshment rouin to Ins fruit establishment in Quean street. The" boudoir' his been fitted up with excellent taste, and will be a welcome reireat in the summer season ; the fern and floral decorations giving it a very, refreshing appearance. Here the cooling drinks, luscious fruit aud tompting strawberries and cream will be enjoyed without bring to endure the embarrass lug gaze of the passers-by in the street. An inoident ocoutred in Master.'on a few days ago that goes a long way to pruvo tint over zeal for a good cause may often be mistaken for bad principle, and aUo proves the truth of the saying, " We are deceived by the appearance of goodness and truth." A leading member of a Temperance' Society was talking to a friend in the street, when he was asked .by a oroditor for the amourft of a little aocuiint that had been owing about two years. The creditor on being put off as usual, went away muttering something utiout "it has been owinit quite long enough, and I'll go for him if ii isn't paid soon." Tbo T.S. man turned to his t'riond and sud, "You know I would liavo paid him long ago, only I'm afraid ho will spend the money in drink 1" The influence of Christianity upon morals in England has been investigated, by a Japanese commission, whioh has made its report recently to the effect that Christianity has less restraint over crime, I and ospeoially drunkenness, ihanßuddism or the religion of Shinto ; so the religion of Japan will remain unchanged. Writing of lady-helps, "Sylvanu« Urban" says that in some parts of America they have " helps" who are by no means "ladies." The difficulty of procuring good Bervanlß in that country is vastly greater oven than in England. " I was talking to a Now York friend upon this subject lately, who told me that it w*b the rarest thing to retaiu the services oi a holp beyond a year. 'My wife had one, however, wholivod with us eighteon months—and it would have taken much to part us; but at last she had to go,' ' Why, what did she do ?" inquired I. 1 Well, alio did this-she boxed my wife's oars." A strange inoident occurred recently in Pearson Country, North Carolina.

Afthree-year-old child was sitting on a stile, feeding chickens, when a large eagle swooped down on the chickens, scattering them in all directions. As

the child was moving off, the eagle made a second swoop, catching the child in its tolons. With its prey it rose in the air, but the '.child was too heavy, and the eagle managed to flutter a short distance to the limb of a decayed oak. Its talons were so en-

tagled in the clothing of the child that it could not get loose, and its weight soon made it come down to the ground when the father of the child came up and killed the eagle. The child save some deep scratches, was uninjured. " Social wreckage" forms the subject of a short but highly interesting article in the" Contemporary Review" for July, which deals with the anomalies of the present social condition of

England, unci aims at pointing out some methods by which at any rate aportion of them may be rectified. The state of affairs at ono end of the' scale is thus summarised by the writer:— ', ",ln..the 1 wealthiest nation in the world' one, thirty-one of our couiipymeh'is a pauper; this,moreover, without including.any of that vast number I of destitute persons who are maintained in charitable institutions or by private benevolence. In the richest city in the world there were in one year 101 deaths from actutl starvation in full sight of woll-stocked shops. There are over 500,000 convicted summarily before the magistrates, of which nearly 100,000 are guilty of personal assaults about 2500 being aggravated assaults upon women and children. There are extensive districts in London, Liverpool, and all our large towns, where our people are living in little more than half the area of ground required for a corpse and which they could claim if they were dead. In Liverpool alone there aro some 10,000 or more children jho are neither properly fed, clothed, nor housed."-'--' v " .- Shears I Shears I A large assortment at wholesale prices, at-Bapp and Hare's, Emporium,—Advi, How to Get Siok;—Expose yourself day aud night, sit too muoh without exereise, w.irk too hard without rest, doctor 'all the time, tako all the vile npstraniß advertised, and then you will want to know ; : r /' " • M ' •-' r- — : '■£■ On Wbli,—Whioh.Jß ,wiw.Wed three wbrds-Tiae'B'op B'i'tte'rs J Read,

The game throughout -was keenly contested; the offside play oft he visitors being repea'odly hooted at by ibe spectators. .The Auckland captain threatened to take his men from the field after a try was' allowed for Wellington by the referee and one umpire, the kick for goal was not taken hy the'home ..team, although a certain goal- was -before them. The Wairarapa couiingent, TJdy (Grey'own), Perry* an! Harvey (Masterton) are spoken of'as doing good service for the winning team, the former especially being always on the ball. A goal was potted for Auckland by Warbnck in the first spell, Webb secured a j'ry, which was protested against, and A. Thompson (Wanganai) potted a goal for Wellington in the second spell, Wellington thus winning the whole season's matches against Canterbury, Otago, and Auckland and upholding the supremacy that since 1879 no New Zealand team has; been able to wrest from them, Shearing operations are expected to commence in tho (Vhareama district next week.
