The Wairarapa Daily SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1883.

A mooting of persons desirous ot forming a Jockey Club, is convened for Friday evening the 23rd hist, at tho Institute, Cartorlon. We understand that Mr Sutton, the late Sheep Inspector, will be presented with a testimonial on Monday evening next at tho Club Hotel, A train of timber trucks run of! tho lino on Thursday near tho Silver Stream, tearing up the raiis and piles for some distance, Men wore at once sot on to repair the damage to the permanent way but the up train yesterday wss delayed through the accident. Tho now Court houso at Masterton on Thursday last was appropriately inaugurated with a big" sheep case," The point at issue, viz.: whether Waironga and Riversdale were separate runs was not a very important one, but Mr Gordon Allan raisod ut very serious issue by showing that all the notices ißsued by the Slieop Department throughout the colony are illegal and invalid, inasmuch as thoy are not, as required by law, signed by the chief inspector, The sooner the Hon Mr Dick looks to this the better. Ho and his department aro beginning to bo suspectod of weakness and incapacity, It is reported that tho members of a well-known partnership firm in tho road making business have attempted to adjust their affairs by the old English method of" pumelling," and that at the next sitting of the R.M, Court a case of assault and battery will be considered. Shortly after midnight a Bmart peal on tho fire bell awoko sleepers in Maßterton, From tho sound there was reason to believothat tho hand of an oxport was at tho rope, and that the said expert had boon enjoying himself. Mr Tanered's win at Taratahi yesterday, with the Administrator, was an extremely popular one, both the colt and its owner beii)« "reeled with hearty cheers on entering the paddock after tho raco, and on weighing in. We hoar that a big pool of water on the Opaki line is lo be found on the Ruarnahanga bridge. An augur hole would drain this reservoir, which has been rotting the timber and obstructing traffic for weeks. An error occurred in Mr T. W. Shute's letter re postal reform on Thursdays issue, the year up to which Sir Roland Hill abored should have been 1830 not 1880, Wo learn from our weather reporter this week opened with cold and wet weather, On Wednesday the wind veered to the north, bringing about an agreeable change, A yellow sunset on that day indicated, however, a return of rain, and yesterday the wind got back into its former quarters, and was followed by the inevitable downfall, We have to thank the clerk of the weather for respecting tho Prince of Wales' Birthday, and holding back the rain till it was concluded, The usual monthly meeting of the Masterton Eiilo Corps was held oil Thursday evening, Present-Lieutenant Williams m command and forty members, all told. After the usual drill a meeting was held at which Sergeant 0. Willon was olected Sub-Lieut., Sub-Lieut. J, Williams baing promoted to First Lieut. The election was unanimous. Arrange menls -were made to commence tho district class firing to-day. Government district prize Sring will probably take placo next Saturday, and in addition to tho Company prizes, a special prize of £5 will be given to the best marksmen in the district, Ranges will be 200 and 600 yards, len shots at each range, Rapp & Ham's 2s Gd tea unequalled for purity and flavor.

The entertainment for the beno&t of Mr W. Lnndqvist was not so well patronised last evening as it deserved, but doubtless the pleasure seekers were too tired after the day's: excursions to trouble about turning out after ttfo, A capital programme was gone through, the first part being the comedy " Hunting a Turtle," performed by tho Masterton Dramatic Club, which was well sustained through out. The second part was opened by an overlnvo by the String ;Band (they also performed several selections during tho evening), followed by a ballad by Mr Wiokerspn. Mr Coke#' secured an encore for'a comio song "Are You There Morlarty," giving " Little Widow Dunn" in response. Mr Black, of Grey'town, was in line voice and he had to repeat "The Canadian Sleigh Song" In answer to an undoubted oncore, Mr Gant was very successful in the "Death of Nejson," giving as a redemand "The|Anchor's Weighed." The lively farce" Box and Cox" brought the entertainment to a close, the characters being entrusted to Messrs Tapereil (Box), Coker (Cox),J and Cecil Riverton (Mrs Bouncer), who managed to into a little Hfe into the audience, and send them home in a good huracfr, Bapp & Hare would remind runholders and farmers that they have just lauded 50 bales of woolpacks, 8 and lOlbs., altaohed and detachejf tops, 45 bales corn Backs, 72 doz. sheep shears in all the best brands, special plates in sewing twines.
