The Wairarapa Daily. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1884. A PASTORAL SHOW FOR MASTERTON.

TtiElocal.farmers club has, we believe, made up its mind that it is desirable that a Pastoral Show should be held in Masterton. We have always advocated one Pastoral Show for the Wairarapa and we should be sorry to see a district which is disunited on almost every enterprise, divided on the last surviving exumpkof local union, At the same time it is apparent that Masterton has a claim.for. a show .of, this cliaracter andif it makes lip its mind to hold one, the result must, with prudent management, bo a success, The question we desire to see answered is whether it is possible to meet, the wishes of Masterton residents with; out starting a second society in the Wairarapa which will clash with the 1 one already established. In. our opinion the difficulty ■ would be £[ot over if the present society whioh, in these latter days is scarcely displaying its wonted vigor and enterprise, agreed to hold an annual show occasionally in

Masterton on the condition that the residents.in this district provided the" necessary yiirds, Such an arrangement 'woultl put new life into the society and •Batfsfy'possibly.. J the discontented, ,in 'Wairarapa/Nortb. We would like,' its we said before,'to see:settleis.frqm : .one "ertd. of'tire Wairarapa to the other unite iri- making one show a success, but to secure their -concerted action it is evident that some change, will have to ;hp made. in the existing society,-..At;present the annual show is practically- ! a Wairarapa South exhibition and Wairarapa North holds ;Very'ffid'ch aloof from it. We- believe -that the society will have either to conciliate- Wairarapa North in the direction we.have indicated or submit to a competition in this neighborhood, which may possible' stimulate it somewbat;a't;first : b'ut which in the long rim will weaken : k,. ,W,e;trust that.the Masterton Farmers Club when-it takes up the Pastoral Show question .at its next meeting will be content to : make an overture to the existing society' before resolving tocreatea new one,.; ; Mr O. H. Osborna informs >hs '. that the .collection at the Dryertown\ChUrch on Sunday amounted to £3 Os 3d. The Masterton Borough Oounoil meets, this evening. ~ ' : The outgoing San Francißco Mail closes at the Masterton office on Saturday next, We have received the prize list ot the late Pastoral Show from our Carterton Correspondent, but pressure on our space has prevented us from publishing it, Messrs Wright and Alloway, the reprsentatives of the Masterton Gold Mining Company are now at work in the v ranges putting in a drive to tost the reef Messrs Hathaway and Parsons, who paid'! them a day or two ago, returned loaded wich quartz specimens.

Evitt has withdrawn his.resignation as handicapper to the Wairarapa Jockey Club, as Mr Tailored who had offended him, had subsequently expressed regret for certuih words wbiphhad created the difficulty, . /0" We have received frbui Mr Wyllie a copy of an excellent photograph of the new bridge near Mr Hawkins homestead,' The structure appears Ironi tha photo to be one of the' iuoat perfect bridges which has ( yet been constructed iu tbe Wairarapa, Tho winding river underneath with its toliage clad hanks complote a. very pretty pioturd; Graves & Fleming announce a grand distribution of new years gifts in another column of our present issue.

G.T. met at the Temperance Hall last night, the attendance being very good. Bro Ridding W.C.T, occupied the ohair. Arrangments were made for securing fit and proper persons, as members of the new Licensing Bench, and a quantity of Tern perance music was ordered from the Grand Lodge. Several Brothers and Sisters favored ihe Lodge with glees, and choruseß and a very pleasant evening waa spent. We regret to record the death at an early hour this morning of another ol the small handful of early settlers whose presence amongst us kept us familiar with the history of the colonisation of New Zealand, Mr Samuel Maxtou of Grey- , town after over forty years of. residence in the Wellington. Provincial Distriot has passed to another and we trust a better country. The • genial and kindly disposition of the late Mr Maxton waa proverbial. He had hoata of friends and no enemies, He leaves behind him seven daughters five sons and between twenty and thirty grandchildren to keep green ihe memory of the head of a family which in its domestic relations has always been remarkable for unity and harmony. Wo mention this as an illustration of the .admirable influence which the late Mr Maxton has exercised on the future of many families in this Britain of the South. Mr Maxton never took or sought a prominent position as a publio man but to a new country which depends for its well being upon the growth of families and the extension of family influences of the runt character he has been a decided benefactor.

Mr W. Buckeridge appeared and. lodged a complaint against the Inspector of Nuiaancea for conduct and' language calculated to provoke a breach of the peace, A ratl;er lively disousaion euaued, the .majority of th,e Board coti" sidering the officer had not exceeded hip duty. Mr Brunskill howeter differed from tho minority, and considered the Inspector of Nuisances had done so. however as the officer had already reaiened, the matter was allowed to drop. The Secretary was instructed to call tendera for leasing the grazing of Dorset square, The., meeting then terminated, Mr John Watt, Bookseller, Maaterton, has now on view a larpe assortment of photographs, Christmas cards, consisting of .Wellington, Auckland, Dunedin, Ohrjstchurch, and Fiji views, all at the uniform price of one shilling.
