Mr W. Bell, of Denison House, announces that he will offer special bargains in clothing and drapery, and that there will be a stock of £SOOO to chose from.

Several business people of a practical turn of mind have taken advantage of the opportunity offered by the publication of the catalogue of entries for the Masterton Agricultural and Pastoral Association's Show to advertise their wares, which are well worth perusing.- .

We draw attention to an advertisement on our third page of a large shipment of ■saddlery ex Rimutaka, to the. order of Mr James Elliott, the well-known saddler and harness-maker of this town, Full particulars can be obtained by a visit to his shop, where the goods are now on view,

At the Salvation meeting on Sunday last Mrs Captain Bates notified the audience that permission had been given them to erect officers' quarters' in Masterton, and it was proposed to build a cottage on a corner of the section on which the barracks stood, With this laudable object in view they were all asked to give' " in accordance as it has been meted out to them." "We've got the lime promised towards building the chimney" said the speaker, "so the building will soon be erected." The people laughed, and the collection was a success.

The reapers and binders and other agricultural implements intended to be exhibited at the show on Wednesday by Messrs E, W. Mills and Co,, camejjp by train from Wellington yesterday, and were sent direct to the grounds, where the sotting up was immediately proceeded with. Messrs Mills and Co., are exhibiting reapers and binders of the best English and American makes, and we believe are offering them at very reasonable prices, Farmers requiring machines will therefore do well to avail themselves of the opportunity offered of securing the 'machines exhibited, which will be Bold free' of freight.

B, Chennells, the Secretary, will be at the Council ' Chambers between 7and 9 o'clock to receive entries, Another old settler passed away this morning—one who lias been a resident in this provincial district for some thirty-two or thirty-three years, and who has brought up a family of eleven children, two sons and nine daughters, all of whom, except ono invalid, are married and settled in homes of their own. We refer to Mrs Rayner, of Villa-street, who, apparently, a week ago was in the full enjoyment of health and,vigor, but who has succumbed to a short but severe illness: The funeral will leave her late residence in Villa Street at 10,30 a.m. to-morrow,

Mr Young has given notice to move at to-morrows meeting of the Education Board that, "In order to prevent injustice to teachers arising from too hasty action on the part of tho Board, it is hereby, resolved that in all cases where the removal or dismissal of a teacher is recommended, such teacher shall bo made aware by the Board's secretary of the charges preferred against him; and that a period of .one month be allowed such teacher to inake' any reference to this .Board he may deem necessary; and that no'dismissal shall be final until the abovementioned period has elapsed." Given fine,weather, to-morrow will be a gala day in Masterton, and a very large gathering may bo expected. It is of course needless to specially remind our readers that the first show under the auspices of the Masterton Agricultural and Pastoral Society is to be held on that day, and that the Spring Show of the Horticultural Society ia to take place in the Theatre Rojal, . The preparations' for both these events appear to be most complete, and thero is every reason to believe that they will prove most successful. A considerable quantity of stock has already arrived in Masterton, and the town is beginning to have the appearance of something unusual being in preparation, All

hands on a number of stations have been given a holiday, so that a very large influx of visitors may be expected. •

Miss Tessieß. Chapman, who has made such a name for herself as a freethought lecturess, delivered the first of two lectures at the Theatre Royal last night. The chair was occupied by Mr A, W. Renall, the President of the Masterton Freethought Association. The attendance was only moderate, but certainly the most enthusiastic we have seen for a long time. Miss Chapman is a splendid elocutionist, and the style in which she handled her subject seemed to electrify- the audience. Very frequently she had to leave off speakingand wait till herhearershad ceased applauding, and as frequently was she interrupted again, Miss Chapman's subject last night was "Why I left the Catholic Church," and she gave a clear account of her experience in the church, and the motives which actuated her. These are, of course, a subject that is most debatable, and while some might agree with them others will differ. They, however, detracted in no way from the interest attaching to the lecture. To-night Miss Chapman delivers her second and last lecture, when her subject will be "The Virgin Mary, or the Immaculate Lily of Israel."

Concerning the final outcome or the embassy of King Tawhiao and other Maori chiefs to England the Argus London correspondent writes" Just prior to his leaving office it was represented to Lord Derby that he could not well retire without setting the minds of the Maoris at rest in regard to the grievances which the Tawhiao deputation had . brought under his notice in July last. The very diplomatic answer that Lord Derby returned to the Maori King last year undoubtedly misled the Natives, and raised hopes of Imperial interference which none acquainted with constitutional law could for a moment expect would be fulfilled, The ex-Secretary of State lias now removed all doubts of his intentions. He has requested Sir William Jervois to inform King Tawhiao that the attention of the New Zealand Government had been called to their representations, It was, he said, mostimportantfortheMaoris" to understand clearly that under the present Constitution of New Zealand the government of all Her Majesty's subjects in tho Islands is controlled' by Ministers responsible to the General Assembly, in which the natives are efficiently represented by poraons of their own race, and that it was no longer possible to advise the Queen to interfere actively in the administration of native affairs any more than in connection with other questions of internal government. His lordship observed, however, with satisfaction that it was in contemplation to increase the number of the native representatives, and no doubt the New Zealand Government would give a generous consideration to all their reasonable representations," Never before has the millinery display been greater or more stylish than it is at present atL, J, Hooper .and Go's Bon Marche, and it would indeed be a strange pocket that could not be suited at this establishment, for a hat can be obtained here from the modest price of one shilling up to two or three guineas. Those in search of reasonably priced dresses and silks will find an immense assortment to choose from, and a firstclass dressmaker being employed on the premises, leaves nothing to be desired. We should recommend all purchasers of drapery and millinery to pay an early visit to L. J. Hooper and Co,, Bon Marche.—Ad vt,

The first meeting of creditors in the estate of James Check, bricklayer, was held yesterday afternoon. Only- one creditor attended, and the meetiifg lapsed; The assets were Bet down at £l2, made up of furniture, and the liabilities at £72 9s 2d, chiefly debts due to tradesmen. The debtor'was examined as to his sarninga during the. past year, and said he had made about 25a per week on the average. He could not, however, say positirely how much he had tamed. Mr Sellar, the Deputy Assignee, said •if the debtor had paid his creditors the money which he was spending in going through the Court they would, at any rate have received a small dividend, and the debtor would not have damaged his own character.

A meeting of the "Wairarapa Caledonian Society was held at the Club Hotel on Saturday-night, Mr W. Lowes, President, in the chair. The programme Committee brought up a report, which caused Bome discussion being eventually adopted with but little alteration.
