Wo draw attention to an announcement by Mr F. Hi Wood in another column, in which he takes occasion of the tenth anniversary of his starting in business as an auctioneer to express his sense of the kind support he has received for so long a period from the Wairarapa, public and also describes the extent and scope of the business which ho has built up during'the past decade. We are sure that the cordial Bentimentß expressed by Mr F. H. Wood are reciprocated, and that his many friends will wish him continued success during tho onsuing ten years, The election yesterday for two members out of three nominated for the Masterton Town Trust caused considerable interest. Tho hoavy rain in the morning put to some oxtont a damper on tho proceedings, and at noon less than forty voters had been to the poll. The afternoon cloared, fortunately, and then conveyances were flying round in all directions, The interest was well kept up, and towards the Nose of the poll Borne good-humoured chaff was indulged in. The result- of the election was E, E, Chamberlain 171, R. Hare 158, A. W.. Hogg 75, and the result, when it was made known by the returning officer, Mr R. Brown, which was done within twenty minutes of tho closing of the poll, waa considerably cheered. In answer to the cries of "Chamborlain" that gentleman immediately stepped forward. He heartily thanked those electorß who had placed him in such an honorable position. Ho would do his best to conserve the Trust and increase its valuo, and in its administration would endeavor to give them satisfaction, Mr Hare returned thanks for the honor again confirmed ■ upon him by the result of the election. He had been many years a Trustee and the electors that day had, by thoir votes, endorsed hiß actions in the past. Mr A. W, Hngg thanked the voters, He was not disappointed by the result. - He had the gratification of knowing that he had done his duty. He did not believe in allowing an election to go by default. The only thing he was sorry for in the present election was that a large amount of misrepresentation had been made, and he most emphatically would deny tho statements circulated so industriously behind his back by those who had not the manliness to come forward and say it to his faco. A circular had also been sent out, stating that he, " when asked that morning, distinctly refused, in the event of his being elected, to support a subsidy on the money now being raised by the.footballers for the improvement of the park," This he most emphatically denied. These false statements had been made, and he invited the man who made' them to come forward then and there, and faco to face repeat thorn. He was perfectly satisfied witli tho result of the election, and the confidence of thoso 75 electors repaid him. On another occasion he should exercise his privilogo and come forward again (hear I hear!) He considered.it to some extent a sacrifice to serve on the Trust Committee. Certainly it was no gain. If electod he would have put some newlife into the Trust, and reformed tho administration. A vote of thankß to the Returning Officer concluded the proceedings.

The following" special" to the Christ church Telegraph of the 26th mat., is of interest. The six days' walking match between Edwards and Scott was concluded at five minutes to twelve last night, Scott, of New Zealand winning easily. The distance covered by the victor wan 424 miles and eight laps, and by Edwards 40(i miles and eight laps. The attendance at tho finish was about 6,000, Scott's backers wagored that he could cover six miles the last hour, which was accomplished with half a mile to spare. Edwards had suffered from swollen ankles the last three days. The excitement at the finish was immense The stage was rushed, and the building had the appearance of apperfeci Bedlam. After the termination the walkers camo upon tho stage. Edwards mountine tho chair first, in his excitemorit, was ordered down by the public, and Scott called for. Mr Frank Smith, with young Scott, got up on a table, and on behalf of the winner, returned thanks to all concerned. He had nothing to say against Edwards, but he hoped to see him press Scott a little closer, so that tho public could get some idea of the quality of the New Zealander. He prophesied that Scott's next race would be done much quicker, and said he would bo backed to walk anybody for either twenty-four hours, or six days of twelve hours each. Edwards then got up and said ho had walked seven times in Australia in important matches, and this was the first timo hu had been beaten. He considered his defeat waß due to accident, and thought it only right Scott should walk him again. He (Edwards) would claim the Championship of Australia as the six days' and nights' walker, as his records had not breen broken. EdWards aays he wat determined to beat Scott. While Scott was sorry Edwards did not make a better race, he considered the rocent contest a mere matter of endurance not of speed.

Our Pahiatua correspondent writes : The annual meeting of householders to electa new School Committee for the ensuing year took place last night at the School. About fifty persons were present. The secretary then read a full report in his usual style showing that by careful management of the retiring Committee there would be a balance to credit to start with, and also the promise of enlargement to the extent of room for one hundred moro children, Then came the report from Mr Yeats the master, which wa» very satisfactory. He spoke very •highly of the ablo assistance he had received from Miss M. J. Sedcolo who was appointed on probation in August laßt, and also of the beha/ior of the scholars, The school when it opened in .March 1885 started with a roll of thirty one, and it has steadily increased until there are now seventy-eight and several to come only the school is too small to hold them. The reports were adopted. Mr. Yeats then proceeded to take nominations for a new committeemen the following gentlemen were dulyelccted : Messrs Reese K Howlett, (Jrimp, fl.

[ A writer in the Southland Times says: —" The Ministry are nowhere. Mr Stout's star pales before that of his old discarded chief, tho man who first put him on his political legs, and taught him to go, but also not to go straight. ' It must be gall and wormwood to Ministers to think that while they are sitting in Cabinet ,up in Wellington over a policy which' is never to come off, Sir George Grey, their great opponent and rival, should be licking the butter off their bread in their own Otago. They must be infinitely annoyed too at Sir George's moderation. He does not go about inflaming the people as they hoped he would. He is at present as much the landlord's friend as the 'working man's, and in this comprehensive philanthropy lies his power. The Ministry, I am credibly informed, are really at their wits'end—on-the very brink of despair. Mr Stout is reportee to have exclaimed, suddenly and apropos of nothing that was going on, at a Cabinet meeting this very week, " Damn Sir George I wo are completely dished." I always suspected that Sir Georpe would have another innings before he retired from the field."
