To-morrow being Prince of Wales Birthday, the Waibarapa Daily will not be published. The Loyal Mnaterton Lodge of Oddfellows meet in,the Forester's Eall this ovening. We remind our readers of the lecture in the Theatre ttoyal this ovening by' Ivu': on the Irish Home Rule question. Mr J. J, Edridge, who was oitjht years inspector of schools in North Canterbury has been appointed to the Taueru school at a salary of £l7O. Mr Edridgo will take charge of the school at once. MrW. E. Hall, dentist, has an announcement in another column, of interest to those who suffer with decayed teeth. Mr Hall will visit Masterton early in December. A moeting of the. croditors in the estate of Hugh McMaster will be held at Masterten on Friday next the 12th inst. Tho train which usually leaves Wellington at four o'clock, will be delayed to-day till (S;3O p.m., so that it will not roach Mastflrton until a rather lato hour. Tho alteration has been made foe tho conven* ienco of holiday makers. Mr J. King the well known footballer and sprinster ran 440 yards in 54 soos. at Newtown on Saturday. He ran to decide a wager that ho could not cover the dia« tance in 60 aeos, Mr H. Thompson has secured tho mail contract between Masterton anfl Castlepoint at £llO. At a meeting of delegates to "the Auckland _ Rugby Union, a letter : fr>m tho Wellington Union declining to accept tha bonus of £2O, and further declining to offer nn apology, was read. The feeling of the moeting was that by returning the £2O the Wellington Union had grossly insulted the Auckland Union. Tho matter was referred to the Gomraitteo to oomidor and forward a reply. Tho joint Committees of the Masterton and Tradesmen's Cricket Clubs will meet during this week to consider the offer of the Swimming Club, and make arrangements for shifting the shed to the Park, aB it is intented if permission is obtained from the Park Trustees to utilise it for a. pump and tool house and dressing room. A meeting ot the committee of the Masterton Swimming Olub was hold on Saturday evening last in Messrs J, Brown and Co. 'a, office, when it was resolved that the Club's shed be transferod to tho existing Cricket Clubs in Masterton on condition that the liabilities of the Swimming Club whioh amount to about £3 are taken over by the cricketers, The following are the names just given to roadß in the Taratahi-Oarterton High- : way Dißtrict:—Anderaon'o line, Randolph road; Cemetery line, Chester road; 1 From main road past Beet-ham's factory, 1 Norfolk road; from Norfolk road leading to Wainfjawa gully. Sussex road ; road 1 near fiempton's (late Burgess road), 1 Frimsley road; road leadin? to Messrs I Loek and Francis' property, Ashley road; Railway lino near Mr Wyett'a, Middleton ' road, Rats are said to.be very-plentiful at the 1 new township of Ballance on the Master- •' tim-Mangahao Block. Anything left '' about is safe to be carried off or des- I troyed, and the men at the various oamps 1 have found it necessary to Jiang oven i their boots up out of reach, on going to 1 bed, otherwise there would be - little left t in the morning. We (Pahiatua Star) < believe several- boots have been com- * pletely destroyed by the rata. .. t

The next meeting of the Loyal United Friends is' advertised for Wednesday evening next in the Forester's Hall. The following are the returns at the pott of Wellington for the week ending November Oth -.-Customs, £37614s lOd: beer, £ll9 HslOd. The D, Battery of tho Wellington Artillery are to arrive to-night and wiil fire a match with the Masterton Rifles to-morrow. Firing will commence at ten o'clock, and ladies are invited to attend. Messrs Lowes & lorns will sell on Saturday next tho privilegoß in connectiou with the Masterton Pastoral Show on the 25th inst. The hat willinclude pablicanßand refreshment booth, fruit and fanoy goods stall, and legal games, Those privileges should attract the notice of hotel keepers 1 and others. The Town Lands Trustees have been instigated by. a somewhat informal and 1 questionable communication to secure ! what is known as "Woodroofe's projeof. tion," as a site for a seoond school in j Masterton. The situation of this sito is , admirably adapted for tho purposes of the proposed sohool, but the ground is . hardly large enough, and we fear that the little gamo of grab, which is being played ' sub rosa, for' " Woodroofe's projection" ' will not turn out a success, r -The Editor of the Timaru Herald, 5 writing aa ono having authority, furnishes ; the following" It is our strong opin--1 ion that Sir John Hall left England with r the intention ot going into politics again a at the first convenient opportunity, and that nothing has since ocourred to cause J him to change his mind,' In allprobI ability therefore ho will be a candidate at ; the next general oleotion, and there are j. very few indeed who will not bB glad to j see him once more in Parliament." j Mr Thomas Whittaker (says the Southk land Times) has received a letter fro nMr H. flubtar, and dated Bit; Bay, October 19. The following are extracts from the II letter: —The most of the mon are getting '• a little gold, The thought of clearing d out haß nevor entered our parties head, e The old miners are in hope of a payable e goldheld in this locality." This party e also asks Mr Whitaker to send round a supply of ctores, Tho Times is also informed that all the Association's men are • hard at work, and that none of them d havo loft tho locality. Mrs Owen the entorprising hostess of 0 the Tinui Hotel, is determined not to let • tho travelling public suffer for tho want

I of accomodation at hor hostelry, By , recant additions tho Hotel has been con- ' Biderably enlarged, and other extensions , are now in progress which will make it one of the most complete places north of the Riiuutaka. Electric Bolls and all modern improvements have been fitted up in each room, and a large reservoir is boing builb which will hold twelve thousand gallons of water, by whioh tho bath room and the domestic portion of the Hotol will be suppliud. Rather a novelty in cricketing ooourred on tho Upper Plain on Saturday afternoon. A match was to have beon played betweon tho Opaki and Upper Plain Olubs, but tho former not putting in an appearance, sides(onsisting of eight on eaoh were picked ana a scratch match played. In tho first innings one team made about 60 and the other about 80, but in tho second attempt, one side made the gigantio score of three runs, which their eight opponents oclipsed by runuing their total up to four. One bowler took four wiokow' in succession, while on one thaoppoaing side did the hat trick. Criokot in progressing in Masterton 1 Tho following aw tho names of the Guards team that will proceed to Greytown by the evening tram on Monday, to fire a friendly match with tho Grey town ' Rifles:—Major Loveday, . .Lieutenant Tayton, Color-Sergoanfc Hale," Sergeant " Townsend, Sergeant Riohards, Privates Asher, A.

Mrs Reid, tho mother of the girl 01 Gary, or Graham, was amongst tliuso si sembled to soe tho prisoners at the &Y jckland Police Court. She said:— ■"I hi uit to see my daughter.

Un the fourth day of the Victorian I Racing Club's meeting, Trident won the 3atiterbu'ry Plato, Treiiton being- his immediate attendant. The usual monthly meeting of the Hustle LudgO'S. C., will be held on Wednesday next at 8 p.m. Hie Buiree in aid of prizes for the Papawai school on Friday last, was only moderately attended, but tlm number present did not represent the tickets sold, so that it is likely to prove satisfactory from a financial point of view. The following is the team chosen tn ; represent the Cartertoii Rifles in their ! matoh against the Wellington City Rifles . to-morrow, at Hannah's Butts, Carterton :—Reid (2,) Goodin (2,) Fairbrothor (3,) Moore' (a,) Boys We regret to record a very painful accident that happened to Mr F. Henderson, ono ot tho firm of the Morrison Bush Saw Mill. It appears that while doing something to tho heart of tho machinery, his hand was drawu between tho cogg-wheels, and the.fingers were severely crushed before it was extricated. The following team of the Masterton Cricket Club will play against the Star Cricket Club (Wellington) match tomorrow on the Park' Oval. Play to couimenco at 10 o'clock a.m. sAaro:— Howell, Harrison, Kibblewhite, Moore (captain), Littlejohn, McKenzie, Perry, Robison, Stokeß, Solby, and Williams. Emergencies: Mackay, Booth, D'Arcy, and Widens. A serious accident happened to Mr B. Gallagher, of Greytown, on Friday ovening last. Between the platform and Greytown he was out on horseback, and ,«ot thrown from his horseand ; wasdragged for a considerable distance. His head was sonously hurt and his collar bone broken. He lay for-24 hours in an insensible condition, and is still in a preoarious state. Dr. Bey was in prompt attendance. The usual meeting of the Feathorston Road Board was held on Saturday. The most important business waß an application by Mr H, 0. Doivman for £SOO for works in his ward, and £2OOO by Mr McDougall for a new bridge over tho Ruamahanga at Kahautara It was resolved to apply for the amounts under the " Loans to Local Bodies Act." treat is in store for play-goers on Tuesday evening, on which occasion MiFrank Willmott and his Company will appear at the Thoatre Royal. Mr Willmott will be remembored aB having played a most successful season here in 1883. The pieces selected are by well-known

authors and Mr Willmott's name is a guarantee that they will be properly staged and presonted. Tho American Blondin is one of tho novelties whioh Mr Wiluiott produoes this trip, The Featherston School Committee met on Saturday evening, Mr J. G. Cox in the chair. After transacting ordinary business the Inspector's report on the late examination was read showing very satisfactory results. Itwaß resolved to convey the thanks of the Committeo to Mr Bunting tho head master, and to Mrs Bunting for the liberal, assistant given at various times. It was resolved to present prizes at tho broakingup of the sohool, and to hold the annual pionio on the second Friday in January. Mr Jas. Stuckoy took the special prize of five guineas offered by himself for tho beßt group of Hereford Cattle at the Pastoral Agricultural Show held at Carterton on Wednesday last, and Mr W. C, Ruohanan the Loan and Mercantile Agency Company's silver oud for the greatest number of prizes in horses, cattlo and sheep combined, In both cases Messrs W. and H. Beetham were dangerous competitors, standing second on the list, For the oup Mr Buchanan. scored 79 points, while Messrs Beetham gained 54 points, Mr Alfred Matthews, an exhibitor in Romney Marsh and fat sheep scored 44 points- The Kate money amounted to £ll3 13s, and £9 6s was taken at the grand stand. Masterton is to-day suffering from a heavy gale of wind. Beyond the clouds of dust and rubbish that are borno along by the breozo, the drapers' and clothiers' establishments havo added somewhat to the general melee, for rolls of cloth and dross stuff, suits of clothes, and underlinen, wore to be seen passing along the footpaths at a furious rate, and getting mixed up, to the annoyance of the assistants, who had to make an outside assortment of their goods, Ono ot tho windows of the store lately occupied by Messrs Duncan and Sons blew in with a loud crash during a terrific gust that made the in tho vicinity fancy that an eruption had brokon out close at hand. A valuable trap horse belonging to Mr Tapliu of the Taueru, broke from the stable at the rear of Messrs Oaselberg & Co's atom this morning, and galloped up Queen-street with the rail of the stall attached to its harness. The fright of the animal was increased by the rail swinging between its legs, and when opposite Mr Taylors' fruit shop it rallied with the horse and trap of that establishment knocked tho horse down and temporarily stopped itself. Continuing its mad career again, and when opposite Mr Henderson.s, watchmaker's tho rail struck it heavily on the off-hind leg, breaking it at tho fetlock joint. Tho animal has had to be destroyed, as the bone of tho log is literally smashed to pieces. Mr Tayler'B horse was uninjured. Mesßvs Chas. Pownall and Cd., mortgage agents, Wellington, report that business during the last month has romainod almost stagnant, with quotations unchanged, the rate of interest remaining nominally to 8 por cent. Money is unobtainable in any largo amounts, tho banks having monopolized it by their extreme offers of 6 per cent on deposit for twelve months. Wool, notwithstandingthe strong attempt to stultify tho late riso-as fictitious, will oase our money market considerably, by circulating about three-ciuarters of a million over last year through, this country. The' enormous loss of sheep in South America and Australia must drivo foreign buyers into the English market, and we look therefore for certain further advances in place of any decline in value. To reach the rifle range which is situated over the Waipoua river, the local volunteers have improvised a log bridge, a wire being stretched across to protect tho paaseng&s to and from the butts from falling into the river. After the firing on Saturday last as tho party were returning to town, the successful marksman who had got a leg in for tho trophy, was suddenly raisaed from off the bridge, and a few seconds was seen to' rise "ah Neptune" from under the water. Some of his companions concluded he was after trout, others that ho was rccohnoitering the strength of the structure, but the fact was that the wire had given wav, and now no one is prepared to disputo that ho did not get "three legs m" on Saturday, but ( mly one counts for tho trophy.
