'Mr Bulpitt's grounds cover nearly an acre of land with frontages to both Victoria and Albert-streets, and as he is a notable gardener, they may bo shortly expeoted to present all the attractions which accompany the successful cultivation of fruit*, flowers, and vegetables.

Williams and Barker, and the enterprise of the proprietor. On the wound floor there are four commodious sitting rooms, well arranged kitchen and store rooms besides private apartments, and on the upper floor are a number of single and double bedrooms, each one of them, both abovo and below, being well lit and well ventilated. The cheerful aspeot of the rooms is enhanced bv the tine view which is obtained from them of the surrounding hills, while in the foreground is an excellent panoramie view-of the town and suburb* The fittings aad appointments 'throughout are all that can be desired. Gaa is laid through the house, commodious tanks, and a Leamington range provide an ample supply of hot and cold water for the bath-room and lavatories, and the outbuildings attached to tho premises are well-designed and convenient. Every room in the house is amply supplied with new and handsome furniture, the bedrooms in particular, under the supervision of Mrs Bulpitt, having been made models of home comfort. The decorative work

in the building, carried out by Mr Nichols, sets off to advantage the admirable appointments and upholstery, Mr and Mrs Bulpitt have many-friends in the Wairarapa, who will wish them every success with their new enterprise, No doubt 'heir efforts to provide a first-class boarding house in this town will be f'llly appreciated by visitors to Masterton, and when once the comforts and conveniences of their new establishment become known, it will be thronged with gueata.,

The Court decided to dismiss the charge, and release the accused, as the temporary excitement under which he had labored had abated.
