Thingshavoso far progressed at. theGasworks that the Engineer had ono ..bed of retorts partly 'filled yesterday morning, and gas passing through the station meter last night. This morning a second bad of retorts was started, aud taking into consideration the many little jobs always found necessary to do before starting a new works of the kind, we may fairly expect that the mains will be charged at the'commencement of next weok. MrHansConradßon'shouseatCarterton the whole of his household furniture and effects, (including a new piano), were' destroyed by fire this morning between one arid two o'clock.' It was insured in" the National for £450, viz house £250,. furniture £2OO. Tho origin of. the fire is unknown. Fortunately there was not much wind, or the conflagration would' have been serious,for if any; other build-' ings had caught fire, they must have gone for the Fire Brigade were powerless owing to the want of wator. last evening •as Messrs W. Perry, J, Yates, Woods, Bentley and Hickton were discussing the forthcoming municipal r election on the footpath near Neil's horse repository, a buggy in which two men were seated came down tho roa.d,.and the horse getting the better of the driver 'dashed among the gentlemen'named, knocking down all but'Mr Yates, and going over thetop of them. Messrs Perry and Woods received some slight injuries on the arms and legs, and the others escaped unhurt. No damage was done to the horse, buggy, or occupants, who are unknown. .' A very successful' performance ,of_M.rs. Henry Wood's favorite drama "East Lynne" was given by tho Harry Powor Dramatic Company in the Theatre Royal last evening. The piece went smoothly throughout,- the characters being sustainedin a very creditable manner by the whole of those engaged. The principal artißts were ca-lledbefpre. the -curtain as a reward for their successful efforts. The lively farce of "B.B.".'concluded the evening's entertainment. To-night the great Temperance:drama of '-'Ten nights m'a Bar-room will he produced, and to" -morrow night a'grand double bill has been arranged.

. A fire occurred on the Taratahi Plains yesterday afternoon which totally de»---troyed-a 'dwelling- hoitt'et''belimging to Messrs Williams and - - Beetham, and formerly occupied by Mr Dakin: Afire caused by a spark from the railway engine having placed the house in danger last week, some workmen were put on to burn a clear space around it, and while, in the act a whirlwind caught some of the burning rubbish and carried it- on to the dwelling, and before they could get to- it : the fire had the mastery of the building, which was soon burned to the ground. The fire also proved vefy'destructive to tho fences on tho property, a groat many chains of it being destroyed beforo the workmen could check its progress. Tho "Waiohino" Lodge of Druids, U.A.O.D. was duly opened last night at Greytown.. Brother E.

Yule A.D., Gardener, Gayfer, Horn, Meyrick, and others, Bros. F. Y^allaceof the.Poneke Lodge,. j and Morley of the Pacific Lodge also assisted, The officers elected.for the new lodge aref-Bro.

Loyal and patriotic toasts were indulged inland the company left for'their homes having thoroughly enjoyed the whole proceedings, '; seekors for to-morrow'sholiday have a good choice of amusement before them. The principal event of- this district is the Amalgamated' Friendly Societiea.Sports on the Masterton Park Oval, for, which .the most numerous entries haye been received for the princi-1 i pal events than at. any gathering of, the •kind yet held;,.in tho Wairarapa. IA. procession of the /■various' Societies will lga'vo the' Foresters'' Hall, Queen; street, at ten o'clock in the morning jhoade'd .by Pearson's Brass Band, and affer parading. the prinoipal streets, will return to the Oval, when the Sports will .commence,. among which'are Fire Brigade competi-, tiona. The Taratahi-Oarterton Race's . will no doubt secure a fair share of the sporting.public at their convenient course adjoining the Olareville Railway Sation, and the-Fite Brigade Spirts at Greytown will afford a pleasant day's .outing for thO; South f ai'rarapalwliday makers.' With: their usjial near sighted, policy the Rail-' way authorities' Me not thought .it to their interest to include the Wairarapa'in the special train arrangements, consequently those who thought of travelling to Wellington and Intermediate places by an early train will, be compelled tb? abandon'the idea, as" time-table has been arranged so that people cannot get' awayirora Maßterton'before 8.15 a.m. A reference' to our'adverti"ihg columns will give the train arraugeraotits. between Wellington and Mangamajioe; for .the holidays."
