• EMoTioNEEniTO matters in tho South Wairarapa are still ' quiet. « J-lieyare, perhaps, at that initiate B | a gfl when baby-Kissing and hand- C shaking ja the mild and seductive n form of attack,.but there are signs _ which betoken an active eruption ere •' long. The fight, from all indica. l t|'ons,_ will be confined to the two familiar figures in the arena of J oontest, Mr W. 0. Buchanan and Mr Henry Bunny, There is absolutely | nothing so far to warrant an asser- , tion that anyone else is likely to enter the field. Tho gauntlet may be j thrown down by ono or the other of t these two any day now. I

Messrs Gundy, Cox, lleyholds, J. 'onald and Buckoridgo have been \ looted as members of tho Featlierstou | 'own Board. Tho Earl of Jorsoyis dosoiibedby a , riter in the Melbourno Argus as "a [ luld of miraolo."

The annual show of tho 'Wairarapa nd East Coast Pastoral and Agricultural iociety is to be held on the show rounds, Carfcerlon, on Octobor 30th, The spacious tont of the Fredo lawn' larty in Mr T. Thompson's paddock' fas again well filled last night, when a rsry' delightful programme was subnitted. The annual general meeting of ihareholders of the Mastorton Permalent Investment and Building Society is ;o be held in St Matthew's sohoolroom this evening. • The contract time for printing the Masterton Electoral 801 l was up on Wednoaday last, but it is said that it will not be finished for a fortnight or three weeks. There is bad management somewhere, as a delay ot this kind is almost equivalent to a breakdown and is altogether inexcusable. A fresh notification with regard to the reduced train service appoars in another I column. A new and interesting advertisement from Mr W Whitt, of the Queen-streot Furniture Warohousa, appoarsin anothor column, The caso Martin v Welch, which was to have boon heard at tho present sittings of the District Court, has been adjourned till Octobor 7th. Tho business of tho Wellington Land Board has been blocked owing to the neglect of tho Government to till the vacancies caused by tho retirement of Messrs Bunny audMcOardle. Bankruptcy business was taken in the District Court this afternoon, when Messrs Eli Casolberg, and Edgar Mason recoived their discharge The public examination of Joseph and Emma Ingloy was again adjourno'd. A suggestion has been, made to us that a branch of the Philosophical Society be formed in Mastorton, Such a suggestion is an admirable ono from more than ono standpoint. In the first place tho surroundings of this town aro fully adapted for audi tn institution, and secondly thoro are in our midst "philosophers" of no mean repute whoso lights liavo hitherto been" hidden under a bushel,'' Sir George Grey said on Monday oven last that ho had heard of tho progress made by Palmerston and the countrj around, but now that he had seen it, il surpassed all expectations, A Palmorstor paper says;—" Wo aro continually hear ing the same thing. Tlie progress madi by Palmerston has been bo solid and s< rapid that it requires to bo seen to bi believed," The same. paper said thi other day that thero ware fivo thousani electors in tbdt district- How wonderfu are the powers of exaggeration I A mooting of the newly formet Eketahuna Rifle Club was held the othci evening, when tho annual siibsctiptioi was fixed'at 10a. Tho 'Secretary wai instructed to procure rifles and ammunt tioq, and i( was decided to erect a rangi at a cost' not exceeding £2, Fo: this purpose a call of Is • pe: member was made. Mr J Jone was elected a Yico. President. o tho Club, and Mr Woolf Captain Messrs Wallace, Woolf, Martin, and tin Secretary.were appointed to draw U| rules. The Secretary stated tnat % gentlemen had given in their names fo membership. ' An illustration of the honesty-of cortaii members of our dusky race has just boo: brought under our notice. A well-knowi retailer of. boots and shoos sent his bo< ivitli a parcel to place in the buggy- of European customer. Tho lad, li'owovct mistook tho vehicles and put the paroo into tho buggy of a Native ot To Ore 0« Of course when the mistake was dis covered the boy was sent to the Maoi pah to make inquiries, The old warrior at first professed to have no knowlcdg whatever of any new pair of boots bein introduced into tho tribo, but at last fair maid,who is known for her integrit; (and size), stepped out of her wliare an oxolaimsd," You lost your 'pute,'alrigk 1 find him," and straightway produce tho parcel intact.

I The caso James v Chalmers, which j ' has occupied tho district Court for the [ past two days, was not concluded when we wont to press.

Mr E Jones, Mayor of Glen Inne's, Now South Wales, who was appointed , e f Vice-president of, the locil brass band '! declined the honor thus:—"Having 1 heard you play 1 consider that my first y essential qualification to the office of '° Vice'Prepident would be stone deaf--18 nets.
