PAHIATUA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

C. I£. Ruthven, who was charged at the Police Court on Friday last \yjtl} the larceny of a watcb, was acquitted. A race of some local interest came off on the Tutaukara racecourse on Monday, between the hacks belonging respectively to Messrs "\y. Moller ans J. H. Clark, Jt requited in 4 win for the former, I wigb fc rework th»t the winner is an old Wairarapa horse, and was formerly owned by Mr J. Devonshire. The success of his career when at the etud is evidenoed by the fact that one of his progeny, " First Chance," passed oat of Mr J. Devonshire's hands last week at a ypry rfjspeptfthle figure fa Mr Williams, of Te Aute, Hawko's Bay, who intends to race him.

The few delightfully fine, days we have experienced have had the effect of starting quite a number cf busli fires. It almost injudicious to | commence firing so soon, though. I notice one or two particularly patchy looking burns about. W \Vaken4an and Mr I) Orewe and his family proceed to Lyttelton on Saturday to join the Aorangi there. They intend to have a good holiday in the Old Country, The " Pahiatua Star" is indignant that the local football club should assist in bolstering np a Wairarapa paper with Its advertisement. A very wicked practice 1 Footballers are, however, noted for their laxity of morals and disregard of the public weal. Let us hope that they will be brought to a becoming frarpe of mind, apd yyjll vjevy the awHU position they have taken up in the same light as the " Star." From a point of view it ocqurFed tq D)e tbqt a pluh in, advertising, would perhaps consider which journal was the best medium for circulating the important fact that a meeting will be held this week. It seems I was mistaken and that a far deeper consideration is attached to the giving of a$ It's never too late to learn.
